Chapter 104 Letting Go For Good "I chere today to settle things between us once and for all. You're the one
who brought all these people into it. You're the one who dragged them into this mess."
Sierra's voice was calm, but her eyes were like a frozen winter night—cold, sharp, and completely devoid of
warmth. She looked at Benson with an icy stare that sent a chill straight to the bone.
She stood up and walked toward the door.
She was done with all of this—these people, this situation. None of it was worth her tanymore.
As she stepped away, Adrian and his men entered, pulling Benson aside while the bodyguards pinned Sophie to
the floor as she struggled.
"Benson! Benson, help me!" Sophie screamed in sheer panic, but Benson was held down, unable to move,
completely powerless.
"Uncle Theo, you can't do this! I'm your nephew!" he shouted, his voice laced with anger.

However, Theo acted like he hadn't heard a thing and strode out of the room without a second glance.
Stepping out of the hotel, Theo spotted her sitting on the steps outside. Under the moonlight, she tilted her head
back, staring into the dark sky. Faint streaks of dried tears still marked her face, and at that moment, she looked
small, fragile, and heartbreakingly alone.
Theo clenched his fists, then slowly walked over to her.
"You okay?"
His voice was low, careful—like he was afraid of startling her.
Sierra lifted her gaze to him and gave a faint smile.
"I'm fine."
Theo watched her smile, but instead of easing him, it only made him frown slightly. His voice was dry as he said,
“If you're not okay, you don't have to pretend you are.”
Sierra shook her head, letting out a soft laugh. "I really am fine. Because today, for the first time, | truly stopped
caring about Benson."
A flicker of something unreadable flashed in Theo's eyes as she continued, her voice gentle but certain. "To be
honest, | still held onto shope these past few days. | kept thinking about the good times we had, replaying
memories of how things used to be. But today... today maderealize it's over for good.
"I loved the person he used to be the good-hearted, carefree guy who shared everything with me. The one who

"I never doubted that he truly cared aboutback then, but that was a long tago. | don't know why he

just lost interest.
"But when two people bring out the worst in each other, it just means they're not meant to be. I've known that

together, to the version of him | had in my memories.
"But today... today finally madelet go. It pulledout of the past for good. Honestly, | should be thanking

As she spoke, a faint smile appeared on her face.
There was no sadness, no resentment—just pure calm, like still water, clear and undisturbed.
Theo looked at her, then gently ran his hand over the back of her head. His voice was low and soft, filled with
quiet warmth.
"Forget all the pain from the past and start fresh."
Sierra lifted her head and looked at him. Under the moonlight, his sharp features carried a quiet, almost jade-
like warmth. There was a softness in his eyes-subtle but unmistakable.
She nodded firmly, smiling. "Uncle Theo, I'll do my best."
A rare curve touched Theo's lips.
"Uncle Theo, how did you know | was here? Don't tellyou just happened to run intoagain," Sierra said as
she stood up, tilting her head in curiosity.
"It was your friend," Theo replied. "They sent a message to Adrian, worried you might be in trouble, and asked
