Chapter 195

"We have no need for more wealth."

"One can never have enough power or wealth," Rosetta retorted, her voice growing heated. "If you won't fight for it, everything will be handed over to me, which is exactly what our father wants!"

"It doesn't matter."

"If you wish to go against our father, you are on your own," Maxi added in the same calm tone.
