Chapter 484 The Trap That Bit Back
Johnathan was also trying to figure it out – what was White relying on?
Suddenly, a thought struck him. He sat up straight.

“Drugs. I think he was planning to use something on you – maybe to control you, or get you
addicted.”
Sierra’s eyes widened. Of course. How could she have forgotten that?
If White really was the leader of that organization, then it was no surprise he had access to a wide range of drugs.
They’d already seen so many strange substances. Who knew how many more were out there?
“Sierra, you have to be careful from now on,” Johnathan said, his tone grim.
“From now on, no matter who gives you food or drink – be careful. I’ll tell the butler first thing in the morning.”
He wasn’t too worried about the estate Still, it didn’t hurt to reinforce the rules.
—
most of the servants had worked there for years and were loyal.
“I know. You be careful too,” Sierra said, resting against his chest. “You’re the bigger target.”
Which made him easier to hit.
The next morning, Johnathan summoned the butler to his study and gave specific instructions to monitor every item of food, drink, clothing, and supplies that entered the estate.
“We can’t let anyone exploit a loophole.”
He added, “And give the staff a stern reminder
“Understood, Mr. Simon.”
The butler had served Mr. Wayne before and was no stranger to these protocols.
Thanks to Johnathan’s tight control, more than half a month passed, and White hadn’t found a single opening. It drove him up the wall.
His handsome face was twisted with fury, grotesque and frightening.
If Sierra, Autumn, or any of the others saw him now, they’d be horrified by how terrifying he looked.
Knowing his temper, and fearing he might do something reckless, his friend quickly tried to calm him down.
“We’ve waited this long. What’s a few more days? Even the tightest defenses have flaws. We just need to be patient and wait for a gap.”
“And when will that be?” White snapped.

If he didn’t know the chip was ready, maybe he’d still have some patience. But now that it was complete now that he knew what it could do how could he keep waiting?
“What if we send Shane?”
The friend suggested carefully.
“Shane?”
White thought it over, then shook his head.
“He’s not the right person. Sierra doesn’t trust him. If he makes a move and fails, it’ll only tip them off
“Then who?”
The friend asked.
White suddenly had an idea. He looked at him and said, “Have your brother hold a press conference. Invite Sierra to attend.”
The man’s face fell. “If something happens to Sierra at the press conference, Johnathan will never let my brother off the hook.”
“Oh, how touching. What a loyal little brother. Too bad Greg doesn’t think much of you,” White said mockingly.
His so–called friend was Nate
–
Greg’s younger half–brother.
“I said no. You told me you wouldn’t involve my brother in this.”
Nate shook his head firmly. Greg might scold him constantly, but Nate wasn’t an ingrate. He knew Greg did it for his own good.
White’s face darkened. He didn’t respond, but his expression turned stormy.
Nate could only add, “Even if my brother does hold a press conference, with how tightly Johnathan is guarding Sierra, there’s no way he’ll let her attend.”
“The real issue right now is that Johnathan thinks Sierra’s in danger.”
“So what if he’s convinced that danger’s passed?”
“Right now, he believes the threat comes from his two uncles and outside pressure.”
“But what if all of that disappears?”
“Then he won’t feel the need to keep Sierra locked away.”
“That means,” Nate concluded, “we need to address the source.”
White laughed bitter, incredulous.

“So what you’re saying is, I created this entire mess myself?”

“I’m the one sabotaging my own plan?”
“No, that’s not what I-
Before Nate could finish, White hung up.
Nate was panicking. He knew White’s temper. If he didn’t find a solution soon, not only he, but even Greg would get dragged into it.
What should he do?
Nate pressed his lips together, thinking hard.
Meanwhile, even though White had hung up, he was still mulling over Nate’s words.
He wasn’t wrong – Johnathan would only let his guard down once he believed things were safe again. Only then would Sierra be allowed out. Only then would White have a real chance.
But the idea of having to fix the very mess he created made White furious.
In the end, though, he still caved.
And since he was fuming about it, his “friend” had to pay the price.
He couldn’t lash out at Johnathan. Nate wasn’t around.
So Greg became his next target.
