When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345 No Way Out

Hearing those words, Maddox let out a cold laugh. “Amanda, you’ve always spoiled him, indulged him. Anytime someone tried to discipline him, you stopped them. The Treno family can’t cover for him this time–he’s really messed up.”

“What kind of trouble could he have gotten into?” Trev’s mother couldn’t help but retort. “He’s not a bad kid, just a bit too playful.”

And so what if he liked women? Just pay them off and be done with it..

“Look, why don’t you hear Maddox out first,” Maddox’s father cut in, knowing his son well enough to realize this wasn’t something minor.

He frowned. “What exactly happened?”

“Father, you’ve probably already heard there was an incident at my birthday party today?”

Everyone nodded slightly.

“Someone was nearly assaulted. I investigated–it was Trev.”

At that, Trev’s mother cried out, “That’s it? That’s what this is about? You said it yourself–nearly. Nothing actually happened! And even if it did, we can settle it, can’t we?”

“Shut your mouth!” Talhand, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

He knew that guests invited to his grandson’s party were all from influential families. Not a single one of them was ordinary..

“Whose family was she from?” Talhand asked.

“It was Sierra–Johnathan’s woman,” Maddox answered.

The entire room went still.

What? Johnathan’s woman?

Everyone remembered clearly how Johnathan had dealt with the Zach family not long ago.

And he’d gone head–to–head with the Goodman family too. Talhand had specifically asked his eldest grandson about it and learned that Sierra had been the reason for it all.

From that alone, he understood how much Sierra meant to Johnathan.

And now, someone from the second branch had gone and offended her?

Talhand couldn’t hold back. He picked up his cane and struck Trey with it.

If beating this bastard to death would solve the problem, he would’ve done it already.

But he knew what Johnathan was like. This wasn’t something that would be easily settled.

With that in mind, Maddox stepped in and stopped Talhand. “Grandpa, hand him over to Johnathan.”

“No–no!” Trev’s mother panicked.

“You can’t hand Trev over to Johnathan! Maddox, Maddox, I’m begging you–he’s your cousin! You can’t be this heartless! If you give him to Johnathan, he won’t survive!”

The moment Trev had told his story, Maddox had sent someone to track down those two men- but they’d turned up nothing.
