Chapter 110
Now that Holly was back, Sierra’s tense heart finally loosened a little. After taking Tommy to his martial arts class with them, Sierra went to the Lane residence.
However, she hadn’t expected to see John there.
When she arrived, John and Eagon were sitting in the living room facing each other. One was stern and silent, the other relaxed and casual. The atmosphere didn’t look good at all.
Sensing her arrival, Eagon glanced toward the door. When he saw her, he stood up to greet her. “You’re here, Ms. Bell. Eden is in the dance studio. Just go straight in.”
“Alright.” Sierra gave a small nod and headed directly for the studio.
She didn’t look at John.
She refused to.
“You wouldn’t be here this early just to have tea with me,” Eagon said unhurriedly as he drew his attention back from Sierra.
“Besides having tea with you,” John said as he sat with his legs crossed on the sofa, completely at ease, “I also wanted to see how good Eden’s dance teacher really is.”
Eagon was silent for a moment. Then, he unmasked John without hesitation. “You don’t know how good your wife is at dancing?

John didn’t answer. He stood up and walked in the direction Sierra had gone.
Sierra felt a little unsettled now.
In the dance studio, she first talked with Eden about what they would be learning that day. She was just about to start teaching when she saw John outside the glass door. He was in no rush; his eyes, which were impossible to read, were looking at her.

“Mr. Henderson, Ms. Bell is asking you to leave,” Eagon said, clear amusement in his eyes.
John gave him a side–eye. “Do you think that’s funny?”
“Did I smile?” Eagon replied.
“I guess you don’t want any information about Ms. Quinn,” John said, taking his eyes off Sierra and walking away at a slow, unhurried pace.
Eagon’s smile froze as emotion flashed in his eyes. “What do you mean by that?”
John sat down on the sofa again. “Exactly what I said.”
“You know where she is?” Eagon asked.
“Whether I know depends on whether you want to know,” John replied calmly, glancing once toward the dance studio.
Eagon fell silent.
He and Solomon were on the same side. If this news disrupted Solomon’s plans, it would be difficult to avoid friction between them later.

Eagon frowned at him.
John lifted his eyelids slightly and said slowly, “Don’t worry. No one can find her but me. Not even Solomon can help.”
“What do you want?” Eagon asked, still wavering.
John stated his goal directly. “Fire Sierra.”
