A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 151

Vera had no choice but to give the fruit to a housekeeper. Then, she approached William and took a seat next to him.

"You never order the maids to do anything, Mom. Instead, you've never stopped working around the house. Aren't you tired?" Xavier asked in a puzzled tone, and there was bewilderment in his eyes.

The way he saw it, Vera was doing this to herself. Instead of embracing the wealthy lifestyle, she loved doing the maid's job.

Vera heard the confusion in Xavier's voice and let out a dry chuckle. "I don't have anything to do in the house. It's just to kill some time."

"You can take a page out of all the other wealthy ladies. Get some beauty treatment or hang out at coffee shops. Now, that's a wonderful life."

A hint of sorrow flashed in her eyes, and her hands, which were resting on her feet, clasped slightly.

"Your mom doesn't like doing all that stuff. It's good to stay home, actually. It's something she likes to do, and you should show some respect.

"That's enough. Your mom and I have something to talk about. Go up and play there," William said as if he was defending Vera.

"Alright. Okay. Mom can do whatever she likes. I'll leave you two to it. It's not like I'm interested in your conversation." Xavier got up from the couch and climbed the stairs.

Once the door was closed, the warm expression on William's face disappeared. It turned grim and cold as he set his eyes on Vera, who kept her head lowered.

"You heard what I said earlier. Benson wants to marry Sierra before New Year. This is wonderful for the Shaw family.

"I want you to call her now and ask her to get ready first. I won't tolerate it if she stirred up trouble at Gray Manor."

She wore a troubled expression. "But Cee doesn't want to marry Benson."

"She doesn't get to make that choice. What matters more? Sierra or the Shaw family? You've better get your mind straight!" His expression immediately darkened, and there was absolute rage flashing in his eyes.
