“You can’t do anything right, can you? I told you to live quietly with your grandparents, but you went ahead and caused me all this trouble! You were supposed to be the old man’s only granddaughter, there was no reason for him to not dote on you! What the hell is wrong with you, huh? You brought this upon yourself, letting some nobody take the upper hand. Do you realize that my efforts have all gone down the drain because of your stupidity?”
Johanna felt rightfully aggrieved.
“It’s not my fault, Mom. It’s all because of that Hannah. She never should have shown up.”

“And how long has that bitch been in the White family?!
You were with them for over twenty years! Are you telling me that you can’t even compete with a newcomer?”
“But she was able to cure Grandpa as soon as she returned. She even took over the company. It’s understandable for Grandpa to favor her…”
Johanna shot a look of resentment in the direction where Hannah had disappeared.
“That sly bitch set up surveillance cameras in the house.

“Yes, Mom.” Johanna lowered her head and followed her mother like a lost puppy.
Just as the dishes were being brought out, a tall and handsome man entered the dining hall. A delicate-Looking boy was walking beside him, holding his hand.
“I’m sorry I’m late, Byrum. I was preparing a special gift for you, so I got held up.”
Calvin Vance, Ursula’s second husband, signaled at the servant behind him, who then presented a black velvet box to Byrum.
“This is a 5@-carat, ultra-pure, natural diamond. It’s considered a priceless collectible. I bought it at an auction abroad.”
“Hmm.” Byrum peered at the box’s contents and remarked, “You must have spent an exorbitant amount of money on this.”
Calvin smiled, “It’s nothing as long as I can make you smile.”
“Grandpa!” The young boy called out sweetly as he jogged over to the old man.
Byrum’s face softened. He patted the child’s head, saying, “Now, now.
Be a good boy and behave.”
Calvin picked the boy up and sat him next to Ursula, who looked none too pleased.
