Chapter 13 - Brenda’s Luxury Gifts Are Taken Back
Kenneth looked across the room toward the gift table where Brenda’s children had piled their designer packages.
“Oh, and Brenda? Those gold-embossed gift bags your kids are holding? I bought those too,” Kenneth said softly.
He signaled toward two security guards, instructing them to retrieve the expensive gifts from the VIP table.
“You can't take our presents back! That’s stealing!” Brenda’s oldest son wailed, clutching a brand-new gaming console.
“It’s not stealing when I bought them with money meant for my own children’s future,” Kenneth replied firmly.
The guards collected the designer gift boxes, piling them neatly near the exit doors away from the stunned family.
Emily and Noah watched quietly from their plant-lined table, finally seeing their father stand tall against their bullies.
Emily pulled her handmade birthday card out from behind her back, walking slowly across the marble floor toward Kenneth.
She didn't hand it to her grandmother; instead, she handed it directly to her father with a proud smile.

“You’re the best dad in the whole world,” Emily whispered softly, hugging her father’s waist tightly.
Kenneth picked his daughter up into his arms, kissing her cheek while tears of absolute vindication welled in his eyes.
