A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

"If you have a problem, take it up with Ms. Anderson. She told me to bring Sierra here to practice."

A calm, clear voice rang out as Cayden strode into the room. His usual gentle demeanor was replaced with a rare seriousness.

The moment Felicia heard his voice, she stiffened. She quickly turned around, and her heart sank at his displeasure. Her gaze flickered to Sierra—it was filled with resentment and jealousy.

The thing that she feared had truly happened.

Sierra had only just returned, yet she was already catching Cayden's eye. She was still being unruly.

Janice toned it down when she saw Cayden, but there was still annoyance as she glared at Sierra. With a cold scoff, she explained, "Don't be too cocky, Sierra. I will defeat you in the finals of the Marisol Cup. I will never allow you to be my mom's student again."

With that, she spun on her heel and left, the three women trailing after her like shadows.

Only Felicia remained, standing frozen in place.

Cayden turned to Sierra, his voice softer now. "Are you okay?"

Sierra nodded. "I'm fine."

Meanwhile, Felicia's hands curled into tight fists.

He let out a sigh of relief before finally noticing Felicia. He furrowed slightly, asking, "What brings you here, Felicia? Did you team up with Janice to bully Sierra?"

There was displeasure in his tone.

"I didn't! You've got it all wrong, Cayden. I was just heading to practice with Janice, and we happened to pass by here. She saw Sierra and ran in," Felicia quickly explained, waving her handso defensively.

However, deep down in her heart, she was bitter-bitter that Cayden had only noticed her. She grew more jealous of the extent of his care for Sierra.

Still, she feigned a guilty expression and turned to Sierra, softly saying, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. I tried to stop Janice, but I couldn't."

Felicia couldn't read Sierra's calm glance when she lifted her head.

She remembered the girl always with Janice. Back then, she had thick bangs and shoulder-length hair and wore black-rimmed glasses. Standing next to Janice, the girl never stood out.

However, she had long hair, and her bangs were gone, making her look more polished. However, her eyes still carried a twinge of shadow, as if there was something dark lurking beneath the surface.

Sierra barely interacted with Felicia in the past. Felicia was always there whenever Janice caused trouble, but she rarely spoke and never said anything harsh.

However, after years of dealing with social events and business matters for Benson, Sierra had met all kinds of people she could tell, with one look at Felicia, that Felicia was calculated-and not as harmless and easygoing as she appeared to be.

Sierra's tone remained indifferent. "It's fine. It has nothing to do with you."

As if relieved, Felicia exhaled before smiling warmly. "If you ever need help, just let me know. I'll do whatever I can."

Sierra arched a delicate brow. "You're Janice's friend. If you help me, won't she be upset with you?"

Felicia froze for a brief moment, her

mind working quickly. After just a few seconds, she answered, "Yes, Janice and I are friends. However,¶t is because of this that I need to correct when she's wrong. She has misunderstandings about you, but don't worry. I'll explain it to her and try to persuade her not to target you anymore."

She looked sincere—and she even spoke in a genuinely convincing tone. However, despite how convincing Felicia sounded, Sierra couldn't shake a strange feeling in her gut.
