As Tiffany stepped into her home, her mind was still buzzing from Richard’s piercing gaze earlier. ‘Did my lingering glances at Sidney stir something in Richard?”

Everyone in Lovell Gity knew that Richard and Sidney were practically inseparable, their bond something more than friendship. There were even whispers that Richard had no interest in women at all.

‘Could it be… that those two were actually a couple? Tiffany wondered.

The more Tiffany considered this, the more plausible it sounded. If that were the case, could work to her advantage. To secure Richard’s support, she could try to appeal to his preferences.

With this revelation lifting her spirits, Tiffany entered her family mansion in high spirits.

However, as soon as she crossed the threshold, she overheard Selena’s insidious attempts to manipulate her brother.

“Eric, sweetie, you’re your father’s only son. This massive family business-who else would inherit it but you? Your sister wouldn’t survive a day running the company. You need to be careful, or she might try to claim the entire fortune for herself!”

Eric was sprawled on the couch after school, fiddling with a Rubik’s cube, while Selena. droned on beside him.

“Sweetheart, I’m saying all this for your own good. You don’t understand it now because you’re young, but when you grow up, you’ll see how much I care!”

Tiffany leaned against the doorframe, a cold smirk forming on her lips.

‘What a twisted idea of “caring” for someone, she thought.

Every word was designed to create a rift between her and her brother. The irony was that Selena had a completely different story when talking to Tiffany.

Tiffany remembered how she had previously fallen for Selena’s manipulations. She had been convinced that the family business would go to her brother, and after marrying Kenneth, she thought she would be left with nothing as the Harper family’s embarrassing disappointment.

How naive she had been to believe Selena’s lies.

For a long time, she had distanced herself from her brother out of resentment.
