When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252 A Deal with the Devil

“Why?” Sierra couldn’t help but ask. She had always thought he had a good relationship with his grandfather.

“When I go back there, I stop being Jonathan Yeager,” Jonathan murmured against her ear.

Sierra could hear the frustration in his voice.

She reached up, gently running her hand along his back in comfort.

Now she understood why Jonathan never talked about his family.

He didn’t just dislike them–he rejected everything about them.

“Do you really want to take over the family business?” Sierra asked again.

Jonathan released her, studying her for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

Wanting to do something and having to do something are two different things.

But what belongs to me… even if I don’t want it, I won’t let anyone else have it.

What’s mine is mine. Sierra, do you understand?”

Sierra didn’t understand.

But she could feel the intensity of his possessiveness in his words.

She didn’t know what he had been through, so she had no right to judge.

At this moment, she simply chose to stand by his side.

The next day, Sierra headed to North Salem University, while Jonathan returned to the Wynn estate.

The massive estate was empty, save for Wayne.

“Come take a walk with me,” Wayne said, looking like he was in good spirits.

Jonathan glanced outside. The weather was nice. He had no reason to refuse.

They strolled through the mountainside paths as Wayne spoke.

“The land value in Capital City keeps rising. Do you know how many people envy the fact that the Wynn family owns an entire mountainside?”

Wayne sighed, hands clasped behind his back.

“The Wynn family has been passed down for nine generations. You would be the tenth.”

Then he looked at Jonathan, eyes sharp.

“But Jonathan… can I trust you to take over?”

He wanted reassurance.

But Jonathan, as always, refused to give it to him.

“You can give it to someone else.”

Wayne snorted, narrowing his eyes.

Other people might not understand Jonathan, but he did.

If he truly handed the Wynn family over to someone else, then the family might as well be finished.

Chapter 252 A Deal with the Devil

Jonathan was the type of person who would rather destroy something than let others have it.

That was precisely why Wayne had chosen him as his successor.

Because Jonathan had the ability to lead.

And because of his extreme personality.

In the past, Jonathan had been wild, out of control.

Ever since he threw himself into research, he had calmed down and seemed more refined.

But Wayne knew that was all for show.

Only the fools in the family believed his grandson had somehow turned into a gentle and reasonable man.
