Chapter 196 So Ungrateful

Officer Jackson’s brow creased, and he looked like he was about to say something but then

thought better of it. After a beat, he asked, “Have you ever met this Silvana big shot? Did

you notice anything off about him?”

I shook my head. “Nope, what’s up?”

He bit his l*p and took a deep breath, talking more to himself, “Maybe I’m just reading into

things too much.” He paused, then decided, “Okay, go see your sister.”

I had this nagging feeling he was holding back something he wanted to say, but it seemed

like he thought it was not quite right to voice it.

I was curious, but I did not press him for more.

Officer Jackson led me to a small room with a glass divider. It was not long before Moore

appeared on the other side, handcuffs on her wrists. When she saw me, a chilly smirk

danced across her face. She had guessed I would come.

She looked worn out, and I figured it was not just the police station getting to her, but the

strain of a tough pregnancy.

She plopped down across from me and grabbed the intercom with a sneer. “Wow, you

showed up quicker than I thought you would.”

I bit my l*p. There was a time when I felt like she was a real sister to me, but now she had

ruined any warm feelings I once had for her.

I kept my cool and said, “You’re after Dad’s inheritance, and I’m not going to fight you for

it. But Mom’s not in Lake City right now, so I can’t call the shots.”

She arched an eyebrow. “You’re not going to fight me? You’d really let me have a piece of

the Scotts‘ fortune?”

Her eyes were full of scorn, but I kept my face blank. “Look, when Mom and Dad adopted

you, they meant it. They treated you like their own. So whether I like it or not, if you want

your share, it’s not for me to stop you.”

She let out a bitter laugh. “Their own daughter? Nice try, Yvette. If they really saw me that

way, why did they always keep me at arm’s length? You got all the good stuff–first pick of

everything at home, the best schools, the top jobs, and even the best guys to marry. They

might have called me a Scott, but they were always scared I’d outshine you. They set you

up with cars and houses… but what did they ever give me?”

I watched her, her face a mix of hurt and defiance, and I just could not take any more of

her

complaints.

Ever since I could remember, my parents had always treated her and me equally, giving

us the same things. Even though she was older, Mom always seemed to give her a bit

more.

Chapter 196 So Ungrateful

2/2

Our schools were a different story, as they were chosen based on what we passed the

entrance exams for fair and square. Choosing to work at the company was all me. She, on

the other hand, landed a gig at Young Corporation after graduation. Dad thought she had

better prospects, so he never pushed her to join the family business. Then, out of the blue,

she got tangled up with Noah and ended up marrying the guy. Noah was a big deal in Lake

City back then, but shortly after their wedding, his empire crumbled, and they both left the

country.

She left just as I was graduating. Thanks to her selling me out five years prior, Dad was on

my case, so I was thrown into the company trenches the minute I got my diploma. Me

marrying Mr. Perfect? That was a joke.

When Scott Corporation hit the skids, dad did not think twice about using me to seal a

deal with a marriage alliance.

In her eyes, it did not matter what our folks did, or what I did: she would find fault with it

all.

I did not want to fight, but I could not hold back. “Moore, let’s be real. The biggest mistake

our parents ever made was adopting you. Even pet dogs know how to be thankful. It’s no

wonder your own folks ditched you.”

“Yvette!” Moore’s eyes blazed with fury as she snapped back at me, “Shut your mouth!

What gives you the right to judge me?”

I was used to her fiery temper by now. Through the thick glass, I watched her fall apart

with a cool detachment. “Moore, you and I both know I’m no saint. I don’t forgive and

forget, especially the dirty tricks you’ve pulled over the years. I heard you might be locked

up for a couple of years. Honestly, that’s way too short for me. But no worries, I’ll wait.

We’ve got plenty of time.”
