Anyone could tell that the two houses were of vastly different values, but I smiled and nodded eagerly. "I know my dad has always been the best to me, so let’s do it."
The next morning, I locked my mother at home and went to the transfer center in a grand manner. By the time my mother arrived, the transfer was already complete.
My large flat had been transferred to Brian and Gerald had also transferred the old, small house to me. Everything was settled and my mother fainted on the spot.
But I did not feel any sympathy for her. Instead, I frowned and muttered, "I initially thought I wouldn’t do anything to her because she’s my mother, but seeing her like this now, I can only cut ties for the sake of justice. Otherwise, you, Mrs. Grayson and my brother will never have peace."
Over the next six months, I manipulated and deceived my mother into divorcing Gerald, allowing Vanessa and Gerald to marry and become a family.
To keep my mother from disrupting my father's new family, I forced her to live with me in the old house, threatening to go as far as to die rather than let her cause any trouble.
