Chapter 316 Blessings William's once well-behaved son was now going against him. Hence, William believed that if he did not discipline Xavier now, he would lose his dignity as his father.
Vera understood William, so she knew he was about to hit Xaver. So, she quickly pushed Xavier behind him and mentioned cautiously, "Xavier's still young, so you shouldn't blhim." Confused, Xavier's expression was filled with defiance.
William immediately lifted his fist and punched Vera in the shoulder twice.

"Also, tell Theo to give us one of his projects that will give us a larger profit. I'm his father-in-law. If he dares to go against my word, I'll have them get a divorce!" Xavier never thought that William would actually hit Vera in front of him. His face paled. He wanted to stop William, but he was too afraid, and his body had been frozen in place, unable to move.
Although Vera was reluctant to do so, she still nodded for Xavier's sake.
Seeing her obedience, William was finally satisfied. Before he left, he pinched her arm hard, warning, "You'd better behave at home. If I find out that you've just been pretending, I'll make you pay for it." Once they heard the sound of his car driving off, Xavier, who had been terrified, finally found the courage to speak. "Mom, are you really going to call her to ask for a villa and smoney?" Vera patted his head and replied gently, "You don't need to worry about that. Also, don't cout if this happens again in the future." He nodded his head, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He had finally seen through his father's cold and cruel personality, and all of the love and adoration from the past had been nothing but a lie.
Sierra was still oblivious that the Shaw family was in chaos after she had gone public with her marriage. She was currently walking through the campus, receiving countless blessings from everyone else.
"Congratulations. May the two of you have a lifetof happiness together." "Hopefully, we'll hear the news of a baby coming soon!" "Sierra, you and Mr. Gray are such a perfect match. I wish you two will have eternal love." Sierra thanked them all with a smile on her cheeks. She had smiled so much that they ached, and she quickly rubbed them as she let out a deep breath upon entering the piano room.
The sound of someone knocking on the door caused Sierra to frown. She got up to open the door and was shocked to see Cayden before her. "Cayden, do you need something?" Cayden's expression was dark with a look of dejection in his usually soft and gentle eyes.
The second he saw her, regret filled him. Would she not have married someone else so suddenly if he had been braver and told her how he felt about her sooner? Cayden only felt a sharp and bitter pain in his heart when he remembered the countless blessings about Sierra's marriage flooding the internet.

After finding out that they had broken up, he felt relieved and had been waiting for the right tto confess his true feelings. However, the perfect tnever seemed to come, and he wanted to choose a better tand place.
He never thought that he had waited too long. When he found out that his crush was already married, he lost his rationale! He had tasted hope yet ended up losing it. That feeling was ...
Hence, Cayden was filled with mixed emotions as he stood before Sierra with his hands in his pockets. However, he could not say a word. Sierra felt that Cayden was acting strange, but she did not hurry him. Instead, she looked at him patiently.
"Sierra, I actually wanted to tell you something a long tago, but just never found the right tto do so." Clayden looked at the warm, gentle woman before him and finally gathered his courage. At the tone of his voice, Sierra's heart skipped a beat. A bad feeling crept into her heart.
She instinctively tried to stop him from continuing and quickly said "Cayden, I still have to practice the pland now. Why don't we talk next time..." Before she could finish her sentence, he suppressed her disappointment and confessed sincerely, "I like you."
