Alessia let out a soft, amused laugh. “So that’s why you suddenly dropped by. | figured there must be something
you wanted.”
“He's your cousin, not sstranger,” Magda replied, giving Alessia a slow, appraising look from head to toe,
her eyes brimming with disdain. “It’s only a letter of recommendation. If you want, I'll even pay you a finder’s
fee. Think of it as a little commission.” Her tone made it sound as though Alessia should be honored that she'd
even consider asking her for help.
“Tammie Quincy?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Magda’s chin lifted with pride as Alessia spoke her precious grandson’s name, as if to say, *My
darling boy is so accomplished that even you ordinary people have heard of him.*
But Alessia’s cold snort wiped the smugness from Magda’s face.
“Different fields, different worlds. | wish him luck. These days, it seems anyone can be called a genius. As for the
letter, well, with the way you two carry yourselves, I'm sure you know plenty of people who could help. Maybe
ask them-see if they're willing to put their names on the line. Me? I'm not thick-skinned enough to embarrass
myself for you.”
“Brendan, you really raised quite the daughter, didn’t you?” Hamilton's voice trembled with anger, but instead of
confronting Alessia directly, he turned on Brendan and Karen, as if hoping they'd rein her in and make her
comply.
Brendan's response was calm but resolute. “I can’t take credit. Any success or connections my daughter has,
she’s earned entirely on her own. If anything, Karen and | have depended on Lessie far more than she’s ever
depended on us. It’s getting late, and older folks need their rest. | think it's tfor you to leave.”

he refused to stand by in silence-he wouldn't tolerate outsiders berating his loved ones and still call himself the
head of the household.
“Oh, wonderful. Just wonderful!” Hamilton scoffed. “Karen, this is the man you chose? This is the daughter you
raised?”
“Dad-no, Mr. Quincy” Karen stood up, taking a deep breath, as if gathering every ounce of courage she had.

“I know you've never liked your weak, disappointing daughter,” she began, her voice trembling. “You hated that |
wouldn't marry the ‘perfect’ match you picked out for me-the widower with a kid, just because his family was
supposedly our equal.” Tears welled in her eyes. “But of all the things you've done, what | can never forgive is
that after pocketing the wedding gifts, you hired people to cause a scene at my wedding.”
Karen's voice cracked as she went on. “You calleda traitor to the family-1 accepted that. You called Brendan
a pauper and said | disgraced the Quincys by marrying him. But do you know what he did to have the right to
marry me? Brendan worked day and night to save up for the wedding, bought a house, put it in my name, gave
his family could get you into your precious social circles!”
She was almost shouting now. Brendan silently rubbed her back, trying to comfort
her.
“After the wedding, you took the gifts, took the money, but then shut your doors to us. When we stopped giving,
you called us ungrateful, said we wouldn't last. But you're the ones who cut us off! So why-why is everything
always my fault?”
