Seth and Lilith had actually planned this little scheme after they heard that this little imp would go to this gathering.
Each time they went to this get-together they would little by little gain the sympathy and love of Seth's brother and sisters gaining them more opportunity to integrate themselves with them.
They believed that in just a few weeks more they can ask some money to aid their company coupled with obvious signs of fatigue and weight loss of Seth gaining more sympathy from his siblings heightening their reassurance of gaining aid.
Their parents had died the year after the adoption incident of Reen occurred; they died because of old age. His father died first then followed by his grieving mother. Their inheritance was divided among the family with the largest portion given towards his eldest brother, Charles and second eldest sister Lily.
The eldest sister Rose was already married and had children of her own, she was not given as much as the other two siblings as she didn't really contribute much to the growth of the company.
Seth had the smallest yet still a big amount of inheritance as his father's way of punishing this disgraceful son of his and also because of his lowest contribution to the family company.
Seth had his own company so his mother agreed to his husband's allocation when finalizing the will with their attorney.
However with the amount of money he was given though not as big as the portion of his siblings he could still live 20 years of his life in comfort and luxury.
However even if you added the adoption case settlement two years ago, the money they gained in total was not enough to really save their company as they still continued their excess spending, drinking and gambling vices as a result they planned to ask some assistance from Seth's siblings.
Their plan was going smoothly and with just a little push, their plan would finally come to fruition but who would have thought this scamp would come and ruin it all.
They believed that after meeting this girl and recalling that they once abandoned her, the good impression they build in front of his family would crumble to dust.
"That-" Realizing that this scheme was going out of their control, they started to panic. Lilith started saying but was interrupted by Reen's abrupt standing, she sniffled as she wipe the tears from her face.
"It seems, seeing my face and me mentioning my mother only makes all of you nauseous… so, I better just leave to not ruin your day." She bravely yet with a quivering voice said
Reen said in choked up voice, based on her words she was clearly doing this for their sake as it was not a secret within the family that they still haven't even up to her death accepted Elena as part of their family which hit the guilty conscience yet again of this family which was actually what Reen wanted them to feel by saying those mentioned words.
