Kimberly sighed with satisfaction and mentioned that this level of luxury was not meant for everyone’s budget. Justin’s father in law started talking about a promotion that would give my son a massive raise in salary.
He explained that his family connections were the reason Justin was moving up so quickly in his firm. I realized that all my hard work to give Justin a good start had been replaced by a marriage of convenience.
Kimberly squeezed Justin’s hand and said that they were making some necessary changes for the sake of their daughter Sadie. I felt a sharp pain when I realized they were planning to take my granddaughter away from me.
Kimberly explained that Sadie needed to spend time with people who could add real value to her life. I asked what other changes I should know about while keeping my voice as neutral as possible.
She told me that my appearance was embarrassing and that I had ruined the atmosphere at Sadie’s last birthday party. Her mother added that my simple dress and grocery store cake had made a terrible impression on their wealthy guests.
