The attorney, Mr. Harrison, looked at me with a mix of surprise and admiration. “You’re not hesitating, are you?” he mused, flipping through the ledgers I had brought him. Each ledger meticulously documented years of neglect and emotional manipulation that had been wrapped in the guise of parental care.
“There’s no room for hesitation,” I replied, my voice steeled by years of emotional fortitude. “They’ve made their choice. Now, I’m making mine.”
The legal gears were set in motion swiftly. Mr. Harrison was as relentless as his reputation suggested. Within hours, orders were issued to freeze my parents’ assets. A counter-suit was filed, claiming emotional distress and fraudulent misrepresentation of parental obligations. I had learned long ago that in the world of finance, sentimentality was a liability. This situation was no different.
