A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 231

The light in Felicia's eyes flickered as she quietly shifted her feet. When a staff member passed by her, she discreetly reached out her hand.

"Watch out!"

The sharp corner of a table was crashing straight for Sierra's shoulder. Those who witnessed it couldn't help but cover their mouths, and the room filled with gasps. Felicia, taking advantage of the distraction, quickly straightened up and even took a couple of steps back.

Sierra sensed the danger but couldn't dodge in time. She could only turn sideways, using her back to shield herself.

She thought bitterly that it seemed she was destined to miss this competition!

Just then, a wave of warmth enveloped her. Hearing a muffled grunt in her ear, Sierra opened her eyes in surprise.

"Oh no! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" The staff member panicked and hurried to steady the table.

Sierra snapped back to her senses, and sat up straight, looking at the person who had shielded her.

"Uncle Theo!"

Her bright eyes shifted from Theo's face to his shoulder, a look of concern washing over her. "Your shoulder..."

The staff member knew how heavy the table was and that it had struck at the sharpest corner. There was no way he could be unscathed.

Hearing others blame them for being careless, the staff paled with fear.

"I'm so sorry! Someone bumped into me. I didn't do it on purpose."

Terrified of being held accountable, they kept apologizing and explaining.

Felicia's heart skipped a beat, and she avoided eye contact. She hadn't expected Theo to show up and felt a pang of fear.

The contestants near the staff member stepped back, chattering and denying any involvement. Seeing no one take responsibility, the staff member broke into a cold sweat. "Someone really bumped into me from behind."
