Before she could finish, William struck her hard across the face, sending her crashing to the floor.

Vera gasped in shock and rushed to her, trying to help her up. "Cee, are you alright?"

"Don't help her!" William jerked Vera aside, his impatience evident.

He looked down at Sierra, who was still lying on the floor, and sneered. “You ungrateful child! Do you really want to milnour family? Do you have any idea how badly the company is struggling right now?

"Without the Gray family's support, we're done for And at such a critical moment, you break up with Benson? Are you trying to destroy the company?

"This is what you owe the Shaw family!" William's voice dripped with disdain and resentment. “If it weren't for you, how could the Shaw family have fallen so far? The only reason I let you live is out of respect for your grandfather.

“If you don't marry into the Gray family and save the Shaw Group, how can you face your rgrandfather? Sierra's mind flashed to Hobby's kind, gentle face. Her nose tingled, and tears threatened to tall.

She opened her eyes and said, "If Grandpa were still here, he wouldn't force me."
