Sierra's expression shifted slightly as she answered Vera's call. "Hello, Mom,"
"Cee, it's your brother's birthday today. Chfor damer."
"Mom, I've been really busy lately. | already sent my gift for him to the house. I'll cby as soon as I finish

"Cee, you..."
Before Vera could finish, a burst of noise interrupted the call. A few seconds later, William's cold, disapproving
voice cthrough.
"Today is your brother's 20th birthday. Bring Benson with you and chtonight.”

"Don't make excuses," William snapped.
"If you refuse, I'll call Benson myself to see if he's really busy or if it's just you not wanting to cback Have
you been away for so long that you've forgotten the need to cback?”
Hearing the sarcasm and threats in William's voice, Siema's grip on the phone tightened.
She lowered her head, took a deep breath, and forced back the bitterness and hurt rising inside her. She said
softly, "I understand. I'll cback"
“Hmph “William snorted coldly before hanging up.
Sierra let her hand drop limply, her nose tingling as she fought to swallow the lump in her throat. Home? She
hadn't had a real hfor a long time. The Shaw residence had never been her home.
William only wanted her to cback because of her connection to Benson. Without that, she wouldn't even be

“But what about my gift?" Xavier frowned, clearly dissatisfied.
"Even if he didn't come, the gift should have arrived, right? Cee, where's my gift?" Xavier demanded, his tone
completely lacking respect.
Despite being 20 years old, he was spoiled and had no regard for others.
Sierra replied calmly, “I already sent you a gift."
"You sent it? That fountain pen? Who even uses those anymore? It's so outdated. | threw it in the trash Xavier
sneered, his face twisted with disdain. Sierra's hands clenched into fists. That pen had cost her nearly halt a
month's salary, yet he'd casually thrown it away.
“Xavier, you've gone too far! That was a gift from your sister, How could you just throw it in the trash?"
