“A nobody like you, no family, no roots! Don’t you dare think you’ll get a cent from my house!” The furious woman, Nora, shrieked, clutching a pillow as she berated the young man, Gavin. He stood calmly, an apron tied over his clothes, absorbing her venom. She escalated, sweeping a broom and continuing her tirade. “Living off my daughter every day, it’s pathetic!”
Gavin, holding the broom, met her gaze. “I’m working. I’ve never asked you for anything, Nora,” he stated, his voice even, despite the obvious hurt in his eyes. Nora, however, was deaf to reason, her arms crossed, her expression a mask of contempt.
Moments later, the scene shifted outside the elegant house. A uniformed officer stood before Gavin, who was still in his apron, a look of profound surprise on Nora’s face behind him. The officer spoke with deference: “Mr. Gavin, our office confirmed the overseas tycoon’s only heir.” Nora gasped, her face draining of color. “That’s impossible!” she exclaimed, utterly stunned.
The transformation was swift and stunning. Gavin, now impeccably dressed in a sharp black suit, stepped confidently out of a sleek black car, leaving a bewildered Nora in his wake. He turned to her, his voice devoid of emotion. “Keep your inheritance. I don’t want it. The land I own is bigger than this entire county.”
With a final, dismissive glance, he closed the car door, sealing his departure. “Goodbye, Nora.” The realization of her colossal mistake dawned on Nora as she frantically called his name, her pleas echoing unanswered as the luxury vehicle pulled away, leaving her standing alone, truly undone.
