Beth returned to the old Stanton mansion [now Aldress] after the major disappointment she had experienced in the trial with Judge Brown.That morning when she woke up, she thought that afternoon was going to be very different. Surely, she pictured herself swimming in bills that very afternoon, but Lucius Garner had taken it upon himself to ruin her party.Beth was very upset and needed to unleash her fury against something or someone. Since she arrived, she had been breaking all the glass cups and glasses she came across, but it still wasn't enough. She needed something much more significant and effective to drain all that anger. Perhaps something destructive and humiliating would be the perfect solution to her dilemma.Alfred stood beside her holding a tray with many empty glass cups for Beth to throw against the wall."Damn Norton!" Beth shouted as she threw a cup that shattered against the wall."Beth... Beth..." Baxter said timidly trying to stop her fury, but it was simply futile

The confession of Lucius Garner was a bombshell that blew the minds of everyone present in that courtroom. They all looked at each other, waiting for an explanation that no one could provide; only the attorney of the late Joseph Stanton knew the story of that fourth heir, which had been a secret until that day.Curtis was one of the most surprised people in that trial. He had gone from being a homeless man on the verge of being locked up to being a protege of Joseph Stanton even after his death, but he never imagined that Joseph had another secret son. That was news that no one could have expected."Order... silence... order in the court," Judge Brown commanded to quiet the murmurs that everyone present was making while silently expressing the astonishment that the news had left them."For security reasons, I will not reveal Ander's face until we are at the place and time of Joseph's will reading," Lucius exclaimed."Very well, very well. That's understandable," said the judge, finish

A rather handsome young man entered Stanton Mansion, walking as if he already knew the property perfectly. His hair was blond and his body was athletic. He was sixteen years old and his name was Ander Superman. Joseph's son, whom he refused to acknowledge until his last week of life, which is why he decided to include him in his new will."You may enter," Alfred said at the door of the private office."Step aside, damn clown," Ander said, causing Alfred to move quickly.Ander had Stanton blood in his veins, but he had the Aldress mentality in his head.It was the first time the Stanton family saw the face of the illegitimate son, and their first impression was that of a conceited and rebellious child who believed he had the world in his pocket."Welcome home, Ander, please take a seat," Lucius said once Ander entered the office."I hope this won't take too long. I don't want to be stuck here with these stinking people for too long," Ander said with a contemptuous look."Stupid arrogan

Curtis was in shock. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Joseph couldn't have left all that fortune to his name. That was absurd. Joseph had four children and an ex-wife; the thought of him leaving his entire empire in the hands of a stranger was simply stupid."No... no... no!" Beth began to whisper and laugh nervously, and slowly her laughter turned into a grimace of anger, and her whispers turned into uncontrollable screams from a distraught woman."Mom!" Carson shouted and stood up to stop Beth.Carson held them as Beth fought with all her might to reach Lucius. She wanted to kill him with her own hands and make that will disappear where no one could ever find it."Damn!" Beth shouted as she struggled, "you'd better hope this is all a very tasteless joke.""Mom is right. This is absurd," Campbell said standing up, "it's stupid to think that Dad would have preferred Norton over his children... that will must be fake.""They're robbing us right under our noses," Agatha complain

Beth had woken up with a strong headache after spending the whole night having nightmares about Curtis following what she had experienced the day before. She dragged her feet on the carpet, and her body felt twice as heavy as usual. Placing her hand on her hip, she made small gestures of pain. She needed to have some tea or coffee to try to relieve the migraine that was ruining her life.She peeked out the door hoping to see some of her employees to order them to prepare something for her immediately, but that hallway was completely deserted. "Where are these parasites when you need them?" Beth complained as she peeked out the door. It was very strange not to see any of them. It was very early in the morning, and they were supposed to be fixing the rooms and preparing breakfast."Damn it," Beth realized she had to walk to the kitchen to be attended to, and that annoyed her a lot. A pink velvet robe was the only thing covering her body and the bad mood of having to walk so far to be at
