For years, my family ignored my success, planning to steal my money for my golden sister. So, I gave my overlooked brother a free house at his graduation. My dad’s reaction: “That money was for her loans!”

He stared at me like he couldn’t breathe.
My father, Martin Hale, snatched the papers from his hand before Noah had even fully opened them. He scanned the address once, then twice, and his entire expression shifted.

“That house?” he said.

“Yes.”

“You bought him a house?”

“Yes.”

And that was when he exploded.

“That money was for her loans!”
