My name is Emily Carter, and until my sister’s wedding, I thought I understood exactly where I stood in my family

So I purchased the debt through one of my real estate companies.

I bought the house.

I became the owner.

Then I allowed them to continue living there without paying rent.

They never thanked me.

Instead, when they discovered the truth weeks earlier, they began planning.

If they could publicly force me into giving away my penthouse, they could move into Jessica’s apartment after she left.

They would lose nothing.

And I would lose everything.

Marcus walked to the center of the ballroom.

“Margaret Carter.”

He looked at my mother.

“Thomas Carter.”

He looked at my father.

“As legal representative of the property group that owns your residence, I am serving notice of eviction effective in thirty days.”

The room exploded with whispers.
