Hearing her son say that again, Susic frowned. “Why are you talking like this again? Are you still holding something against your brother?”
…Of course not. I just think you care about him too much,” Jose said, half–joking.
“Even if we really do owe him, Mom, you care so much about him sometimes it feels like he’s your real
son.”
“Enough. What nonsense are you saying now?”
Susie’s face turned even more unpleasant.
Jose pressed on while the iron was hot. “Mom, you always say we owe him. Owe him what, exactly? Just because I got sick back then, and Dad took me to the hospital, and his mom happened to jump off the building? That was an accident. No one wanted that to happen.”
Susie didn’t know why her son was suddenly so fixated on the past. Seeing how persistent he was, she finally said, “Of course it wasn’t just that. I’ve told you–Wendy saved my life. If it weren’t for her, I’d be dead.”
“Then why did you steal her husband?”
Jose asked the kind of question that cuts deep.
Susie didn’t know how to answer. She only mumbled, “You don’t understand.”
Just then, Chase came out, and Susie quickly called him over so they could leave.
If earlier Jose only wanted to help because Johnathan had asked him, then now, he genuinely wanted to know what had happened all those years ago.
Johnathan was right. They really had kept a lot from him. But what, exactly?

While the Wynn family was busy discussing Johnathan and Sierra’s wedding, other families were talking about the Wynns themselves.
“Classic Johnathan,” Jade sighed. “He tricked everyone.”
At the time, he had really believed something had happened to Johnathan. He’d even started plotting. After all, the Wynn family was a huge pie–everyone wanted a slice. He was no exception.
Still, he had at least kept a sliver of caution and didn’t make a move, since Wayne was still around.
And thank god for that hesitation, Otherwise, he’d be one of the people losing sleep right now.
Thinking that, he looked over at Shane. “Since Johnathan’s still alive, you should probably go back.”
“Hah.”
Shane gave a strange laugh. “I’m not going back. I’m staying in the Capital City.”

“Don’t be ridiculous.”
Jade frowned.
Shane couldn’t be bothered to explain. He just said, “Johnathan won’t stop me.”
After all, this was part of the deal between him and Johnathan.

Sierra didn’t even know Johnathan and Shane had a partnership. So when Shane called, Johnathan instinctively stepped away from her.
“Talk,” he said flatly.
Shane gave a short snort. “Knew it. Someone like you is a curse that lasts forever. I figured you wouldn’t die so easily.”
“Cut the crap.”
Johnathan’s voice was cold. “I know what you’re trying to say. You can come back. Just stay in your lane.”
He was about to hang up when Shane said:
“You really believe the leader of that group was actually caught?”
Johnathan didn’t answer. But the way his breathing changed made his stance clear.
Shane let out a soft chuckle. “What a coincidence. I don’t believe it either. I’m going to keep digging. Let’s see who finds them first.”
Just as he finished his sentence, Johnathan hung up.
Shane tugged at the corner of his lips and glanced at a message on his phone. It was unclear what he was thinking.
On the other end, Johnathan stood in silence after the call. He didn’t think this was the end of it.
That group’s leader died way too easily.
Even though Quinn and that other guy’s reactions confirmed the one who died really was the ringleader, Johnathan couldn’t believe someone like that would die so conveniently–cutting off his own escape route
like that.
Either he was just a puppet, or the person who died wasn’t really him..
If it was the first, that was manageable. But if it was the second… then things were serious.
Hardly anyone had known about that day’s operation. If the person who died was a fake, they must’ve gotten advance warning.
How did the information leak?
A few faces flashed through Johnathan’s mind. He pressed his lips together.
“What are you thinking about?”

Sierra had been watching him drift off ever since the call ended and couldn’t help asking.
“I was thinking about how we should do our wedding.”
Johnathan looked at her. He really had been thinking about that too.

He was torn. On one hand, he wanted to give Sierra a grand ceremony. On the other, he just wanted it to be the two of them. They didn’t need anyone else to witness it.
