StartNovelChapter 1305:
Tori let out a sharp breath, her disapproval clear. “Ellie's always been like that. If she says no, then drop it. Don’t
push her; that’s just the way she is. I'm telling you now, don’t get on her bad side. Your father and I are finally
living comfortably because of her. She slips us spending money from tto time, and this house is in our name
thanks to her. Our future depends on her. If she won't agree, leave it alone. Go to Thiago instead; he'd help you.”
Hank's shoulders slumped. “I knew you'd side with her. Just because she’s got money, you do whatever she
says? She's your daughter—you should be telling her what to do, not letting her boss you around!”
“Then why don’t you make that kind of money yourself? If you push her too far, how are we supposed to keep
this life? The house, the car—everything you enjoy is because of your sister. Try being grateful for once.” Tori’s
words cut through his frustration until he fell silent.
Hank walked out of the kitchen with an even heavier mood.

At the dining table, Patrick sat surrounded by Lego bricks, carefully putting pieces together. Hank sat beside him
and started helping with the build. After a while, Tori walked over carrying a plate of sliced fruit, setting it down
on the table.
Ellie said to her, “Mom, I'm pregnant.”
Tori’s face lit up instantly. “That's wonderful news! I've always said you and Thiago should have a child of your
own. Your life is stable, and your finances are good—there’s no reason not to have more kids.”
From his seat, Hank leaned toward Patrick. “Your mom's going to have another baby, so she won't want you
anymore.”
Patrick didn’t even glance at him. “That's not true.”
“You'll see,” Hank said with a smirk. “Thiago’s not even your real dad. Once your mother and father have their
own kid, they won't want you anymore. You'll end up living with your grandparents.”

Gesturing to Ellie, he added, “See? Your mother is over the moon about the new baby.”
Patrick paused mid-build, Hank's words swirling in his head.
Then, without warning, he abandoned his Legos and rushed to Ellie's side. “Mom, Uncle Hank says you'll
abandonwhen the new baby comes and sendto live with Grandma and Grandpa. Is that true?”
“You've got snerve!” Tori’s voice snapped like a whip as she stormed toward Hank and hit him. “How could
you say something like that to the kid?”
“I haven't said anything wrong!” Hank shouted as he darted frantically around the room, staying just out of Tori’'s
reach.
Ellie looked at Hank with disapproval, suspecting that what he had told Patrick was retaliation for her earlier
refusal to help him with his job issue.
“Stop running your mouth!” Tori hurled a clothes hanger at Hank. He caught it mid-run, his pace faltering for a
moment.
That pause was all Tori needed to land a few swats on him, scolding him sharply as she did.
From the sofa, Leif scolded, “What possessed you to say something like that? Apologize to Patrick right now!”
