Greed Under The Independent Mask

Synopsis

I had always been kind to my daughter-in-law, Emily Warren. When she went into her postnatal confinement, I gave her 150 thousand and covered every expense. At the party to celebrate my grandchild's birth today, I brought a gold pendant as a gift. But Emily's mother, Emma Warren, snatched it and threw it on the floor. "Keep your filthy money," she snapped. "My grandson is too precious to wear anything from an outsider." I looked at my son, Michael Hamilton, stunned. He turned away, avoiding my eyes. "Mom," he said, "Emily believes in being an independent woman. She wants the baby to carry her surname, Warren. From now on, I'm part of the Warrens." Emily stepped forward, chin raised, and announced to everyone watching, "A gold pendant means nothing. Your villa and your company will belong to me soon. This is what a woman's awakening looks like." I stared at their smug faces, so angry that I almost laughed out loud. Without another word, I revoked every share authorization I'd granted. "Since independence and awakening are so important to you," I said, "I'm sure you don't need any financial help. Now take your child, leave my house, and don't expect a single cent from me ever again."
