Chapter 514
“Find another skilled driver and make sure he and her car have a close call,” Loren said.
He leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette, holding it between his fingers.
“Help her relive Aunt Anna’s accident. While you’re at it, make sure she understands that if she takes what is not hers, she’ll f
for it.”
“Her biological father is Mr. Lynch. If we make a move too suddenly, won’t that draw attention?” Brenda asked, analyzing the situation for him.
“What are you afraid of? Back when her husband was John, where did that get her?” Loren took a puff of his cigarette and let c a smoke ring. “As long as your people do their jobs properly, I’ll handle the rest. Once I make a few moves on my end, the stor that the little princess of the King and Lynch families throwing her weight around will stick.”
With that, Brenda understood.
“Alright.” A plan quickly formed in her mind.
“Tell me the day before you do it. I’ll have people start spreading stories about how she’s the spoiled princess of both families. Loren only wanted to see Sierra ruined. “That way, the groundwork will already be in place.”
“Got it,” Brenda said.
After they finished talking, Brenda even sent Sierra a message to keep up appearances.
Sierra sent back a photo of Brenda discussing compensation with Skyler, then added a line. “Nice act. Keep it up.”
Brenda paused.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to reply.
After blocking her, Sierra put away her phone and walked over to Anna to voice her concern.
“Mom, once I officially start the take over, I want both bodyguards with me. We can hire two new ones for our home.”
“Alright.” Anna had been thinking the same thing.
She knew exactly how shameless and ruthless Charlie and Peter could be. She couldn’t relax if Marcus was the only one staying by Sierra’s side.
“By the way, Cyrus gave me this.” Sierra opened the wooden box and handed it to Anna.
The moment Anna saw the ring inside, she froze for a second. She was clearly surprised that Cyrus would give something this important to Sierra.
Cyrus had always been someone who favored sons over daughters. By his own logic back then, doing something like this would have made him the laughingstock of his entire circle.
“Mom?” Sierra noticed the change in her mood.
“This is a good thing. Keep it.” Anna handed it back to Sierra, feeling a little more at ease. “When the time comes, you can use it to make a real statement.”
Sierra looked puzzled.
Anna explained, “You can think of it as a symbol of the power and status held by each head of the King family. When people in Harbor City see this signet ring, they will show you some respect, even if they do not know who you are.”
Sierra’s eyes lit up with understanding.

No wonder both of her uncles had reacted so strongly! That was why.
“You keep it.” Sierra felt something like this should belong to her mother.
“It does nothing for me. You’ll find it more useful when you have it,” Anna said with certainty. “Cyrus had his own reasons for giving it to you.”
“I know.” Sierra understood that much.
“On one hand, he wanted to use this to tell me he was wrong about what happened back then.” Anna was disappointed in the family, but she understood them all too well. “On the other hand, he knows I’ll never forgive him, so he decided he might as well try to mend things with you.”
