Sorry, but Mercy Ends Here

Henry Grant was taken in as a boy by Grant Sr. and his wife, brought into a house he did not grow up in and given a name that came with money attached. Before he died, the old man named Henry the heir over the family's adopted son, Sean Grant, and left him a fortune. None of it changed how the house actually ran. For three years Henry gave everything he had to Sean, covering for him, working for him, taking blame that belonged to Sean, and none of it bought him anything but more humiliation. Somewhere in those three years he ended up in prison. He gets out on the same day Sean is holding the ceremony to formally take over as heir, family and staff gathered, papers ready to sign. Henry walks in and freezes every account, every asset, everything with the Grant name on it, before Sean can put his signature on a single page. The people in that room who spent three years deciding who mattered and who didn't find out the numbers were never Sean's to begin with.
