Chapter 316 Unwelcome Encounters

Sierra hadn’t expected Autumn to react that way. She couldn’t help asking, “You’re not mad at him?”

After all, when Johnathan’s identity was exposed, plenty of people online had lashed out, accusing him of causing job losses and financial ruin.

Sierra knew Autumn’s parents had been among those affected–yet here Autumn was, so calm, even a little admiring. It caught her off guard.

Autumn shook her head. “What’s there to be mad about? Sure, I was annoyed at first, but that’s normal. It’s not like we control the market. Instead of whining, we might as well just work harder. Besides, it’s not like he was targeting my family specifically.”

Sierra felt the tightness in her chest ease.

She’d been worried for so long that Autumn and the others would think less of Johnathan once they learned the truth. But in the end, they hadn’t disappointed her.

“But still… why would someone like him go after the Zach family?” Autumn asked, clearly curious.

She didn’t understand the full picture, but from what she’d heard at home, it had definitely been an act of revenge.

Honestly, after finding out it was Johnathan behind everything, she had a hard time believing it. Every time she’d met him, he’d come across as polite and kind.

“Some personal reasons,” Sierra replied.

Since it involved Johnathan’s private matters, she didn’t go into detail—and Autumn didn’t pry. “Well, whatever the reason, the guy obviously treats you really well. So if something’s bothering you, ask him. Don’t let stuff fester into a misunderstanding.”
