A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 406

When Xavier saw that Sierra was about to leave, he thought about asking her when she would return the money and houses she had scammed from their father.

However, when he looked up, he met her eyes that seemed to have seen right through him, causing him to lower his head in shame.

By the time he looked up again, Sierra was already gone.

…

At the Gray Corporation, Adrian stared at the new information he had just found. He took some time to compose himself before he returned to his usual calm and collected self and walked into Theo's office.

"Mr. Gray, it seems like Mrs. Gray's father had just been hospitalized. He probably could not handle the shock of everything."

Adrian did not explain what shock William had received, but Theo could easily guess what had happened as amusement flashed across his eyes.

…

That evening, they were having dinner in silence after returning home. Suddenly, Theo brought it up and asked, "I heard that Mr. Shaw has been admitted to the hospital. Is he alright?"

Sierra ate a piece of short rib and chewed slowly before she said, "He's fine. He just had a stroke, but apparently there might be some lingering effects."

Theo's hand paused midair before he glanced at her in amusement. How could she still say that he was fine after getting a stroke?

Once Sierra was full, she put her spoon down and lowered her head with her cup still in hand. Suddenly, she said, "You were right. One's power and fate should never be placed in someone else's hands."

Raising an eyebrow, Theo was slightly surprised to hear her say that. At the same time, he was also happy that she had agreed with him.

"What did Xavier say?" he asked.

She took a sip of her water and recounted what had happened that afternoon.

In the end, she smiled self-mockingly, saying, "No wonder William always claimed that I wasn't his daughter. It turns out, I really am nothing like him."

Hearing her words, Theo felt his heart ache for her, and he got up to give her a comforting hug. "You're not as fake as him. In fact, you're more like your mom, beautiful and kind."

Leaning against his chest, Sierra chuckled and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Thank you for comforting me."
