The Seven Sisters and Their Hidden King-Chapter 334 – What’s Between Us
Chapter 334 - 334 – What’s Between Us
John didn't deny anything. Instead, he smiled and said, "You're very smart, madame."
He was smiling?
Alexandra Flaherty was so furious she almost couldn't stop herself from slapping him across the face.
She regretted it—deeply.
She should never have tried to warn John to leave Houston quietly. That single act of concern had completely backfired. Instead of keeping a low profile, he was doing the exact opposite—he was making a scene.
Deliberately.
He was too damn rebellious.
And just as she suspected, John wanted the attention. He was provoking every force in Houston on purpose.
Why?
Because he was trying to expose the truth behind the fire at the welfare house.
She had warned him the very first time they met—told him to keep his head down and leave quietly. But that only confirmed his suspicion.
Someone didn't want him alive.
So he figured—if he kept a high enough profile, that "someone" would come out of the shadows to deal with him personally.
And that's exactly what he wanted.
As for why he hadn't revealed his identity as the King of Horizon and asked Alexandra to come clean with the truth—it was simple.
He didn't know which side Alexandra was really on.
There was always a chance she only knew part of the story. If he told her everything too soon, it might alert the real culprits—make them go into hiding.
After all, the title King of Horizon was more than just a name.
It was a force of nature.
The moment the truth got out, the entire underworld would go quiet. No one would dare to move.
That's why John chose to stir the pot himself.

He let out a faint, bitter smile.
From the way Alexandra had reacted earlier—panicked, worried—it was clear she did care about him. But she still refused to tell him what she knew.
That part caught him off guard.
He softened his tone.
"If you won't tell me the truth, then at least answer something else."
Alexandra's voice was weak. "What is it?"
"What's the relationship between us?"
Silence.
She didn't answer.
John chuckled lightly. "I see, Miss Flaherty. No need to persuade me anymore. I'll be there for that battle—without a doubt."
At this point, she wouldn't even tell him what they were to each other.
Which meant there were things she couldn't say. Maybe things she wasn't allowed to say.
John understood.
He wouldn't press her further.
He turned and opened the door. Just before stepping out, he paused and glanced back.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Flaherty."
The door closed softly behind him.
Alexandra trembled.

Then she collapsed into her chair, her whole body sinking like the wind had been knocked out of her. Pain twisted across her face, raw and unfiltered.
