RedNovelChapter 219 Wrong Target "Cee, listen to me," Benson pleaded, his brows furrowed. "Right now, the most important thing is for you to recover. It's my fault you got hurt, and I'll do whatever I can to make it up to you. Just don't compete, okay?" His voice was softer than usual, but Sierra still caught the firm, controlling tone underneath.
Her expression turned cold. "What I choose to do has nothing to do with you. Making our breakup public will be good for both of us." "You're in that much of a rush to cutoff?" Benson's voice dropped, filled with unmistakable hurt.
"Not cut you off? Should Cee get back together with you instead? Benson, are you seriously still daydreaming? Do you not understand what she's saying, or are you just pretending? If you actually regret what you did, then stop making things worse. Just clear up the rumors and move on," Madison snapped, her temper barely in check. Benson's jaw tightened. He looked at Sierra for a long moment before finally saying, "Cee, don't worry. I'll handle this. I'll prove to you that I've changed." With that, he cast her one last lingering glance and turned to leave.

I was sure he'd try to drag this out again. I was about to text Lyonel to hurry back." However, Sierra's brows knit together slightly as Benson's last words unsettled her.
"What's wrong, Cee?" Madison asked, noticing her hesitation.
"Nothing... I'm probably overthinking it," Sierra muttered, shaking her head before heading back to the couch. Madison grumbled, "How did he even get in? I thought you told the security guard to keep him out." "The usual security guard is off duty. The replacement probably didn't recognize him," Sierra guessed. Seeing Benson at the door had caught her off guard. She had been worried he'd act out again, but this time, he had been eerily calm. The difference in his behavior left her uneasy.
"At least he left without causing trouble. If he hadn't, I was ready to chase him out with a broom!" Madison declared, puffing up her chest.
As if on cue, the doorbell rang again.
"See? I knew it! Benson doesn't want to give up!" Madison grabbed the broom from the corner, her face full of determination.
"This time, he's getting a proper lesson!" she huffed, storming toward the door.
The second she yanked it open, she didn't hesitate. "You actually cback? Let's see if you can still stand after-" She swung the broom.

The broom fell to the ground, and when Madison saw the man's handsface, her expression immediately stiffened. After staring for a few seconds, she awkwardly hid the broom behind her.
"Mr. Gray, why are you here? I didn't hurt you, did I? I'm so sorry" Madison v.e quickly apologized.
Theo's lips were pressed into a tight line, and he answered in a calm tone, e "Just barely." Madison was incredibly embarrassed. "I'm really sorry, Mr. Gray." She hadn't expected the person standing outside the door to be Theo.
Sierra walked over after hearing the sound. Seeing Theo, she was also slightly
surprised and quickly explained to him, "Uncle Theo, Maddy didn't mean it She thought it was Benson didn't mean knocking on the door." "Benson came?"
