Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 163

Sierra went quiet for a while after Jubilee threatened her. Jubilee was still the same woman she knew. “Alright, alright, I get it. Casual tone it is.”

“That’s more like it.” Only after the serious part did Jubilee switch to small talk. As she dragged her suitcase out of the airport, she slowly said, “Your mom has little interest in the money from Bell Group.”

Sierra was completely perplexed, even wondering if Jubilee was having delusions. “Are you feeling alright?”

“Get lost.” Jubilee could be indulgent one second and cutting the next. “Anna never told you?”

Sierra was thoroughly confused. “I really have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Unbelievable.” Jubilee was blunt. “Give me half an hour. I’ll explain it to you properly once I find a place quiet enough.”

Sierra was sure Jubilee was doing it on purpose. Jubilee was definitely getting back at her for using the formal tone on her just now.

Half an hour later, Jubilee checked into a luxury hotel.

After putting down her luggage, she walked over to the floor–to–ceiling window and started a video call. The moment Sierra picked it up, Jubilee skipped any small talk and went straight back to what they had not finished.

“You mean you didn’t know your mother has savings?”

“Not that I remember.” Si rra shook her head.

“She does.” Jubilee sounded absolutely certain, and the next part even held a hint of annoyance. “She’s so broke that all she has left is cash.”

Sierra stared at the screen, feeling like Jubilee was just messing with her.

“What’s with that face?” Jubilee watched her through the camera, a raised eyebrow on her seductive face.

“I don’t even know what to say,” Sierra said, clearly not believing a word.

Jubilee opened her mouth, wanting to tell her something concrete, but then she remembered Anna had cut herself off from the past completely. In the end, everything she wanted to say turned into one line.

“All of that is her own personal assets. At the very least, it’s in the tens of billions. If it’s more than that, I don’t know.”

Sierra said nothing.

“Before your mother married Lucas, they signed a prenup. Their finances were never mixed. As for the money Lucas spent on you, that was his payment to her for helping him create Bell Group,” Jubilee went on.

The more Sierra listened to Jubilee, the less real it all sounded. She slumped and said, “I swear I’ll never be formal with you again. Just stop joking around with me.”

Her mom was capable and strong.

But to say Anna was sitting on billions of dollars…

Sierra had never dared imagine anything that outrageous, not even in her dreams.

“You don’t believe me?” Jubilee hadn’t expected that even after laying it out like this, Sierra still refused to accept it.

Sierra sat down on a chair in the garden. “That’s even harder to believe than me saying I’m not their kid.”

Jubilee fell silent.

Sierra was, in fact, not Lucas’s biological child.

“If you get a chance, check her bank account,” Jubilee finally said, changing tactics. “The password is either your birthday or hers. Look at the balance, and you’ll see.”

Sierra could tell now that she was not joking. “You’re serious?”

“Of course,” Jubilee said.

Sierra then went straight to the key point. “Then where did all that money come from?”

Jubilee said, “She earned it.”

“How did she earn it?” Sierra asked.

Jubilee froze.

If she explained that, she would have to drag out all the things from the past. Anna had warned her not to let Sierra know about those days and people from the olden times. She didn’t want Sierra anywhere near them.

But if she refused to say any hing, Sierra obviously wouldn’t believe her.

“I don’t know,” Jubilee finally answered after a brief silence. “I was busy flirting with handsome guys all over the world back then, and I had no time to worry about her little side business.”
