Veronica sat in the chair in the lawyer's office stunned. Her sisters and stepmother were also in the room and the news that only their stepmother would receive their father's estate was a huge revelation.
Betty got up first and started pacing the room. Molly got up and stood with her hands on her hips.
"Yeah, Jennifer. What the fuck? You've been married to him for a year and you get everything!"
"The three of you were spoiled. I had to convince him that you guys needed tough love. It was easy with Veronica since she got herself kicked out of college. Now you gals just need to get a job and pay for the rest of your education."
Jennifer got up and walked calmly out of the office. Before leaving, she turned.
"I will give you gals until tomorrow to move out of the house."
Betty and Molly stormed out of the office, not even glancing at Veronica. Veronica winched as she realized how much her sisters hated her at this moment.
"Come on sweetie. We'll stop by the house to pick up our stuff and go back home."
Matthew hugged Veronica tight as they walked out of the office, thanking the lawyer who was red in the face and so embarrassed at what had happened.
