A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 432

Vera looked at Sierra in a daze as a mix of emotions washed over her. This was the first time she had seen Sierra this intimidating.

In the past, Sierra would always cry pitifully after she got scolded. Now, however, she had grown up and become an adult who could protect Vera, whose eyes were brimming with relief.

At the same time, Vera's attitude toward William was undergoing subtle changes. She wasn't masochistic. Naturally, she didn't want to be abused by him every single day either.

However, she didn't have much choice. She had to suck it up and endure the abuse to keep Sierra safe. Now that he had a stroke, he could no longer beat anyone up or have any money to spend.

Vera looked at him, thinking about the old days when he would abuse her verbally and physically for no apparent reason. The fear in her eyes was gone, replaced by peace and tranquility.

"Sierra, he's already in this sorry state. He won't be able to hit me anymore. There's no need to worry about it."

William looked at them with disbelief and snarled, "Drop dead, you two. How dare you threaten me and fantasize about controlling me? I'm not afraid of you. I might not be able to rely on you two, but I've still got Xavier on my side. He won't ditch me."

Sierra felt nothing but irony as he lashed out and voiced his reliance on Xavier. Moving aside a little, she cast a glance at the door. She could see the figure hiding outside through the door's small glass window.

Shortly after, she turned her gaze and looked at William again. "Oh, really?"

Her tone was so deliberate that it infuriated him, and his face turned red with rage. He glared at her intensely and used his one good hand to grip the nightstand. After two whole minutes, he finally managed to flip it to the floor.

However, there was only so much strength in one hand, and William simply couldn't smash Sierra with the nightstand. Feeling frustrated, he swept his eyes across the room, searching for the next thing to hurl at her.

"That's enough. Sierra is your daughter. Are you seriously trying to kill her?" This was the first time Vera had raised her voice against him. She simply couldn't take it anymore.

Ever since William woke up and found out that he couldn't walk or eat without assistance, he had been throwing fits of tantrum, throwing stuff, and snarling at everyone.
