Chapter 389 Chapter 387 Blood and Blame Mateo and the others quickly moved to Sierra’s side, trying to comfort her. “It’ll be okay, Sierra. The best doctors in the country–and the most advanced equipment in the world–are in there. He’ll be fine.” Sierra couldn’t take in any of it. All

Chapter 388 Chapter 386 The Moment Everything Changed Stone nodded. “The doctor was an imposter. The real one was knocked out in his office. Same with the nurse–she was left unconscious in the hospital room.” “So we were right. There’s an organization behind Quinn,” Johnathan said as he turned off

Chapter 387 Chapter 385 The Enemy of My Enemy +8 Pearls From the moment Jose could remember, he’d been taught to respect his older brother, to always put Johnathan first. And for a long time, he truly believed it. Even when Johnathan never gave him so much as a passing

Chapter 386 Chapter 384 Buried Lies +8 Pearls That day at the funeral, his uncle had seemed ready to take him away. But in the end, he left him behind. Not long after, the Yaeger family vanished. Word was they’d gone abroad. Before leaving, they handed over a massive portion

Chapter 385 Chapter 383 The Name She Loved “You wash the vegetables. I’ll cook when I get back.” +8 Pearls Johnathan handed the bag in his hand to Sierra as he spoke. The two of them had an easy rhythm. Sierra nodded without acknowledging Chase and went inside first. “What

Chapter 384 Chapter 382 Letting Go After leaving the Wynn family, Johnathan felt lighter than he ever had. So this was what it felt like to let go–like shedding a weight he didn’t even realize he’d been carrying. He had been propped up entirely by hatred. On the surface, he

Chapter 383 Chapter 381 The Line in the Sand Jonathan had never given it much thought before, but after spending so much time with Sierra, he’d come to realize just how much he despised these kinds of relationships. He stood up. “Grandfather, I’m leaving.” From now on, whether there was

Chapter 382 Chapter 380 Half Truths and Hollow Trust Once they were finally home, Jonathan felt himself begin to relax. The past few days had been anything but easy–his nerves had been stretched taut the entire time. He hadn’t shown himself at all, keeping up the ruse. But every moment,

Chapter 381 Chapter 379 The Calm After the Storm +8 Pearls Over on Mateo’s side, Sierra kept checking her phone anxiously. That morning, right after getting into the car, she’d received a call from Jonathan–and was swiftly transferred to another vehicle. The original car continued driving along the planned route.

Chapter 380 Chapter 378 A Fatal Mistake +8 Pearls Quinn dialed Sierra’s number, but it just kept ringing with no answer. With a pleasant smile, she said, “Ms. Sierra might be busy and can’t answer your call. We’ll try again another day!” She already knew this call would never go

Chapter 379 Chapter 377 A Perfect Opportunity Jonathan immediately understood what Sierra meant. His first instinct was to object, but then he remembered what she’d said earlier. After a moment of thought, he nodded. “Alright. I’ll come up with a plan.” Rather than constantly staying on guard, it was better

Chapter 378 Chapter 376 Smoke and Mirrors That night, when Sierra saw Jonathan, she noticed something was off about his mood. She thought for a moment. “Is it about Quinn?” “From now on, stay away from Quinn.” That was all Jonathan said. He wasn’t sure if what Mateo had told

Chapter 377 Chapter 375 A Long Game A few days later, Johnathan found an opportunity to speak with Quinn. “Having Dora follow you around every day isn’t a long–term solution,” he said. “If she doesn’t want to go to preschool, let her stay home. I’ve found two reliable people–they can

Chapter 376 Chapter 374 Only the Obedient Are Safe While Sierra and Johnathan were talking, Quinn was also questioning Dora. “What did she say to you yesterday?” Quinn asked. Dora looked at her blankly, showing no reaction at all. “I’m asking you a question!” Quinn’s voice rose, but Dora still

Chapter 375 Chapter 373 A Brother’s Promise “Don’t worry.” Johnathan’s gaze darkened. This time, he was determined to see Quinn for who–or what–she really was. The two chatted along the way, but once they got home, they both silently moved on to lighter topics. Back in the house, Sierra finally

Chapter 374 Chapter 372 Half–Truths and Half–Nods After thinking for a moment, Sierra carefully asked, “Does your mom… hit you?” Her heart was in her throat the moment she asked it, terrified Dora might nod. Thankfully, Dora shook her head. Sierra let out a small sigh of relief. As they

Chapter 373 Chapter 371 A Silent Plea Johnathan didn’t dare take it lightly. He quickly ran through everything in his mind, then shook his head after a moment of thought. “Nothing, for now.” Even he didn’t dare speak with certainty. “If I remember anything later, I’ll let you know right

Chapter 372 Chapter 370 The Edge of Trust “Alright, send it over. I’ll take a look.” Johnathan’s voice was calm and unreadable. “Got it.” Quinn responded just as briskly, saying she’d handle it. Before hanging up, she added, “Hey, when are you all free? I want to treat you, Sierra,

Chapter 371 Chapter 369 The Rift Deepens The past was the past–there was no going back. Whether Johnathan regretted it or not didn’t matter anymore. What mattered was what came next. He exhaled quietly, then turned to the professor. “I’d like you to suspend the experiment for now.” That put
