When I read the line, “I chose peace over fairness,” Daniel exploded.
“This is a trick! It’s another part of your plan to steal everything from us.”
“She left me something else.”
I ignored him and kept reading.
By the time I finished, Daniel’s face was red with rage. Avan and Jenna stood together, frowning, shooting glances between Daniel and me like they were waiting to see who would win.
Daniel shook his head. “This doesn’t change anything.”
“She was confused near the end,” Jenna said quickly. “People say things when they’re dying.”
“There’s no confusion in this letter,” I said. “You decided I wasn’t family a long time ago, and she let you. That’s what the letter says, and that’s what happened.”
Nobody denied it.
They were waiting to see who would win.
