If Danny and Agnes could be that cruel to a young boy, how could they possibly be decent people?"Marcus, see them out." Something clutched tight in Sierra's chest.Marcus moved at once.Danny and Agnes wanted to say something, but Marcus forced them into the car.Danny's driver did not want to leave, but the moment he felt the pressure coming from Marcus, he obediently started the car and drove away. It slowly disappeared from Sierra's sight."Now that she has found her real father, she thinks she is untouchable." Danny couldn't let go of his anger. No one had ever treated him like this in all these years. "She was always meek when she met us in the past.""I really don't get it. Why did you go looking for her?" Agnes could not understand it at all."If she really is the daughter of the Lynch family and also tied to the King family, especially when both were of Harbor City, then she could bring us great value." Danny's eyes were filled with calculatedness."No matter how valua

Sierra stayed in the master bedroom for a while, her thoughts drifting back to John's life now. Ever since she had known him, there were always several people taking care of his daily needs. Mr. Rogers, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Lewis, and several other servants as well as private chefs for the major cuisines.He was used to villas and estates surrounded by flowers and greenery. To him, all that green meant life.So why was he living in an apartment now?It could not be about money. What he made in a month was enough to buy a whole villa.As she thought about it, she took out her phone to look something up. Before she could open the browser, she saw a message from Kenneth. [Are you free this afternoon?]Her fingers tapped on the phone. [I am, but not for long.]She still had to review the projects in Jade City and the neighboring city. If she had time, she would write two bid proposals for the tenders. If she got too busy, she would only do one.Kenneth quickly sent a voice message.

After half an hour, Sierra sent Kenneth a message. [How much longer until you get here?]Kenneth replied: [Two minutes.]Sierra set her phone down and waited.Thankfully, when Kenneth said two minutes, he meant it and he came up soon after. Sierra did not stay any longer and left after a quick nod.Kenneth began to talk to John again. He looked at the man who had not said a word to make her stay. "Sometimes, I really can't tell whether you have a high or low emotional intelligence. If you had just acted a little weaker, Sierra would not have taken one look and left."John picked up the tablet again and went back to work."I'm serious." Kenneth pressed a hand over his. "Why don't you try the wounded gazelle gambit?""Get out." John had mostly recovered mentally by now. What remained was the damage this whole time had done to his body, and that still needed time to heal."I know what you're thinking, but things are different now. If you don't use pity to make Sierra feel bad for

It wasn't long when a middle-aged woman walked over. The moment she saw Pamela standing there with eyes red, she grabbed her by the hair and growled, "You worthless girl! I've been looking all over for you! You don't answer my calls or reply to my messages. Do you think you can do whatever you want?""Ah! That hurts!" Pamela yelped when her scalp started hurting badly."So you do know what pain feels like?" The woman's face darkened a lot more. "Why didn't you think about that when you ignored my messages?""Why should I reply to you?" Pamela yanked herself free, forcing herself out of the woman's grip through the pain. "I already know what you want every time you call. It's always the same thing! I can already tell you now to stop dreaming if you think you're going to marry me off for money!"The woman slapped Pamela on the face. Blood welled at the corner of her mouth immediately, but she glared back stubbornly and refused to back down."Watch your tone with me." The woman's e

Sierra blinked after hearing Holly about calling her father instead. That hadn't even occurred to her."Forget it. You probably won't feel comfortable making that call anyway." Holly did not care much about things like this. "I'll call him."Holly did exactly that.A minute later, she sent Sierra a message. [He'll be there in about forty minutes.]Sierra had wanted to ask whether this would upset her. But after thinking it over, she realized Holly was someone direct. Pamela's existence did not really affect her, and Sierra was the one overthinking it."You came." A weak voice came from the person on the hospital bed.Sierra turned to look, only to see Pamela had opened her eyes, and she looked terrible."I'm sorry you had to see me like this." Pamela sounded drained.Sierra stayed where she was and waited for Mr. Sanders to arrive. Looking at how fragile Pamela seemed, she could not help asking, "Weren't you afraid you would really die?""I jumped because I wanted to die." Pam
