Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 601

"I don't know," Marcus said honestly when Sierra asked if he and Tony planned this.

"Then why were you filming?" Sierra asked.

"As evidence," Marcus said. "If Tony was injured, the video could make the man pay his medical bills. If Tony subdued him, it would prove that the man committed a crime first."

Only then did Sierra realize how quick both Marcus and Tony were on their feet. Tony, especially. The second that middle-aged man rushed over, he reacted without hesitation and called out "Dad" right away.

He even fooled her, his boss.

With that thought in mind, she texted Tony and told him to cooperate with the police and call her if he needed anything.

Right after she sent it, Maxwell came in from outside. He looked even sterner and more distant than usual in his black suit. The moment he saw her, he said, "I'll explain to you what happened out there."

"Alright." Sierra did not refuse.

"For now, this is the company's organizational chart and the management team's profiles." Maxwell handed the documents to her. "Once you're done, I'll take you to meet them."

Sierra took them. "Alright."

Her mother had already shown her their information at home, and she almost knew their backgrounds by heart. Still, knowing it was one thing. She still had to go through the process.

Twenty minutes later, she was done. Compared with the copy her mother had, this one only included basic information.

"I'm done," Sierra said, handing the documents back to him.

Over the next hour, Maxwell took her around the company. He explained the department's work and introduced its manager. By the end, she had met almost everyone listed in the file. A few were away on business, so she did not get to meet them.

"If there's anything else you want to know, you can tell me now," Maxwell said after the formalities were over.

Sierra got in. Just as she was about to tell him to go to the police station and bring Tony back, Marcus started the car and suddenly said, "You've grown again."

Sierra looked at him in confusion before giving him a suspicious look.

"Given time, you'll become an impressive entrepreneur," Marcus said in a stern tone. "The people who doubt you now will see you in a different light then."

"You..." Sierra felt there was something odd about what he had said, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Marcus looked at her in the rearview mirror. "You really didn't notice?"

Sierra looked at him. "What was I supposed to notice?"

Marcus said, "I was encouraging you."
