John was satisfied with Tony's ability to read the room and left without him having to order it. He then stood next to Sierra and asked about her work as they took a walk and chatted. "Is the project going well?""It is," Sierra said."Tell me anytime if there's anything you need help with," John offered.Sierra stopped, and John did so as well. "There's something I've always wanted to ask you," she said. "Go ahead." John nodded.Her voice was calm, but her eyes were serious. "In your eyes, am I always someone you have to take care of? Someone who can't survive on her own?""No," John said."Is that always the case? Or do you only think that now?" Sierra asked again. It wasn't that she needed an answer, but she would always feel something was left unresolved if she didn't get an answer. Whenever she thought about it late at night, it would upset her."That has always been the case. I know you're a very capable woman," John said sincerely. Sierra knew he was lying. When

"Will he really do that?" Daniel asked, wondering if John would really intervene one more time.Nathan still resented Daniel for what had happened in the past. If Daniel hadn't been so old, Nathan would not have bothered speaking to him at all. "He's right there. Ask him yourself."Daniel was getting upset, but he didn't say anything. After the terrible fallout between them years ago, it was already good enough for things to ease up to such a point."And Sierra?" Daniel asked."I'll talk to her." Nathan finally agreed after thinking it over.Sierra had not grown up under his care, and she was closely tied to the King family. With the two families' relationship so hostile over the years, those people would definitely object if she inherited his shares later.Even if he could make everyone agree in the end, it would certainly cost him a lot. It was better to spend one meal to scare them a little using John.When Nathan approached, Sierra, Holly, and Lucy had just finished a game w

John's expression darkened slightly when he heard from Tommy what he had to say. As a bodyguard, Marcus was a little too meddlesome.It was bad enough that he had said that in front of Sierra. He had actually said it in front of his son too.Tommy sensed his mood and asked on purpose, "Do you want to help me find one?" "I've only seen people get rid of their rivals. I've never seen anyone create one for himself," John said unhurriedly. "You can find a dad on your own. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about this."Tommy looked at him with his eyes. "Then I don't want to sleep next to you anymore."John raised his eyebrow. "Oh?"Tommy said, "I want to sleep by myself."John raised the blanket without hesitation and said, "Sure."Tommy blinked in confusion. Since when was his father so easy to provoke?"When your mother asks later, remember to tell her you were the one who sent me to her room." John sat up, his tone calm. "I didn't decide that myself."Tommy was even more co

Sierra glanced downstairs at Tommy's question. "He went downstairs."Tommy froze.Was it because of what he had said earlier?"Do you want to go see?" Sierra asked."What?" Tommy could not react in time."He went downstairs with Marcus to have a chat." Sierra was only worried they might make too much noise and wake up Tony, who loved watching drama more than anything. "I don't know if they'll fight."Tommy said, "Dad can't beat Marcus."While saying that was embarrassing for his dad, Marcus was really strong. Tommy had never seen anyone stronger so far.Sierra said nothing. She didn't know much about John's fighting skills, but there had never been any need for him to step in himself during their five years of marriage. Even when there was any conflict, the bodyguards he brought with him would handle it."But he won't lose completely," Tommy quickly added.Sierra agreed with that. John was smart. He never exposed his own weakness against someone else's strength. So far, she h

After saying goodbye to Anna, Sierra got into the car and left for the dinner with the Lynch family.At the same time, Anna opened her contact list and sent Nathan a message. [Sierra's on her way. If anyone in the Lynch family gives her even the slightest trouble, I don't mind hacking into your company and leak a few things.]This was the first time Anna had messaged him on her own volition since they added each other as contacts.Nathan replied quickly. [Don't worry.]Anna put her phone away and did not look at it again.Meanwhile, Nathan asked Daniel, "Did you warn everyone?""No," Daniel said.Nathan frowned slightly. He was clearly unhappy with that answer.Daniel was the one who wanted to invite Sierra, and he was also the one who had promised to speak to everyone in advance so Sierra would not become upset over anything. But now, he said he had done nothing?"I asked them to come an hour early," Daniel said. Despite his aging face, he was still sharp and alert. "By my
