Chapter 18 - The Legacy Restored
Back at the estate, the evening sun cast a warm golden light across the long mahogany dining table.
Lorna sat at the head of the table, surrounded by her family, her grandchildren playing happily near the fireplace. Byron walked over, placing a fresh cup of tea in front of his mother, leaning down to kiss her cheek.
"Everything is set for the foundation's first shelter opening next month, Mom," Byron said softly.
Lorna smiled, taking his hand and squeezing it tightly. "You gave me back my dignity, Byron. But more importantly, you reminded me that our family's true strength isn't in our money—it's in how we protect each other."
Byron looked down at the white tablecloth, spotless and pristine under the warm chandelier light.
"Nobody will ever disrespect you in this house again, Mom," Byron promised quietly. "Never again."
