“If they look down on us so much, there's no need to force themselves to call the way here.”
“Hmph! Of all people, why did we have to invite that ungrateful brat?” Magda grumbled, snatching up her purse.
Hamilton rose too, face dark with irritation.
The butler followed silently behind them, not uttering a word.
The once pleasant atmosphere had soured. When Brendan cinside, he found Karen already asleep, her
breathing calm and even. He let out a weary sigh and quietly called Alessia out to the hallway.
Alessia closed the bedroom door gently behind her. “Mom was exhausted today,” she said softly. “She just wiped
her face, sat for a moment, and fell right asleep.”
“lI see,” Brendan nodded, sighing again.
“They're gone?” Alessia asked.
“Yes. They're always like that-always wanting to sound cultured, but in the end, all they care about is money.
Ever since your grandparents passed, the Quincy family hasn't been the same. You shouldn't let them get to you.
If they ever try to bother you again, just tell me. There's no need for you to put up with any more of their
nonsense.”
When Karen was a child, she was frail. At just three or four years old, her parents sent her off to live with her
grandparents in the countryside, claiming it was for her health, but everyone knew the truth-they’d simply given

Thankfully, her grandparents were nothing like her parents. They loved and protected her fiercely. It wasn’t until
she was about to start middle school that they reluctantly sent her back, wanting her to have better schooling
and opportunities.
Brendan met Karen at university. They fell in love, but her parents objected from the start and even tried to
marry her off to someone else as soon as she graduated.
Back then, Brendan thought the Quincys just looked down on him for being poor. He worked himself to the bone,
started projects, and did everything he could to prove himself to Karen's family-only to realize later that they
didn’t care if their son-in-law loved their daughter; all they wanted was someone who could benefit the Quincy
family.
Karen was devastated. She took Brendan back to the countryside to see her grandparents, saying their blessing
was the only one she needed. Sadly, the two

elders passed away before they could attend the wedding. Before they died, their only wish was for Karen and
Brendan to live a good life and not fall out completely with the rest of the family.
“If it hadn't been for the Quincys constantly telling others that we kept showing up to beg for the family fortune,
things might not have gotten so bad. But then we got accused of being insincere. After that last negotiation, we
gave them three million and officially cut ties. | never told your mom the details-I didn’t want her to worry even
more.”
Brendan sighed, knowing how hard these years had been for Karen. She'd kept so much bottled up, and now,
just as they'd finally found speace, the past was knocking at their door again.
That night, Brendan told Alessia all about Karen's twith the Quincys-how, ever since she'd been brought
back, she'd been treated like an outsider, constantly criticized, gossiped about, accused of being sly or having a
bad temperament, always compared to her younger brother, never good enough.
Alessia listened quietly, her gaze lowered, saying nothing.
