A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

Chapter 323 A Grave Threat

"Hi, Mom. How have you been lately?" Sierra asked, gripping her cell phone and rubbing her sleeves.

Vera was sobbing, but she forced herself to speak calmly, "I'm doing quite well. What about you? Has Theo been treating you right? Did the Grays make life difficult for you?"

Tears welled up in Sierra's eyes when she heard the concern in Vera's voice. Then, she patiently answered each of the questions.

Meanwhile, Theo reached out and wiped her tears away before gently pulling her into his arms.

Once Sierra was almost done chatting with Vera, she sniffled and went straight to the point. "Mom, did he make you call me?"

She sneered when Vera didn't respond to her. "Pass the phone to him. I'd rather deal with him directly."

When she heard William's voice, she wiped her tears as she asked icily, "Did you hit Mom again?"
