They were no less than a stab in the heart.
They couldn't believe that their granddad and Uncle Jeremy would turn against them.
Are they really my family? I bet my enemy would treat me with more mercy than this so-called family.

How can I still open my clinic with a bad repute?
Dawn, though being an outsider, couldn't help but take up the cudgel. "Lacey, your granddad and your uncle have gone too far. They're still treating your family like dirt after all these years."
"If I were you, I would definitely cut ties with them."
Lacey heaved a sigh of frustration, "It's complicated..."
Zeke patted Lacey consolingly on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Lacey. They will eventually turn to us when they realize they've shot themselves in the foot."

Daniel greeted them with a broad smile, "Zayne, Louis, you guys have arrived ahead of time! Thanks for coming!"
His colleagues gushed with fabricated smiles, "Daniel, congrats! You're becoming a big shot in the healthcare business now."
"It's no different from any other job. We're all just working for a living. Please, come in," Daniel said humbly.
