A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 324

Theo's voice was so deep and dominant that William could feel his overwhelming authority over the phone.

"W-Well…" William stammered for a long time. He was the type of person who preyed on the weak and feared the powerful. The next time he spoke up, his voice was laced with flattery.

"Of course, I trust you, Mr. Gray. Vera misses Sierra. That's why she made the phone call." He chuckled awkwardly. "I didn't expect you two to be together right now. Geez. It's a big misunderstanding. That's what this is. I'll leave you guys to it now.

"Anyway, you have to work faster on the contract and give me a project that's guaranteed to make money. We're family, after all."

Theo responded calmly, "Sure."

Sierra was shocked by how shameless William was. She reached out and snatched the phone. "Dream on. I won't let Theo feed your insatiable greed."

All she heard was the busy tone over the phone. He had already hung up.

She panted heavily and, despite her best efforts, tears streamed down her cheeks.

She didn't agree to William's terms previously because she didn't want to cause any problems for Theo. Now that they harbored genuine feelings for each other, she was even less willing to let him witness the Shaw family's shamelessness.

Sierra was wracked with disgust, shame, and guilt when she heard how William audaciously used her to ask for favors from Theo.

"It's okay." Theo raised his hand and pulled her into his arms.

Sierra leaned on his chest, and she finally couldn't hold the tears back anymore. She fell apart and cried in anguish. "Why? Why do I have to go through this?"

As he listened to her repeated questions, a look of pain flashed across his grim expression, and he tightened his embrace.

William had failed as a father. That much was clear as day. He wasn't in a position to meddle in the Shaw family matter previously. Now that he and Sierra were married, he was part of the family, too. Vera was in deep waters, and it was his duty to intervene.
