Uncle Cameron was good at copying handwriting, and Granddad had no idea. Somewhere along the lines, Uncle Cameron changed. I guess power and money can lead people astray."


    Be''s eyes remained cold. "Even so, Dad always did right by him. He did not stop to consider what he would put Dad through when he stole from thepany for his personal gain. All he saw was the glory of bing a chairman, not the hard work behind it.

    "You''re back, Be."


    "Aunt M..." Be lost her cool at the sight of M, and her eyes welled up.

    "Is it just you here? Where are my brothers? They should be here!"


    The door at the end of the corridor flung open.
