HappyNovelChapter 298 Stir Up Trouble For the first time, Sophie raised her voice in the Gray residence, drawing surprised looks from everyone around her.
Benson withdrew his gaze, looking cold and emotionless. "Why are you yelling? If you have something to say, just say it." She felt stifled, her anger boiling inside, but she didn't dare lose her temper-she couldn't risk provoking Benson.

Since she couldn't lash out at him, she redirected her frustration toward Sierra. "Aunt Sierra, you and Benson have both started new lives. It would be best to keep your distance from each other to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. Don't you agree, Uncle Theo?" At the end of her remark, she deliberately dragged Theo into it.
Sierra's expression darkened as she responded coolly, "I'm not guilty at all. If you're worried, then you should keep an eye on him." Ignoring Sophie's anger, she turned to Edward with a smile. "Edward, I have other commitments on their wedding day, so I won't be able to attend. As for the dress fitting, I'll pass." Benson's wedding would be filled with Gray family business associates and friends of the couple. Without a doubt, people would bring up her past relationship with him.
She wasn't avoiding it out of heartbreak. She just didn't see the point in walking into a room full of gossip. Sophie was delighted by Sierra's tactfulness, tilting her chin up as if she had just won a battle as her hand rested lightly on her stomach.
Benson hesitated for a moment, his lips slightly parted, but in the end, he remained silent.
He didn't want Sierra at his wedding, because he feared that the moment he saw her there, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from running away.

Benson's face tensed, his fists clenching at his sides. When he saw Sophie looking indifferent, completely unaware of the consequences, he cursed her stupidity in his heart.
Edward had long since retired. The one who truly represented the Gray family now was Theo. If he refused to attend the wedding, what would others think? "This is nonsense. Benson is getting married-you, as elders, must attend and offer your blessings." Edward's tone was firm, his expression stern as he directed his displeasure at Sophie. "The past is in the past. There's no need to bring it up again. Sierra is Theo's wife, and you two must respect her." Ignoring their reactions, he affectionately patted Sierra's hand in reassurance. "Sierra, don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, no one in this family will dare bully you. If they show you any disrespect, you have every right to discipline them." Sierra sighed out of helplessness. "No one's bullying me. I just really don't think it's appropriate forto attend their wedding. Why don't I..." Before she could finish, Edward interrupted her loudly, "How is it inappropriate? You're their aunt, and you and Theo are legally married. You must go!"
Seeing how worked up he was, she didn't want to upset him furtherm Reluctantly, she nodded. "Alright, I'll listen to you. Don't get upset. Let's continue with the dress fitting." Edward was appeased and let out a sigh in his heart. "What a wonderful woman -Benson was truly undeserving of her." He then turned to Theo with a serious expression. "You must go, too." Theo remained composed, and his gaze rested on Sierra. "If Sierra goes, I'll go."
Sophie didn't understand why Edward insisted on having Sierra at ΠΙ the wedding. She convinced herself it was favoritism toward Theo and his wife, and resentment flared in her chest. She looked aggrieved.
Seeing her narrow-minded display, Edward began to regret this marriage. She wasn't even officially married yet and she was already stirring up trouble. Once she becBenson's wife, she would surely beca disruptive force in the household. But what choice did they have now? They already had a child on the way-what else could be done?
