Chapter 125 

 Grd’s POV: 

 Noah’s eyes shot wide opened as I continued tough. Who the hell did these people think they were! Even if I hadn’t heard that despicable conversation, to think a mere

 forced apology was enough…ridiculous.

 “Grd, why won’t you ept mom’s apology?”

 “Why would I? or better yet…why SHOULD I?”

 Before Noah could answer, both Cole and Brian walked into the foyer along with Olivia. My eyes cut over to her causing her to stare nervously at the floor.

 Noah then scoffed.

 “You’re pushing it Grd. You had your little tantrum <ist night. It’s time to put this whole thing behind us and move on.”

 I scoffed as Iughed even louder.

 “Why should I move on when I don’t even know who set me up.”

 Noah’s face paled. The others may not have known, he most certainly knew the culprit

 was Olivia.

 “Grd, that’s not what’s important-”

 “It’s not. So, you’re telling me someone that stole from our parents and also tried to set me up, it’s not important that we find out who that is?”

 The color in Noah’s face began to drain. He knew there was no logical exnation behind his response. Suddenly, Olivia walked forward, the usual tears in her eyes.

 “Sister, I feel like this is all my fault.” 

 I couldn’t help but chuckle at this poor performance. Scoffing, I responded.

 “It is your fault.”

 Olivia’s eyes widen; she wasn’t aware I knew she was the one setting me up. Both she and Noah’s face began to pale, wondering where I was going with myment. Before she could respond, Brian immediately intervened.

 “Grd! How dare you me Olivia!” 

 Jackass.

 “Oh? Then it was you that set me up?” 

 Brian’s eyes widen with fury, it was bad enough I med his precious Livie, but now I was ming him.

 “What the fuck did you just say!!”

 “You heard me. Since you’re so convinced it wasn’t her, perhaps it was you.” 

 Brian was about to charge at me when Noah blocked him.

 “Grd! Stop this now!” 

 Suddenly, Cole spoke up.

 “Grd, I know you’re still upset about <ist night but to think that any of us is a thief is not only absurd, but it’s cruel and unfair. Especially Livie.”

 Ha! The nerve of this gang of jackasses! The irony almost turned this into aedy show.

 “So, it’s cruel when one of you are used but normal when it’s me?”

 Cole’s eyes flickered as guilt began to seep through. This family was so far gone, I wasn’t even sure if they fully understood anymore how screwed up they were.

 Brian pushed Noah’s hands away, as he began to sneer.

 “Livie wasn’t raised by a criminal! Can you say the same thing!”

 I could feel my heart tighten up as he ndered my mother’s name. Before I could. respond, Noah yelled.

 “That’s enough Brian!”

 Brian nced at Noah with irritation, but he chose not to challenge him. Instead, he looked as me with a smug smile thinking he’d had me.

 “I’m not sure if she was raised by a thief, but liars are definitely in full bloom here. So, by all means, celebrate your academic sess, your business sess, your musical and art creations as everyone praises how magnificent the Rochesters are.”

 With that, I turned to leave. I was through with these circus clowns.

 Noah’s POV: 

 I turned to re at Brian. As usual, he’d gone too far.

 “What exactly are you trying to do!”

 He walked over to me, fury in his eyes.

 “I know you’re not ming me for this! She used Livie of-”

 “Livie DID do it!” 

 The words came flying out of my mouth before I had a chance to stop them. Originally, I had no intention of telling my brothers, I was merely going to speak with Livie personally. Livie walked over to me, tears in her eyes.

 “Noah, why would you say that.” 

 I could never stand to see Livie cry, all I wanted to do was hug her and apologize, but I

 needed to be stern so that she wouldn’t make any more mistakes.

 “Livie, Mom already told me you were the one that gave her the ne.” 

 Brian instantly jumped in.

 “So, what! Obviously one of the maids-”

 I held my hand up interrupting Brian’s protest.

 “There’s no way a maid would have been able to give Livie the ne before or after the

 move.” 

 I looked at my sister, her eyes flooding with tears, she held her head down.

 “I’m so sorry.” 

 Sobbing loudly, she wrapped her arms around me tightly.

 “Please Noah! Forgive me! I didn’t mean for it to go that far! I was just so mad at her for using me of being pregnant! My virtue means everything to me!”

 Loud sobs began to choke Livie as she cry harder. Brian and Cole came rushing over, we all hugged and supported our Livie.

 “Livie, it’s okay! What’s done is done. Grd will just have to get over it.

 “But what if she doesn’t Brian! What i–if…if” 

 “She will Livie! We’ll make sure she does!”

 Cole tried his best to reassure her. We all hated seeing our sister in distress, I would have

 to find a way to make sure Grd forgave her.

 Grd’s POV: 

 I arrived at the coffee shop about 9:30am. The events from that morning still had me agitated. I needed to calm myself down. I ordered myself an iced carameltte and waited for the attorney my new Grandad appointed me.

 After I left the estate, Teddy called me back letting me know what his n was.

 “Granddaughter! Were you able to get my message.‘

 A bright smile formed on my lips as I waited for my rideshare.

 “I did! Though I was a little confused.” 

 I could hear Teddyughing slightly.

 “Well, I most certainly assume so, but I assure you…it’s full proof as long as you do exactly as 

 I say!”

 I listened to Teddy as heid out the n for me, he was right…it was good!

 Now, I sat waiting for the attorney to arrive. My father–inw hired someone directly

 from his firm.

 Thirty minutester, a tall older woman with blonde hair walked into the café. She had

 the kind of face that was beautiful but stern. You could tell she was no nonsense. She

 removed her sses, her short blonde hair ruffled as she slid them to her head. She

 looked around the café until she spotted me. I’d told Teddy to let her know I would be wearing an olive green dress with thin straps. As soon as she spotted me, she smiled. As

 she walked over, I immediately stood up. Reaching out her hand, she introduced herself.

 “Grd Rochester?”<fnae50> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find[f]ovel</fnae50>

 I smiled and nodded.

 “Please to meet you! I’m Erin Mascow, your new legal counsel.”
