Chapter 277

“I don’t think this is illegal at all. Right, Boss?” Lance asked with complete sincerity.

John didn’t dignify that question with a response. He shut the topic down with a single line instead.

“Take him to the police station. Check his background while you’re at it. Anyone willing to take a job like this has definitely done it before.”

“Understood.” Lance and Forde nodded and went to carry out the order.

“I can’t go to the police station!” The truck driver panicked. “I made a mistake! I’ll apologize to Ms. Bell right now! I promise I’ll never do anything like this again!”

John didn’t even look at the truck driver. He stood up and walked past the man with cold indifference.

If he hadn’t happened to call Sierra, something would probably have happened today. He could not bear that kind of consequence, and he could not accept it.

The truck driver shouted after him. “Mr. Henderson!”

“Stop yelling.” Forde and Lance dragged him toward the door. “Once he decides something, you won’t be able to change anything, no matter how loud you scream. Go to the station and confess. You might get a couple of years taken off.”

The driver wanted to argue, but when he thought about what John could dig up, he knew the things he had done before wouldn’t stay buried for long.

A wave of fear washed over him all at once.

John got into the car and told the driver, “Back to Campanile Estate.”

“You’re not going after Lucas?” Lucy, called over on short notice and sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head to look at him. She reported to him Lucas’s movements as well. “He’s heading to the airport. He’s probably trying to run.”

John took out his phone and called Kenneth. “Don’t let Lucas get on the plane.”

“No problem,” Kenneth answered.

Lucy rested her chin on her hand. “If you’re not going after him, why did you call me over?”

“Just in case.” John sounded perfectly serious. His words would annoy anyone. “If you’re with me, I can get updates right away. If you’re not, I might not be able to reach you.”

He really did understand her.

For once, Lucy did not talk back.

”

“Keep an eye on Lucas for now.” John’s mouth opened slightly. “If he goes to the Henderson family’s family residence, warn me.

“Alright.” Lucy agreed without hesitation.

John hummed in agreement and fell silent.

He unlocked his phone, his long, elegant fingers tapping across the screen as he sent Robin a message. (What is she doing?]

Robin glanced at the two women and quickly replied to him. [They’re playing with Mr. Tommy in the courtyard }

[Okay. Have the butler bring some of the snacks Sierra liked.]

Robin looked at the butler, who was already on his way with a tray. [He’s doing it right now.)

John did not respond again. He felt a little better when he heard they were treating her well on their own, even without his input.

“Ms. Bell, these are the pastries and fruits you like.” Grant spoke to her with genuine warmth. He had watched them all grow up over the years. “See if they still suit your taste.”

“Thank you, Mr. Rogers.” Sierra gave a small nod.

“You’re welcome.” Grant did not disturb them further. “If you need anything, call me anytime.”

Grant left after Sierra nodded in acknowledgement, giving the three of them space.

Watching how everyone at Campanile Estate treated her just as they always had, Holly couldn’t help but ask, “Sierra, what are you planning to do about your relationship?”

People always said best friends couldn’t stand each other’s partners. Before everything with Pamela, Holly had genuinely thought John could be the perfect husband for her best friend.

“I’ll find some time to sit down and talk with him properly.” Sierra’s emotions had already settled. What happened today made her feel a little less distant from him. “He’s still someone who can be reasoned with.”

“And if he still won’t…?” Holly glanced at Tommy, who was completely absorbed in his building blocks, and a rush of complicated feelings rose in her chest.

Sierra fell silent.

If John really refused to set her free, she honestly had no idea what she was supposed to do.
