Thea chuckled. "Perfect! Since Mom and Dad gave you that beach house up north, I'll just move in there. Thanks for handing it over."

Emmalie's eyes filled with tears.

Ivy spun around, snapping impatiently. "Why do you always goalter Emmalie's things? That house was her birthday gift. You've worked at Avon Ventures for years. Can't you afford your own place by now?" Thea had grown used to such unfair treatment, but her heart still ached. Keeping her face expressionless, she stood up. Fine. I'll move out. I'll go pack my things,"

Ivy grabbed her arm, holding her back. "No need to rush. If you didn't have my blood, I wouldn't bother with an ungrateful brat like you. You're coming with me to the Hendrix family home." Thea's eye twitched. "Why are we going there?"

Ivy looked at her, exasperated. "When will you grow up? Emmale's been through so much out there. We need to protect her. We owe her that, and so do you, Besides, if Emunalie were in your shoes, she'd never be this selfish," Ivy's favoritism was crystal clear. Thea fought back tears, staring out the window. She realized she no longer wanted to fight for her family's love.

"I'm so sorry Thea caused trouble. She's always been difficult, acting out since she was little, Ivy said over the phone, trying to shift all the blame onto Thea
