The Princess and the Pauper

“You had the gall to trip up your own brother and sister-in-law, to hire killers and set fires. You even dared to take the lives of my wife and daughter—why couldn't you just come to us and say you wanted this company.” Kenneth's face was streaked with tears, his voice choked with sorrow, “As long as you speak up, tell me what you want, and | would be willing to step down. I'd rather give you the company than to see what you have become, than to be separated from Bella for all these years. | didn’t want her to suffer outside, don’t you understand?? Do you understand how important family means to me.” His tears were pouring down like rain, he asked angrily, “Do you understand?” To him, family was everything. Lucas's eyes brimmed with tears too. This was the first time he had seen his elder brother break down like this, pouring his heart out to him. But it was all too late. They had boarded the wrong ship, and there was no turning back. “Oh Beverly,” Louisa cried, her heart felt like it was being sliced open, “What else is there, that we don’t know? | don't believe that you'd hate us so deeply over something so trivial.” Now that everything was out in the open, they might as well clear everything up at once. There were tears in Beverly's eyes too, “There are something I've held in my heart for so long.” For years, she had been trying hard to be a good daughter-in-law, a perfect sister-in-law. There were words that she couldn't say, feelings she had to suppress; and now, after so many years, they were finally seeing the light of day. “We both gave birth for the family, but the parents’ attitude towards us two daughters-in-law was completely different, one might say it's worlds apart. Every child you bore was a son, and mom and dad spent more time with them than with Frederica or Alma.” Beverly couldn't hold back any longer, and tears swelled in her eyes, “I will never forget the night | gave birth to Frederica. When my parents found out | had given birth to a daughter, they didn’t even bother to visit. They just sent the butler with a card and some cash, and didn’t come to see us until after | had fully recovered from the ordeal of childbirth.” “You misunderstood!!” Cornelia was so anxious that she was in tears, “It was because.” She stopped herself, unable to continue, and instead wiped the tears from her face. “Beverly, you've really got it wrong!” Bernard also started to tear up, “That year, Cornelia and | were at a banquet when we got a call saying you were going into labor. We were so happy that we put down our glasses and rushed to the hospital, but then we received a call on the way.” He glanced at Cornelia, and hesitated whether to reveal the truth of that night.
