Chapter 385 The Enemy of My Enemy 

+8 Pearls 

From the moment Jose could remember, he’d been taught to respect his older brother, to always put Johnathan first

And for a long time, he truly believed it. Even when Johnathan never gave him so much as a passing glance, Jose still looked up to him

But not anymorenot since last time

Johnathan never saw them as family. So why did Jose have to keep stepping aside

He didn’t feel like he owed Johnathan anything. If his mother couldn’t keep her man, that was her own failure. Why did she get to blame everything on them

His mom was crazy too. All those years of giving inand she was still giving

Now, just for Johnathan’s sake, she was actually willing to send him away

Sometimes, Jose seriously wanted to ask her: Who’s your real son

He drove to the bar he’d been frequenting lately. He had his own private room there. But without Shanewho had since been exiledit was just him now

Drinking alone was boring, so Jose sat out in the lounge

He was striking and sharply dressed. The moment he sat down, peoplemen and women alikestarted approaching. He waved them all off, uninterested

He drank and silently mulled over how to deal with Johnathan

He’d thought Quinn might destroy Johnathan and Sierra’s relationshipmake his perfect brother feel pain for once

But clearly, he’d overestimated her. She’d barely lasted before screwing up

If even Quinn wasn’t good enoughwho was

As his frustration simmered, someone slid into the seat beside him

Need help?the stranger asked

Jose didn’t even lift his head. Get lost.” 

I can help you get what you want. Want to try?the man coaxed

Jose didn’t even bother repeating himself. He just scowled and prepared to leave

That’s when the man said, Having a brother that perfect must be tough.” 

Jose froze, his eyes narrowing sharply

Who are you?” 

His and Johnathan’s identities were closely guarded. No ordinary person should even know who they werelet alone that they were brothers

Jose studied the man. Average looks. Completely unfamiliar. Which only made him more wary

Noticing the suspicion in Jose’s eyes, the man gave a small smile

No need to be so guarded. In this case, we share the same enemy,” 

You want to bring Johnathan down? So do I.”

Jose sneered. You want to team up? What makes you think you’re worth it?” 

The man leaned in and whispered a few words

Jose’s expression changed

After a moment of silence, he asked, What do you want me to do?” 

Help me get Quinn out.” 

Jose’s eyes narrowed. You get her out, and you think you can take Johnathan down?” 

I won’t say it’s a sure thingbut we’ve got a fiftyfifty shot.” 

And you know what Quinn’s capable of. With her on our side, the odds go way up.” 

Jose studied him, eyes cold, calculating

Finally, he said, I can’t promise anything. I’ll try.” 

Good enough,” the man replied with a smile

Jose left quickly

In the days that followed, Johnathan was tied up with work. He hadn’t had time to dwell on personal mattersthough, truthfully, he still hadn’t made up his mind about them anyway

That was when he suddenly got a call from Stone

What? Quinn escaped?” 

Yes,Stone said

It was too sensitive to discuss over the phone, so he came to Johnathan’s office in person

Quinn had a sudden flareup of her blood condition. The detention center couldn’t handle it, so they transferred her to a hospital.” 

She escaped from the hospital,Stone explained

What about the surveillance footage?Johnathan asked

Stone had already come prepared. He pulled up the video

A doctor led a nurse into Quinn’s room. When they came out, the doctor was still therebut the nurse wasn’t the same

Johnathan instantly recognized the second nurseit was Quinn

It was such a simple swap. Almost laughably so

Have you investigated?Johnathan asked
