Samuel’s face stiffened.

“Well, that’s not really fair. Whit, your mom lost her parents early on, and after w day,” he said.

“Weren’t you born with a silver spoon in your mouth too? he added.

“Dad, are you really sure I grew up with a silver spoon in my mouth?” she asked.

Ever since Whitney could remember, Laura had been sabotaging her in every little way, making even the smallest parts in her life difficult.

Moore Manor was way out of town, so it took an hour just to get to school.

When Whitney was six, she waited outside the school gate until the sun was almost down, but the family driver caner o for her.

She didn’t have a phone back then, so she just stood there helplessly, longingly watching all the other kids get picker tag to their parents.

She couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy.

Even if their parents showed up on a little scooter, it still felt so much warmer than her family’s fancy car ever did.

That day, Lena, the Harris family’s little princess, who usually butted heads with Whitney, pulled up and waved her over t get in.

“Whitney, didn’t Samuel send anyone to pick you up?” Lena asked.

Whitney pressed her lips together, her eyes turning red.

Lena panicked. “Hey, Whitney, why are you crying? I swear I didn’t do anything!”

“Come on, don’t cry!” Lena frantically searched for a tissue, but it was the teen up front who handed over a navy handkerchief.

Lena finally felt relieved.

“Here you go, wipe your tears. Don’t cry, okay? If no one comes to pick you up next time, just come home with ins, Lena sed gently.

But even after Lena finished, Whitney’s tears kept streaming down her face.

Lena grew anxious and pleaded softly, tilting her head, “Whitney, how about we be best friends from now on! Please cry, okay?”

Whitney wiped her tears, her voice soft and sweet. “Okay”

Things like that happened all the time, but at least after that day, nobody ever purposely left Whitney stranded at school again,

So Whitney gave a sarcastic smile and said, “Dad, the only one who really grew up with a silver spoon is fina

Whitney continued, “Back then, Laura said you were working so hard to build your business, that you should put all your money into the company and your projects. She told you there was no point wasting more money on something as trivial my education Did you forget?”

Samuel’s mind flashed back to those years, more than a decade ago.

There was a six-month stretch when money was tight. He was scrambling to secure funding and loans. Laura would comfort him, saying not to worry, that they could tighten the household budget.

And so, it was Whitney’s shot at a better school that got cut first.

Samuel tried to protest, “But..”

“sull, you really proved yourself, Whit. No matter what school you went to, you got into a top university. And with the best scores in your major, too” he said.

“I really did do better than Tina” Whitney replied, never one to sell herself short. “After all, my little sister just paid for a fancy degree overseas?

Samuel’s cheeks hurned with embarrassment. Every word between them was like a slap in the face, reminding him of how unfair he’d been to Whitney all those years.

Seeing that playing the family card wasn’t working, Samuel switched tactics. “But your grandma really loved you. She was always on your side, no matter what. And every year, your New Year’s money was always twice as thick as Tina’s

Whitney’s eyes turned cold. “Bot Dad, even then, didn’t you always find a way to make it up to Tina afterward?”

“Alright, I’ll be staying at Moore Manor for the next few days. Dad, you should probably head back to your place when you get a chance,” Whitney said
