Chapter 492 A Friend’s Promise

For a brief moment, White was ready to fight. He’d heard Johnathan was good to test that for himself.

-and honestly, he wanted

But in the end, Johnathan held back. Maybe he didn’t want to escalate things and make the situation with Sierra worse. He turned and walked away.

yet helpless, White was in the best mood he’d been in for

Nothing was more satisfying than watching your enemy unravel.

Once Johnathan was gone, Sierra spoke.

“Sorry. I dragged you into this.”

“What are you saying? We’re friends, aren’t we?”

White smiled at her. “But really – what’s going on between you two? Still not patched things up?”

Sierra shook her head, her expression pained.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I used to like him so much, but now I just feel irritated every time I see him. All his strengths suddenly feel like flaws. I don’t know how to explain it.”

Her emotions visibly frayed. White jumped in quickly.

“I get it. This is normal. Maybe the love you thought you had for him wasn’t real. You two are really different. You’re patient and gentle. He’s overbearing. I always wondered how you two even ended up together. Maybe he just showed up when you were at your most vulnerable, and you mistook that for love. But now you’re stronger, more independent. His need for control is suffocating, and that’s what’s driving your resentment.”

It had to be said White was good.

–

His words were subtly manipulative, enough to shake anyone with a weaker will.

Sierra felt a wave of cold amusement, but her eyes showed only confusion.

“Is that really what it is?”

“Yes.”

White answered with certainty.

“So what should I do? I really can’t stand being around him anymore. But I know it’s wrong to feel this way. I shouldn’t treat him like this.”

Sierra’s expression turned into a mix of pain and struggle.

White took the opening.

“Don’t force yourself. You’ll only make yourself more miserable. And it’s not fair to him either. Maybe it s time to really think about what you want.”

He didn’t say the words “break up,” but every sentence pointed toward it.

“What I want…” Sierra repeated under her breath. White continued to nudge her.

“Exactly. Think about it. Do you want to stay tangled in this painful mess or step into something bigger, something freer?”

Sierra seemed to think deeply for a moment, then shook her head.

“No. You don’t know him like I do.”

“He has a strong need for control. If he finds out I want to leave, he won’t allow it.”

At that, White smiled.

“Sierra, do you trust me?”

She looked at him, hesitating. Then finally nodded. noveldrama

“I do. You’ve been by my side this whole time. My advisor, my seniors – they all take his side. No one really sees how hard this is for me. You’re the only one who gets it.”

“Then I won’t let your trust go to waste.”

White leaned in slightly, his voice calm.

“If you really want out, I can help.”

“Really?” Sierra’s eyes lit up, the first spark of hope he’d seen in her.

But then she hesitated again.

“No, I don’t want to drag you into this. You don’t know how powerful he is. If I leave him, he’ll make sure I never work in this field again. I can’t give up my career.”

“He can’t control everything. If you’re willing, I’ll give you something better. A platform where you can do the research you love, uninterrupted.”

White painted a vivid picture

–

a dream world where Sierra could work freely, without interference.

And slowly, she seemed to be buying it.

In the end, she nodded. “Alright. Help me.”

“My pleasure,” White replied with a smile. “It’s what friends are for.”

“By the way,” Sierra asked, “this place you’re offering is it in the country?”

“No,” White said. “It’s abroad.”

Sierra’s expression tensed slightly. “But he has a lot of connections overseas too. He knows people

everywhere…”

“No need to worry. It’s a private island in international waters. He has no reach there.”

“He’ll never find it.”

Sierra finally looked a bit more at case.

“What should I do now?”

“Wait for my good news.”

“Okay.” She nodded. “Hurry. I can’t take this much longer.”

“Of course.”

White kept his tone light and pleasant.

That night, Johnathan came to see Sierra again.

He seemed calmer, his emotions under control, and he made an effort to soften his tone.

“Sierra… can we go home?”
