before quickly ordering a household staff to retrieve it. The once–beautifully wrapped box now lay stained and dirty.

Chapter 45 Cold Sarcasm
Sierra stepped forward and carefully wiped away the stains on the box, Xavier let out a mocking laugh as he watched her.
Vera shot him a glare before tuming to Sletta. “Cee, don’t be upset. Your brother’s still young. He doesn’t understand.”
“He’s 20 years old. How is that still considered young?” Sierra’s voice was cold. “I started working part–time and earning my own money when I was 18. He’s an adult now, not a child amanore.
Upon hearing this, a flicker of guilt flashed in Vera’s eyes.
Nevertheless, Xavier spoke impatiently. “What does that have to do with you, Sierra? I don’t have time to waste talking to you. Just hurry up and give me the gift Theo prepared for me!”
“There’s no gift.” Sierra’s voice was icy.
“No pitt?” Xavier looked at her, incredulous.
Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he rushed up to Sierra, pointing at her accusingly. “Did you upset him? No wonder he didn’t come with you to celebrate birthday today!”
William’s expression darkened, and he frowned deeply, “Sierra, did you upset tenson?”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Sierra’s eyes. From the moment she’d entered, none of them had shown the slightest concern for her. All they cared about was whether Benson had come. Their cold indifference stung her deeply.
She raised her eyes to meet William’s emotionless gaze and calmly replied, “I’ve broken up with Benson
The living room fell silent for a moment before William’s furious, incredulous voice erupted,
“What? Are you out of your mind?
“Did you upset Benson? If you made him angry, go apologize! How could you break up with him?”
As she listened to his angry outburst, Sierra felt nothing but a deep, almost detached calm. See? This was William–immediately blaming her without asking for an explanation
Vera quickly intervened, trying to
ing to calm him down. “Don’t ge
I get so worked up, Let’s talk this through.”
She turned to Sierra, hertone soft and gentle. “Cee, you and Benson have always had such a good relationship. Was there some land of misunderstanding? Why would you suddenly breakup?
Sierra answered calmly, “He felfor another woman.”
Vera’s face paled at the words, and william’s expression hardened.
However, Xavier snorted disdainfully. “So you got dumped, huli?”
Sierra clenched her fists, her gaze tu
turing sharp as she shot him a cold look “I was the one who ended it.”
William’s eyebrows shot up in anger upon hearing this. His face contorted with frustration and disappointment as he glared at her.
