The Princess and the Pauper

Over the years, Kenneth and Louisa led a life that was the envy of the town, hailed as the town's wealthiest couple and showered with respect wherever they went. Lucas and Beverly, on the other hand, seemed forever doomed to languish in their shadows. To the world, it was always Kenneth's family that shone the brightest, with Lucas and Beverly as mere afterthoughts. Some even looked down on them, feeling they were not as capable as their elder brother and his wife. “Is it because of this, you two wanted to take down Kenneth and Louisa—is that it?" Cornelia asked with heartache. "Yes." Beverly lifted her gaze. "Whose fault is it that you never gave us a fair chance from the start?" Cornelia was furious; she never thought this dearly-bought daughter-in-law could be so vicious in heart and dare to talk back, anger driving her to fiercely slap her. A crisp slap resounded in the room, leaving a vivid handprint on Beverly's cheek. "Do you think we decide let Kenneth run the family business randomly? If he lacked the talent, or if he was a profligate, do you honestly think we would entrust him with the family business?" Cornelia trembled with anger, "Since they were little, many great teachers and mentors posed challenges to them, and Kenneth's responses were always superior to Lucas's.” "That's because Kenneth is older than Lucas, and you've been grooming him since he was very young, so naturally he knows more." Beverly's voice was heart-wrenching. "Kenneth is only two years older than Lucas. Besides, when we handed over the business to Kenneth, we gave Lucas assets of equal value. If you two were as talented and business-savvy as you claim, then over the years, your ventures should have outshone Kenneth's." Cornelia retorted, her chest heaving with indignation. "But the truth is, you've thrown countless obstacles in Kenneth's way behind the scenes, and yet, they've risen to the top through their own merit. What about you two?" The fact proved that entrusting the business to Kenneth had been the right decision. Even if Lucas and Beverly had the business acumen, their narrow-mindedness was detrimental to the long-term development of the family business. "Is it because the corporation wasn't handed over for you to manage that you felt wronged and thus harbored thoughts of murder?" Kenneth looked at his younger brother with a heart full of sorrow, "Do you remember when we were kids, how our parents would come home late from managing the business, and you told me how nice it would be if they didn't have to work so hard."
