Chapter 218 The Storm Approaches
After returning home, Johnathan stayed by Sierra’s side.
He was worried about her.
But Sierra was stronger than he had expected.
Aside from breaking down the previous night, she remained composed.
Sheevenmade sure he changed his bandages.
That surprised him.
As if sensing his thoughts, Sierra spoke as she carefully dressed his wound.
1preparedfor this a long time ago.Justbeing able to spend time with Grandmawasalready a blessing”
Johnathanhad mixed feelings.
She spoke so lighily, as if she had truly come to terms with it.
But maybe that was because she had been forced to face loss all her life.
Maybethat was why she had adapted.
She looked delicate-
But she had an unyielding spirit.
The kind of resilience that made her seem almost invincible.
Johnathan didn’t know how to describe it.
Sierra, however, was not as indifferent as she seemed
She simply refused to drown in grief.
So she forced herself to stay busy..
She forced herself to focus on something else.
“Lastnight’s attack,” she started. “Weneed to find out who was behind it.”
She hesitated, then asked, “You don’t get along with your family, do you?”
“My motherpassedaway. My grandfather treats me well”
Johnathan’s tone was ca
But Sierra noticed–He didn’t mention his father. That told her enough. She didn’t pressfurther.
Instead, she asked, “Iftheyalready see you as a threat, what happens next?”
If they were already using weapons,thiswasn’t a simple matter.
Johnathan smiled family
“It’s line. I’ll look into it. They just wanted tosendme a war
He wasn’t lying

There were plenty of people who wantedhimgone.

Still, he knew exactly who was behind this.
Kason. That fool.
Johnathan had been planning to deal with him anyway.
But Kason had made the first move.
That just made things easier,
Of course, he wasn’t going to tell Sierra that.
After we send Grandma off, do you want to come to Albanos with me?”Johnathan asked suddenly.
His time was running out.
By April. he would be thirty.
And he had already promised his grandfather-
By then, he would return for good.
Sierra thought for a moment.
You go first,” she said.
She still had unfinished business.
She couldn’t leave yet
Kason needed to be dealt with.
And she needed to talk to Dickson.
Johnathan didn’t argue
He knew nothing would change her mind.
“Do whatever you want he saidlightly,
Just one thing-
His gaze locked onto hers.
“Take care of yourself
If you get h
hurt,Iwon’tgoeasyonyou next time.”
Finished
Sierra’s heart softened.
Sheleaned forward and huggedhim, wrapping her armsaroundhisneck.
Thank you
Thank you for not stopping me. Thankyoufor believing in me.
Johnathan didn’t respond.
He just held her tighter.
Neither of them spoke.
Theydidn’tneed to. But even if he was letting Sierra handle things her way-Thatdidn’t mean Kason was getting off easy.
Richardson Pharmaceuticals was in chaos.

One after another, their partners started backing out.
Letters flooded in from suppliers, saying they would be reevaluating their partnerships after the New Year.
And even within the company
The shareholders were getting restless.
Kason barely had time to breathe.
“This isn’t natural!”
He slammed his fist on the table.
Someone was behind this.
And he had a very good idea of who..
“Kason.” his father, Mr. Richardson, spoke. “Have you offended anyone lately?”
He knew his son was involved in shady dealings.
He had always turned a blind eye.
To him, the people Kason played with were nothing more than waste products.
Expendable
Besides, Richardson Pharmaceuticals had never been clean to begin with.
Among allhischildren, Kason was the one he was most satisfied with.
He was ruthless. Decisive A true businessman.
Of course, if he didn’t have those disgusting hobbies, he’d be even better.
As a man, it was normal to have desires.
But Kason, he took it too far.
Still, as long as he handledthingscleanly, Mr. Richardson didn’tcare.
Kason instinctively shook hishead.
Then he hesitated
Something lickered across his face.
Mr.Richardson caugiat it immediately.
“You did offend someone, he stated
“Who was it?
hoever was doing this- They weren’t ordinary
to be able to stir upthismuch trouble for the Richardson family-
They had to be someone important.
Kasun exhaled slowly
“The only person I’ve hadconflictwith recently is Johnathan”
He didn’t bother lying

He told his father everything.
Including thefactthathehadsent people after Johnathan.
The moment Mr. Richardson heard that four armed professionals had failed-
His expression darkened.

A professor, no less-
And he hadn’t even known about it?
