Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 546

That kind of situation was quite common back then, but Danny simply couldn’t handle losing.

“After that, Danny started holding a grudge against Albion’s family,” Kenneth said softly. “At first, he made it obvious. Once John got a little older, Danny saw his value and understood his temperament, so he started hiding that hostility. In the end, he found a chance to wipe out Albion’s whole family.”

It happened when John was sixteen.

Danny had never let go of what happened back then. On the surface, he acted as if he had moved on. In truth, he remembered every bit of humiliation.

John knew his parents had a problem with Albion’s family, but he only thought Danny was still bitter about losing that business deal to Albion’s father. He kept trying to calm things between them and hoped Danny would finally let it go.

Danny agreed on the surface and promised he would drop it as long as John did two things for him.

“What two things?” Sierra asked.

“First of all, he had to finish the difficult project Danny gave him and do it well enough to prove he could run Henderson Group in the future.” Kenneth remembered that clearly. “Secondly, he had to go overseas to study, enter a competition, and win an international gold medal.”

Sierra paused.

For someone as gifted as John, winning an international gold medal was not especially hard, but finishing that difficult project good enough at sixteen was a real test.

“John agreed, and he handled the project beautifully. Danny and his wife were both very pleased,” Kenneth said. ” When they sent him overseas, they even told him that as long as he came back with the gold medal, Danny would completely let go of his grudge against Albion’s family and spend the rest of his life living off his son after that.”

“But while John was overseas, Danny made his move against Albion’s family,” Sierra said, putting it together from what Lucy had told her before.

“Yes,”

“Kenneth said.

Sierra fell silent.

“When Albion’s family got into trouble John was in the middle of a closed examination that would last half a month. During that time, he was not allowed to use any communication devices, and no one from outside was allowed to distract hirn.”

Even now, Kenneth still remembered how it felt back then.

“Was that planned by Danny from the start?” Sierra asked.

“He never admitted it, but all of us believed it was,” Kenneth said. “After Albion’s family died, we thought that with Albion’s personality, he would definitely avenge his parents. But less than a week later, he jumped from the top of a building. The people who saw it said he did not hesitate for even a second.”

Sierra thought of the photos Solomon had shown her, and the things Lucy had said. John had personally brought Albion’s body home and handled his funeral.

“Sierra, I know his past has nothing to do with you, but as his friend, I’m asking you to help him,” Kenneth said,

each word clear and heavy. “Life’s been tough for him.”

Sierra said nothing.

Kenneth went on, “Once his mental state gets better, you can do whatever you want to him. I’ll even hand you the knife if you want to stab him,”

“Did you know he fell into a river when he was little?” Sierra didn’t answer directly. Instead, she asked the question she wanted answered most.
