A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 195

Benson bit his lip hard and lowered his head without saying a word.

Janet questioned, "Liam, Benson has already suffered enough. How can you still criticize him? Besides, you can't just listen to Sierra's side of the story. Even if Benson made mistakes, that doesn't mean she's completely innocent.

"Who's to say she hasn't had a change of heart for a long time?"

"Enough!" Liam shot her an impatient look, his voice filled with anger. "It's because of you that he's turned out like this. You always make excuses for him every time he screws up. That's why he never learns to take responsibility."

"And what, should I be like you? Always siding with outsiders and blaming our own son?" Janet retorted indignantly.

"Shut up!" Liam's voice was low and firm, his usually calm face clouded with fury. His dark gaze sent a chill through Janet's heart.

She averted her gaze, feeling a rare trace of fear.

Despite her usual arrogance, whenever Liam truly lost his temper, she couldn't help but feel intimidated.

The rest of the drive home was silent.

As soon as they arrived, Benson grabbed his car keys, ready to leave, but Liam signaled the maids to stop him.

"Did you ignore everything that I just said? You just arrived home, yet you're trying to run off and cause further trouble?"

"I need to see Cee. I want to ask her face-to-face whether she really has feelings for Theo!" Benson gritted his teeth and expressed himself, word by word.

Liam didn't even need to hear more. Just from that response, he knew the rumors were true. His expression darkened even further. "Unbelievable!"

Hearing Liam scolding Benson again, Janet stepped forward, frowning. "Liam, Benson already admitted he was wrong. Why are you still yelling at him?"

Liam cast her a cold glance and sat on the couch in frustration. "Keep coddling him, then. When he causes a real disaster one day, let's see how you clean his mess."

"What disaster could he possibly cause?" Janet muttered under her breath. She then pulled Benson down to sit on the couch, glancing at Liam's furious expression before turning serious.

"Listen, don't get involved with those women outside. They're only after your status and money. Cut ties with that assistant Theo mentioned. From now on, you are not to have any contact with her. Understood?"

Benson lowered his head. "I already made her resign and cut ties with her. I won't make the same mistake again… as long as Cee is willing to forgive me."
