Kathryn added, “Dad, if you still think $40,000 isn’t enough, you can wait until you recover and get a job as a security guard or cleaner to make a few thousand dollars a month.” 
Holden was stunned. He was in his seventies and had never worked a day in his life. 
After a moment, he responded, “I’m over seventy, and you expect me to work? What company would hire a security guard in his seventies?” 
Kathryn’s tone was cold. “Since you know you can’t earn money, stop complaining about what your children provide. I’m the daughter you dislike, yet I’m giving you $10,000 a month for living expenses, which is more than generous. If you keep complaining, I’ll reduce it to $5,000. If that’s not enough, ask your son or sue the daughter you adore to fight for her estate.” “Yes… $10,000 is fine,” Holden conceded. “Just remember to send it on time. Your brothers all have families and children to support. Life will be hard for them in the future, unlike you, who live comfortably without that burden. 
You’re the one set to inherit most of your mother’s estate. Kathryn, I admit, I don’t like you, but you’re still my child. Blood ties can’t be broken, and your brothers are connected to you no matter what. When you inherit, consider sharing some of it with them. 
“They have children who need school fees, and later, those children will need homes, cars, and wedding expenses. It’s costly, and your brothers aren’t good with business—they tend to lose money. In the future, they might only have rental income to survive, and making just tens of thousands a month will be tough.” 
Kathryn’s expression hardened. “Other people manage to support their families and pay mortgages and car loans on tens of thousands a month. My brothers make that much or even more in rental income and still claim it’s hard to live. How does that make sense? 
“They want to live like Mom did, spending recklessly and relying on her to bail them out. But those days are over. Mom may have spoiled them, but they never learned to stand on their own. Parents can’t be around forever. They took kickbacks and embezzled from the company—I haven’t even asked them to pay that money back. I’ve let it go because we’re family. What more do they want?” 
“My eldest brother’s assets total over $88.6 million. My second brother’s real estate and other holdings are worth over $50 million. My third brother and his wife run multiple shops and have over $70 million in assets. If they each inherit just 2% of Mom’s estate, they’ll be close to $100 million. And they still say they’re struggling? What would ordinary people think of that?” Holden was shocked that Kathryn knew so much about her brothers’ finances. After a pause, he murmured, “They have fixed assets, but they might not even have $10 million in liquid cash.” 
Kathryn countered, “Dad, didn’t I suggest they move back home? They should sell their city properties and businesses, cash out, and settle down. With their current assets, they’d be wealthy back home.”
