Alicia’s mask slipped for just a moment. “Then the money goes to charity, and you get nothing. I get nothing. Everyone loses.”
Alicia’s mask slipped

I’d heard enough. “Get out of my house.”
“This isn’t your decision, Margaret.” Alicia turned to the twins. “You’re adults now. Sign the papers, acknowledge me, and you’ll have more money than you’ll know what to do with.”
Her next words made my blood boil. “Or stay here playing happy family with the old woman who took you out of pity.”
Ethan’s jaw clenched. “Out of pity? She loved us when you threw us away like trash.”
“I made a difficult choice in an impossible situation,” Alicia snapped.
I couldn’t stand this any longer. I grabbed my phone and made a call that would change everything.
