"Theo, Benson is your nephew." "In the office, we discuss business. If you want to talk about personal matters, we'll discuss it after work at home." Theo's expression turned cold, his tone firm and professional.
Liam clenched his cup tightly, downing the remaining contents swiftly to suppress his frustration. He stood up, looking at Theo. "Theo, stop by for dinner sometime. Benson wants to apologize to you in person." "Alright, I'll cby when I have time." "Good. I'll leave you to your work." Liam exited the office, but the moment he stepped outside, his expression darkened. He never expected Theo to have had the feelings for Sierra.

The car cto a stop, and Sierra unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to Madison. "Maddy, I can handle this myself. Just wait forin the car." "No way, you're still injured. I'll go in with you. What if that jerk of a dad of yours gets upset and hurts you again? I promised Theo I'd take care of you. Honestly, I already feel guilty for bringing you out, but if something happens to you, I think Theo might just peel my skin off." Madison looked at her with concern.
Sierra chuckled softly. "Relax. I know what I'm doing. I still have the competition coming up. I wouldn't risk getting hurt before then. Besides, William knows I'm close to Uncle Theo now-he wouldn't dare lay a hand on me." "William completely disagrees with you and Theo getting married. Do you think he'll give you the birth certificate?" Madison's voice was filled with concern.

Her eyes darkened slightly, but her voice remained calm. "I won't know unless I try." She patted Madison's hand. "Don't worry. I'll be fine." Just as she stepped out of the car, another vehicle pulled up behind them.
Two bodyguards stepped out, explaining, "Ms. Shaw, Mr. Gray instructed us to ensure your safety at all times." Sierra sighed internally. She had deliberately only taken two bodyguards when leaving the house, yet somehow they still followed her here.

The two bodyguards exchanged a glance before one of them spoke, "Mr. Gray only instructed us to protect you, not to monitor you. As long as you're not in danger, we won't report anything." Sierra let out a relieved breath.
"This is my mother's house. I just need to take care of something. There's no danger, so you don't have to followinside."
"Apologies, Ms. Shaw, but we can't do that," one of the guards insisted.
"Mr. Gray specifically ordered that W whenever you leave, at least one of us must stay by your side. If anything happens, it's not just our jobs on the line-Mr. Gray's anger is something we really can't afford to deal with. Please understand."
Madison jumped in before Sierra Sierra, just take one of could argue. "Sierra, them with you. It's safer that way. Plus, it'll givepeace of mind." Sierra sighed, realizing there was no getting out of it.
"Alright," she relented, turning to the bodyguards. "Lyonel, cwith me." Lyonel nodded respectfully and followed her as she stepped into the Shaw residence.
