Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 33

Holly pulled out her phone, wanting to transfer the money to Sierra. Her cards were frozen, but she still had some funds left on her shopping apps and digital wallets.

Sierra stopped her.

“The most important thing we need to do is use this money to save your mother’s life,” Holly said.

She didn’t care about anything else. If John was going to stop her, let him.

“It’s fine.” Sierra already had a plan in mind. “I’ve got a plan.”

Holly was immediately alerted. “What plan? Don’t tell me you’re going back to John? If that’s your plan, you might as well let him come after me instead!”

“Not him. John’s older brother Solomon.” Sierra was reminded by Holly’s earlier comment about enemies. “He won’t say no to purchasing something worth more than ten million for one million. Since John warned everyone not to buy it, his brother will only be more inclined to defy him.”

“But his brother isn’t exactly some harmless man.” Holly had not met him, but she had heard enough. “If you make a deal with him, John will only go even further, right?”

Everyone in that circle knew the Henderson brothers were never at odds with each other. Sierra’s idea was no different from jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.

But Sierra had no alternatives. She couldn’t let her friend suffer for helping her, and she could not turn a blind eye to her mother’s worsening condition.

That same night, she had someone pass a word to Solomon. It was a calculated gamble built on one possibility. The possibility that John’s possessive nature would never allow her to approach his brother, and he would never allow this ring to fall into his brother’s hands.

If she bet it right, her mother’s surgery would be settled.

If she bet it wrong, she could still sell the ring.

However, the message hadn’t even reached Solomon when John had already received word of it.

He was sitting in a lavish private bar, and after hearing his underling’s report, his eyes darkened like they had never before. Even his fingers around his glass slowly tightened.

“I told you not to force her like this,” Kenneth said as he listened from the and topped off his drink. “If she really chooses Solomon’s side, what are you going to do then?”

“She won’t have the guts to.” John’s voice was colder than ice.

“She won’t?” Kenneth said with an eyebrow raised before slowly saying, “Yet she still sent someone to contact him already.”

John’s dark eyes became even darker. He didn’t expect her to use this to threaten him.

“If you want to stop this, have someone buy the ring, immediately,” Kenneth advised. “If she reaches your brother first, it will be too late.”

“You go.” John gave the order without hesitation.

Kenneth stared at him blankly. “I just helped you trick her today. You sure she won’t simply run the moment she sees me?”

“Send someone pretending to be from Solomon,” John spoke with deliberate calm, his mind already fixed on making Sierra learn her lesson. “Lower the price to sixty thousand.”

“Are you serious?” Kenneth tested him.

John lifted his eyes, their depth unreadable. “Do I sound like I am joking?”

Kenneth fell silent for a moment, then accepted his fate, cursing under his breath as he stood up. “I must have owed you in

another life.”

“Wait.” John stopped him.
