Thomas Smith initially intended to play the family card with him, but was harshly rebuffed, which only heightened his anger.
"I know you haven't spent much time with Olivia, but I'm about her age and have a deeper bond with her. Even if you don't have feelings for Olivia, can't you at least consider me, her second brother who grew up with her?"
He looked at Edward Smith with expectant eyes, saying:
"Besides, switching babies was the parents' mistake. Can you really blame Olivia for that? Back then, she was just a baby. What did she know? You feel sorry that your biological sister left her real family. But wasn't Olivia also taken away from her real parents and family?"
Edward Smith was practically fuming from Thomas's twisted logic, wanting to punch him again.
"Thomas, I never knew you were so good with words."
He grabbed Thomas's collar and pulled him closer—
"Do you know what kind of life Helen Melendy had? She grew up in an orphanage with no parents."
