Chapter 168 Teach Yaron A Lesson
Jonathan’s heart sank, and his eyes turned cold. Before he could adjust his emotions, Sierra said, “He’s special.”
Not like family, but as important as family.
Jonathan’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. Nobody had made him feel this way before; emotional rollercoaster.
He suppressed his smile and made some noise, signaling to the two that he was here before walking in, pretending that he didn’t hear anything.
Seeing him, Sierrarecalledwhen sheheardthebreathing sounds she heard and didn’t dare to look at his face.
Hercurrentlookwaslikeanopen book; hesawright through her.
If Dickson wasn’t here, Jonathan would tease her. Once again, he felt that Dickson was an extra here.
Dickson seemed to realize this as well. After greeting Jonathan, he returned to his room, leaving only the two of them in the jdining room.
The silence was laced with an unmistakable tension, so thick it was almost tangible. Sierra found the atmosphere unbearable. Things had been perfectly normal between her and Jonathan before, so why did it feel so different now?
Desperate to break the awkwardness, she tried to find a topic. “Do Istillneed to cooperate with the investigation?”
Understanding her intent, Jonathan played along and replied, “No need
The truth was, there was nothing for her to cooperate with.
“Oh I received news that Evan, Sean, and Eleanor have been bailed.”
They did not directly get involved in Denise’s doing. At most, they were guilty of concealing the truth. The harshest consequence they would facewasaverbal warning and disciplinary action.
“If you want, I can have them sent back in, Jonathan said.
Whether they were involved or not was just a matter of one word from him. If Sierra wished, hecouldmake sure they stayed locked up. But she had previously said she would handle it herself, so he left the decision to her.
Sierra shook her head. This is good enough.”
If she took it any further, she would be no different from the Xander family Jonathan had already anticipated heranswer, so hewasn’tsurprised.
Even if Evan and the others were released, their lives wouldn’t be easy moving forward. After what Sierra had done yesterday, no one would remember Evan. If they did, it would only be the guy who plagiarized someone else’s work.
Speaking of which,there was still onemoreperson left to deal with.
“How are you gonna handlethatclown?”
“Clown?” Sierra thought for a moment before she understood whoJonathanwas referring to.
Right, Yaron! He was terrible, stealing her stuff to curry favor with Evan. He was more horrible thanEvan.
Although Evanwasn’tthe best,hestill had pride. Yaron had completely lost his bottom line.
She was too blind to even have a shred of feelings forYaron.
At that moment, Jonathan suddenly remembered that Sierra had once harbored feelings for Yaron. His gaze toward her turned a little… complicated.
Sierra averted her eyes, sighing helplessly. “Don’t say anything! I know Ihadterrible taste back then.”
Jonathanwasmomentarily stunned, then burst into laughter. Thatwasn’twhat he was goingtosay. He was just a little

“Call the police.” Sierra said after a moment of thought.
Finished
It was no lie to say that Yaron stole her research data, and with the punishment he was about to get, he would not be able to survive in this industry anymore. Nobody would want such a horrible man with a bad reputation.
Jonathanwassatisfied with Sierra’sdecision. He liked that she was such a decisive person
As the two chatted over breakfast, the atmosphere was relaxed andcomfortable. Meanwhile, the Xander family was far fromhavingsuch an easy morning.
Eleanor, Evan, and Sean had been released, but in just one day, they had lost all their former glamour..
Seanwasslightly better. After all, he had been through this before and had some experience. But Eleanor and Evan looked utterly disheveled. Eleanor hadn’t stopped crying, while Evan remained silent the entire time.
Evan had been this way since yesterday. Apart from during interrogation, he was silent all the time.
Sean was the youngest of the family and never needed to do anything. But now, with such a thing happening to the family, he could only stay strong and hold them together.
He knew Evan’s turmoil; Evan was such a proud person but he was trampled upon this time.
