Chapter 378 A Fatal Mistake

+8 Pearls

Quinn dialed Sierra’s number, but it just kept ringing with no answer. With a pleasant smile, she said, “Ms. Sierra might be busy and can’t answer your call. We’ll try again another day!”

She already knew this call would never go through.

By her estimate, the hit should’ve already gone down. Sierra should be dead–killed in a car accident. Any moment now, pictures would start appearing online.

Just imagining Sierra’s gruesome end put Quinn in a great mood. She even took half a day off from work under the pretense of spending time with Dora, but in truth, she stayed home to watch for the death photos on her computer.

But as the hours passed, nothing showed up. No photos. No news.

Quinn’s expression darkened. Did it fail? How could that be?

She knew just how ruthless those people were. If the money was right, they’d do anything–not just kill someone, but worse. She’d seen someone request a live broadcast of a flaying, and those people had delivered.

A simple staged car accident should’ve been nothing.

But by nightfall, there was still nothing.

Her expression was now completely grim.

And then, suddenly, the doorbell rang. A chill ran down her spine.

She opened the door–only to find it already unlocked by two bodyguards Jonathan had arranged. And there he stood.

Quinn’s heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm, even lighting up with surprise.

“Johnathan! You’re back so soon? Was everything smooth?”

Jonathan didn’t answer. He walked straight in and sat down, motioning for the two men to take Dora away first. Only then did he turn to Quinn.

“Thanks to you, everything went pretty smoothly.”

The moment she saw him have Dora taken away, Quinn knew–it was over. She was exposed.

She didn’t bother pretending anymore. Instead, she gave a small smile and sat down across from him.

“When did you find out?” she asked.

Jonathan looked at her steadily. “Since the last time Sierra got hurt, I knew something was wrong.”

Back then, he didn’t have proof–but he’d been on alert ever since.

“That early?” Quinn seemed genuinely surprised. “I thought I hadn’t left any traces.”

She’d gone to great–lengths to distance herself from that incident. She never imagined Jonathan would still suspect her.
