Chapter 981

Molly took another bite of her apple and asked, "So, what sparked the fight?"

Nancy replied, "I had to stand up for a friend."

Molly paused for a moment, then asked, "So what does that make the three of us then? Friends? Enemies?"

When trouble hits, it's all about who can bolt the fastest;

When it comes to punishment, it's about who can pin the blame on someone else;

Blame isn't just tossed around-it's thrown with the whole pot;

If you can take two down with you, don't spare the one who's just watching;

It's not about surviving together, but going down together.

And if we don't go down, at least we're dragging you with us...

Mia and Molly exchanged looks, both at a loss for words. Their relationship, it seemed, couldn't really be labeled as "friendship."

"Could it be, family?" Mia wondered.

Molly nodded, munching on her apple, "I think so. Why else would we trick our dad without flinching?"

They both silently agreed it must be a family thing. "Five million isn't much for you, so why the long face?" Jade, also munching on an apple, asked. Mia handed her a "family rule" document.

Jade snapped a picture and shared it in the family group chat.

"Why though?"

"What's the reason?"

Molly: "Maybe my Andre doesn't see you three as people."

Henry, still as naive as ever, waited at the door every day for dad to come home, running out the moment he heard the car.

Everyone felt the truth was too harsh and didn't have the heart to tell him his place in his father's heart.
