"That brat! I have never met anyone this arrogant!" Clarisse couldn't help but let out a series of curses when Spencer finally left them inside the house." Did you see the way she smiled at us? She was clearly looking down on us! How could someone act like that?"
"Clarisse, what you did earlier was really careless. Did you forget what your father told you? You need to get close to her. Act like her sister. She grew up without any mother's love or any other woman's affection. Understandably, she is on guard. How could you lose your cool when you already know this?"
"Grandma… I…"
"You have gotten arrogant just because of your measly followers. If everything is successful, the benefits that we can get are limitless! You have to look at it as a businessman. This… All this is just an investment for our profitable future."
"But that woman is— "
"Enough. I know you are a smart child. You should already know what do you during dinner."
Clarisse bit her lower lip. "Alright, grandmother. I will do my best."
"Good. That's my granddaughter." Mary smiled before patting her granddaughter's head.
…..
"Miss, these are the files that I gathered so far. It seems that your paternal grandfather had a little sister. She was registered as Sutton, but got married and changed her name. Our people are already on their way to the south. They are going to check what kind of life that woman lived. In two days, we will surely get some more information about them."
"Kasper… what do you think about this timing?"
"It's perfect," Kasper answered without batting an eyelid. "Your father just died, and they showed up with some sickness and yet they are not willing to get treatment. The fact that Miss Clarisse is an influencer might be a problem, too. She could easily use this to tarnish your name and make you look like an evil person if you don't recognize them as your relative."
"Hmmm." Gabi nodded. Until now, she couldn't understand why Alfons didn't reveal this card in the past. Was it possible that he was protecting them?
"Hey, I rushed here when I heard about the relatives."
'Speaking of the devil,' Gabi thought inwardly as Alfons walked inside her office without even knocking.
"Is it true? We really have a grandmother?"
"We can't be sure. Tomorrow, we will take a DNA test with them."
"Really? Did they tell you how they know that we were related? What do you think of them?"
"It was the last name. They already know about father but didn't approach him because of some reason. The only reason why she is here now is that she is dying. She wanted to meet us. And no. I don't like them."
"That — " Alfons stared at her, speechless. "You don't like them?"
"Why would I like a stranger?"
"But what if she is really our grandmother?"
"I will give her money."
"You think they came here because of money?"
"Yes," Gabi said coldly.
"Gabi, how could you say that to an old person?"
"What's wrong with saying that to an old person?"
"If she is really our grandmother, then you should treat her better. How could you be like this? Father didn't raise you to act like that."
Gabi smiled. "Father didn't raise me at all."
"Are we going to fight again?"
"Up to you. Nothing will change my decision though."
Alfons let out a loud sigh. "I didn't know you can be this heartless."
"Yeah, I didn't know it too."
"Are you really going to send them away? Even if they are our relatives? Are you not going to give yourself a chance to get close to them?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"What's the point of getting close to a dying person?" she retorted. "What am I going to do after her death? I have lost a lot of people in my life. I don't think I would expose myself to that kind of pain again."
"Gabi…" Speechless, Alfons stared at Gabi's stony expression. How could it be like this? Where did the kindhearted Gabi go? He actually thought that Gabi would treat them better once she knew they were her blood-related relatives. This was because Gabi didn't really have any women friends while growing up. Moreover, she didn't have any mother figure all her life.
She craved attention and affection. This was the Gabi that he knew.
So, what's happening now? Who is this woman in front of him?
"I think we should let them live in this mansion once it is proven that they are our relative. Give that old woman a chance to bond with us. This is the least that we could do for them." Alfons suggested.
"And why would I do that?"
"Because — " Because what? Alfons couldn't answer this question. Gabi owes them nothing. He actually thought that the idea of having a relative would excite Gabi. "Because you have been alone your whole life. Isn't it good to interact with other people? I heard she had a granddaughter your age? Why not give yourself a chance to get close to you?"
"No. I don't them that."
"Gabi…"
"We are going to have dinner with them. And I will tell them that a DNA test will change nothing. They could stay in the guest house for a few days before I could give them the money that they want."
"So, you think they are just here because of your money? Is that all there is? Money? What if she is sincere? What if she really wanted to get close to you before her death?"
"Then we can have dinner and talk about boys before I give her money."
"You— "
Gabi waved her hand. "Don't think too much about it. I already made up my mind."
"If you don't want to offer them to stay, then I will."
"Excuse me?"
"I will let them stay in the mansion."
Gabi stared at the man, wondering if he was serious. "Pfft…" Then she burst out laughing. "You wanted them to stay in my house without my permission?"
"Then are you going to kick them out if I let them in? Are you really that heartless to kick out an old woman?"
Gabi got up. "Why don't we do it like this…" Gabi gestured Kasper to approach her. "Kick them out now. I don't want to see them around here again. And If they argue… tell them everything here belongs to my mother."
"Gabi… you…"
"Don't you dare threaten me again, brother. You don't really know what I am capable of."
