Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 240

Jerome also gifted a famous work of calligraphy, one his wife had flown to an auction house to acquire after a long wait. It was rarer and more expensive than Joshua's painting.

But Mr. James Sr. merely gave it a cursory glance, responded with a lukewarm "Mm," and had someone put it away.

The heart is biased, and Mr. James Sr.'s favoritism towards the children of his second wife was now on full display.

Although Jerome was still the president of the James Group, everyone in their circle knew he was being systematically undermined by Joshua, the vice president.

Mr. James Sr. had always favored his younger son, Joshua.

Teresa's gift was a jade sculpture of a monkey presenting a peach of immortality, specially commissioned from a master carver using the finest jade.

It was a gift of immense value and sentiment.

Mr. James Sr. also gave it a brief glance before having a servant take it away.

Teresa couldn't hide her disappointment. With her husband in prison and the Spencer family bankrupt, she had hoped for a few words of comfort from her father in her most vulnerable moment.

But alas, a new wife means a new father. Mr. James Sr. had long since stopped caring about her.

Not only that, but Marcia used the opportunity to mock her. "What a filial daughter. Her husband's family is bankrupt, her husband is in prison, and she can still afford such a gift."

In front of all the guests at the banquet, Marcia's aggressive taunts made Teresa's face flush red. She was on the verge of tears, utterly humiliated.
