Chapter 164
That aunt who died who knows where abroad, changed her nationality, can she still get a share of the rural home- stead?
Dream on!”
Tristen, seeing her tight–lipped and silent, became even more smug, “Let me tell you, Dad said all the money and houses after the demolition will be left to me, you won’t get a penny or a tile!
Sending more people to guard it won’t help!”
Lucille remained calm and said quietly, “I hope you persuade our dad to give up this house and all related demolition gains.”
Tristen was stunned at first, then burst out laughing, “What nonsense are you talking?
Not awake yet?
Hahaha, give up?
To you?”
Yvette, is my sister crazy?
Hahaha…”
Yvette also shed her earlier shyness and became bold. “A stingy, greedy woman like you, no wonder Mr. Cedrick doesn’t like you.”
Lucille: ?
?
?
How amusing. That Cedrick dislikes her–even his brother’s girlfriend knows?
“Did he tell you that?”
Lucille asked with bitter amusement.
Yvette pouted. “Mr. Cedrick didn’t need to tell me. Everyone knows he doesn’t like you. Who hasn’t heard how he spoiled his first love like a princess? So enviable…”
“Envious?
Why not try it yourself?”

Lucille scoffed coldly.
“T–try what?”
Yvette’s eyes darted nervously.
“Try seeing if Mr. Cedrick will spoil you like a princess too!”
Lucille smiled meaningfully.
“Wh–what nonsense are you saying?”
Yvette flushed crimson.
Tristen also flushed with rage. “Lucille!
Must you be so vulgar?”
“Me?
Perfectly clean. Unlike some people’s dirty thoughts!”

Lucille pulled a stack of photos from her bag and slapped them on the table. “This man–don’t pretend you don’t know him!”
Tristen paled instantly upon seeing them. “What’s this? Having me followed?”
“Didn’t need to. You two weren’t exactly subtle.”
Lucille drawled. “You call him Gregory Clark, right?”
The photos showed Tristen dining, getting in cars, and walking with a middle–aged man.
“So what? Can’t I have friends?”
Tristen’s lips turned ashen.
Lucille chuckled. “Would I confront you without proof? Of course Gregory’s your friend. Only a friend would earn such trust, right? Only a friend would help you cheat Cedrick’s money?”
“Lies!”
Tristen went ghostly white.
“Listen carefully. Go home now or call Mom and Dad immediately. Sign the waiver giving up Grandma’s house and demolition compensation–notarized. Or I’ll hand all evidence to the police: your money laundering scheme with Gre- gory cheating Cedrick’s company, and supplying substandard materials to damage his interests. Enjoy jail.”
Every word was sharp and clear.
Tristen’s hands trembled around the photos. “H–how… How do you know… Are you even my sister? Setting up your own brother? You-”

“How I know doesn’t matter. If you don’t want it known, don’t do it. Call Mom and Dad! Decide if they come here or you go home to sign.”
“N–no… I won’t…” Tristen shook his head frantically. “I won’t… I don’t want jail, sis…”
“sis” now?
“Call them if you don’t want jail! They dote on you–they’ll agree.‘
“But…” Tristen swayed, pale and unsteady.
“Tristen, Tristen…” Yvette supported him, furious. “What kind of sister are you? Sisters always support their birth family! You should take money from your husband’s family to help yours!”
Which sister doesn’t act this way?
You call yourself a sister?
You heartless monster!”
“Let someone else play the sister role!”
Since nobody in this family ever treated her as human, Lucille fixed her gaze solely on Tristen. “I don’t have time for your stalling. Either make the call or go to jail!”
“I won’t call! And I won’t go to jail!”
Tristen’s legs gave way as he collapsed to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Fine, I’ll make the call myself!”
