Johnathan glanced at Draven without saying a word. Draven immediately backed up a few steps, afraid the man might suddenly lose it

Johnathan’s combat skills were no jokeDraven knew he’d be toast in a fight

Luckily, Sierra came out just then. Draven let out a deep breath of relief and slipped away as fast as he could

Watching him scurry off, Sierra asked, What did you do to him?” 

He’s been exploiting my girl. What, I can’t say a few words to him?Johnathan gave a faint smile

Sierra didn’t respond. She just got in the car

Neither of them said anything the whole ride home. Once they arrived, Johnathan didn’t get out right away. Instead, he said, Sierra, can we talk?” 

Okay.Sierra knew there was no avoiding it. She also knew this wasn’t something that could be brushed aside

You’ve been avoiding me lately. Is it because of what happened that day?” 

Johnathan didn’t beat around the bush

Yeah,Sierra admitted, nodding

You think I’m too coldblooded?” 

He looked at her and smiled faintly. But Sierra, this is who I am. I don’t have that kind of empathy. Calling me coldblooded isn’t wrong. I don’t want to lie to you. Even now, I don’t think what I did was wrong. Survival of the fittestthat’s just how the world works.” 

Sierra pressed her lips together. There wasn’t anything wrong with what he said. She was about to explain that this wasn’t really the root of their problem when Johnathan continued

You think I’m not the Johnathan you used to know? But I’ve been trying really hard to be the real me. Isn’t that what you wanted? I’ve always had flaws. When I was ten, all I knew how to do was lash out and get angry. Took a lot of hits before I learned to keep it in. Then I realized people preferred the weaker version of me. But with you, I don’t want to fake it. Sierra, just give me a little more time. You can’t expect a bandit to turn into a saint overnight. Justdon’t give up on me.” 

Otherwise, he wasn’t sure what he might do

His words shook Sierra. She wanted to say something, but didn’t know where to start

In the end, she just gave him a hug. Sometimes, a hug said more than anything else ever could

That put an end to the matterfor now. But Sierra didn’t forget. In fact, she started spending more and more time around Johnathan

She realized she hadn’t really known him that well before. What he showed the world was strength, invincibility, and emotional control. But deep down, he had something almost unhinged in him

Chapter 290 The Line Between Them 

In the end, Johnathan didn’t completely wipe them out. He left them with a way to survive

When Sierra heard about it, she felt a bit relieved, thinking maybe Johnathan had come around

But later, she learned the truth: it was all because of her

Your little tricks didn’t work. They’re still together. Sierra never left him,” Jose said bitterly

They’d been scheming nonstop, trying to show Sierra that Johnathan wasn’t the man she thought he was

But it didn’t seem to matter to her

That was just an appetizer,Shane said calmly. The real show’s still coming. If once doesn’t work, then twice, three timesSooner or later, something will.” 

If they broke up too easily, he wouldn’t even be interested

Right now, Sierra could still tolerate things because Johnathan hadn’t crossed her moral line. But what would she do the day he finally did? Would she still accept him then

Jose frowned. You seem so sure of yourself. I hope your plan actually works.” 

Of course it will.” 

Shane raised his glass, hiding the mockery in his eyes. Compared to Johnathan, Jose was still greentoo impatient, and not nearly strong enough to back it up

Everyone said the Wynn family’s two grandsons were both outstanding, but in Shane’s eyes, only Johnathan was a real rival. Jose was just someone who’d been handed a pedestal

Sierra had no idea that people were plotting against her behind the scenes. After she and Johnathan had their talk, she felt a lot better. Plus, she got some good news from Dickson

He was doing incredibly well at school and had even been recognized for his talentsespecially in network systems. One school was already considering admitting him early

When he came home for the weekend, he told her the good news

Hey, can I steal you for a day tomorrow? My homeroom teacher wants to talk to a parent,” Dickson said sheepishly. He knew how busy Sierra was. He’d wanted to handle it on his own, but the teacher insisted on speaking with family

Of course that’s not a problem. I’ll take the day off tomorrow,Sierra said without hesitation. This is something to be proud of. Don’t feel bad about it.”
