Chapter 266
Austin agreed. “Yeah, it’s time those two got a taste of their own medicine.”
He turned to Kevin. “Does Dad know about what’s happening online?”
Kevin replied, “I heard the major shareholder went to talk to him, so he definitely knows by
now.
“Not sure how he’s feeling about it now though.
“From what Mavis wrote in her diary, looks like she and Dad had something going on for a while.
“She said Dad cared about her and secretly helped her a lot.”
He took a deep breath. “Plus, since Nicole isn’t even Mavis’s ex-husband’s kid, Dad might’ve really betrayed Mom.”
Caleb was seething at his dad. “Who would’ve thought Dad was just a total phony?
“That’s why I say, let him spend the rest of his days with Mavis and Nicole.”
Kevin snorted, “Mavis and Nicole would probably be so happy they’d set off fireworks.”
Austin nodded, “Actually, Caleb’s right.
“If Dad really did Mom dirty, and kept drilling into us that we had to take care of Nicole, the poor little sister-
“…and that is how we ended up losing our real sister.”
“Let those three live their own lives together.
“But they’re not getting a dime from the Hammond Group or the family.”
Yeah, they were clueless about Nicole, but Dad’s got a lot to answer for too.
Always going on about how they should treat Mavis and Nicole like family, saying Nicole was so pathetic as a kid and they had to look out for her like she was their own sister.
Dad kept saying it over and over, so eventually they just started treating her like their own sister.
Caleb was taken aback. “There’s no way Dad would ever let go of the Hammond Group or the family fortune.
“You can tell how much Dad values the Hammond Group-he’s still holding onto all the

power, hasn’t even let Kevin take charge yet.”
Austin chuckled. “Did you guys forget? Dad signed a prenup when he married Mom.”
Caleb hadn’t even thought about that before.
Caleb’s eyes lit up. “That’s right! The prenup is ironclad-if Dad cheats or has a kid outside the marriage, he’s out with absolutely nothing.
“And he broke both rules.”
As much as they resented their dad, they couldn’t deny they still had feelings for him.
If he kept siding with Mavis and Nicole, then let him go live with them, penniless.
That way, not a single penny from the Hammond family would ever go to Mavis and Nicole again.
When it’s time to take care of him in his old age, they would still cover his living expenses.
Caleb turned to Kevin and asked, “Do you have that prenup?”
Kevin shook his head. “No, I don’t have it.
“But before I came, I called the lawyer Mom trusted before she passed away. He’s got the
agreement.
“If Dad really broke the terms, we can take him to court and make sure he leaves with nothing.
“That lawyer has our back.”
Austin thought for a moment. “But there’s something else’ we need to think about-what if Nicole isn’t actually Dad’s biological daughter?
“And what if we can’t find any proof that Dad cheated on Mom while they were married?”
Right now, all of this was just them guessing based on what Mavis’s ex said in his video.
If they couldn’t find any evidence, and Nicole wasn’t even Dad’s kid, then there’s no way Dad would have to leave everything behind and go live with Mavis and Nicole.
Honestly, that’s a pretty real possibility.
After all, before Mom passed away, they saw for themselves just how much Dad doted on her.
Back then, Dad was super careful around Mom, just like Mavis is with him now-he was always tiptoeing, afraid to mess up.

Mom had him completely wrapped around her finger.
With Mom’s personality, if Dad had ever cheated or had a secret daughter, there’s no way she wouldn’t have found out.
Caleb frowned. “It’s not impossible.”
Honestly, he just hoped Dad hadn’t done anything to hurt Mom, or had a kid on the side.
But he was really worried Dad might get fooled by those two and end up giving away shares and assets. That would seriously piss him off.
Kevin smiled. “That’s why Mom was so sharp. She left us another backup plan.”
Austin and Caleb both turned to him, curious. “What backup plan?”
