The lost heiress never forgiven

Chapter 534 Web of Lies

Jonathan didn’t respond. He quietly finished the meal Stone brought him before finally asking, “How Sierra?”

“I saw her a few days ago. She’s staying calm,” Stone replied. Then, looking at him, he added, “I’m stuck in here with you now. You better remember to make it worth my while.”

Jonathan gave him a kick. The two exchanged a smile but said nothing more.

Back outside, Mateo and Draven had stopped by to see Sierra. When they heard that Stone was now taking care of Jonathan, they felt much more at case.

Still, this couldn’t drag on. They had to pick up the pace. The root of it all was Victor.

“Sierra, is there anything we can do?” Mateo asked.

“Just telling me this is already more than enough.”

Jonathan hadn’t involved Mateo and the others in this ordeal, and Sierra understood exactly what that meant. He didn’t want them dragged into it in case things went south.

So, she wouldn’t pull them in either.

Mateo and Draven had figured that much out. The current situation made everything clear.

If this were just a power struggle with Victor, things wouldn’t be this extreme. This time, they wanted Jonathan dead.
