A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

Chapter 265 Living Together

As Janet opened her mouth to protest again, Edward firmly cut her off.

"Enough. The decision is final. If you have time to argue, put it to good use by preparing for the wedding. The sooner it happens, the better."

Seeing Janet still on the edge of disagreement, he added sharply, "If we wait until her belly starts showing before the wedding, it will be obvious it's a shotgun marriage. That would be even more humiliating."

Janet, who cared deeply about appearances, clenched her fists in frustration. Her gaze hardened with malice as she stared at Sophie's stomach.

Meanwhile, Sierra stood off to the side, observing the scene unfold with quiet relief.

Thank goodness she had married Theo instead. Had she ended up with Benson, she would have spent the rest of her life suffocated by Janet's control.

For a woman capable of so easily discarding her own grandchild, how could she ever show any kindness to a daughter-in-law?

Theo sat quietly beside her, his expression stoic and unreadable.

"Dad, now that everything is settled, Sierra and I will be leaving," he said.

Standing up, he instinctively reached for Sierra's hand, a gesture that caught Sophie off guard.
