Benson's eyes flashed with resentment. He believed that it was Theo's fault. Sierra would not have broken up with him so decisively if Theo had not appeared.
He knew that Sierra did not have anyone else to rely on. That was why he had always taken her for granted, believing that she did not have any other choice but him.
Yet, he had never expected Sophie to fall pregnant or Theo to suddenly appear and pursue Sierra as well.
Throughout everything, Benson still refused to believe that he was in the wrong. In fact, he had blamed it all on Sophie's greed and how she had trapped him with a child.
Of course, he hated Theo the most. He was sure Theo had taken advantage of the situation to steal his girlfriend.
Compared to how lively the Gray Manor was, the atmosphere at the Shaw family was particularly quiet.
William found Vera's company to be dull and boring, so he left early in the morning to be with his friends.
On the other hand, Xavier had been swamped with the collaboration with the Gray family, so he went to work overtime at the company instead.
Vera had called Sierra in secret before returning to her room to rest.
…
At the Yozier bar, William was sitting in a corner booth and talking to someone as he had his arms around a scantily-clad young woman.
Every now and then, the woman would feed him some fruits, and his expression would be filled with satisfaction.
Suddenly, a loud noise sounded from the table behind him, causing him to jump in shock. He immediately frowned and turned around.
The man who had slammed his hand on the table looked excited as he exclaimed, "Mr. Clark, are you for real?"
William's curiosity was piqued, and he swallowed down his complaints.
"I can guarantee you that everything is legit. I got the news from an inside source. I can assure you that you'll only make a profit. You won't lose a dime either," the man, Johnny Clark, mentioned.
Then, he leaned back confidently in his chair, looking as though everything was under his control.
