Some people tried to play the family card, saying how the old patriarch had always taken care of them.
Finally, someone mentioned Sierra. That was when Jonathan finally reacted. He gave the speaker a cold glance and sneered. “You dare to bring her up? Have you already forgotten what you did before?”
Only then did the crowd realize what today’s confrontation was really about. This wasn’t just about power or betrayal – it was about what happened that day.
Jonathan blamed them for going to cause trouble and frightening Sierra. He was here specifically to settle accounts for her sake.
But in their minds, they were the ones who had been frightened that day! That woman might look slender and frail, but her presence had been anything but weak it was overwhelming.
Since then, they had all behaved obediently.
–
Those who were quick–witted immediately apologized and even promised to go and personally apologize
to Sierra.
Once one person took the lead, the others quickly followed suit.
Only after a long time did they finally hear Jonathan speak. “I am not my grandfather. I don’t carry his sentiments. And don’t think you can bind me with so–called family rules. To be honest, agreeing to take on the role of family head for his sake was already the greatest kindness I could offer. Don’t test my patience. If I’m displeased, no one will have peace.”
A surge of resentment boiled in their chests, but none of them dared speak out. For the first time, they truly came to understand Jonathan.
He asked detailed questions about recent affairs, issued his orders one by one, and finally dismissed them.
Seeing the time, he brought a few of his trusted men and said, “We’ll talk in the car. There’s something I need you to do.”
He had promised Sierra he would return to have dinner with her, so time was short.
On the way, he used every moment to explain the next steps of his plan.
“Isn’t this too risky?” someone asked uncasily.
“Now is the perfect time,” Jonathan replied. “Victor is injured and overwhelmed. If we strike directly, he can’t respond. And besides, I’m only targeting Victor. I’m not stepping into anything else, so it won’t affect
us,”
His words reassured them. They didn’t follow him up the mountain but instead drove off again.
When Jonathan returned home, Sierra was still asleep. For a moment, he worried something was wrong and thought about calling a doctor, but the old butler stopped him.
“Let Ms. Sierra sleep, sir. These past days, she hasn’t had a single peaceful night’s rest.”

The words made Jonathan’s chest ache.
He took off his suit jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and went straight into the kitchen.
By the time Sierra woke, Jonathan had already prepared a meal.

“So carly?” She glanced at the clock. She hadn’t expected Jonathan to return so soon, let alone with food already ready.
“I told you I’d come back early to be with you.”
Jonathan naturally took her hand and asked, “How do you feel? Rested?”
“Mm.” Sierra gave a lazy yawn. “Feels like I’ve caught up on all the sleep I’ve missed these past days.”
Not long after they ate, Mateo, Stone, and Draven came over.
They had been worried sick since Jonathan’s recent ordeal, and Jonathan sent Sierra to rest while he stayed with them to talk.
Perhaps because Jonathan seemed in such a good mood today. Mateo grew rowdy, trying to push his luck until Jonathan disciplined him with case, making him behave instantly.
It had been a long time since the house had seen such lively banter, and even Sierra found herself smiling.
After the noise settled down, Stone spoke. “Victor is still unconscious from his injuries. Some people are furious.”
And who would those people be? Naturally, those closest to Victor.
Jonathan’s expression didn’t change. He said slowly, “There will be things to make them even angrier soon. enough.”
Everyone looked at him at once. Mateo couldn’t hold back. “What did you do?”
“You’ll find out tomorrow,” Jonathan said.
The next morning, anyone with connections heard the news: the Victor family had been hit with a devastating blow. Several of their most profitable businesses were all under investigation
Victor’s people frantically tried to reach him, but he was unreachable. His family’s dissatisfaction with him
grew
But that wasn’t the most serious problem. The real disaster was that Victor’s sons had grown restless. With their father out of contact, they split into factions, cach vying for the top position
The Victor family was splintering apart.
The following day, Mateo and the others rushed over, barely able to contain their excitement, cager to share the good news with Jonathan
Jonathan, of course, knew better than anyone what was happening- because he was the one who orchestrated it all

The phrase “strike while he’s down” was never just talk.
And just now, word came from the hospital: Victor had woken up.
To open his eyes only to be greeted with such a grand gift – Jonathan wondered if Victor would appreciate it.
