Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1387

Viola knew that Alana had misunderstood, but she wasn't in a hurry to explain. Her mind was too clouded with confusion.

She closed the door and carried the medicine over. "Mom, drink the medicine first. We'll figure out the rest slowly."

Evelyn shook her head and looked at her daughter with weary eyes. "Viola, be honest with yourself. How has your older brother treated you all these years?"

"You're wrong. That money came from Isaac. He may not acknowledge us, but he has been working tirelessly for us these past days," Evelyn replied.

"Even if the money came from him, we have no right to ask him to give it to Oliver," Viola said.

Evelyn's face tightened, and with clenched teeth, she finally spoke the truth, "That money... it isn't his. When he returned, Zoey suggested giving him some compensation. So, we transferred some estates and shops to him."
