Chapter 334 Family and Fire
“Sorry. My head’s been a mess these past couple of days.”
Sierra didn’t bring up anything about Shane Johnathan already had enough on his plate–dragging Shane into it would only make things worse.
She knew Johnathan wasn’t afraid of Shane in the slightest, but that man was a lunatic. Once a lunatic latches onto you, it’s hard to walk away unscathed.
Johnathan didn’t say whether he believed her or not. He just looked at her deeply for a long moment before pulling her into a gentle kiss on the forehead and letting her go.
“Sierra, you can ask me anything.”
Johnathan wasn’t blind. He had a good idea of what might’ve happened. But since Sierra wasn’t bringing it up, he didn’t press. He was used to being in control of everything, but Sierra was different–he’d give her respect.
Sierra’s heart clenched. She hesitated, but still didn’t bring up Shane. All she said was, “I just don’t want you to go down the wrong path.”
“Heh.” Johnathan chuckled, pinching her cheek. “Then keep an eye on me.”
They lingered together for a while before Sierra finally left.
As soon as she got out of the car, the calm in Johnathan’s eyes vanished. He’d been so busy lately that he hadn’t noticed what had been going on around Sierra.
He considered it for a moment, but in the end, he didn’t have anyone investigate Sierra. Instead, he told his people to look into Shane and anyone else who might’ve been stirring trouble
The report came back quickly. Shane had publicly provoked Sierra at a mall and ended up getting a bucket of water dumped
on him.
That part made Johnathan smirk. But when he remembered that even with a limp, Shane was still causing trouble, his expression turned cold
He’d already given Shane a chance. Even with a bad leg, the man still couldn’t behave.
Johnathan’s eyes narrowed. He’d made up his mind.
Not long after, word spread through high society–Johnathan Wynn, the future patriarch of the Wynn family, was openly targeting the Goodman family.
Wayne was the first to hear about it. He immediately called Johnathan back. “What do you think you’re doing!”
Wayne frowned deeply at his most beloved grandson.
He could understand going after the Zach family, but what was the reason for going after the Goodmans?
And the Goodman family was nothing like the Zachs.
Jade’s influence had grown significantly, and even he had to show her some respect. So why on earth was this punk going.
after them?
“Shane can’t stay in Capital City”
Johnathan didn’t hide his intention. He’d never been targeting the Goodman family–it was always Shane.
Wayne’s intelligence network was far superior to the average person’s. The moment he heard Shane’s name, he knew exactly

Finished
At one point, he thought it was a good thing that someone could keep his grandson in check. But now? Now he realized that caring too much about one person could be dangerous.
His normally rational grandson was starting to look like a king who’d been bewitched by some temptress.
He was beginning to question whether Johnathan was really the right person to inherit the Wynn family.
The head of the Wynn family could be cold, even ruthless–but not lovesick..
“Johnathan, don’t forget–you’re not alone. You represent the whole family.” Wayne said tiredly.
Johnathan lifted his gaze lazily. “I haven’t used the Wynn family’s nameTM
He’d acted under his own name. He hadn’t pulled any of the Wynn family’s strings,
In fact, since returning, he’d never relied on the family’s power. The only exception had been when Wayne had people help get Sierra out–that was a favor he hadn’t forgotten, and the reason he came back when summoned.
-What are you saying?” Wayne snapped. “Do you even hear yourself?”
Recently, Johnathan had started taking over some of the Wynn family’s businesses. Wayne had thought things were finally smoothing out. But this brat–he was still the same as ever.
“Grandpa, you know I’ve never cared about this last name.”
If Wayne hadn’t dragged him back, he never would’ve returned to the Wynn family.
He didn’t care about the patriarch position. He didn’t want it–but he sure as hell wasn’t about to give it to Jose, either. That was Johnathan. That was his way.
Staring at Wayne’s livid face, Johnathan eventually relented a bit.
“I’ll take care of things with the Goodmans. It won’t damage the relationship between our families. You don’t have to worry.”
With that, he stood. “It’s getting late, Grandpa, I’ll head out”
“Wait Send Quinn to the Wynn estate,” Wayne said suddenly.
