John didn't care about Sierra's reaction at all."I already made my choice," Sierra said, making it clear she would never beg for peace.John glanced at his fingers, still feeling her warmth at his fingertips. "You've made up your mind."Sierra, stubborn as ever, didn't respond. It was as good as admitting it.John stood up. Even after what had just happened, he straightened his suit like a perfect gentleman."Jade City has more than one wealthy person, but I guarantee no one but me will dare lend you any money," he said, adjusting his cuffs. "That includes your dear friend Holly.""What are you going to do?" Sierra's heart jumped."Nothing," John replied, stepping closer. "But if you go to her for help, that's a different story."Sierra's hands clenched at her sides. She had been planning to ask Holly for help, just to get through this crisis and pay her back slowly."And one more thing…" John deliberately dragged out the words.Sierra tensed.He closed the distance between

"Keeping it just reminds me of all the ways he used to spoil me," Sierra said earnestly. After being loved so intensely for so many years, it was impossible to forget everything in just a few days.Since they were kids, his love for her has always been incredibly thoughtful.Holly couldn't argue with that. Before the whole Pamela incident, she had never seen a man better than John. Not in real life, not on TV, not even in books. He brought Sierra everything good in life and took care of everything for her himself.When people said Sierra didn't deserve him, he would shut them up first and then tell them calmly, "She deserves every bit of what I give her."For years, everyone in their circle had said that no one could believe the ruthless, decisive John Henderson was actually a hopeless romantic.A hopeless romantic.Sierra used to believe it, too.But people change. Even the most perfect man couldn't resist temptation in the end."Do you know anyone reliable?" Sierra asked.

Jason Sanders, Holly's father, snatched the phone out of Holly's hand.Holly blinked. "What are you doing?""Pick one," Jason said, glancing at her message list and noticing the pinned contact named "Partner in Crime". Seeing the two unread messages, he calmly shifted the phone to delete the messages. He knew that contact was Sierra.Holly was confused.She didn't notice what he just did. "Pick what?""Me or your phone?" he said, not letting her catch on."That's easy. My phone, obviously." Holly grabbed her phone back. "If I picked you, who knows what your little girlfriends would say behind my back."Jason said nothing.Holly didn't care about his love life as long as nobody bothered her. "If there's nothing important, I'm leaving.""Wait." Remembering a certain someone's warning, Jason tried to keep her there longer. "Did you know Sierra and John are getting divorced?""Yeah, what about it?" Holly replied casually."Try not to get too involved with her right now," Jason w

"You said it yourself. I'm crazy," John replied calmly."Wait, you're serious?" Kenneth didn't expect that John was that kind of person. "If you're going to be like this, don't ever ask me for help again! Playing the bad guy and the scapegoat is more than I signed up for."John just gave him a cool look. "Coward."Kenneth was speechless.If this guy weren't his best friend, he would have tossed him out the window right now!"Take your people downstairs," John said, thinking of the woman probably already in tears next door. His gaze darkened. "No one's allowed up here unless I say so.""Yeah, yeah, we won't bother you," Kenneth shot back sarcastically, but gave one last warning. "Just don't go overboard. She genuinely looks scared."John gave him a sideways look.Kenneth threw up his hands. "Fine, fine. I'm gone, alright? I'm gone."He didn't linger, quickly leaving with his guards and assistant. Only when the elevator doors closed did John slowly make his way to the room where

While Sierra was still trying to figure out what John meant, he took out his phone and made a call right in front of her. "Didn't you say you liked this sort of thing? She's in the room. She's all yours.""What are you doing?" Sierra was suddenly seized by a sense of dread."Didn't you just say you would rather it be anyone but me?" John put away his phone and looked at her again, his expression was returning to icy indifference, no hint of affection left. "I'm just giving you what you want."Sierra's heart plummeted.Seeing her fear return, only then did some of the coldness in John's eyes seem to fade.Sierra's hands and feet went cold as she frantically scanned the room, searching for anything to defend herself or escape with. There was nothing she could use. No weapons, no way out.Soon, footsteps sounded in the hallway. The suite door opened from the outside, and in came Kenneth, who had just left a moment ago."She's all yours," John said, glancing at the pale-faced Sierra
