Chapter 152 A Pawn in Her Game
Finished
As Sierra examined the tiny diamond studs, she was mildly surprised that such small accessories could possess so many intricate functions.
Seeing her interest. Jonathan spoke up. “A friend of mine specializes in these. If you need more. I can getyousome.”
Sierra nodded and accepted without hesitation.
She wasn’t reckless. Anythingthatensured her safety was always welcome.
Saturday arrived swiftly. Jonathan wore a grim expression the entire day, and Mateo was growing increasingly frustrated. Had he known this would happen, he would have followed Maddox and made his escape,
Just as he was about to speak, Jonathan raisedahand,cuttinghimoff.
Kason and Sierra had already met.
“You look stunning today,” Kason remarked, his eyes fixed on Sierra. He noticed she had taken the time to dress up, and his gaze landed on the diamond studs in herears. It was the first time he had ever seen her wearing earrings
Realizing where his eyes lingered, Sierra asked nonchalantly. “Do they look good? Jonathan gave them to me.”
Hearing her mention Jonathansocasually, Kason froze for a moment before chuckling, though irritation flickered beneath his amusement. “Sierra, what exactly are you implying?”
“I thought we had an understanding”
Kason’s anger barely remained concealed. It had been a long time since someone had dared to toy with him.
Noticing his growing frustration, Sierra remained utterly unfazed. Instead, she curved her lips into a smile. “Doesn’t this make things more thrilling?”
Jonathan, standing at a distance, could hear their conversation perfectly, and naturally, socouldMateo.
His eyes widened in shock. Did I really just hear that? Was Jonathan nothing more than a paton in Sierra’s game? Now that’s something.
No wonder he’s drawn to her.
Mateo instinctively turned to lookatJonathan, expecting to seerageon his face. But there was none. His expression remained composed, devoid of any visible anger.
Mateo was bewildered. He is not even mad?
On the other hand,Kasonwasmomentarily stunned bySierra’swords before finally understanding her implication. “So this is the kind of game you enjoy!”
“Not exactly,” Sierra replied indifferently. “But he’s useful to me rightnow. My experiment has runintocomplications, and with his help, things will gomuchmore smoothly.”
“Youcould have come to me instead,”Kasonsaid, unwilling to concede.
Sierra lifted her gaze to meet his, saying nothing, yet the contempt in her eyes was undeniable.
Kasonlet out a sharp laugh, both irkedandamused. “What’s wrong? Do you think I’m not capable?”
Sierra scoffed internally but spokewithmildimpatience. “Kason, I always believed we were the same kind of people. So don’t get caught up in petty matters.”
She let out a cool laugh. “Just like I don’tcarehowmany women you’ve had, because none of it is worth acknowledging
Kason’s heart wavered, and the way he looked at Sierra shifted subtly.
She really is different.

And though her logic made sense, he still felt dissatisfied.Ihaven’t even had a taste of Sierra yet, why should another man get there first?
With that thought, he spoke bluntly. “I can let it slide. But don’t you think you’re being a little too distant from me?”
His implication was unmistakable. Sierra understoodimmediately, and disgust flashed across herface. She didn’t bothertomask it, even tilting her head in feignedconfusion. “Areyouseriously going to witherawayif you don’t get laid? Once the clothes are off and the lights are out, doesn’t it all feel the same? After all theseyears, aren’tyousickof it?”
Kason choked on his words, while Mateo, listening in, gaped in disbelief.
Dmn, this girl really says whatever she wants.
He turned to Jonathan again, expecting a reaction, but to his shock, Jonathan wasn’t the least bit upset. In fact, there was amusement dancing in his eyes.
They’re all lunatics.
That was the only conclusion Mateo could reach.
Across from Sierra, Kason snapped out of his daze. He couldn’t help but blurt out, “How could they ever compare toyou?”
She really was the most intriguing woman he had ever encountered.
Sierra, growing impatient, said flatly. “Maybe when I’m in the mood. Just hope you can handle it when the time comes.”
Kason’s intrigue only deepened. He licked his lipsandsaid, “Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you.”
Sierra averted her gaze, avoidinghiseyes to prevent her real emotions from slipping through.
She reached up and lightly brushed her earring. Jonathan had informed her that doing so would activate the recording
function.
Then, in a languid tone, she asked, “Didn’t you say there was something planned for today?”
Kason’s eyes flickered, and he shook his head. “Not anymore. Brendan’s in trouble. Did you hear?”
Sierra nodded. “Yes.”
