She used to be so close to her parents and her three brothers. She was always so careful and thoughtful when it came to them.

Back when they were kids, they would sneak out to play, swipe snacks, and get into trouble together.

When had everything twisted into this–like they were on opposite sides?

“Don’t blame Maxwell. It was me. I froze up the moment I saw Amelia and messed everything up.

“She’s just too good at what she does. She even snatched our backup stylist from the company. I bet she saw his talent ages ago and planned to steal him.”

Gianna caught the look on Maxwell’s face and felt uneasy.

His gaze toward her wasn’t the same. There was something distant in them.

“Ugh, that rebellious girl again. She truly doesn’t care about family anymore!” Emery complained.

Her daughter used to be sweet and obedient, always considerate and caring. But after she vanished that year and returned, she was completely different.

“Sometimes, I wonder if she’s been scheming step by step just to compete with Marcelo for the heir’s position.”

That was how the Nygards worked. They never looked inward. If something went wrong, it was always someone else’s fault.

“She thinks she can steal the CEO spot from me? What a joke.” Marcelo didn’t take it seriously at all.
