Diego glared at his younger brother and voiced out his discontent fiercely. "How can you give the ring to Aileen? She is not even a member of the Tatum family."
That comment literally stabbed Aileen's heart. She laughed sarcastically but only inwardly. They should know who she really is.
But, too bad, her mouth was shut tight and she couldn't say anything. Aileen could only force a smile and continue pretending.
"That's right Uncle George, that ring shouldn't be given to me," Aileen said softly and in a persuasive tone. "Even if the ring has to be given to someone, Hailee is the right person for it. She deserves it more than me."
"Of course," Zia said quickly. "How could such an important ring fall to Aileen? I can't understand."
Zia's sharp words, got a fierce look from Ed, who had always sided with George all this time, because he had not been blessed with a son, so he already thought this youngest nephew of his as his own son.
