RedNovelChapter 179 Heartless "If Benson still considered himself part of this family and cared about his reputation, he wouldn't have done something so disgraceful," Theo spoke indifferently, and his gaze was devoid of warmth.
Jclenched her fists, let out a cold laugh, and mocked, "Theo, don't act so high and mighty. You say you're disciplining Benson, but in reality, you're just taking it out on him for Sierra's sake. That little seductress has even managed to ensnare you!" "Enough." Liam cut her off in a low voice. "Stop spouting nonsense." "How am I spouting nonsense? Theo is clearly targeting Benson out of personal bias!" Jstared at Theo with fury. She had known all along that his feelings for Sierra were anything but ordinary.
"Janet, you keep insulting Sierra, but do you even realize she's still in the hospital? Thanks to Benson, her shoulder was dislocated. Do you have any idea how painful that is? Would you like to experience it for yourself?" His gaze turned dangerously cold, and his usually clear voice was laced with barely contained anger. Janet's face paled, her eyes shifting uneasily. After a few seconds, she muttered, "Benson couldn't have done it on purpose." "Hah! Of course, in your eyes, your son can do no wrong. But Sierra's someone else's beloved daughter, too. Does she deserve to be bullied? Does she deserve to be hurt?" Theo's eyes darkened with fury as he questioned her in an icy voice.

For years, she had only seen Theo as someone who was always composed and never easily angered. Yet now, his expression was utterly cold, his features taut, his eyes like frost-covered steel.
"Theo, what Benson did was wrong. Sierra suffered because of it." Liam let out a low sigh.
"No matter how wrong Benson was, I'll have him apologize to Sierra, alright? Theo, we're family. Must you be so heartless?" Janet's tone softened, no longer as aggressive as before.
"If Sierra doesn't forgive Benson, he's not getting out no matter who you seek help from. I need to rest now and will leave you to it." Theo left them with that cold statement before standing up and heading upstairs. "Theo, stop right there!" Jshouted furiously at his retreating figure, but Theo didn't even pause.
Liam's expression darkened as he took Janet's hand and led her out.
Outside, Jangrily shook off his grip. "All you do is dragaway! If Theo won't relent, Benson won't get out- what are we supposed to do?" Her voice was a mix of frustration and sorrow, and the creases at the corners of her eyes deepened with worry.
"If you keep making a scene, things will only get worse."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Then, what do you suggest? Are we just supposed to stand by and watch Benson rot in a holding cell? If word gets out that he was arrested for assault, who knows what kind of rumors will spread? He's only twenty-six-this could ruin his life! Theo is utterly ruthless to treat his nephew so cruelly!" Jgritted her teeth in rage, her face contorted with anger.
Liam's expression was grim. The cold night wind bit into his skin, yet his tinto e.
heart feltleven colder. Theo... was merciless.
"No, I can't just sit here and do nothing. I'm going to Gray Manor to see Edward."
With that, Jpulled open the car door and climbed inside ordering the driver to take her to Gray Manor. Liam got in beside her and insisted in a low voice, "We can't go to Dad."
