Chapter 226 Picking Up the Pieces 

Kason smirked, as if he found the whole thing amusing. Without hesitation, he nodded

That dog belonged to Shane 

But what was Shane going to do? It was just a dog

The Samoyed barely reacted when it was brought out. Whether it was because it believed its owner the endless torment it had endured, Sierra wasn’t sure

Either way, it showed no emotion

If dogs could lose their souls, this one had

A Kason walked her to the car, he casually said. If the dog starts acting differently, let me know,” 

Sierra tilted her head. What if it dies?” 

was dead or because of 

Kason chuckled. Then tell me anyway. Not my dog. I’ll have to pass the news along to its real owner” 

As soon as Kason’s car drove off, Sierra stepped into the elevator

The doors slid open- 

Johnathan was waiting

The moment she saw him, everything inside her crumbled

She didn’t say a word

She just threw herself into his arms

Johnathan held her tightly, saying nothing

Mateo and Dickson were standing in the hallway, but they understood immediately. Without a word, they turned and walked 

away

Johnathan didn’t ask her anything

He didn’t tell her to stop

He already knewKason’s existence alone was enough to make Sierra sick

And the more disgusting he was, the less Sierra would back down

She wouldn’t let herself

It was a long time before Sierra finally pulled herself together

Her face was unreadable again

Let’s go,she said, voice steady

With that, she led the dog to her apartinent

Mateo joined them a moment later, leaning against the doorframe, watching as Sierra gently cleaned the Samoyed’s wounds

He glanced at Johnathan

She looked too calm, too controlled

Even he had barely been able to stomach what he had heard today

And she had seen it firsthand

Chapter 226 Picking Up the Pieces 

Johnathan didn’t acknowledge him. His focus was only on Sierra

She had always been like this

Even when she was surrounded by darkness, she carried a light inside her

Even if the world was cruel, she never let it steal the warmth from her heart

The dog lay completely still

Even as Sierra treated it, it didn’t react

It had lost its will to live

They had forced it to break itself apart

Sierra stroked its head gently

You deserved better.” 

A dog like thiswho had been thrown away so easilydidn’t deserve an owner like that in the first place

It didn’t even flick an ear in response

After washing her hands, Sierra finally turned to Johnathan.. 

Did you get everything recorded?” 

Yes.” 

Finished 

“Will it hold up as evidence?Johnathan exhaled

“The problem is, technically, everything they’re doing is legal. The contracts were signed voluntarily. The research itself isn’t classified as illegal. And since no one died, there’s no clear crime.” 

And the animals?Johnathan hesitated

They’re not endangered species. No laws protect them. At best, it’ll cause some public outrage, but that’s all.” 

Sierra didn’t look surprised

We’re stil! missing the real evidence, then.” 

She crossed her arms, deep in thought

The videosand the missing people.” 

Because that’s what this was about

They were all dead

She had no doubt

But where were their bodies

No matter how careful Kason had been, he had to dopose of them somehow

Jonathan had been investigating 

Dickson had been digging

But there was nothing

No trails. No records. Justnothing

Finished 

Chapter 226 Picking Up the Pieces 

Kason had to be hiding something, something worse

Enough for today.” 

Johnathan suddenly stood up

Before Sierra could react, he lifted her off the ground.. 

She blinked. What are you- 

Taking you to my place.” 

Mateo had just walked back into the room when he heard this

He raised an eyebrow

Then- 

He met Johnathan’s gaze.. 

And wisely chose not to comment

Instead, he flopped onto the couch, lazily turning to Dickson

Yo. Got any food?” 

Dickson hesitated

He didn’t know much about Mateo

But looking at the way he carried himself, it was obvious- 

This guy came from money

Dickson had dealt with that kind of person before.. 

And it had never been good

But now- 

Mateo was lying there like a starved dog, complaining like some underpaid intern

Just some regular food, Dickson said cautiously. You want some?” 

Mateo sat up. Hell yeah. Right now, I’d eat plain rice if you gave it to me.” 

He stretched his legs out dramatically

You don’t understand, man. Johnathan has been working me to death. No breaks. No food. Just constant labor. And the worst part? He’s a terrible boss. No benefits. No raises. No appreciation-” 

Dickson stared

Then, slowly- 

He relaxed

Maybe not all rich people were like the Xander family. Or like Kason. Or Shane. Maybe some were like Johnathan or even Mateo
