Chapter 4

Dad wasn't tall, but standing in front of me now, he was like a wall. He shouted at my uncle:

"Your business failed—what does that have to do with me? That money was for my daughter's education. I'm divorcing your sister. I have no obligation to help you anymore."

At the word "divorce," a calculating gleam flashed in my uncle's eyes.

"Divorce? Grace never mentioned that to me. If you're getting divorced, you'll have to split assets, right? This house, the car, the savings... my sister gets at least half!"

Dad laughed in disbelief.

I stepped forward with a smile.
