Chapter 528 Closing In
When Dickson heard Matco telling Jonathan not to announce the baby yet, he lowered his head. He knew. Matco would eventually get married..
Jonathan and Sierra caught everyone’s reactions. Sierra sighed inwardly.
She could tell Mateo didn’t have the slightest romantic thought in that direction he only saw Dickson as a younger brother.
After a full day together, when it was time to leave, Dickson stayed behind.
Mateo saw him remain but didn’t ask anything, just turned and left.
Hmph. Once was enough for trying to warm up to a cold shoulder. He’d given Dickson the chance, but when the other refused to say a word, there was no point asking again.
When everyone else was gone, Dickson finally said, “Sis, once Victor’s situation is resolved, I want to go abroad.”
If it weren’t for Victor, he’d already be gone by now.
Sierra’s heart sank. She knew Dickson was running away, but this was no one’s fault.
Dickson wasn’t wrong. Mateo wasn’t wrong either.
“Alright,” Sierra said. “Give it a few more days. Have you decided where you want to go?”
Dickson named a place – clearly, he had already made plans.
All Sierra could do was support him, though she added, “Stay in touch with me often, even after you’re gone.”
“Don’t worry, I will.”
He lingered a little longer, and though Sierra wanted him to stay the night, he insisted on leaving.
After seeing him off, Sierra let out a sigh.
“This is something they’ll have to work out themselves,” Jonathan said. He had been watching too and knew his friend had no such intentions toward Dickson.
Of course Sierra understood that. She just felt sorry for Dickson.
Barely past twenty and he’d already been through so much – all because of those animals.
As they were talking, Jonathan’s phone rang. The number was unfamiliar. He answered, and the voice on the other end said,
“Someone’s coming for you. Be careful.”
The line went dead.

Chapter 528 Closing In
Jonathan’s expression shifted. Almost immediately, the phone rang again – this time it was the head of his security team. Someone was bringing a group of men up the mountain.
Jonathan hung up, his face turning cold. He looked at Sierra. “Something’s come up. I need to go down.
“Who is it?”
She had heard enough of the earlier call to guess.
“Victor’s people.”
He had always wanted to know who Victor’s backer was in the country. This might be the chance to find
out.
He was about to leave when Sierra grabbed his arm. “Could this be dangerous?”
For them to make such a loud move, they had to be confident. Everyone knew the Wynn family’s standing – no one would provoke this lion without a solid plan.
“Let’s see first,” Jonathan said.
For now, he needed to know what excuse they planned to use against him.
Sierra understood they couldn’t avoid it. She nodded, telling him to be careful.
When Jonathan reached the foot of the mountain, Wynn family security was already facing off with the
newcomers.
His arrival made both sides step back.
Jonathan gave them a calm once–over. “You’re all so dedicated–working overtime on a weekend night.”
The leader was from the commerce department. They didn’t want to be there, but they were following orders.
Knowing Jonathan wasn’t someone to offend lightly, the man’s tone softened.
“Apologies, Mr. Wynn. We’ve received reports that the Wynn family’s businesses are involved in smuggling, trafficking in prohibited goods, and illegal possession of firearms. We hope you’ll cooperate with our investigation.”
Jonathan didn’t even ask for their evidence called “proof.”
if they’d come all the way here, they clearly had some so-
No doubt some of his relatives had helped set this up. Otherwise, framing him wouldn’t be so easy.
He had been too merciful, leaving them room to move. That mercy was now letting them cause trouble.
“Alright,” Jonathan said slowly. “Let’s go.”
They hadn’t expected him to agree so readily. Surprised, they quickly stepped aside.
Jonathan glanced at his head of security, who gave a small nod in understanding.

Even if the accusations were real
and they weren’t this wouldn’t be enough to take him down. If he
guessed right, this was just a way to hold him while the real move happened elsewhere.
The security chief was sharp enough to know what to do.
When Sierra got word that Jonathan had been taken, she froze for a moment before quickly regaining her composure.
Now wasn’t the time to panic. Thinking it through, she guessed what was going on. She immediately summoned the butler, along with Jonathan’s assistants and secretaries, then called the head of security back up.
