Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 502

Chapter 502

Peter immediately lost his temper when he heard Sierra’s words. “Don’t think I can’t do anything to you just because Anna is protecting you!”

“Go ahead and lay a hand on her, then!” Cyrus walked over, his face stern with anger. “If anything happens to her here, I’ll make you suffer instead!”

Peter opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not dare talk back.

Cyrus stopped in front of Sierra. “Did he scare you?”

Sierra had no intention of making things spiral out of control, so she nodded. “I’m alright.”

“Come here and apologize to Sierra.” Cyrus stared at his second son, his expression stern. “You’re her elder, yet you have no manners at all. Is that how I raised you?”

Peter frowned. “Dad, aren’t you taking this favoritism a little too far?”

Cyrus’s face darkened. “Do you have the nerve to talk to me about favoritism?”

His sons and everyone else had pressured him into forcing Anna to hand over her shares to the two brothers back then. His two sons had no right to accuse him of playing favorites.

“Apologize now. Don’t force me to use family discipline on you,” Cyrus growled at Peter.

“I’m sorry.” Peter’s attitude was still lazy and unserious. “I was just joking around. Don’t take it too seriously.”

Sierra did not bother responding.

The moment he knowingly asked whether her mother was dead, despite knowing Anna had already returned to Harbor City, Sierra had started disliking him.

“Since Uncle Peter has apologized, we’ll leave it at that.” Maxwell stepped forward to smooth things over. “We’re family. Just watch your words from now on and start any ruckus.”

“I’ll listen to my dear nephew, of course.” Peter began to scan Sierra again. “I just wonder whether you’ll still be able to say that so calmly once you find out why she came to the King family.”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Maxwell asked.

Peter opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.

The people on his older brother’s side had always been good at acting. Anyway, he didn’t have that many shares. If they were bought back, he’d still be in much better shape than them. If they were not worried, why should he be?

“Let it go this time. If anyone causes trouble again, don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Cyrus’s voice carried a warning. “Not only is Sierra our honored guest, she’s also part of the King family. I won’t allow anyone to insult her.”

What had happened in the hall was quickly reported to Charlie.

The current butler, Winston Hall, asked, “Should we find a chance to remove Sierra from the board?”

“No. This is not the right time to make a move, especially after what the old man had just said.” Charlie had calmed down over this stretch of time. “Keep an eye on her for now. She might not even pass the test to inherit the shares.”

Winston gave a slight nod. “Understood.”

Charlie’s eyes narrowed. “What worries me is…”

“What is it?” Winston asked.

“Nothing.” Charlie thought it over and said no more. He only instructed, “For the next moments, have people keep an eye on Maxwell. Report anything unusual to me at once.”

Even after all these years, he still could not see through that son of his.

Winston nodded. “Understood.”
