Chapter 261 No More Lies 

Johnathan didn’t give Sierra an answer the whole way home

It wasn’t that he couldn’t have just said something to brush her off. But when it came to Sierra, he didn’t want to lienot even a little

It wasn’t until they got out of the car that he finally spoke

I can’t answer you yet. Give me a little more time.” 

Sierra didn’t feel disappointed at all. In fact, she smiled, genuinely happy

Okay!” 

She’d much rather hear that than be lied to

And with that, the distance between them seemed to shrink againbit by bit

While the two of them were caught up in their moment, Shane had already gotten the information he wanted on the owner of the car

Johnathan. I knew it.” 

He hadn’t been sure at the timehe’d just had a gut feeling. And he still hadn’t figured out who exactly Johnathan was. That in itself wasstrange

In Albanos, the number of people he couldn’t investigate could be counted on one hand. He just didn’t know yet which hand Johnathan belonged to

He also learned that Sierra was now attending North Salem University

Still as clueless as ever.” 

His voice was cold, his expression full of disdain

She’d said she didn’t want to move. But now, for Johnathan, she changed her mind. How many times had she learned the hard way, and she still hadn’t caught on? Could someone like Johnathan really be trusted with her future

He was about to do something about it when Jade called him into the study

*I just heard something. The Wynn family is about to announce their new family head.” 

Jade had barely gotten the news and was already planning ahead

I’ll find a way to get us an invitation. You’re going with me.” 

Not interested.” 

Shane shot it down without hesitation. Ask someone else.” 

Jade’s face darkened. How long are you going to keep this up?” 

I haven’t even brought up what happened in Maviston yet.” 

What exactly do you mean?” 

Shane’s voice turned mocking. The Richardson family really is loyal to you. Took the fall for everything without saying a word 

You little bastard! What nonsense are you spewing? What does the Richardson family’s business have to do with me?” 

Jade slammed the desk with his hand

Don’t forgetyou’re still a Gong. People show you respect for a reason. I just don’t get it. Even if the Goodman family falls, what good does it do you? What a joke. People really do need some sort of entertainment in life, huh?”

tone

Finished 

Enough. Stop messing around.” 

What happened in Maviston was already difficult enough to cover up. It didn’t blow back on you because I took care of it. Don’t start stirring things up again.” 

Hah 

Shane let out a short laugh, like he’d heard the dumbest thing ever

Who’s the one messing around here, really

That whole mess in Maviston had caused such a stir, and in the end, it was brushed aside with a slap on the wrist for a few small players. They both knew who had pulled those strings

Jade didn’t want to argue anymore. He turned back to analyzing the current situation

I’ve moved up again recently, but let’s be honestI still don’t have a real foundation. It’s like walking on a tightrope. The Wynn family, you know what kind of weight they carry. Centuries of legacy. We can’t even begin to compare. If we could get their support, it would change everything for the Goodman family. I’m getting old, Shane. One day, this family will be yours. You need to grow up.” 

I said I’m not interested.” 

Shane stood up lazily

Uncle, I’m just your nephew. Don’t put all your hopes on me.” 

Why don’t you hurry up and have a kid yourself?” 

He dropped the words without the slightest care, completely ignoring the ugly look on Jade’s face as he strolled out

Ungrateful brat!” 

Jade wanted to put a bullet through himbut all he could do was think about it

He’d been injured years ago. He could never have children again

If not for that, he wouldn’t have wasted so much effort on Shane

That kid’s personality… 

Knowing brute force wouldn’t work, Jade pulled out a stack of reportsevery record of what Shane had done in Maviston during those three years

Eventually, his gaze landed on one name in particular

Sierra

Others might not notice anything. But he knew Shane too well

It looked like Shane was tormenting her. But in reality, he was protecting her

If not for Shane, Sierra would’ve died in prison a long time ago
