Elaine, initially disinterested in returning. felt no obligation to engage with Finley’s tantrum at the Years family. These people were no longer part

Despite feeling hurt, Bianca still had her other six brothers. If Tucker no longer cared for her, so be
“Tucker” Finley greeted, his expression tense but poline
Once upon a time, Tucker and Finley had shared a strong bond. But today. Tucker didn’t even acknowledge him. Instead, he gave him a cold glance before taking a seat at a distance, an aloof observer.
They had all failed Elaine.
He had made it clear before everyone in this room was guilty, including him, including Finley. T
Finley was taken aback by Turker’s behavior, but he was too preoccupied to ask questions right now.
“Tucker”
Harlan, busy with work at the hospital and unaware of the family dynamics, had no idea what had changed in Tucker.
Suddenly, Tucker stood up, his gaze fixed on a gift box on the table. Inside was a bracelet that Bianca had just tried on and returned to its box. Tucker recognized it immediately–it was a gift from Harlan to Bianca,
Every year, Harlan brought Bianca gifts, no matter how long he’d been away. He always made sure to spoil her. But Elaine had never received such attention. In fact, her neglect seemed to only intensify the disdain others had for her, especially when tensions ran high.
Tucker, without a word, walked over to the bracelet

Bianca watched in disbehef as the gift from Harlan the symbol of her status–Lay in pieces on the floor. Her pride, once inflated by the adoration

Finley was stunned. Tucker had gone too far–he wasn’t just humiliating her, but he was destroying her face in front of everyone.
Harlan stood up in disbelief, his face a picture of shock. “Thicker! What are you doing? Are you out of your mind! Why destroy the bracelet! Don’t you know it’s a gift for Bianca?”
Bianca, tears welling up. against everyone!”
stared at Tucker. Tucker, why did you destroy the gift Harlan gave me? Is this because of Elaine? Are you now turning
Tucker met her gaze, his own eyes glistening with unshed tears, but his voice was cold. “You owe Elaine this. Everything you have right now was supposed to belong to her. She’s the true beness of the Yeats family, our real sister. You were only adopted. You’ve enjoyed the privileges all these years. Don’t you think you’re being ungrateful?
His words hit hard. Bianca’s face drained of color as she realized the depth of her mistakes.
“For years. Elame didn’t have the Years Family name, didn’t have the privileges of being the Yeats family’s daughter. Yet, she endured, and she made in through. And now I’m simply taking back a bracelet that was meant for you. Can’t you bear that?” Tucker’s voice trembled as he spoke again, eyes reddening “What about the pain Elaine suffered all these years! Does that mean nothing to your”
Bianca could no longer hold back her tears. She fell silent, unable to speak a single word.

“Tucker, you.” she began, her voice faltering
Harlan, who now understood the full weight of Tucker’s words, sighed deeply. “I know, Tucker. I know”
