“<i>Of </i><i>course </i><i>she </i><i>will</i><i>! </i><i>If </i><i>she </i>don’t, <i>we’ll </i>just threaten to <i>disown </i><i>her</i>.<i>” </i>
That was something that always made Grd cave, the thought of no longer having a family again always made her cave into the countless demands of the Rochesters.
Noah shook his head in disgust. In truth, he hated howzy and unexceptional his siblings were. They were the future of the Rochester n and yet they werepletely indulged. But he didn’t have a choice but to go along with their n. Grd was the reason why hended that huge project with thergest real estate firm in North Bay. The meeting for the project was in two weeks and he was nowhere near prepared. He would need her help.
“Will <i>she </i><i>even </i><i>be </i><i>at </i><i>this </i><i>party</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>

Jonathan Brooks asked in an irritated voice. He still fumed at how Grd chose to defend some brainless stranger over him. He could still see the fire in her eyes the day she’d pped him for what
he said about Kai Christiansen.
To make matters worse, Olivia had been getting on his nervestely. All she did wasin and shop. Instead of spending her time studying to make sure she graduated with honors; she spent most of her days wasting time and money. This type of behavior was sure to anger his grandfather.
Everyone assumed his grandfather wanted him to marry Grd because she was the biological daughter, but the truth was, he believed Grd to be the more superior of the two.
“Listen boy, this isn’t <i>about </i><i>your </i><i>personal </i><i>feelings</i>. <i>This </i><i>is </i><i>about </i><i>what can </i><i>elevate </i><i>you </i><i>as </i><i>the </i>head <i>of </i><i>the </i>Brooks n! That <i>girl </i>is a <i>genius </i><i>and </i><i>a </i><i>prodigy</i><i>; </i><i>she’ll </i><i>be </i><i>able </i><i>to </i><i>take you </i>to the next level!<i>” </i>
Patting Jonathan on the shoulder, his grandfather lowered his tone.
“Listen<i>, </i>you know I love <i>Olivia</i><i>…</i><i>but </i><i>she </i><i>isn’t </i>cut <i>from </i>the same <i>cloth</i>. <i>Now </i>you can keep her as your mistress…but Grd <i>will </i><i>be </i><i>your </i><i>wife</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
The day he told his grandfather about Grd marrying into the Christiansen family, his grandfather Isaac nearly had a stroke.
“GOT DAMMIT <i>BOY</i><i>! </i>You control one <i>girl</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
<i>“</i><i>Grandfather</i><i>! </i>It’s <i>nothing </i>I could <i>do</i><i>! </i><i>Calvin </i>wasn’t <i>going </i>to turn down an opportunity to merge <i>with </i><i>House </i><i>Christiansen </i><i>anymore </i><i>than </i><i>you </i>would <i>have</i><i>. </i>Besides, <i>you’re </i>wrong about <i>Livie</i><i>! </i><i>She’s </i>top <i>of </i><i>her </i>

<i>ss</i>! She’s <i>just </i><i>as </i>smart and talented <i>as </i><i>Grd </i><i>is</i><i>.</i>”

Isaacughed at Jonathan. He’d been around long enough to recognize what a <i>‘</i><i>good </i><i>stock</i>‘ was, and he was convinced it was Grd.
“Fine boy. Marry <i>the </i><i>girl</i>. But mark <i>my </i><i>words</i><i>, </i><i>if </i><i>you </i><i>end </i><i>up </i><i>being </i><i>wrong </i><i>about </i><i>this</i><i>…</i><i>I’ll </i>make <i>sure </i>you live to regret it! Also…<i>see </i><i>if </i><i>that </i><i>girl </i>can <i>get </i><i>you </i>a connection to <i>House </i><i>Christiansen</i><i>…</i><i>might </i>as <i>well </i>use <i>her </i>marriage to our <i>advantage </i><i>as </i><i>well</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
When Jonathan learned about the Rochesters being invited to the birthday party, Olivia informed him that he had been included as her plus one.
“<i>This </i><i>will </i><i>give </i><i>me </i><i>an </i><i>opportunity </i><i>to </i><i>speak </i><i>with </i><i>Grd </i><i>about </i><i>a </i><i>merge </i><i>with </i><i>House </i><i>Christiansen</i>.‘
Still, he had his doubts about whether she would even be there. Since her departure, Olivie
constantlyined about how Grd was ignoring her calls and wouldn’t do her homework.
She even suggested the Christiansen’s had her locked away taking care of their brain dead son.
Considering herck ofmunication, perhaps that was true.
“I’m sure she’ll <i>be </i><i>there </i><i>if </i><i>not </i><i>for </i><i>any </i><i>other </i><i>reason </i><i>but </i><i>to </i><i>keep </i><i>face</i>.<i>” </i>
Noah’s answer made sense. Surely House Christiansen wouldn’t do anything to embarrass or bring
shame to their family name. Even if Grd was a mere maid, they wouldn’t show that to the
public.
As the Rochesters and Brooks all schemed on how to use Grd, they failed to notice the storm
that was slowly brewing.
For someone had been recording all of their conversations and would soon help Grd and the Christiansens bring them all down.
“Hey<i>…</i>did <i>the </i>invitation say who’s birthday <i>it </i>is?”
