I stared at my former father-in-law and mother-in-law, feeling disgust rise within me. The relationship we'd built over three years had crumbled so easily, leaving me bewildered.
"I came to see Grandpa," I stated after taking a deep breath.
"My dad doesn't need your visit. Just get out!" Holmes sneered.
With everyone causing a commotion around me, I felt a whirlwind of emotions. In the past, I would have retreated timidly, but now I refused to continue living that miserable existence.
"What are you still staring at? Get out!" Holmes jabbed his finger toward my face and shouted.
Just as I prepared to respond, Harvey Brown's vehicle pulled up nearby.
Upon spotting Harvey, Maeve and Holmes rushed to greet him.
"Oh, my dear son-in-law, did today's banquet go well?" Maeve asked with obvious flattery in her voice.
"I heard the Sean family wants to back a young man in River City. It must be my brilliant son-in-law!" Holmes added with a laugh.
