    Chapter 2049 Persistence Over Inheritance


    Patrick’s words left She shaken as she doubted everything she knew about paternal love. I used to


    think Dad loved me as much as the boys. Now, I know how deeply rooted his stupid and unfair sexism


    is. He sees me as an outsider!


    “If I’m an outsider, why do you need me to help you secure a loan with the Seet family by leveraging on


    my rtionship with them?”

    Patrick was momentarily taken aback before answering matter-of-factly, “Because you’re my daughter.


    It’s your duty to enrich the Muir family to the best of your ability.”


    “In other words, Dad, I have no ess to the Muirs’ fortune because I’m an outsider, but I need to


    exercise my duty as your daughter to lend the family a helping hand? As the second most powerful


    family in the city, have you ever even considered giving me anything at all? Everything is going to the


    boys, isn’t it?”


    “Of course, I love you, She,” Patrick argued. “But the family fortune can only remain with those who


    bear the family name. Besides, you’re living it up in the Seet residence, aren’t you? I’m sure you have


    more than enough to keep youfortable without having to dip into my fortune.”


    “If I had married an ordinary man instead of Davin, one who barely earns enough to get us by every


    month, would I inherit a share, then?”


    “You belong to your husband’s family after marriage, She. I’ll give you some dowry but that’s all you’ll


    get. As I said, the Muir fortune stays in the family.”


    She gazed steadily at her father. “I guess that’s a no.” Patrick’s features hardened. “Are you trying to


    fight for a slice?”


    “Don’t worry, Dad. I can survive without a dime from you. Even if I ran into trouble, Davin and his family


    wouldn’t abandon me as you did. Besides, I do not need to fight for anything since thew dictates


    daughters are equally entitled to the inheritance. I know the Muir family fortune is yours to distribute as


    you see fit. Unlike you, I wouldn’t hold a grudge for the sake of money. I’m an outsider after all; I have


    nothing to do with this family anymore because I now belong to the Seet family. Don’te to me


    anymore for help regarding your problems, Dad. You’ve made it clear that I’m not part of your family.”


    Patrick was scandalized at his daughter’s outburst.


    “How could you say that, She? You-”


    “What do you think She should do, Dad?” Davin interrupted.


    “Honor her family!” Patrick raged. “She has been raised by the Muir family. My family! It’s a debt that


    she can never-”


    “Never finish repaying?” Davin suggested.


    Patrick froze. Gulping as if he had swallowed a lemon whole, he nodded stiffly. “Exactly!”


    Unable to bear the heart-wrenching pain any longer, She stood up and strode out with Davin on her


    heels.


    “I’ming for the two billion one way or another, She,” her father called after them. “First thing


    tomorrow, I’ll- no, scratch that. I will drop by the Seet residence tonight and turn Jonathan’s household


    upside down.”


    She grew incensed. He doesn’t even respect me as his daughter! Will he be satisfied after ruining


    the harmony of the Seet family?


    “Do whatever you want,” she spat with onest scornful look at her father.


    Davin rounded on his father-inw. “Think of the consequences before youe causing trouble in my


    house. Consider yourself warned.”


    “What’s the worst you can do to me?” Patrick jeered, standing his ground. “Kick me out? When I’m


    done with your father and you, you’ll both be famous on the inte for being an adulterer and an


    arrogant b*stard respectively. We’ll see what Y City has to say about that!”
