Chapter 1970


    Alexis kept up with Johan and reported, "Mr. Ss, there is no news of Miss Sierra for the time


    being." Hearing his answer, Johan stopped short and looked coldly at him.


    He didn''t speak, but the look in his eyes was enough for Alexis to decipher what he meant.


    He wanted to know where Sierra was as soon as possible.


    He needed to know if she was safe.


    "Worry not, Mr. Ss. I''ve already contacted our men to look for her. I''ll let you know once they get


    hold of her news." Alexis wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, trembling with fear. However, a


    series of thoughts were racing through his mind.


    Johan had just sworn in front of the Yard family that he didn''t love Sierra, so why was he asking


    them to search for her at the greatest speed avable?


    Ever since Sierra''s disappearance, Johan, who had always been calm and indifferent, suddenly


    couldn''t keep his wits about him. Though he was obviously affected by it, he still feigned


    indifference, putting on an act in front of everyone.


    Try as he might to lie to others, he couldn''t lie to himself.


    Johan let Alexis'' statement hang and once again stepped into the car parked outside.


    Since he remained silent, Alexis did not dare to speak either. He followed Johan closely behind and


    sat in the front passenger seat, ready to do his bidding at anytime.


    After getting in the car, Johan shut his eyes and leaned back. His mind was full of Sierra''s sweet,


    cold, and lovely appearance, but most of all, her pretending to be tough.


    In front of other people, she was as noble as a princess; the goddess that many people dreamed of.


    It was only in front of him that she would reveal her true self.


    She was no longer the unattainable goddess. She was just an ordinary woman who was blinded by


    love.


    She would cry, act coy, and make a fuss... But more than anything else, she was prideful. She was


    from the Yard family after all. The Yard family blood flowed in her veins and she inherited their bone-


    deep pride.


    Over the years, she had cooked up all sorts of subterfuges to be with him. However, all said and


    done, she was still a part of the Yard family. It wasn''t easy to change something ingrained into your


    marrow, and her pride would never allow her to do anything which would deliberately hurt herself.


    After calming down, Johan''s mind slowly began to function again.


    He concluded that Sierra, such a proud woman, would never do such a terrible thing to herself.


    He knew what she was like. However, when he first got the news that she was missing, his


    emotions had taken over his logicpletely. That was why he''d rushed over to meet with the Yard


    family.


    After thinking it through, Johan opened his eyes and was about to say something to Alexis.


    However, before he could say anything, he realized that something about the car was off.


    In front of him, on the back of the front seat, there was a small red dot shing. Johan wouldn''t have


    seen it if he didn''t pay any careful attention to it. It turned out that it was a pinhole camera.


    Someone had installed a pinhole camera in his car. That person must be none other than Sierra.


    But why would she do so? Johan wondered.


    She was not interested in hispany, so he was sure that she wasn''t trying to steal any


    confidential information about hispany. It seemed like she just wanted to see what his


    expression would be if she disappeared.


    If he showed even the slightest bit of sadness, she would definitelyugh at him.


    Sure enough, as he expected, a woman like Sierra would never do anything to hurt herself. She


    was just using a new modus operandi to continue making fun of him as if she was toying with an


    idiot.


    How many times had it been?


    Johan had lost count. But once again, he had fallen into her trap and let her spin him around like a


    fool.


    He curled the corners of his lips and sneered.


    When Johan parted his lips again, his voice restored to its previousposure and indifference.


    "You don''t have to waste resources to find her anymore. Ask everyone to get back to work. What


    does Sierra''s life or death have to do with me?"

    Hearing Johan''s words, Alexis looked back. It seemed like Johan was still the Johan he knew after


    all. However, his words were different from what he''d said before. He had be even more


    heartless right then, his tone indifferent but tainted with anger. "Mr. Ss, do you mean that we


    should stop searching for Miss Sierra?"


    "Didn''t I make myself clear enough?"


    Johan suddenly roared, which scared Alexis to the point of shrinking his neck in. "Has he lost his


    mind because he''s overly worried about Miss Sierra?" he thought.


    Johan said again, "I''m telling you for the onest time. From now on, don''t intervene with anything


    that has to do with Sierra. Alive or dead, she has nothing to do with us."


    "Huh, how dare she trick me like this. Did she think I would just let her run me around like a fool?"


    "Not again, Sierra Yard,"


    "Never again!" A string of sneers echoed in his mind.


    It seemed like he was saying those words to Alexis, but in reality, he was directing it to himself. He


    wanted to tell the woman who was watching him that he would never love her, and he would never


    fall for someone as reckless and wild as she was.


    However, he knew better than anyone what position Sierra upied in his heart.


    Alexis nodded in panic. "Got it, Mr. Ss."


    Johan ordered again, "Go back to thepany.


    Also, from now on, cut out any calls or messages that have to do with Sierra. I don''t want to hear


    anything about her anymore."


    Alexis nodded nkly. He really couldn''t figure out whether Johan loved Sierra.


    About ten minutester, Johan arrived at thepany.


    As he walked, he instructed Alexis on a few work matters. After thetter went to do his work, he


    walked into the office.


    After escaping everyone''s sight, he punched the wall, and the wall scraped his fingers. As if he


    couldn''t register the pain, he punched the wall once again.


    He knew very well that he could deceive everyone including Sierra, but he could never fool himself.


    That hateful woman was truly detestable.


    "Mr. Yard, Miss Sierra is back, Miss Sierra is back..." While everyone was on a nervous wreck over


    Sierra''s disappearance, she suddenly returned home.


    As soon as she came back, the butler was so excited that he shouted while he ran. He wanted to


    give Maxwell the good news as soon as possible.


    Every member of the Yard family rushed through the door. When they saw Sierra, they were happy


    beyond words, for her safety was more important than anything else.


    Everyone came forward and hugged Sierra. However, there was one person who didn''t. He


    widened his eyes as he looked at her furiously. That person was Jefferson.


    While everyone came to hug Sierra, he scolded, "Sierra, is your brain fried or do you just not have a


    brain at all?"


    Adrienne held Jefferson back and said, "Jefferson, Sierra just got back. At least let her rest first."


    However, Jefferson would never listen to anyone when he was mad. Not only did he scold Sierra,


    he even took his anger out on Adrienne. He said to Adrienne, "It''s none of your business here. Go


    to the side."


    Adrienne was stunned silent.


    Could this man, at the very least, not humiliate her in front of so many people?


    What should she do? She could feel a sudden urge to divorce that man rising in her at that moment.
