Chapter 321 Get the Monetary Gift "Everyone's saying that you were cold and distant. Sof them even said that you were like a robot because you lack any feelings." Sierra chuckled.
"It has never struckthat this is how the public saw you!" Her voice was playful as she looked at him with a big, fat smile.
Theo looked at her and replied warmly, "Don't laugh with your mouth full. You'll choke." Back in Gray Manor, Edward was holding his cell phone as he laughed heartily. He looked relieved when he commented, "Looks like Theo finally gets it!" He was worried that Sierra and Theo merely got together because he pressured them to. From the looks of things, however, he didn't have to be concerned.
Edward looked at the pictures repeatedly, suddenly saying, "Theo matches her well when he stands next to Sierra. He's a major improvement compared to Benson." Talking about Benson made his smile freeze. Then, he sighed. "Sierra was such a decent lady. Why didn't he appreciate her when it mattered?" Back in the Shaw residence, William had been seeing news about Sierra and Theo for days now. His mind raced once more when he saw how happy and blissful they looked in the pictures.

She stopped in her tracks and tried to persuade him. "William, Theo isn't someone you want to cross. Maybe we should just let the monetary gift slide." William noticed that she was trying to stop him. He raised his hand, picked up a throw pillow next to him, and hurled it at her. "You trickedthe last tI asked you to call her. This time, I'm not going to take my eyes off of you until you do it in front of me.
"If the jinx can't getthe monetary gifts, I'll make sure her life is a living hell." "She's your daughter. Stop treating her like she's your enemy," Vera pleaded. William sneered with a sinister gaze. "Cut the bullshit and make the call now." Vera realized she couldn't talk any sense into him. She lowered her head and stopped trying. All she could do was defy him with silence.
At the next moment, he raised his hand and struck her.
"William!" Vera yelped out of pain as she raised her hands and shielded herself. As she did that, her sleeves rolled back, revealing injuries that covered her arms.
Sof them were old, but most of them were still fresh. She was beaten up because she refused to cooperate and ask for stuff from Sierra.
"Are you going to call Sierra?" William got more aggressive, beating and pinching her.
Vera gritted her teeth and endured the beating as tears kept streaming down her cheeks despite her efforts.
Xavier had just returned from school. The moment he stepped through the door, he saw William pinning Vera on the floor and raining blows on her.
He instantly flung his bag aside and hurriedly pulled his father away. "Dad, stop hitting Mom. We can talk this out." William panted heavily. His eyes were slightly reddened, giving rise to a blood- chilling sight.
Xavier couldn't help but take a step back when he saw William glaring at him. When he heard Vera's painful cries, however, he gritted his teeth and steadied himself.

"Dad, Sierra is Theo's wife now. Just think of it as her not being a part of our family anymore Forget about the monetary gift. It's not like we need more money, so you should stop pushing Mom to talk to her." At the next moment, a loud slap echoed in the air.
Xavier clutched his aching left cheek, and his eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe what had just happened.
"William, please don't hit Xavier. He's still so young. Don't hurt him." Vera continued pleading as she picked herself up and shielded Xavier, despite the terrible pain in her body.
William shook her hand away and pointed at Xavier, who was still dumbfounded. He roared, "Stopm trying to bossaround when you're still wet behind the ears, boy. You deserved what I did to you for saying that we don't need more money. Who are you to make such a claim? "You're as idiotic as the piece of trash you call 'Mom.' With pricks like you two living under the sroof, no amount of money is enough.
"Do you two know how much the monetary gift is worth? I could sell you two to human traffickers, and you won't We to fetchthe svalue. Here you are, tellingto give it up. Who's really the crazy one here? You two or me?"
