This is our business; if you wish to help, please support your sister. Remember that you also have a stake in the Newman family’s assets.

Focus on your studies once classes start, and don’t worry about adult issues; those will be managed by adults. Don’t be overly frugal at school; if you run out of money, just let me know, and I’ll send you some.”

Trenton gazed at his eldest sister for a long time before asking, “Are you truly willing to share the family property with me?”

Everyone had told him that once his eldest sister took charge of Newman’s company, she would monopolize it and prevent him from having any involvement, let alone distributing the family assets, because she held resentment towards their parents.

Even their mother was his sister’s mother.

However, their mother treated the eldest sister poorly. In her view, the real mother was likely more cruel than a stepmother.

“Ouch.” Trenton winced as his elder sister slapped him hard across the face.

Fuming, Trenton glared at her and retorted sarcastically, “Is that right? You all pretend to care about me now. If I weren’t still in school, you’d probably try to eliminate me so that the entire Newman estate could be yours, and you could take revenge on our father.”

This time, Camryn didn’t just pinch his face; she slapped him directly.

Trenton didn’t dodge this time either, and after the slap, he felt a sharp sting on his cheek. He looked at his sister, his eyes reddening with anger, but he stubbornly refused to cry.

“Trenton, is this how you truly see me? You believe everything they say, yet you don’t trust my words?” Camryn was furious with her younger brother.

Callum sighed quietly, took her hand, and tried to comfort her: “Camryn, Trenton doesn’t mean any harm; he is still….”

young. He doesn’t grasp many things, and his perspective differs.”

He addressed Trenton again: “Trenton, I know you will never be able to confront your sister. No matter how severe your parents’ mistakes were, they are still your parents. You have always respected your sister, but it was she who caused your parents’ downfall.”

“However, if they hadn’t erred and faced legal consequences, no matter how much your sister despised them, she wouldn’t have been able to send them away. You are a kind-hearted child, and despite your family ties, you believe your sister is to blame. Is that correct?”

Trenton’s eyes reddened.

He looked away.

His two eldest aunts and those cousins relentlessly nagged him, accusing his eldest sister of being ruthless and cold-hearted in his presence, claiming that since she took over Newman’s enterprise, she had become increasingly shocking.

If he did nothing and allowed his eldest sister to continue on this path, he would have nothing in the future. They insisted that regardless of his parents’ mistakes, he should inherit their property, and it wasn’t his sister’s turn to inherit. She is a daughter and will eventually get married.

They also warned that if he didn’t reclaim the company, when his sister married into the York family, Newman’s enterprise would fall into their hands and become a part of the York family’s possessions.

Trenton didn’t believe his sister was that kind of person, but he had heard too much. When facing her, he became hot-headed and impulsive, saying things that wounded her deeply.

He regretted the hurtful words, but once spoken, they were like water poured out—impossible to take back.

After Camryn finished chastising her younger brother, she took a few deep breaths and then stood up.

She said to Callum, “Let’s go.” She didn’t want to elaborate further. She was entitled to hold whatever opinions her brother chose. Siblings often have differing viewpoints. The father was not the same as the mother, yet the mother loved her deeply, despite harboring feelings of resentment. The younger brother was raised in a nurturing environment and had always been enveloped by love.
