I'd worked overtthat day before rushing over in the evening. After greeting them both, I got a call from Lola.

“Oof. | gotta take this one. You guys go ahead,” | said.

“Aren’t you the busiest woman in the world, Tay?” Jean starked.

I left the room and answered. “Hello?”

“How are you doing, Taylor dear?” Lola asked.

This was such an obvious lead-up to something else. “Aunt Lola, I'm busy. Just get to the point.”

“Okay,” she replied, a little embarrassed. “It's about your dad. He's going to be imprisoned, isn’t he? Are you

really just going to let that happen?”

“Oh great. Here comes another one,” | muttered.

“Uh, yeah? Because I'm the one who put him there? What, am | supposed to fish him out? And how exactly

would that benefit me?” | replied, amused. “Besides, he genuinely broke the law. Multiple laws. | can’t save him

from that.”

“I know your dad did this to himself, but he’s family. Hasn't he been punished enough? You should show some

mercy to one of your own,” Lola said.

“What are you on, Aunt Lola? Did Cameron cry on your shoulder or something?”

Lola stammered, “W-Well, | mean... she called, yes. She said they're in a lot of debt, that they have no money

for food, that they're going to die soon... She said she asked you for help, but you wouldn't give her a dime, and

then you humiliated her...

“I know you've been through a lot, but they're in a really bad place. Can't you just show smercy?”

| snickered. She was the one who had beggedto protect her and several shareholders’ profit margins when

Harry's crimes surfaced. She had acted like she was on my side back then.

And now that the crisis was over and those shareholders were sitting cushy, she suddenly felt bad for the culprit

who caused it all? Enough to try to gaslight me?

“If you feel so bad for your precious nephew, go help them yourself. Me? I'm proud to be a miser if it means

keeping them at a distance. They made a fortune stepping all over my mom back then, didn’t they?”

“Well, if you don’t want to give them money... how about sshares? Give them a way to earn an income? It'd

be the sas charity,” Lola suggested.

| sneered. “Cameron isn’t even at retirement age. And Miles is able-bodied and perfectly capable of getting a

job. Why can’t they just work like the rest of us?”

“It’s hard to make money nowadays. Just sell them a few of your shares...”

| was getting really irritated with Lola. What a fucking pain. | wanted to hang up right then and there, but

suddenly, | had an idea.

“Do you want my shares, Aunt Lola? I'll sell them all to you at a very low rate. You'll becthe biggest

shareholder of Harbinger Inc. The General Manager position is currently vacant, so you can take that too. The

company will be yours,” | offered.
