A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 323

"Hi, Mom. How have you been lately?" Sierra asked, gripping her cell phone and rubbing her sleeves.

Vera was sobbing, but she forced herself to speak calmly, "I'm doing quite well. What about you? Has Theo been treating you right? Did the Grays make life difficult for you?"

Tears welled up in Sierra's eyes when she heard the concern in Vera's voice. Then, she patiently answered each of the questions.

Meanwhile, Theo reached out and wiped her tears away before gently pulling her into his arms.

Once Sierra was almost done chatting with Vera, she sniffled and went straight to the point. "Mom, did he make you call me?"

She sneered when Vera didn't respond to her. "Pass the phone to him. I'd rather deal with him directly."

Shortly after, Sierra heard William's sickening voice over the phone. "I didn't expect you to be this capable. You actually won Theo's heart. Now that you two are married, don't you think it's time you hold up the end of your bargain? When are you going to give me the monetary gift?"

When she heard William's voice, she wiped her tears as she asked icily, "Did you hit Mom again?"

William sneered and reached out to pinch Vera, who gasped painfully at once.

Sierra quivered with rage when she heard it. She closed her eyes to give herself a few seconds before speaking in a deep and menacing tone. "William, you won't get anything from me if you lay a finger on Mom again."

Vera wasn't willing to divorce William. In order to make her life easier, Sierra had to lure him with some monetary interest. Now that she had put his interest at stake, Vera's painful gasps immediately stopped.

"I didn't want to have to hit her. It was just that she refused to obey me. She and Xavier wouldn't have had to go through this if she had made this call sooner." He defended himself, not feeling an ounce of guilt for beating up his wife and son.

Sierra had long given up on William, even though he was her birth father. However, that didn't mean his words didn't give her goosebumps.

"Did you hit Xavier? Is there any humane quality left in you? He's your son!"
