RedNovelChapter 212 A Gift "Since he finally has such a chance, of course, he wouldn't pass it up." "Will Mr. Gray agree to it?" Sierra let out a small, knowing smile and glanced at Madison. "Even if Uncle Theo is willing, I'm not. Why should I give William anything? I'm just keeping him at bay so he doesn't hurt my mom again." The mention of Vera made Sierra's expression darken.
"I don't know what he did to her this time. She was ready to divorce him, but then, all of a sudden, she backed out. It's obvious he threatened her again." "That's just disgusting," Madison growled, unable to wrap her head around how a father could be so heartless.

His threats against my mom, the fact that he abandonedI got it all. As long as I have this recording, he won't dare touch her for now." "For now," Madison repeated, her voice uncertain. "But he wants to meet Theo, right? You know you can't keep this from him forever. Sooner or later, you'll have to tell him." Sierra lowered her gaze, feeling a tight knot in her chest.
After a moment, she murmured, "Maddy, am I useless? No matter what I do, I always end up needing Uncle Theo's help. Without him, I can't seem to do anything on my own." Her voice carried a weight of helplessness.
Madison's heart ached seeing her like this. "Don't think that way, Cee. This isn't something anyone could handle alone. You've already done so much. William's the one playing dirty, using your mom to corner you. What else could you do? Besides, Theo's the one who wants to marry you. If that's the case, you two would need to face things together. You're not bothering him-you're in this together." Sierra had no one to rely on, yet she had fought her way this far. That alone was impressive.
"Cee, forget about everything else for now. Just focus on the Marisol Cup competition," Madison advised her, shifting the conversation.
Sierra glanced at her left hand, pressing her lips together.
No matter what, she would give this competition everything she had.

"Cayden, how are you feeling? Any better? You've been gone for days-I was so worried about you." Her eyes locked onto him, filled with concern.
He took a small step back, creating sdistance between them. His voice was calm but distant, "Thanks for checking in. I'm fine now." Hearing how polite he was, Felicia bit her lip, explaining, "Cayden, Benson hit you. What are you going to do? Are you pressing charges?" "Benson already apologized. I'm not going to take it any further." "Apologized? He actually apologized?" She looked surprised.
"Yeah. Sierra made him do it." Felicia's expression shifted. "She probably just didn't want you to press charges. She's just looking out for Benson."
He frowned slightly. "Even if I did press charges, it wouldn't change much. Besides, hit him tob-it wasn't one sided. What Sierra did was the best outcfor everyone. She didn't do anything wrong."
Hearing him defend Sierra, Felicia felt frustrated but didn't press the issue, not wanting to upset him. Instead, him the gift she had she had to prepared.
"Cayden, I got this for you-a good luck charm. It's supposed to keep you safe," she said, offering it to him. "I made the sachet around it myself. I'm still learning from a teacher, but I'm not very good at it yet, so... don't laugh at how it looks."
