The house and money are his." Greta fired back, "I'm his guardian. I have the right to manage his affairs." Nathalie smirked, "Oh, now you remember you're his guardian? Where were you when he was sick? You leftto handle everything for him, so doesn't that makehis guardian?" "You're not even his biological daughter," Greta shot back.
"So what? The law doesn't say an adopted daughter can't inherit anything," Nathalie replied.
Panic spread across Greta's face as she knelt by the bed. "Dad, you didn't really give her the house, did you?" Patrick nodded.
"You never showed up. I waited and waited for you. I needed a daughter to sign my surgery consent forms and handle the bills. Since you weren't around, I had to ask Nathalie. I've never treated her well, so why would she do all this forfor free? So, I gave her the house as payment for taking care of me." Greta broke down, screaming, "I could've taken care of you too! I'm your daughter, aren't I? Dad, by giving her the house, you've leftwithout a home." Patrick replied, exasperated, "Where have you been? You never answer calls or texts. Do you even care about me?"

She thought about it, felt it was unfair to leave without the house, and snapped, "I'll make sure you give O back what you took." Nathalie shot back, "And I'll make sure you repay what you owe me." Greta, with her hand on her hip, stormed out.
Back home, Greta collapsed into
Cameron's arms, crying, "Cameron, I was busy taking care of you andm didn't pay attention to my dad, so he got mad and gave the house Nathalie. Now I'm ho QUMS
Cameron, feeling guilty, gently held her face. "Greta, don't worry, Kil make it big someday. Then, I'll buy you plenty of houses." Feeling a bit better, Greta asked, "But you don't have any capital. What now?"
