Just as Brendan was about to speak, Sierra suddenly made her move.
No one knew how she did it, but by the time everyone reacted, Brendan’s neck was already slashed, blood streaming out.
Startled then furious, Brendan aimed a kick at Sierra, but she had anticipated it and dodged gracefully. She dusted off non- existent dirt from her clothing and scoffed,
“I just said I’m protective, and although I don’t knowwhowas you referring to, I didn’t like what Iheard. If I’m not comfortable, no one else should be either.”
With that, she glancedatBrendan’s blood–streaked neckandsneered, “Consider this a greeting gift from me; no need to
thankme.”
Leaving those words behind. Sierra turned and walked out, her commanding presence leaving everyone too intimidated to stop her.
By the time people snapped to her, Sierra was already gone.
Fuming, Brendan barely containedhisanger as he turned to a recently composed Kason, “Mr. Kason, your guest lin

Otherwise. Brendan might not be able to speak right now. Truth betold, Sierra intrigued him more with each encounter. She always managed to surprise him.
Hearing Kason’s words, Brendan was disgruntled, “Are you defending her?”
“Brendan, what are you talking about? She’s my fiancee; if Idon’tprotect her, who will?”
Understanding Kason’s stance,Brendanwas displeased but dared not clash with him.
Externally, their friendship was reputed to be solid, but in reality, Brendan’s status couldn’t compare to the Richardson family; he relied on Kason.
So, although it was hard to swallow, he had no choice but to endure. However, he still felt a twinge of resentment.
“Such a fiery person, if Mr. Kason really bringsherinto the family,it’sgoing to turn everything upside down.”
“That’s preciselywhyit’sfun.”
Kason’ssmilewasparticularly vile, “The ones who just lie down and spread their legs for you, Mr. Brendan, you wouldn’t takeasecondlook at either, right?”
Brendan, reminded of something, nodded, “You have a point.”
The two exchanged a knowing look, sharing an understanding. Meanwhile, Sierra hadjustleft the club andfinallybegan to relax her tense body.
Her sudden action had been driven by a boiling over of patience–if possible, she would have loved nothingmorethan to snap that beast’s neck.
Additionally,shewanted to pique Kason’s interest; onlythenwould he fall fasterintoher trap.
She opened herpalmtorevealasharplyhoned steel needle,alwayscarried with her–a habit developed in prison, though back then, she only hadasharpened toothbrush.
Whiletoday’sdisplay might hastenKason’sinterest, itwouldalso make himcautious.
But her protective items weren’t limited to just one needle. Storing it away, Sierra began walking home.

After walkingawhile, she sensed something off–she was being followed.

Expecting it to be Brendan’s men, she turned around only to see a familiar car, draining the color from her face.
Upon realizing she’d noticed, the car didn’t slow but drove up beside her and stopped. The window rolled down to reveal Shane, who checked his watch and said, “Five minutes! I followed you for a whole five minutes before you noticed! Seems like your alertness has dipped since you got out.”
Sierramanageda strainedsmile, “Need something?
The last personshewanted to deal with was Shane, whose psychological impact on her was profoundly dark.
Shane liftedaneyelid tolookat her and simply stated, “Get in.”
Without hesitation, Sierra opened the passenger door and sat down.
Pleased with her compliance,Shane’smood seemed to improve, even allowing a small smile to form.
“I hear you’ve been leading an interesting life in Maviston these past few days.”
“It’s been alright, Sierra respondedcautiously.
She didn’tknowwhere Shanehadbeen or why he appeared today; she was just on high alert.
“So, I hear you’re getting engaged to Kason?”
Shane glanced at her, his thoughts unclear, then chuckled, “Goodchoice.”
Sierra remained silent; with Shane, silence was the safest response.
