Years later, my parents finally showed up at my office—demanding to meet the granddaughter they had rejected.
I owned the house. I controlled the company. And the board was voting to remove my father as CEO.
At a public gala, the announcement was made. My parents were escorted out of the empire they thought was theirs. Days later, they signed an agreement accepting a modest allowance and permanent silence.
Today, Sterling Industries runs ethically under my leadership. The mansion is now a foundation for women rejected by their families. Sophie is thriving, confident, and loved.
My parents still exist—but far away, powerless, and quiet.
They taught me one thing through their cruelty:
Family isn’t blood.
It’s who stays.
And sometimes, the best revenge isn’t anger—it’s living so well that their absence stops mattering.
