His words were just for show, a facade to make it seem like he wasn’t depriving me of anything. He was just being fair, claiming that hillamme and I should get equal shares.
He wanted Grandma’s shares, not mine.
He probably assumed that everyone was as stupid as he was. He’d be better off being blunt about his greed.
Jeremy’s eyes brightened. If Grandma refused to give me my shares, then it would naturally fall to him, her only grandson.
He immediately switches sides. Rather than insisting that I give my shares to Julianne, he looked over at Mom, who immediately understood his intentions.
She began spouting nonsense about not forcing Grandma to do anything. She was old, Mom claimed, and having some assets probably gave her a sense of security. The company still belonged to our family, anyway.
Mom loved Julianne and allowed her to take my things, but she drew the line at Jeremy’s things. In fact, she probably wanted me to give Julianne my share so that she would be able to get them for Jeremy in the future.
Jeremy and I were twins, but we had never been treated the same.
Julianne finally lost control of her expression when she heard Mom saying that. She looked. furious.
I laughed.
My family and Julianne were united against me when their interests aligned. But what happened when their interests clashed?
