A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

Chapter 425 The Charm of a Confident Lady

It might've seemed like Melody was getting Sierra out of a pinch, but she was actually reminding Hayley who the thief was.

Hayley glanced at Sierra but didn't immediately reprimand her. Instead, she asked icily, "Did they call you 'Mrs. Gray'? What's your husband's name?"

Displeasure flashed across Melody's face. She detested hearing others address Sierra as "Mrs. Gray," and she certainly didn't like it when people put Sierra and Theo in the same sentence.

"My husband is Theo Gray. Ms. Jenkins, I honestly have no idea how the ring got into my purse. You have to believe me," Sierra responded after some hesitation.

Hayley didn't say anything. She rubbed her ring on her right middle finger and fell into deep contemplation.

Lauren noticed that Hayley seemed to have bought Sierra's explanation and lost her cool.

"Ms. Jenkins, you might not know this, but the Shaw family has been in decline for a long time. She's nothing more than a fallen aristocrat. She might've married herself into the Gray family, but she's still broke."

Hayley instantly stopped rubbing her ring. She raised her head in bewilderment and swept her eyes across Sierra's sapphire necklace. She asked, "Did you just say that Theo's wife is broke?"

Lauren mistakenly thought that Hayley's focus was on Theo, so she hurriedly added, "She's penniless, and that's a fact. Mr. Gray doesn't love her at all. He was forced to marry her because Mr. Gray Senior made him do so."

"How do you know that he was forced to do it?" Hayley asked with a blank face. Lauren looked so desperate that she found her to be absurd.

Initially, Melody was just enjoying the moment, but she could sense what Lauren was about to blurt out. So, she hastily said, "Lori."
