Sierra excitedly shared her research progress with White.

way better than usual. It felt like divine inspiration!

“You’re right. A change in environment really makes a difference.

White smiled meaningfully.

That evening, Johnathan came to pick her up. White could tell his mood was off. And Sierra? The moment she saw him, there was no joy in her eyes. Only irritation.

Seeing the two of them like this, White was overjoyed.

They were all people who valued appearances. Johnathan gave White a curt nod before reaching for Sierra’s hand. She instinctively tried to pull away, then stopped herself.

White noticed it all. The details gave him more reassurance.

This was exactly what he wanted to see.

After they left, he immediately instructed Nate to reinforce Sierra’s aversion to Johnathan.

“Once a day,” he said.

Nate hesitated.

“If it’s too frequent, it might cause emotional damage.”

which was why he voiced the concern.

“You know this kind of interference goes against natural brain function. It will inevitably harm the nervous system.”

White frowned.

“Then every other day. Don’t touch anything else. Just target her emotions.”

He was determined to break Sierra and Johnathan apart completely.

Johnathan played with her earlobe, something he always did affectionately.

“He probably just wants to control me so I’ll work for him,” Sierra said.

“Mm,” Johnathan murmured then cut her off with a kiss.

He didn’t want to waste a quiet moment talking about that man.

The next morning, Johnathan dropped Sierra off at the university, then headed to the cemetery. It had been a long time.

After learning the truth about who he really was, he hadn’t returned.

Even when Wayne was buried, he had avoided Wendy’s grave. But today, he brought flowers and stood before her headstone..

This was the Wynn family’s private cemetery. Wendy’s resting place had been kept spotless.

He stared at it for a while, then placed the noveldrama

“Mom… I came to see you.”

Owers down.

In Johnathan’s heart, Wendy would always be his mother. All his memories of what it meant to be loved by a mother came from her.

“You went through so much.”

He’d never known the burden she carried.

Now he understood why she had always seemed unhappy – why she would cry when no one was looking.

She’d held up his entire childhood with her fragile shoulders.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make them pay.”

He spoke to her a while longer before leaving.

Meanwhile, White was in excellent spirits. The tension between Sierra and Johnathan had become more obvious. Johnathan’s frustration was visible to the naked eye, and it all stemmed from Sierra’s growing impatience.

He wasn’t the only one who noticed. Even Autumn had picked up on it.

One day during lunch, Autumn couldn’t help asking:

“Sierra, is everything okay between you and Professor Yaager?”

“…It’s fine,” Sierra answered with a strained smile.

Autumn looked worried, but it was hard to interfere in someone else’s relationship.

Sierra’s mood continued to spiral, especially when Johnathan was around. The look of disgust in her eyes was getting harder and harder to hide.

Finally, one day, Johnathan couldn’t take it anymore. He snapped.

“Sierra, what’s going on with you?”

And she didn’t hold back either.

“Johnathan, can we take some time apart? Just for a while. I need space.”

Johnathan’s expression darkened instantly. He walked toward her, only for White to quickly step between them.

“Professor Yaager, please – give her some room. She’s really not doing well lately.”

“Get out of my way.”

Johnathan roared at him.

Before White could respond, Sierra exploded.

“Johnathan! Can you not do this? You’re always so overbearing! White is my friend. Can’t you show him a little respect?”

Johnathan stared at her, stunned – disbelief flashing in his eyes. White saw the moment his fists clenched.
