"You knew Mom would be upset, and you still did it. Looks like you don't care about her as much as you say you do," Tommy said to John, his eyes full of open dislike.John raised his brow. He didn't expect Tommy to catch that.Tommy refused to fall for his act. "Anyway, I'm telling her about this. She needs to see who you really are.""And then what?" John asked."So she'll stay away from you, and you'll always be Uncle John," Tommy said."So what changes? Right now, all you do is make her unhappy. You haven't brought her any positive emotional value," John said as he crouched so they were eye-to-eye, as scheming as ever. "Looks like you don't care about her as much as you claim."Tommy tried to argue, then realized he had walked right into his father's trap. It was not a good thing when his father was so good at debates, too.His little mind raced. After a long moment, he finally squeezed out something and said, "If you keep this up, you're going to lose a son.""That's fine.

Sierra looked away and stopped paying attention, her mind involuntarily wondering if John would answer the call from PamelaThe thought had barely appeared when John slid to accept the call. "What is it?"Pamela's voice came through, agitated. "My mom showed up. She's forcing me to go back and get married. She hit me and yelled at me. When are you coming over to help me sort this out?"John's hand tightened around the phone as his lips pressed hard. After a long silence, he replied, "I'll arrange for someone to come over right away..."Pamela dropped all pretense, her tone turning raw. She simply wanted to abuse John. "You promised to take care of me, so you shouldn't be pushing your responsibility onto other people! If they can't handle it well, that means you didn't take proper care of me, and that means you didn't keep your promise."That simple sentence made John's eyes grow even darker.Seeing his expression, Sierra knew he would probably go deal with Pamela. She opened th

Sierra closed the car door and headed for Anna's room as fast as she could. The closer she got, the tighter her chest felt. Even she didn't quite understand the complicated emotions rising inside her.Two minutes later, she reached the door and saw a man in a suit and tie sitting beside her mother's bed. Even looking at him from only the side, she could tell that he was a handsome man. She walked in quickly and kept her voice as even as possible. "Who are you? Why are you in my mom's room?"The man turned toward her.Only then did Sierra see his face clearly. In person, he looked even more intense and determined compared to the security camera footage. His dark eyes held a calm depth that came from weathering countless storms. There was an unmistakable aura of power about him. Sierra had met plenty of people since she was young, and she knew in an instant this was not just a simple man. If he were an enemy, he would not be easy to deal with."I am an old acquaintance of your

Lucy didn't fall into the trap he had set up for her. She simply said in her usual calm tone, "I don't care whether you look into Sierra's mom or not. I'm just wondering why my mentor would bother hiding both of their files."John's brow lifted a little. Was Anna really not her mentor?"If it's just business, then it doesn't matter," Lucy added in her usual lazy tone. "If it's something serious, though, that makes me a pretty unfilial student if I continue with the investigation.""You told me your mentor retired," John said without hurry."Yeah," Lucy answered."In that case, anything on the internet has nothing to do with her anymore," John said. "Whether someone can find it just depends on their skill.""A fair point," Lucy said."Investigate him then," John said with a nod.Lucy glanced at the security camera footage on her screen. After a moment of hesitation, she helped him with the investigation. Her mentor was using a different name now than before. Even if John followe

"Is there a problem?" John noticed the change in Sierra's expression.Sierra pointed at the room number he had sent and didn't reveal her full suspicion in an obvious manner. "Is Origin Games generous with business trips? Do we each get our own presidential suite?"John didn't answer her directly. "You'll see when you get there."The way he said it eased her doubts a little. If they were sharing a room, he wouldn't sound that casual. Besides, he was the president of Henderson Group. It wasn't likely he would be going to his own company on behalf of Origin Games.With that in mind, she took the car John had arranged and went to the airport. She queued with the other passengers to collect her boarding pass.John sat in the back seat of the car outside, his eyes dark and unreadable. "Is everything set?""All set," Robin answered from the front, his tone solemn. "We bought all the seats around Ms. Bell. No one will be crowding her."John gave him a look.Robin corrected himself imm
