"So just because she caused problems in their relationship, our parents decided to get rid of my sister?" Benedict asked his grandfather as a look of shock crossed his face.
Grandpa Ortiz nodded in response.
"Why didn't you do anything?" Benedict demanded. "Why didn't you just adopt her? Take her from my mom? Hide her?"
"Things were not that simple Benedict." Grandpa Ortiz said in a loud voice, scolding his grandson.
"Things are never simple grandpa!" Benedict said, answering back. "You could have saved all of us from years of hardship and torture."
"Your life was never hard, Benedict." His grandfather said. "You grew up in a good home Benedict. I did my best to provide for you."
"Yes, financially I had everything I could ask for." Benedict said, rolling his eyes. "But for years you trained me and Aiden to hate the Lims, the Sebastians, the Laurences, and the Reyeses."
