Tina quivered as she stood outside the door eavesdropping on the conversation between Senior Howard and Mr. Zink.
'That old geezer! He wants to give everything to that bastard!'
After all these years she spent time together with him, she and her precious son ended with nothing!
She clenched her fists tightly and angrily.
'Why? Why did that old geezer leave everything to Thomas in the end? Is it just because he's Eanne's son? Because Eanne was the one who helped him become rich? What about the twenty years I spent with him? Are my twenty years incomparable to the few years Eanne spent with him?'
"Alright, Mr. Howard. Is there anything else you'd like to add?" asked Mr. Zink again. "Give it a good thought."
Senior Howard said again after remaining silent for a long time, "There are two mansions in South Hill of this city and a company…"
"Do you want to transfer those to Mr. Thomas Howard too?" Mr. Zink asked.
Tina could not bear to listen any further. She bit her lip angrily and left the door with her fists clenched tightly. 'It's all wrong! It's all wrong!'
She had been with that old geezer for so many years, and he had listened to everything she said and did as she pleased. He even sent Thomas away when she requested it. It never crossed her mind that he would suddenly think Thomas was better at such an age!
Was it because Thomas was better than Dan? Was that why he disliked her and her son?
No. She would never let him have his way! She would make everything in the family hers and Dan's! Thomas could spare himself the trouble from thinking he could get anything!
