Chapter 4 - Brenda Demands Answers From Her Brother
Brenda abandoned her gold-embossed place setting at the central VIP table, storming across the polished marble floor in fury.
Her designer dress swished dramatically with every aggressive step she took toward her brother’s forgotten corner.
“Have you completely lost your mind, Kenneth?” Brenda shrieked, her voice echoing off the elegant chandeliers.
“Mom is turning seventy today, and you’re humiliating our entire family over some childish seating arrangement?”
Kenneth looked up at his sister, his eyes completely devoid of the defensive warmth he used to show her.
“Children don't belong next to potted plants while your kids sit like royalty, Brenda,” Kenneth said quietly.
“Oh, stop being such a dramatic baby! They’re just kids; they don't care about table settings!” Brenda snapped back.
“Emily and Noah care when they’re treated like second-class citizens by their own flesh and blood,” Sarah intervened sharply.
Brenda scoffed, turning her venomous glare toward her sister-in-law with an expression of pure, unadulterated contempt.

“Stay out of this, Sarah! This is a family matter between me and my brother!” Brenda hissed venomously.
“No, Brenda, this is an accounting matter, and the bills are finally coming due,” Kenneth stated with chilling finality.
