Sierra added. “He had it coming. He messes with everyone
Hearing this, Kason couldn’t help but ask. “So you know who he offended?”
“No clue!” Sierra replied indifferently. “But with an attitude like his, it was only a matter of time before someone put him in his place
Kason didn’t doubt it and nodded in agreement. “That’s true. Because of him, things have been under strict scrutiny lately. Even those who used to stir up trouble don’t dare to anymore.”
Sierra felt a flicker of disappointment. She had come here expecting to gain something useful.
With Brendan’sdownfall,Kasonwould be even more cautions, making it harder to catch him slipping
But she had another reason for coming tonight. She shifted gears and said, “Enough about that. Didn’t you say you had a gift for me? Where is it?”
“She extended her handtowardKason.

She spoke coolly. “What’s going on? You can’t even handoveragift?”
“Of course I can!” Kason said, pulling out a USB drive and tossing it lightly in his hand. “You’ll definitely bepleasedwith this.”
Sierra reached for it, but Kason smoothly pulled it out of her grasp.
Her eyes darkened with displeasure. “Seriously? You’re this stingy over a gift?”
“Not at all,” Kason said with a knowing smirk. I just don’t like how distant you are with me.”
Sierra’s expression turned cold. Without hesitation, she stood up and walkedaway.
Kason hadn’t expected such a reaction. He hesitated for amomentbeforehurrying after her. “I don’t even get a little sweet talk?” he asked, half–exasperated.
Though shewasyounger than him, Sierra’s presence was just as commanding. She lifted her foot and kicked him lightly. “Get
Jost.”
Kason should have been annoyed, but instead, he found himself enjoying this. He quickly handed her the USB drive. “Alright, don’t be mad. My bad.“,
Mateo, who had been eavesdropping on the entire exchange, nearly dropped his drink.
This woman is something else. She’s gotKasonwrapped around her finger. Is Jon caught in the same trap!
His gaze shiftedtowardJonathan. This time, Jonathan’s expression was no longer indifferent.
Even though he knew Sierra was merely playing a role, irritation still stirred within him
He could imagine every expression she had made while speaking to Kason. The expressions he himself had never seen, yet another man had

Jonathan finally withdrew his gaze.
“You can leave now,” he said flatly.
Finished
Sierra was on her way out, and if Mateo hadn’t been the one who set up the surveillance, allowing them to listen in, Jonathan wouldn’t have toleratedhispresence in thecaratall.
Used and discarded without a second thought. But Mateo knew betterthanto complain. He slipped out of the car immediately.
Sierra had no idea her conversationwithKasonhadbeen overheard. Clutching the USB drive, she made her quickly.

Her heart pounded against her ribs.
Part of it was the confrontation with Kason. The other part was that she wasn’t sure if the USB drive truly contained what she was looking for.
From a distance, she spotted Jonathan’s car and broke into a run.
Once inside, she shutthedoor, finally feeling a sliver of safety.
Just as she wanted to speak, a tall figure suddenly leaned in.
She froze. Before she could react, Jonathan’s lips crashed onto hers.
Her eyes flew open inshock
For the past two days, their interactions had been limited to hand–holdingandforehead kisses. Now, Jonathanwaskissing heroutright, catching her completely off guard.
His kisswassearing, laced withasilent fury.
“Jo..” She instinctively tried to speak, but Jonathan seized the opportunity, deepening the kiss.
Sierra felt her breath hitch. She had never been this close to anyone before.
At first, she resisted, pushing against his chest. But at some point, her strength drained away, and instead of pushing him away, her hands clenched onto his coat, gripping him tightly.
Just as she thought she might suffocate,Jonathanfinally let her go.
