The lost heiress never forgiven

Chapter 483 Two Hands, One Strategy

“We need to prepare for both possibilities. We can’t afford to let our guard down on either front.”

Sierra nodded quickly. “Especially you. You need to take more people with you.”

She was fine at the university – she had her own lab.

“Your project hasn’t officially started yet,” Johnathan said. “The main house has everything – top–of–the- line equipment and labs. Move your experiment there.”

He made the decision immediately.

Sierra didn’t mind. She could run her experiment anywhere. What worried her was how to explain it to White.

“What should we tell White? Won’t that tip him off?”

“You can say the Wynn family has run into some trouble, and for safety reasons, I want you working from home. The main house doesn’t allow outsiders in and out freely, so the two of you will have to switch to remote communication.”

Johnathan had already thought through his phrasing.

Sierra agreed that it sounded reasonable. She couldn’t help but remark, “If White really is behind this, he’s probably regretting it now.”

“I’m not taking any chances.”

As Johnathan spoke, he gripped Sierra’s hand tightly.

Sierra looked back at him. “Same to you. Please, take care of yourself.”

She had nearly lost Johnathan once. No one understood that feeling better than she did.

Because of that, she fully supported all of Johnathan’s decisions.

The next day, Sierra called White and told him she wouldn’t be working at the university lab for the foreseeable future.

As expected, White was stunned.
