Whitney was telling the truth, but there was no way Emma could accept it.
She shot to her feet, glaring at Whitney like she was some kind of parasite. “You’re talking nonsense! Mr. Nelson’s daughter is four years old—her real mom’s been missing for years. How on earth could Sandy suddenly be her mother?
Whitney, why are you defending Sandy, that little nobody?
Sienna is your real cousin!
Mrs. Nelson, Gary—this is Whitney’s scheme. She’s just pretending Sandy is that child’s mother so Sandy can marry into your wealthy family.
Let me tell you, Whitney is targeting me, the old lady of this family.
She wants to take over the Sheldon estate for herself and kick me out. She can’t stand the thought of Sienna marrying well. Whitney, you’re heartless!”
Emma jabbed her finger at Whitney’s face, seething with rage.
Whitney just looked at her—eighty years old, but still full of fire. All that sharpness, all that bitterness—she turned it on her own family.
It was sad, Whitney thought. She’d never wanted to drag Emma through the mud, but since Emma insisted on making a scene, Whitney wasn’t about to hold back.
She gave a cold, mocking laugh. “You know, they say you shouldn’t air your dirty laundry in public, Grandma. You pushed Sienna to throw herself at Shane, tried to get them caught out together so you could sic the press on him and force him into marrying her. That way you’d have the Nelson family as your backers, and you could use that to squeeze me out of the Sheldon family.
Everything you’ve done has been for yourself.
But have you even thought about what you’re putting Sienna through?”
Whitney’s calm words made Gary’s face darken.
