"Girl, do you know that pig-head guy?" Theresa asked.
"I do. He's from the second branch of the Whelan family."
"Sigh. I thought the Sinclair family was complicated enough, but the Whelans are messy too." Theresa sighed.
"Actually, being an only child like you is nice. Your family doesn't have all this drama," Elena said.
Theresa's parents were very much in love. Her father adored her mother and never messed around.
And he wasn't obsessed with having a son. His wife's health wasn't good, so they only had Theresa, and he didn't mind having no male heir.
Because of this, Theresa was simple, innocent, and sweet.
She had been doted on by her parents since childhood, living a privileged life better than most.
"Elena, you don't know. Because my dad only has me, my uncles are staring at our family like vultures. They think my dad has no successor. They're all plotting bad things. Every family has its issues."
"And I'm annoyed too. Why do I have to inherit a billion-dollar fortune? I don't want it. Managing a company is such a hassle! But my dad only has me. The pressure is huge! I really wish my dad would pop up with an illegitimate son to take the pressure off me!" Theresa sighed again.
"If your parents knew you thought like that, they'd beat you to death! Do you think illegitimate children are a good thing?" Elena couldn't help but roast her.
She really didn't know how good she had it.
This was the typical 'if you fail out there, you have to go home and inherit billions' scenario.
The Ellington family only had one heir. It was her inescapable fate.
