Louisa was crying so hard it seemed she might run out of breath.


    Three lives at stake.


    "How could you. Why would you do this? Why?" Louisa cried out in anguish, "What''s so wrong with me as your sister-inw? Tell


    me today, clear, and in, what did | do, what did | say to make you wish me, my husband, and my children to be damned,


    speak up!"


    This was the first time Arabe had ever seen her mother so utterly undone.


    All her grievances, anger, and sorrow. were vented out in this moment.


    At this moment, all Arabe could do was to wipe her tears, gently pat her on the shoulder, and then quietly step back.


    Her brothers, too, passed tissues to their father, their silence speaking volumes.


    "When | married into this family, you received your wedding gift a yearter than | did, but yours was significantly more


    substantial. Even the house you got was more expensive, more luxurious,” Beverly looked up with a touch of sadness and a


    sense of loss, "That was the first time | felt the unfairness from our parents."


    Before Beverly could respond, Cornelia, clearly upset, interjected, "How can you say that? The year you got married, gold was


    priced at $10 per gram. | got you 999 grams, hoping your love with Lucas wouldst forever. The following year, when Louisa


    married into the family, the price of gold had risen to $13 per gram, but | still got her 999 grams—the amount was the same!"


    "No, it''s not the same. The total value was much more in her case!" Beverly''s eyes shimmered with hurt, "You gave me gold


    worth $99,900; you should''ve given her gold at the same price to be fair! And at her wedding, she had twenty more tables of


    guests than | did."


    "That''s because during Louisa''s year, your father and | had made many new business acquaintances. Those friends had looked


    out for our business, and it would have been rude not to invite them." Cornelia hadn''t expected such a trivial matter to be held


    against her for so long.


    "You say Louisa''s vi is nicer and more expensive. | already exined that to you. Before either of the brothers settled down,


    Lucas firstly picked out the vi, stating he wanted to live there after marriage. It was only two years after Lucas bought his vi


    that Keh chose the Lakeview Vi. By then, property prices had gone up, and Lakeview Vi was a new development in a


    prime location.”


    "But the area he picked was a full 200 square metersrger than ours." Beverly said through tears.


    "That''s because that vi came with arger yard, with extra space included.” Cornelia never imagined that even the size of the


    house would be a sore point for so many years.


    Later, Keh and Louisa, through their own hard work, moved to the Reflections Vi.


    They hadn''t lived in the Lakeview Vi for more than a few years.


    "When | asked you back then, you


    told me any gifts would do, whether


    you were satisfied with the


    matrimonial home, and,if.th


    Phage ako change. | told


    you not to be shy, to speak up. You


    said everything was fine, that you


    loved Lucas. At the time, | thought


    you were a good girl, and we didn''t


    want to shortchange or upset you.


    Just the gift alone, | can say that no


    other family in the city gave as much


    as we did." Please read the original

    Not to mention the gold, there was also cash, a car, a store, and so much more.


    "But Louisa got more." Beverly looked


    at Cornelia, her eyes faintly filled with


    grievous tears, ''l know my


    Fogger a''s are


    different, shees from a


    prestigious family, it makes sense to


    give more. But Lucas and | worked so


    hard after our marriage, we strove,


    yet you didn''t see it." Please read the

    "What do you mean by we ''didn''t see


    it?" Cornelia asked coldly, “Is it


    because we didn''t hand over the


    family business fo you temdndge?


    Eyatyard kibws that the Collins


    family business is traditionally


    handed down to the eldest son. Even


    if Louisa had five sons, Hans would


    still manage thepany, the


    principle is the same." Please read

    "But Lucas and | are clearly better at business than my elder brother and his wife. Why can''t we manage together? Why can''t we


    inherit thepany and let my brother and his wife take dividends?" Beverly asked grievously.
