"Maddy?" Sierra raised a brow, warmth flickering in her chest. She thought back to how she'd confidently reassured Madison earlier that nothing would happen tonight—only for reality to come back and make her eat her words.
"Cee!"
She suddenly heard Madison's voice and looked up to see a car pulling up. The moment it stopped, Madison jumped out and hurried toward her.
Sierra stood up.
"Cee, what happened to your face?"
Madison's sharp eyes immediately caught the swelling on Sierra's cheek. Her expression darkened as she raised her voice. "Benson actually laid his hand on you? That bastard—I'll kill him!"
She didn't even hesitate before cursing him out.
Sierra shot Theo an awkward glance before gently tugging on Madison's hand, trying to calm her down.
Masidon paused, glanced at Theo, and cleared her throat. "Uh—he's Benson's uncle. I meant… Benson's actual uncle."
"It wasn't him. It was Sophie."
"That shameless bitch! Where is she? I'm going to rip her damn face off!"
Madison rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight, her whole face radiating fury. But before she could storm off, Sierra reached out and stopped her.
"Trust me, she won't be showing her face anytime soon."
Those self-punishment—if that didn't ruin her, she'd at least need time to recover.
Hearing Sierra's words, Madison quickly caught on that Theo had already handled things. Some of her anger faded, but she still let out a huff.
"I knew Benson texting you out of nowhere wasn't anything good, but you actually believed him and wouldn't even let me come with you! Good thing I trusted my gut and messaged Adrian, or you would've been completely screwed tonight."
