Chapter 209 Standing Her Ground William was suspicious. He hadn't expected her to agree so easily. His expression changed as he mulled over the situation..
"Sierra, you're playing me, aren't you? You're not marrying Benson-you're trying to marry Theo! I already noticed something was off that day at the Gray Manor. I can't believe you actually managed to seduce him!" His voice dripped with sarcasm.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSierra's expression remained composed. Her tone was as cold as ice. "If I marry Theo, shouldn't you be happy? He's the one who controls Gray Corporation. Benson isn't even part of the company. If your goal is to useto climb up the Gray family ladder, Theo is clearly your best bet." William still had the sexpression, disagreeing, "I'm not letting you marry Theo. He's too old for you. It's not appropriate." "Keon is old enough to be my grandfather, nearly 40 years older than me, and yet you think that match is perfectly fine? Do you hear how ridiculous you sound?" Her sharp gaze pierced right through him.
William's jaw clenched.
"Theo is Benson's uncle. If you marry him, you'll be humiliating Benson. Besides, what do you even know about Theo? He's a businessman-cold, ruthless, and calculating. He took over Gray Corporation when he was still a teenager. Do you think someone like him actually cares about you? He's just using you for fun, and once he's bored, he'll toss you aside.
"If you had any sense, you'd go back to Benson. That's your best option. If you change your mind now, I can convince him to forgive you." Sierra's gaze remained unwavering. "Cut the nonsense. You're just afraid of Theo. If I marry him, you won't be able to control or manipulateanymore." Her words struck like a blade, slicing straight to the truth.
William's expression clouded over when he realized she had seen through him. He dropped the pretense. "I won't give you the birth certificate. If you want to marry Theo, it's absolutely impossible." Sierra took out her phone and opened a recording app. She played the recording of William's selfish, abusive words from earlier.
This caused William's expression to change immediately. Realizing what she had done, he rushed to grab her phone, but Lyonel quickly stepped in front of her, blocking him.

With fire in his eyes, William snarled, "You little brat! So you were trying to getto say something! Recording me, huh? Delete it right now!"
Sierra's expression was cold as she responded, "So now you're scared? If I release this recording, would you be ruined?" "Do you dare?" he hissed.
She replied with icy calm, "Why wouldn't I dare? Even if you don't end up in jail, you've abused your wife, abandoned your daughter, and tried to sell her off for profit. If I expose everything, I'm sure your reputation will be destroyed, and your career will crash. In the end, everything you've worked for will be in vain!" William's fists clenched, his face turning ashen.
"Sierra, don't forget, the company was built by your grandpa with his hard work. Are you willing to destroy alf of his efforts? Do you want to disappoint him like that?"
