Chapter 377 A Perfect Opportunity

Jonathan immediately understood what Sierra meant. His first instinct was to object, but then he remembered what she’d said earlier. After a moment of thought, he nodded.

“Alright. I’ll come up with a plan.”

Rather than constantly staying on guard, it was better to deliberately expose a weakness and lure the snake out of hiding.

If it wasn’t Quinn, then fine. But if it was, this would force her to show her true colors.

So just a couple of days later, Quinn received word that Jonathan was going on a business trip.

“Why are you suddenly heading overseas?” she asked.

“Someone I hired said they’ve found a lead on Timothy. I need to check it out. I can’t keep sitting back and doing nothing,” Jonathan replied, half-truth and half-lie.

At the mention of Timothy’s name, Quinn gave a perfectly timed display of fear. She clutched Jonathan’s hand.

“Jonathan, will it be dangerous?”

At that moment, she truly seemed like a concerned little sister–completely flawless.

Jonathan stared at her for a few seconds before saying, “We can’t move forward until we find him.”

He added, “Besides, I suspect what happened to Sierra last time might be connected to him too. That’s why I have to go.”

He knew Timothy alone wouldn’t be enough to fool Quinn, so he deliberately added Sierra to the story.

This time, Quinn didn’t say anything more. She just reminded him gently, “Be careful, Jonathan. Come back soon.”

“Don’t worry,” Jonathan said. “I’ll be back in no more than a week. If anything comes up while I’m gone, talk to Mateo.”

Then he added, “And don’t go running around.”

“Okay, I got it.”

Quinn personally took Jonathan to the airport. She watched him walk through the gate, confirmed he really boarded the plane, and only then headed back.

She hadn’t originally planned to make a move on Sierra so soon. But now–this was a rare opportunity.

Jonathan was too clever and always watching too closely. It was almost impossible to get to Sierra under his nose.

But now, with a chance like this, she wasn’t going to let it slip through her fingers. She’d had enough.

Every time she saw how much Jonathan cared about Sierra, it made her want to skin her alive.

Why was it that the one person she could never win over gave all his attention to Sierra so effortlessly?

Once Sierra was gone, she would be the most important person in Jonathan’s life again.

After Jonathan had “left,” Sierra kept going to school at the usual times, with a driver picking her up and dropping her off each day.

Her schedule was consistent–everything happened like clockwork.

Quinn knew this was the perfect time to strike. She hadn’t initially wanted Sierra dead. But after last time, she realized Sierra mattered far more to Jonathan than she’d ever expected.

Just trying to separate them clearly wasn’t enough anymore. This time, she wanted Sierra dead.

What she didn’t know was that the moment her “order” went live, it was traced.

Mateo, with dark circles under his eyes, spoke up. “This one’s definitely from Quinn.”

There was no name on the post, but the route, timing, and license plate all matched Sierra’s car.

He’d been monitoring the dark web for days. There were tons of similar sites, and he couldn’t risk missing anything. He’d barely slept–but luckily, he’d caught this one.

It was also further proof that Quinn really was involved.

Mateo felt conflicted. After all, they’d grown up with Quinn. Who would’ve thought she’d turn out like this? Or maybe she’d always been this way, and they’d never noticed.

What kind of person could hide like that for so many years?

Feeling a little overwhelmed, he glanced at Jonathan. He’d expected disappointment, but Jonathan was surprisingly calm–quickly making arrangements to keep Sierra safe.

Someone had already accepted the job. He couldn’t allow Sierra to get hurt–not even a little.

The next day, Sierra followed her routine as usual and got into the car.

That day, Quinn was in an unusually good mood. She even turned to Dora and said, “You haven’t called Ms. Sierra in days. Want to talk to her today?”

Of course Dora did. She looked at Quinn eagerly.

A flicker of mockery flashed in Quinn’s eyes.

She had no idea what made Sierra so special. Jonathan was one thing, but even this little kid couldn’t get enough of her.
