Kayla gave Myra the freshly made orange juice, acting sweetly, "Mom, I cut the fruit and squeezed the juice myself. It might not taste as good as what the maid makes, but please make do with it!"
"Thank you, Myra."

"Hehe!"
Kayla was pleased and leaned into Myra's embrace.

Dexter explained, "Kayla, this way, no one can say I'm biased. You and Felicia will both have the same number of shares. You already had one percent, and it'll balance out with this extra four percent!"
Kayla's smile almost cracked.
From the corner of her eye, she saw Sebastian wink at Felicia. Clearly, it was his doing.
She smiled and replied, "I'll listen to your arrangements, Dad."
If she made another fuss now, all her complaints about favoritism would be invalid.
Myra also thought the arrangement was fair, as everything seemed to be split evenly.
