“Let him leave, then. He’s not that important anyway.”
“You don’t get it.”
“If he’s gone,whoelse is going to turn a blind eye? And why is he suddenly leaving in such a hurry?”
Three days to wrap everything up–it was way too fast.
Mr. Richardson scowled.
Kason frowned. “We were never really after him anyway. Nothing changes for us.”
“He’s been here for three years. It’s normal for him to be transferred back. Dad, I think you’re overreacting.”
Hearing his son’s reasoning, Mr. Richardson hesitated. Maybe he was reading too much into it.
“Still, be careful. I have a feeling this isn’tassimpleasit looks just make sure nothing goes wrong on your end,” he warned.
“Don’t worry, Dad.” Kason agreed, but his brows remained furrowed.
“Three days and he’s gone?”
Hearing the confirmed timeline from Mateo, Sierra’s expression tightened. “Could it be thatShanecaught wind of something?”
“Definitely. Jade holds a high position. Even though Old Heandheoperate in different circles, someone at his level will always hear things. He’s smart, too–he probably put the pieces together himself, Mateo said, clearly unhappy.
They could make things difficult for Shane behind the scenes, but at the end of the day, those were just minor squabbles between younger generations.
Family elders wouldn’t interfere with that.
But when it cametoattacking someone’sfoundation, thatwasan entirely different matter–one no one would take lightly.
That’s why, for now, theycouldonly push things this far.
Just like last time, all they had done was teach Shane a “lesson.”
It was thefrustrationof being part of a powerful family. They couldn’t act onpersonalgrudgesalone–too many things had to be considered.
Mateo didn’t spell everything out,burSierraunderstoodfromhisexpression
Shane was truly a difficult opponent.
She could tell–Mateo wasn’t nearly as cautious when talking about Kason.
To him, getting rid of Kason was as easy as squashing anant
ButShane was another matter entirely.
Yurtta wasn’t about to push him further on it. Instead,shesaid, “Whatworriesmenowis Kasoncatchingon and wiping all the

They still hadn’t found the location of his inhumane experiments.

If they failed to take him down this time, they might notgetanother chance.

But before she could make a call, a strong hand pressed down on hers…
“If Kason is suspicious, you’ll be in danger,” Johnathan warned, his expression dark…
“Sierra, you promised me.”
She promised she wouldn’t risk her own safety
Sierra parted her lips but didn’t speak for a long moment.
I know but after seeing all of that with my own eyes, I can’t just let it go.”
The animals, the human test subjects, the ones who had already died…
Unless you saw it yourself, you would never understand the horror.
Johnathan. I have to do something.”
Finished
No. Johnathan’s voice was firm. “Stay out of this. I’ll handle the rest. I promise you, he won’t escape. That’s enough, isn’t it?”
Sierra still wanted to argue, but seeing the unyielding look on his face, she finally nodded.
Johnathan wasted no time.
The footage Sierra had taken yesterday was already enough to serve as partial evidence.
With this. Stone’s job became much easier.
But it wasn’t enough to bring Kason down completely.
Johnathan had Dickson work with Stone’s people to infiltrate Richardson Pharmaceuticals‘ system, searching for more incriminating data.
Dickson quickly realized he was out of his league.
Stone’s hackers weren’t just good–they were top–tier.
Meanwhile, they were still trying to trackdownthe missing people.
Eventually, their search led them to a crematorium.
“We found records of late–night cremations–noofficialdocumentation, no records at all, Dickson reported excitedly.
They had been trying to figure out where the bodies went.
Kasonwouldn’thavekept themaround.
Dumpingthemwasn’tan option–itwouldleavetoomanytraces.
But turning them to ash Thatwasplausible.
So they investigated several crematoriums and eventually focused on a small, poorlyregulatedone
There, theydiscoveredmultipleundocumentedcremations, with burn times lastingmuchlongerthanusual–too long forjusta single body
With the pieces falling intoplace, Stone personallyarrivedin Maviston to discuss the situation with Sierra and Johnathan.
I wasn’t supposed to be handling this case in the first place, Stone admitted. “But now that wehavealead, I’ll hand it over to a friend of mine. He’ll dig deeper.”
