    "Grandpa."


    "Enough, don''t you dare refuse! Otherwise, I will get mad. You know I haven''t fully recovered." Darren


    said, breaking into a feigned cough for emphasis.


    But Arabe was no fool. She could see right through his act.


    "Your uncles have their own businesses. They''re set for life. When i pass on, everything will go to you.


    If you''re shying away from a small token now, what will you doter? Just hand it over to someone


    else?"


    "Grandpa."


    "Our family owes you so much already. Consider this a chance for me to make it up to you."


    Darren said this and coughed deliberately once more, waving his hands dismissively, "No more talk, I''m


    out of breath. I need to go in and rest.


    Holding the wooden box in her arms, Arabe watched her grandfather''s retreating figure, filled with a


    mix of amusement and affection.


    "I''ve caught wind that Calvin and Arlen are selling their properties, some at half price, just to gather


    more cash to take with them."


    Eunice had long been aware of their intentions, speaking coolly, "Because Dad gave them only two


    days, they''re rushing to liquidate. They need a buyer to pay in full, immediately transfer the money into


    their ounts. I applied some pressure, so no one dared buy their stuff. Then I got some people to


    push down their prices even further. In the end, I bought the two most valuable mansions and a string


    of shops in the town center at a bargain. The rest, if they couldn''t sell, would have to be put under


    Dad''s name when the time was up."


    On hearing this, Serena realized that the wooden box, which Grandpa had insisted Arabe take in the


    garden, contained the unsold houses, shop keys, and luxury car keys of her rtives.


    A wave of jealousy surged through Serena''s heart!


    They had already rewarded Arabe with close to ten million dors, wasn''t that enough? And now she


    was getting more?

    What about her?


    Did she get anything?


    Didn''t anyone care about how she felt?


    At that moment, watching Arabe carry the wooden box upstairs, Serena felt a murderous jealousy.


    Even though her grandparents had just proimed fairness in front of everyone, their favoritism was


    now tantly obvious!


    "Serena, Serena? Are you listening to me?"


    Eunice''s voice snapped Serena back to reality, and she offered a strained smile, "Aunt Eunice, what


    were you saying?"


    "Go upstairs and change. I bought some new clothes for your grandma, take her to try them on. We''ll


    meet in the living room in about half an hour."


    "Okay.


    Serena couldn''t remember how she made it back to her room, only that she had passed by Arabe''s


    room and noticed it wasrger and more beautiful than hers.


    Maybe it was the sting of pride that led her to take out her phone and dial a familiar number almost


    subconsciously.
