Invincible Heir

At Yuri’s words, Phillip released a cold scoff. “Come now, Yuri, if you’re going to make excuses, don’t just spin something that blatant. Think of the Lewis Clan’s status! Do you seriously think they’d give some trash like Baron the time of day?”

“You don’t have to believe me,” Yuri said icily.

Tracy was beginning to see red. It hadn’t even been a week since the clan banished them, and they were already back to rip them off some more.

“See, Granddad says that if you’d just hand over the gifts the Lewis Clan gave you, you’ll be let back into the clan,” Phillip said, suddenly all smiles.

“Mr. Perry really said that?” Sherry was overjoyed.

If it had only been a few days prior, she would have taken the opportunity to put Phillip in his place – but the truth had come out last night. Although the gifts from the Lewis Clan were indeed in her hands, if Baron so wished it, he could have it all taken away, leaving her with nothing.

Phillip snorted disdainfully. “Granddad said so himself. Would he lie? Of course, we’d still need you to hand over those million-dollar betrothal gifts, but if Granddad’s happy with them, he might even hand over the position of head of the clan to Terry himself. You’ve got only a little to lose and a lot to gain, you know.”

Phillip didn’t even blush as he promised the world. He’d gone and slammed the seat of the clan head right down on the bargaining table, just like that – lighting a fire under Sherry’s ego.

“And if we refuse?” Yuri, at least, remained resolute.

“Shut up!” Sherry hissed.

Yuri’s face showed only disappointment. “Mom, did you forget how they expelled us without a second thought? Or how Big Sis begged them until she collapsed? They’re only crawling back now that they’re in trouble. Do you really think they’ll let us back in after a few favors?”

Tracy, too, was thoroughly disappointed in her mother. With her eyes still red, she said, “Those things belong to Baron, Mom. You’ve got no right to dispose of them on your own.”

“See here, Sherry, I know you’re the boss of this family. Seeing as Tracy and Yuri seem to be against this arrangement, you should take a stand and make a decision. This is your one chance to make it back to the clan. If the clan makes it through this crisis without you lifting a finger, any hopes of you returning to the fold is gone, dashed to pieces.” Ever the con artist, Phillip’s words wormed their way into Sherry’s ear, and she began to waver.

“I respect my daughters’ wishes. There’s no way I can return to the Perry Clan at this point.” Terry had long since given up on the clan.
