A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

Chapter 397 My Wife

That sarcastic remark made Douglas' face flush. He straightened up, acting as if he wanted a serious conversation, and started talking about Melody's deep feelings for Theo, along with his suspicions about Sierra targeting her.

Theo tossed an expensive pen onto the desk with a thud and leaned back in his chair as his gaze grew colder.

Douglas started to falter and scratched his head before saying, "Just tell me what you want. As long as Melody doesn't have to apologize, I'll agree to anything."

"You do realize that Sierra is my wife and part of the Gray family, right?" Theo's tone sharpened. "Your accusations against her are a slap in my face and a challenge to the Gray family."

Did Douglas think that being his wife only meant representing Sierra as an individual?

She represented Theo and the Gray family.

Of course, that was only true if Theo and the Gray family acknowledged her.

Douglas was surprised. He never expected the always ruthless, emotionless Theo to elevate Sierra like this. "Have you seriously fallen in love with your nephew's ex-girlfriend?"

"She's my wife. Of course, I love her. Who she used to date doesn't matter." Theo's expression darkened even more.

Feeling a little guilty, Douglas rubbed his nose. He had to admit that Simon and Daniel had been much sharper than he was. His tone softened as he pleaded, "Just tell me what kind of compensation you want. As long as the Brown family can manage it, we'll pay for it."
