Standing to the side, I was utterly delighted by the whole exchange.

Still, I couldn't help but feel Carter had been a little too polite.

stole my mom's husband. I crossed my arms and retorted, "Aunt Monica, you have some nerve! First, you and now you're trying to steal her son-in-law? What is wrong with you? Can't you get your own man?"

"I didn't... I may not have a marriage certificate with your father, but I truly love him!"

Monica's voice wavered, her tone full of grievance as she looked tearfully at Bill.

Perhaps when she was younger, she might have had some charm, but now? She was old.

Years of excessive connetic procedures had left her face stiff and unnatural, so her attempt at an emotional expression came off downright eerie.

"Dad, how do you put up with her face every day? She looks like one of those wax home you can't even tell if she's crying or smiling."

Bill's face twitched with discomfort. He clearly understood by now that Sadie's fate depended entirely on my decision.

"Zoey, don't be childish. I know I've wronged you and your mother over the years, and I've been trying to make amends. But Sadie is my daughter-I can't just watch her go to prison. If you have any conditions, feel free to state them."

I sat down on the couch, mulling over whether it was better to squeeze some benefits out of this situation or let Sadie rot in prison.

Tipping my fingers lightly on the leather armrest, I noticed Monica's sharp edges had suddenly softened. "Zoey, I understand why you hate me; I deserve that. But Sadie is still your half-sister. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Just please, if you can save her, I'll do anything you ask."

"Aunt Monica, that's all I needed to hear. The harm you and my dad caused to my mom and me over the years can't be erased with a simple apology. If you want to save Sadie, I have a few conditions." ""Name it."

"First, sell all the luxury goods, bags, and jewelry in your house, liquidate everything, including all your savings, and donate it to disaster relief.

"Second, transfer all of Sadie's real estate and assets into my name.

Third, Sadie is to be permanently banned from working in any company under the Gardner Group."

As soon as I listed these conditions, Monica was completely stunned.

had effectively stripped her and Sadie of everything they had, leaving all her years of scheming and effort to go up in smoke.
