Chapter 36

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about that.” Katie suddenly changed the subject. “Jodie, you and Benjamin are both your grandpa’s grandkids. Since he paid for

Without waiting for Angeline to respond, she continued, “Jodie, can’t you help persuade your grandpa? We’re family, and we really don’t want things to escalate to the point of tarnishing your grandpa’s and your reputation on television.

“Isn’t your grandpa a college professor? If this gets out, it’ll ruin his reputation as an educator.”

Angeline’s face darkened. “What do you want?”

“I heard that colleges provide a house for professors, right? Tell your grandpa to transfer the ownership of the house to Benjamin. If he doesn’t have one, ask him to buy Benjamin a villa in Oceanford. Also, buy a car worth half a million for him.” Katie started making requests.

“It’s not that we want the car, but this is the bride’s family’s request. They also asked for wedding gifts worth 660 thousand dollars. Your mom is your gran Benjamin?

“If your mom knows that he holds onto so much money and doesn’t help Benjamin, even avoiding him, she won’t rest in peace in heaven.”

“You tortured my mom and caused her death! If Mr. Lawson Senior helps you, then she’ll truly not rest in peace. “Angeline spoke calmly.

“This time, we took 30 thousand dollars from the Morgan crip. We promised to bring Jodie back to bear kids for him. If you kill her, we’ll have to compens

“This worthless bitch is alive because of me, so I have the right to decide if she lives or dies!”

After roaring at Juliet, George commanded Angeline on the phone, “Call the Lawson old man now. If he doesn’t give Benjamin the house, wedding gifts, and a car, I’ll kill you! You shameless slut who tries to covet your brother’s inheritance!”

George’s voice dripped with malice, a chilling reminder of the mistreatments Angeline and her mother endured in the cellar. It starkly contrasted with his
