“Greta, the house is gone,” Patrick said, his voice trembling.
Greta immediately lost it, shouting, “Dad, did you actually sell the house?” She quickly zeroed in on the main issue. “And what about the money from the sale?”
Patrick shot a glance at Nathalie.
Greta caught on fast and turned her anger towards Nathalie. “Was it you? Did you talk Dad into selling the house while I was away? So, you’ve got the money, right? Hand it over now! I’m his real daughter, the only heir.”
Nathalie calmly turned on her phone’s recording app and calmly led Greta on, “Greta, what are you doing? Dad’s still alive. The house and money are his.”
Greta fired back, “I’m his guardian. I have the right to manage his affairs.”
Nathalie smirked, “Oh, now you remember you’re his guardian? Where were you when he was sick? You left me to handle everything for him, so doesn’t that make me his guardian?”
“You’re not even his biological daughter,” Greta shot back.
“So what? The law doesn’t say an adopted daughter can’t inherit anything,” Nathalie replied.
Panic spread across Greta’s face as she knelt by the bed. “Dad, you didn’t really give her the house, did you?”
Patrick nodded.
“You never showed up. I waited and waited for you. I needed a daughter to sign my surgery consent forms and handle the bills. Since you weren’t around, I had to ask Nathalie. I’ve never treated her well, so why would she do all this for me for free? So, I gave her the house as payment for taking care of me.”
Greta broke down, screaming, “I could’ve taken care of you too! I’m your daughter, aren’t I? Dad, by giving her the house, you’ve left me without a home.”
