Chapter 2
Samuel clearly was used to bossing me around, pulling out his boss–to–employee attitude. “What are you talking about! That’s not for you to take!”
I nodded and stood up. “Alright then, I can see you don’t really want me to acknowledge you as family, so I won’t.”
I actually started walking away.
Chloe frantically stopped me.
After all, they were old money. News that their child had been switched at birth was already spreading.
If people found out I hadn’t actually returned to the family, it would look bad for them.
She said, “The shares issue needs discussion. We’ll give them to you eventually.”
I replied, “No, give them now.”
Were these adults really trying to stall me?
Samuel frowned. “Stop being ridiculous!”
“Look, we’re blood relatives, you won’t even let me come home, and you won’t give me any compensation. What’s the point of this fake press conference? I bet these reporters are in your pocket anyway. I’m leaving.”
“Megan!” Sophie called out, her eyes red and watery as she bit her lip. “You misunderstood! I was just worried you wouldn’t adapt to
the new environment that’s why I suggested you stay at the rental first.‘
”
I laughed. “Miss, only rich people can’t adapt to poor people’s houses. When do poor people not adapt to mansions?”
Sophie’s eyes got redder, tears threatening to fall. “I’m… I’m sorry. I will let you come home…”
Samuel stepped in front of her. “If you can’t speak properly, keep your mouth shut.”
“What’s it to you?”
Samuel froze.
I was his go–to person for everything – smiling through gritted teeth while mentally telling him where to shove it.
“Mr. Sullivan, you’re my brother now. Is it appropriate to use that employee tone with me?”
Samuel frowned.
I walked past him to look at the still–crying Sophie. “Miss, you don’t need to look so wronged. After all, I should’ve been coming home
since birth.”
