Uncle Frank: arms crossed, smirk So, kid, you gonna hand over the car and house, or what? Think you're the boss?
And I was going to give it all up to you because I was raised better
Raised better? Oh, you think you've been playing the good little girl, huh? laughs mockingly
I will give you the house and the car but on one condition
raises an eyebrow, smirking A condition, huh? Well, this should be good. Let's hear it, princess.
You will leave the family
Leave the family? Are you fucking kidding me? laughs derisively
leans forward, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, sweetheart, I don't think you realize how much of a joke you are.
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, do enlighten me, little miss! I'm just dying to hear this profound wisdom of yours.
You never wanted to be with us in the first place so you can’t just come here now and demand anything
grabs a stack of papers from the table and throws them at Staplea Demands?
You were a runaway, that’s why your father left everything to me because he knew you wouldn’t take care of your sister
stands up abruptly, pointing a finger at Staplea You think you know everything, don't you?
I don’t care what you think
takes a step closer to Staplea, lowering his voice menacingly You don't care what I think? Well, let me make something clear, princess.
Then get the fuck out of here
Uncle Frank storms out of the inheritance meeting, slamming the door behind him, leaving Staplea alone with her thoughts
pauses outside the door, taking a deep breath to collect himself before turning back Fine, princess. You want to play this game? We'll play.
That’s not a game it’s real life
smirks, crossing his arms again Well, then maybe it's time someone taught you a thing or two about real life, princess.
pushes off the wall and strides confidently back into the room Looks like someone needs a lesson in humility.
Why don’t you go back home
sits down across from Staplea, leaning in close Home? Sweetheart, I am home. This is my family, whether you like it or not.
not anymore you left us when you were seventeen
pauses for a moment, his expression softening slightly I... I left because I thought it was best for me. But I never stopped loving this family.
Then why didn’t you come back when you were eighteen
sighs deeply, running a hand through his hair I made mistakes, princess. Big ones.
narrows his eyes, clenching his fists Yes, I made a mistake. I got a girl pregnant and left because I was scared. But I never stopped thinking about this family.
leans back in his chair, his voice filled with determination Now, princess, I'm going to prove to you that I can be the father this family needs.
leans forward, placing a hand on Staplea's arm By showing you who I really am.
smirks confidently Alright, princess. First things first, we need to address that smart mouth of yours.
What are you gonna do kidnap me
laughs heartily Kidnap you? Oh, princess, if I wanted to kidnap you, I would have done it years ago. No, no. I have a better plan.
pulls out a small envelope from his pocket and slides it across the table to Staplea Open it, princess. It's your ticket to the best damn summer of your life.
opens the envelope, revealing a plane ticket and a note that reads "New York City, here we come!" What is this, Uncle Frank? A vacation?
grinning mischievously Oh, princess, it's more than just a vacation. It's a chance for us to bond, to show you what a real man can do.
stands up abruptly, clapping his hands together Alright, princess! Pack your bags, we're leaving tomorrow!
waves his hand dismissively School can wait, princess. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Besides, who needs school when you've got Uncle Frank teaching you the ropes?
