Chater 10 His raised hand trembled slightly before landing on her slender waist and tightening slowly.
Dressed in a champagne-colored silk gown, Sierra felt the heat of his palm. She froze momentarily, realizing how
bold her actions had been.
In a panic, she tried to pull away from his embrace, but the strong hand around her waist held her even tighter.
She looked up and locked eyes with him. Their gazes met, and his deep, dark eyes were like an endless pool of
ink, unreadable.
The air thickened with unspoken tension. It was so quiet that even the drop of a pin could be heard. Suddenly,
her phone rang inside her bag, shattering the stillness.
Sierra hurriedly fumbled for her phone to silence the call, but the sound had already reached outside.
"Sierra, | heard that! You're in there! Cout now!" Benson's voice was filled with barely restrained anger.
Sierra frowned slightly and replied coldly, "I've nothing to say to you. | don't want to see you."
Benson's handsface turned red with rage at her response. "You pushed Sophie and left without a word. Now,
cout and apologize to her, or I'll never forgive you!"
Sierra let out a bitter laugh, though her eyes betrayed her with tears that welled up but didn't fall.

knock sounding dull and forceful.
"Mr. Gray, I'm fine. It's just a scratch. It doesn't even hurt. Please don't make things difficult for Sierra anymore."
Sophie had followed him over. Her heart was full of gratitude for Benson's actions on her behalf. She walked up
to him and spoke in a soft, fragile voice, deliberately showing him the injury on her palm that she had inflicted
on herself.
Sure enough, when Benson saw the redness and scrapes on her hand, his anger deepened.
In Benson's eyes, Sierra had truly crossed the line.
"She hit you yesterday and pushed you today. She must apologize," Benson fumed, then turned to the closed
door and spoke in a low, commanding voice.
"Sierra, this is your last chance. Cout and apologize to Sophie, and I'll forgive your tantrums over the past
two days. Otherwise, even if you beg on your knees later, | won't bother with you anymore."
Benson's voice grew deeper as he turned toward the closed door, speaking with cold finality. He had issued his

He had even given her a chance to back down, and he expected her to take it. However, Sierra lowered her eyes

A tear clung stubbornly to the corner of her eye, shimmering as it threatened to fall. She looked heartbreakingly
fragile, yet fiercely stubborn.
