Siema said, “But even if you report it to the police, it'll just be ruled as mutual assault-a family dispute that will be brushed off. Nothing substantial will be done.”noveldrama

“Then, let him feel immense pain." Theo, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke. His voice dropped to an icy tone, every word carved out of frost, sending achill downeveryone's spine.

“Do you want his hand or his leg broken? He kicked you with his foot-how about we break his foot?” His tone was casual, but the words sent shivers down

everyone's spines.

Sierra's lips trembled slightly. She looked at his cold, blade-sharp gaze and realized he wasn't just speaking casually. If she nodded, he would likely carry it out

without hesitation

Her emotions were complicated-anodd warmth spread through her chest. It felt as if someone was finally standing up for her. Ever since her grandfather passed, she hadn't felt this kind of protection.

She pressed her lips together and said softly, “Uncle Theo, thank you, but this is my personal matter. I don't want to trouble you. I'll handle it myself."

"How do you plan to handle it?" Theo's thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was low and icy.

She froze, lowering her gaze without saying anything

"Since you haven't figured it out, I'll handle it for you." His cold voice rang out again as he stood up. His gaze carried a faint, dangerous edge.

She quickly grabbed his hand with a trace of panic. “Uncle Theo, Xavier is my brother. My mom treasures him like a gem. If something happens to him, my mom won't be able to take it. Even if she didn't care about Xavier, she had to consider Vera's feelings.

He pressed his thin lips tightly together, and a trace of displeasure flickered in his dark eyes. "Are you that determined to draw a line between us?" he asked, his low voice carrying a subtle sense of grievance.

Sierra's eyelashes fluttered. She released his hand, whispering, "You've already helped me so much on account of Grandpa Edward, and I'm very grateful. But there ate some things I can handle myself. I don't want to trouble you or waste your time.”

Sierra watched his retreating figure, and her face grew even paler.

Madison frowned, saying, “Cee, Mr. Gray was only trying to help because he cares about you. Why did you turn him down?"

"This is my own issue. I don't want to trouble anyone else,” Sierra replied softly, her gaze downcast. Madison sighed. "Cee, you're way too stubbom. Even I could tell that you were deliberately creating distance between yourself and Mr. Gray with your words earlier. Of course, he would have noticed it too.

"He's been so sincere in helping you, and you poured cold water all over it. If it were me, I'd be upset too. Sierra bit her lip and remained silent.

Madison, being straightforward and incapable of holding back her thoughts, continued, "Cee, I just don't get why you said those things. Even if you didn't want Mr. Gray to take action against Xavier, you could have phrased it differently. There was no need to say something so distant and hurtful.”
