Chapter 530 Holding the Line
Someone was about to speak, but Sierra didn’t give them the chance.
“All you ever do is run your own little calculations,” she said sharply. “Ask yourselves honestly–since Jonathan became head of the family, haven’t you been getting more money than before? And every cent of it clean. Instead of being content, you’re here making noise. If the Wynn family falls, what do you think you’ll have left? Who will still give you the time of day then?”
Her words hit hard, leaving the room momentarily stunned.
Everyone knew Sierra was now the lady of the house, but they had never taken her seriously. Her presence had always been quiet, almost invisible.
That was exactly why they’d dared to show up today. They feared Jonathan, but they didn’t think Sierra was worth worrying about.
Even Chase and Susie were taken aback.
They knew her better than most – gentle on the surface, but unyielding in her principles.
When they’d clashed with Jonathan before, they had considered going through Sierra, only to find she stood firmly by Jonathan’s side.
They had hurried over this morning thinking Sierra wouldn’t be able to handle this, since she had never involved herself in Wynn family affairs.
But today, they saw they had underestimated her.
Even without Jonathan, she feared no one.
Her words silenced the troublemakers. One by one, they closed their mouths.
“This won’t end here,” Sierra said. “If they’ve decided to move against the Wynn family, this is only the beginning. If you have any sense at all, you’ll know now is the time for unity, not for washing your hands
don’t give anyone an excuse to come after you. Otherwise, you won’t of it. Keep your own turf clean even know how you died. And stop dreaming about replacing Jonathan. If the powers above have already made a move, their target isn’t Jonathan alone – it’s the entire Wynn family. Now go.”
—
She waved a hand. Even sitting in her chair, her face pale and thin with fatigue, there was a force in her presence no one dared resist.
The group dispersed in uneasy silence. Many faces showed fear at the thought of the Wynn family truly collapsing.
After a moment’s thought, she said, “I’ll need to trouble you to hold things together here for now.
