Chapter 27: You Don’t Trust Him?
"Isn’t this house a bit too expensive?" Amber asked, glancing around.
"Is it?" Evelyn blinked at her. "I thought you would like it."
Amber smiled softly. "I do like it. I’m just worried about the huge amount of money you spent on it."
"Oh, that’s not a problem. You’ll be staying here for a long while. I just want you to be comfortable."
Her smile stretched wider and she leaned in asking, "Have you gone to TDG company?"
"Yes." Evelyn nodded, crossing her legs. "Preston pitched his idea to all the shareholders, well, except Zayne. They were all against me, cornering me to give the corporation to him."
"And you didn’t?"
"Why would I?" she scoffed. "Amber, you’ve known the relationship between my father and me. He’s always been the hardest on me for no reason. Poured his anger on me, blamed me for everything, and punished me for the wrongdoings of my siblings. Isn’t it weird that he gave the corporation to me? Do you really think that he gave it to me because he thought I was more capable?"
Amber narrowed her eyes, forehead wrinkling in thought. "It seems like it."
"What?"
"Look at it from this angle. Your father has been known not to play about TDG or his work. He doesn’t mix personal feelings with work. Do you really think he would give TDG to you just to spite you? Be honest with yourself."
