Jessie hadn't written any of this, but all the events from those years were etched in her mind. As she looked at those words, her eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
When her father passed away, every single one of her grandparents and uncles only had eyes for the compensation money. They never cared about her and Laura's feelings. They even refused to acknowledge her as their granddaughter so they could claim a larger share, slandering Laura just to drive them away.
Ultimately, when they couldn't avoid it any longer, they gave Jessie and Laura just a tiny portion of the money. It was much less compared to the bulk amount they had kept for themselves, and they ruthlessly kicked the vulnerable Jessie and Laura out of their home.
