Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 482

Chapter 482

After all, it was clear in the agreement that once Sierra got involved with the King family, Anna could no longer interfere. Otherwise, the agreement would be void.

“I know.” Sierra had already figured that out. “But I still want to give it a go.”

From the moment she learned her mother had been forced to give up the shares, Sierra knew Charlie was not someone to underestimate. On top of that, he and his two sons had joined forces to hurt her mother.

Because of that, she understood that as long as she was still alive, an accident could happen at any time. If that was the case, she might as well go all in.

Sierra would drag everything into the light. She would face everything head–on, no matter what they were planning. Not to mention, those shares had belonged to her mother in the first place.

“Alright. Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t say anything else.” Seeing how serious she was, Anna stopped trying to persuade Sierra. “From now on, take Marcus with you whenever you go out. Make sure he stays close to you.”

“Alright,” Sierra agreed.

After that conversation, Sierra studied even harder.

When Anna saw that the light in the study was still on when it was one past midnight, a rare conflux of emotions surged in her heart.

Back then, should she have let Sierra study management and finance after all?

The thought had barely surfaced before she dismissed it.

She had made the best choice she could. If she had let Sierra go down that path back then, there was no telling how many dangers would have come for her over the years, both in the light and from the shadows.

Charlie had never played fair.

A single grant deed was enough to make him try to kill her.

If Sierra had either secretly studied those subjects or openly majored in them in university, he would have done everything he could to destroy her.

The truth turned out almost exactly as Anna had expected.

Ever since Sierra attended the party and shut herself away at home, Charlie had been deeply uneasy. Thus, called Maxwell into his study.

Looking at Maxwell standing before him, a son far more capable than he ever was, Charlie’s expression was grim. “What do you plan to do about Sierra?”

“According to the family rules, her ability should be tested before she inherits the shares.” Maxwell looked indifferent, his voice cold. “Give her a company that’s on the verge of bankruptcy and see whether she can turn it around.”

Charlie frowned. “That simple?”

“For someone raised in the King family, it’s quite simple. But for someone who has never studied any of this, it’s anything but easy.” Maxwell’s tone was calm. “She has always lived under Anna and John’s protection. She knows nothing.”

“Who knows whether Anna taught her in secret.” Charlie’s expression darkened.

Maxwell cut through his lies. “Haven’t you already tested her?”

Charlie’s brows furrowed deeply.

For more than twenty years, he had tested Sierra in secret many times. Other than outstanding grades in her academics and training in other classical skills such as music, chess, penmanship, and painting, she had never shown any sign of involvement in anything related to business and finance.

Otherwise, he never would have let her live this long.

Thinking of that, he still regretted the decision he had made back then.

“If you hadn’t stopped me back then, we wouldn’t have this headache now.” Charlie blamed Maxwell outright.
