Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238

“That’s his asset. There’s no reason he should give it to me,” Sierra said.

She used John’s own words when Lucy asked about the house.

Lucy understood exactly what that meant. After she left Sierra’s place, she went straight to see John.

When he saw her there, he looked a little surprised. “Did you find anything?”

“No,” Lucy said decisively.

John waited.

Lucy dropped onto the couch like she owned the place, her demeanor casual. “I was online last night and saw some stuff about your divorce from Sierra. It made me sick. I’m not in the mood to keep digging.”

John didn’t say anything.

“I also heard you plan to have Sierra walk away with nothing,” she went on. “But you’re the one who cheated, right?”

“Cheated?” John finally spoke.

That was the biggest misunderstanding Sierra and everyone else had about him.

“Aren’t you with Pamela already? You even spent the night at Lakeside Villa.” What Lucy knew came from the internet, plus a little from Sierra and Kenneth.

John stayed calm. “Did I ever admit that?”

“Isn’t it basically settled?” she asked.

“What you saw is only what I wanted you to see,” John said. He didn’t bother explaining further. “I didn’t cheat.”

He had never slept with Pamela.

He had never even liked her.

Lucy clicked her tongue. “Ha! Men.”

John watched her, thinking about how strange she had been yesterday and how she had shown up today just to say this. An idea formed in his mind.

“You went to see Sierra this morning?”

“No” She slumped even deeper into the couch, as mellow as a person could be.

“You went to ask her about Anna,” John asked.

Even Lucy felt a brief flash of helplessness despite how calm she usually was Having a friend who was too sharp meant there was no such thing as privacy.

“Is Anna’s identity significant?” John asked in an unhurried tone

“Not exactly. I just went to Sierra’s place to see if her mom knows any hackers “The lie came easily to Lusy as she made something up. “The one who locked down Anna’s information is probably my mentor”

If she dragged her mentor into the open, her mentor would actually be safer Otherwise, with the way John’s brain ticked, it would be too easy for him to trace everything through her

“The one who taught you to hack when you were a kid?” John asked, remembering some details about it.

“Yeah,” Lucy said as she lazed on the couch, not even pretending to be proper anymore. “Cracking those old defenses wouldn’t be hard with my skills now, but it still feels wrong.”

John offered one suggestion. “Ask your mentor, then.”

“Ask my mentor?” Lucy raised an eyebrow.

John simply nodded.

“My mentor has retired for years,” Lucy said. She got up and went to pour herself a glass of water. “A long time ago, she told me she had something to handle. After that, she never reappeared again.”

John pressed his lips together, and the gears in his mind started to spin. His dark eyes were as dark as the abyss.
