Lahat ng Kabanata ng Regrets Come Too Late: Kabanata 521 - Kabanata 530

Because Maxwell had already let the company know of Sierra's arrival, she had no trouble getting into the CEO's office at King Group. After Winnie brought in two cups of coffee, she left to give them some room to talk."Made up your mind?" Maxwell asked.Sierra nodded. "Yeah.""This is the assessment task book." Maxwell handed her a file without explaining much. "Your task is to bring this company back to life and back on its feet, then make a net profit of one million dollars. Employee turnover rate must remain within normal range."Sierra took the file and flipped through the first two pages.The company had a proper structure, simple departmental hierarchy, and only a few dozen employees. Its main business was developing medical software for major hospitals.She had never worked in that field before."Since you never went through the family's formal training, I'll give you one chance to back out." Maxwell looked at her without much emotion in his eyes, cool and distant as eve

"Please ask your mom to help me suppress this," Sierra sent Holly in a voice message after reading the files on her phone. "Don't reject it, and don't publish it either. Just keep pushing it back.""That's what we're thinking too." Holly was on the same wavelength as Sierra. "But you still need to be careful. If they contacted my mom's company, they would have definitely contacted other media companies too.""I know," Sierra sent the voice message back.Whoever was behind this most likely did not know about her relationship with Hera. Otherwise, they would not have made this move.The person behind this had avoided media companies in Harbor City and gone with one in Jade City instead, most likely because they were afraid Cyrus or Chairman Lynch would trace it back to them.With that in mind, Sierra contacted the owner of the biggest media company in Harbor City. As soon as the other side learned it was her, he suggested meeting in person. They agreed to meet in a private room at a

Sierra and Opal parted after the meal and business discussion, each of them getting into their own car.Sierra trusted Opal's abilities. Starview Media Incorporated was top in the industry in Harbor City, and it could handle plenty of things without making any waves.On the way back, Sierra called Holly and told her about the deal she had made with Opal. The reason she had not gone to Hera's company was simple. She did not want to drag them into the King family's internal conflict.The Chapman family was also one of Harbor City's four major families. Whoever was behind this would not dare do much even if they stepped in. But if Holly and Hera got involved, they would very likely end up in trouble."There's barely anything about you online right now. Three hundred thousand would be the ceiling at market rate," Holly said, thinking the same thing Opal had. "Why did you offer so much?"As long as the news had not gone out yet, Starview Media could bury it whenever they wanted. It was

"Then do it again in an even sweeter voice," Opal said to Sierra as she playfully moved her phone, her newly finished manicure elegant and beautiful. "Say… Big Sis, I really like you. Can I sleep with you?"Sierra fell silent before glancing at Tommy.Tommy looked up at her adorably. "Do I still need to say that?""No." Sierra could not bring herself to make Tommy say something like that. It was just too improper. "Keep reading your book. Mom's going to figure out something else.""Okay." Tommy nodded meekly.The moment Sierra went back to the study, Tommy sent John a voice message. "Uncle John, if you don't hurry up, I'm not just going to end up with twelve stepdads. I might also even get a mom, who's also my big sis."John listened to the message while he was at the new house he had just bought, and he immediately sent back a question mark.Tommy sent another message. "Someone just told Mom to call her Big Sis."John went silent.Tommy kept going. "Even though Mom turned the

The more Opal acted that way, Loren got more and more sure his guess was right.There were not many people Opal could not afford to cross. People from the King and the Lynch family would fall under the category that she did not want to offend, but to say that she could not afford to cross?There was only one person who fit that category.John Henderson.A man no one could read, yet held power in many industries. He was Sierra's ex-husband. Even though they were divorced, Sierra still had custody of their son. It made sense that he would not want Sierra in the public eye. After all, no man, especially not one with status and power, would want other people knowing he could not even get custody of his own son.The more Loren thought about it, the more certain he became that it was John."Got it." After saying those two words, Loren hung up. If it was anyone else, he would have tried every possible way to make them stay out of this matter. But John was someone even Cyrus treate
