Chapter 361: The Trap Tightens

Johnathan didn't want Quinn to keep bringing up his mother, so he changed the subject.

“When my hand healed back then, that person stopped coming too, right?”

“Yeah,” Quinn nodded, then asked curiously, “What’s with you today? Why are you asking so much about her?”

“Nothing, just remembering old times. Thought about the food she made,” Johnathan said, half-truthfully.

Hearing that, Quinn quickly said, “If you miss her cooking so much, why not ask if she’s willing to come to the country?”

“You and Sierra are both so busy. Having someone to cook for you would be nice.”

Johnathan’s heart skipped slightly. “You can still contact her?”

“I don’t know,” Quinn said. “I kept her number back then, but I’m not sure if it still works.”

She searched for a long time before finally finding the number. When she called, it turned out the line had long been reassigned.

“It’s been so many years. She’s probably not even there anymore. I heard she had gone overseas with her child for school. She probably went back to her home country by now,” Quinn explained.

Johnathan didn’t say much. They chatted a little more about old memories. As he was about to leave, he asked casually, “Where did you find her back then? Maybe I can still track her down.”

Quinn froze for a moment before answering, “I don’t remember. It’s been so many years. I don’t know if I posted something at school or if someone helped me find her. I’ll look through my stuff and see if I can find anything.”

She smiled and added, “Seems like you really loved her cooking.”

Johnathan didn’t deny it. But when he left the apartment, his expression darkened. He had dropped by without any warning, brought up the topic randomly, and yet Quinn hadn’t shown a single flaw. Either she truly had nothing to do with it, or she was acting incredibly well. If it was the latter, he had seriously underestimated Quinn all these years.

Johnathan still remembered the housekeeper’s face from back then. He quickly sketched out a rough image and sent it to Mateo.

“Find this person. Ten years ago she should have been overseas.”

Johnathan gave him a few more details. Mateo worked quickly. Before Johnathan even settled back into the company, Mateo was already there.

“I think I found her. Take a look.”

Mateo pulled up a photo on his laptop. Johnathan glanced at it once and confirmed immediately. “That’s her.”

Though her hairstyle and clothes were different, Johnathan was certain she was the same woman.

“Where is she now?” he pressed. He needed to find her fast.

“Underground,” Mateo said, rolling his eyes. “What the hell are you into these days?”

Hearing she was dead, Johnathan didn’t even flinch. He didn’t answer Mateo’s question and only asked, “When did she die?”

“Let me check.”

Mateo dug around and gave a date. Johnathan thought about it carefully. That date was only a few days after she had left his place. So this lead was dead too?

Seeing him deep in thought, Mateo didn’t dare interrupt. After a long moment, he asked, “What’s going on?”

Johnathan finally looked up at him. “Someone’s targeting me.”

“What do you mean?”

Mateo’s face changed. “You found out who went after Sierra?”

Johnathan shook his head and explained the leak of his research data. When Mateo finished listening, he was speechless. He understood just how serious this was. Domestically, regulations were strict. If anyone found out that the future head of the Wynn family had ties to drugs circulating on black markets overseas, it would cause massive damage. The Wynn family had maintained its power for years by staying lawful and avoiding any political factions. If this blew up, the consequences would be devastating.

This idiot seriously had no filter.

“Should we tell Sierra?” Mateo asked. “And if you’re not doing research anymore, won’t they change targets and start watching Sierra?”

That hit Johnathan hard. He and Mateo exchanged a look, both thinking about the earlier incident when Sierra and Draven’s research had been leaked. Back then, they had blamed foreign forces, but they never found out exactly who was behind it. Now, Sierra was working on research connected to Quinn’s blood.

Realizing this, Johnathan couldn’t sit still any longer. He immediately headed for Sierra’s school.
