Jolin took a sip of her coffee, calmly stating, "This is your family's business, not ours. We will never sell the ancestral house. You were the one who said it was an invaluable asset of the Hawthorne family, and it should never be sold. I remember every word clearly."
Aurelia guessed that Jolin must have felt quite relieved saying this.
As the saying goes, never take things too far.
If you were ruthless when others were in trouble, didn't expect anyone to lend a hand when you were down.
Perla was disgruntled. She quickly gave Belinda a look, urging her to speak up.
Belinda said, "We are a family, and we should not hold grudges. Your two kids have moved to Elysium, and you and Zack will join them sooner or later. The ancestral house will be sold eventually. Why not sell it now and help Ritchie? He is your nephew."
Jolin scoffed, "If we held grudges, do you think we would still take care of you? You were so cold to Zack when he was born just because some fortune teller said he was a curse. You wanted him dead. You fed all the milk to five-year-old Rahul and refused to feed Zack, it was only thanks to Grandma that he survived. He didn't enjoy any maternal love, only Grandma's care."
She paused and continued, "When he got into college, you refused to finance him. Thanks to Grandma's support, he was able to finish his studies. When it came to splitting the ancestral house, you wanted us to pay but refused to give us our share. It was Grandma who made the fairest decision. The house was passed down directly from her to Zack and Rahul, it has nothing to do with you."
Belinda looked pale when she heard this, "Those are all old issues, and why bring them up now?"
"Let's talk about the present." Jolin had been holding back for two years, and she couldn't hold it in any longer.
