A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 Behind Weakness 

Sierra asked, “Mom, do you think you’ve been living well these years?” 

The question made Vera’s body stiffen a little. 

sierra looked at her and continued, “Mom, you may not have to worry about living, but you live in a house under William’s name and spend money from his bank cards. Have you ever gotten the respect from William that a wife, a family member, should receive?” 

Vera’s eyes widened, and her face rumed somewhat pale. She lowered her head. 

Sierra felt a little regretful for speaking so impulsively. Vera was gentle and weak, and she must be feeling deeply hurt right now. 

She pursed her lips and softly said, “Sorry, Mom. I was too harsh just now.” 

“You’re right,” Vera spoke slowly. “I haven’t lived as well as I seem. I’m even worse off than the housekeeper in the Shaw family, but, Cee, i don’t regret it…” 

She lifted her head and held a serious expression 

Sierra looked confused. “Mom, why?– 

“Because of the title of ‘Mrs. Shaw‘,” Vera’s voice was beavy as she spoke calmly 

“When I was young, we were poor. My father, your grandfather, made a living by scavenging trash 

“I grew up amidst mockery and gradually became self–conscious, sensitive, and weak. It was precisely because I wanted to escape those voices that I worked hard to get into university, leaving that small mountain village and my grandfather behind 

“But even after I got to the city and into school, I still couldn’t escape the disdain and sneers. People still bullied and ridiculed me 

“That was until I met your father. I knew William was a womanizer and that his affection wouldn’t last long, but I chose him because his affection earned me respect from others. Those who had bullied me before no longer dared to openly do so because of him. They even tried to ingratiate themselves with me. “I knew they didn’t trily respect me, but so what? As long as they didn’t bully me anymore, it was enough. It was all thanks to your grandfather that I could marry William. He was kind and didn’t care much about my family background, unlike other rich people. 

“He believed I wouldn’t act like the other women William had been with, so William married me. At that time, I was pregnant with you, and I married into the Shaw family–an ugly duckding rumning into a swan, a perfect transformation. 

“Those who once thought I could never really marry William were stunned William did have some real feelings for me back then, and he pampered me. The people who had bullied me began to fear me, afraid I would take revenge, so they found ways to apologize to me. 

At this point, Vera smiled, her face showing a pride Sierra had never seen before.
