“You told me your sister was unstable and struggling,” Garrett said to Felicity while his face turned a deep shade of red. He asked her why she had lied about a woman who had literally saved his father’s life.
Felicity tried to say that she was just trying to protect the family’s privacy, but the lie didn’t work this time. Silas announced that he was giving me a two hundred thousand dollar grant for my medical education through his foundation.
Kenneth tried to come over and act like a proud father, but Silas blocked him and asked why his daughter was sitting by the kitchen. My father had no answer and looked down at his shoes while the rest of the guests began to clap for me.
I realized then that I didn’t need their approval because I had already built a life that mattered without them. I left the dinner with my head held high and a bright future that my sister could never take away from me.
