Chapter 200 A Tense Encounter
Sierra’s lips twitched slightly; she felt like she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Netizens had done a thorough job digging up dirt, exposing every trivial detail about James and Yulia. With people hassling them daily, the couple couldn’t stand it any longer and had sneaked away at night.
Their numbershadbeen unblocked, but calling them just led to a shutdown notification.
Unable to find them, Sierra was about toheadhome whensheunexpectedly ran into Kason.
At the sight of Kason, Sierra’s body tensed up immediately.
“Areyoufollowing me?”
Sierra knew which buttons to push with Kason. Sureenough, her confrontational stance made Kason back down instantly.
“It’s not following: my people werejustkeeping an eye out here, trying to help you get back at them. But those two slipped jaway toofast, we didn’t catch them,” Kason said with a smile. Remembering his secret research facility, Sierra’s pupils
contracted.
James and Yulia were the kind of people who could disappear without anyone knowing, fitting perfectly with Kason’s requirements.
“I don’t need your help, Sierra said coldly.
Kason wasn’t upset; he actually liked Sierra’s fiery spirit.
“Since we’ve bumped into each other, let me ask how you’ve considered the matter from the other day?” Kason inquired. Sierra had already planned her response. “Not now, I don’t have the time.”
She intended to keep Kason on hold, hoping to see if Jonathan and Dickson could dig up more dirt. If they could, she wouldn’t need to keep playing along with Kason.
And truly, she didn’t have the time to spar with Kasonrightnow.
After she spoke, she turned to leave, but then she heard Kason, “Is it because of your grandmother? I heard she doesn’thavemuch time left?”
“You’ve been checking up on me!” Sierra made her displeasure quite apparent, pretending to be provoked.
Kason quickly raised his hands in defense, “No, it just came up in conversation.”
Who mentioned it? Sierra wondered.
“But it’s good I heard it! I might have a way to save your grandmother.”
Kason’s words interrupted Sierra’s thoughts,andshe sharply turnedtoface him. “Wh

did you say?”
But her second thought was of Kason’s involvement in illicit drug research, which might actually mean he had a way.
She couldn’t deny being tempted; at that moment, Sierra wavered.
“What’s the catch?”Sierraasked.
Kason smiled and said nothing,onlysuggesting, “This isn’t the place to talk. I have to go, but if you decide, come find me.”

With that, Kasonwalkedaway, feeling somewhat triumphant. After so many interactions where he’d been manipulated, he finally felt he had the upper hand.

moved, and unreachable for now.

Lily was anxious and hesitant, and she didn’t notice Sierra’s preoccupation with Kason’s words. Sierra was overwhelmed and rager to talk to someone about it.
Normally, Jonathan would have been back by now, but he was nowhere to be found, and his phone went unanswered.
At that moment,Jonathanhad driven far enough and finally stopped. He then called Mateo to pick him up, throwing his phone onto thepassengerseatandcasually shedding his coat and suit jacket, loosening his cuffs.
As he watched four well–built men exit a following car, their posture betraying their training, Jonathan–narrowed hiseyesand cracked a slight smile before stepping out of his car.
“One at a time, or all at once?” As he rolled up his sleeves, he asked casually.
The four men exchanged a glance, anger in their eyes at being so underestimated.
They were cautious operators, tasked with bringing back a hand of the target, and couldn’t afford to screw up.
Thus, they charged at Jonathan together.
Maddox and the others hadn’t left yet; they were still causing trouble for Shane. Receiving Jonathan’s call, they decided to head over together.
When they arrived, Jonathan was leaning against his car smoking, four men lying motionless near him, their condition
unknown.
“What happened to the car?” Stone asked.
