Chapter 59 Escape
William’s expression immediately changed. Looking at Vera, he snorted. “I know you’re feeling sorry for her. For the Gray family’s sale, go ahead and bring her
some food.”
“Thank you, William,” came Vera’s quick reply. There was also a smile on her face.
“I’ll come with her,” he said, unwilling to leave her with the keys, and stood up.
She nodded, had the housekeeper prepare the food, and cattled it upstairs.
The door was open, revealing an empty room
Thinking that Sierra had gone to the bathroom, Vera set the food down and pushed open the bathroom door. However, it was also empty “Where is Sierra?” William paled as asked in a cold voice.
“L… I don’t know either. Vera was just as confused.
He turned, noticing that the window was wide open. His heart sank as he approached and noticed the bedsheet tied to the windowsill.
His expression tumed gloomy as he gritted his teeth in anger. “She climbed out of the window!”
She walked over and looked down from the window. She paled and trembled, thinking about Sierra climbing down from such height made her knees to weak Sierra was way too bold.
“When I find that brat, I’ll break her legs!” he cursed. Then, he stormed out in anger, ready to hunt for Sierra.
Vera quickly blocked him
“Get out of my way! William roughly shoved her to the ground.
Despite the pain, she got up and held his arm tightly while pleading, “William, forcing Cee like this won’t work She’s stubbom. The more you push her, the more she’ll rebel against you. If she ends up doing something foolish, all your plans will go to waste.”
He stopped in his tracks as the image of Sierra’s defiant gaze flashed through his mind. He didn’t want to push her to her breaking point as he was counting on her to marry into the Gray family.
Frowning, William tumed to Vera. “What’s your plan?”
“William, Cee listens to me the most. As long as I talk to her patiently, she’ll come around. She’s just angry. Once she calms down, I’ll coax her, and she’ll listen to
Hearing this, he narrowed his eyes. “I almost forgot she’s heartless and ungrateful. The only people she cares about are you and the old man. The old man’s dead, so I can’t use him to threaten her any more. But there’s still you.
“I’ll give you one chance to persuade her. It she doesn’t listen to you. He suddenly paused, as a cruel smile spread across his face.
His malicious intent made Vera tremble all over. She lowered her head, trying hard to suppress her fear “Don’t blame me for being ruthless when the time comes. If she refuses to behave, it’ll be on her. Do you get i He caressed her face before suddenly gripping her chin with force. His smile vanished, only to Vera hurriedly nodded, and her eyes were filled with terror.
