Greed and Kindness

Josh only has one uncle, Cleo Jaggers. Josh's father, Harvey, was never friendly with Cleo ever since they were little, even though they were brothers. Josh's grandparents died when he was young. Josh's family is a nuclear family, with not much communication with other relatives. Also, Josh's family stayed in another country, apart from their native country, which made their relations worse in their native country. But somehow, few relatives come to visit Josh's house whenever they were invited to attend an occasion. Harvey never sends his brother, Cleo, invitations to their house. But Cleo has sent invitations to Harvey, even though he never accepts them. And now Josh's family is going to stay with Cleo, what a strange turn of events. Josh always wondered why his father despises his brother, did something happened in their past? Did that past incident or whatever, made his father so strict? Josh never knew his father, he was a mystery to him.

Cleo Jaggers was sitting in a rocking chair, with his legs stretched, cigarette in his hands, ashtray nearby, staring into the window, watching the sunset as the sunlight hit his face. Tired he was, but excited too, to see his brother's family.

A light voice came from behind, calling 'Dad'.Cleo knew who it was, it was his only adopted daughter, Lily Jaggers.

"what's the matter sweetheart," asked Cleo, wondering why his daughter called him. "Don't you have work to do, dad?" asked Lily, curiously. "yes, I do have work to do, tons of them, but today is the day your uncle, Harvey, will be arriving" said Cleo, who hasn't mentioned the date of Harvey's arrival to his daughter. Lily wasn't much excited to hear that. She never understood why his father still cares about his brother, who treats him like shit. She asked "why are you still respecting that Harvey? Didn't he treat you badly? It's obvious that he's coming for your money and not out of love." Cleo grinned and said "there is a reason for it. you don't need to worry about it." Lily still didn't understand what he meant. As time passed, Horns started beeping at the gate. Two security guards opened the gate and allowed the limo to enter. There was a single road from the gate towards the Mansion. Neatly trimmed bushes were planted on either side of the road. on the front side of the Mansion, facing the front door of the Mansion, there was a huge garden filled with flowers like Rose, Jasmine, Marigold, etc. The garden also had statues and fountains with lotus on it. The Garden was divided into two because of the road in between, which leads to the gate. The backside of the Mansion had a large swimming pool, bright light blue colored, a cool bar on the side for refreshment, and light shining on the surface of the water, because of the sunlight, and neatly arranged swimming pool chairs. The Mansion was colored white. Truly what a Richman can afford. The car was parked in front of the house. Josh came out first, then his mother, Janet Jaggers, and finally Harvey. The luggage was handled by the butlers. Cleo came, opening the front door, welcoming his brother's family, and expecting his brother to be unusually kind towards him. Harvey smiled facing his brother, Cleo smiled back, both hugged each other. Even though Cleo knew all this affection Is because of Greed, he was happy, unusually happy. For Cleo, it was like dream come true, a dream he saw years ago which he thought would never happen. All went inside the Mansion. Harvey, Janet, and Josh were awestruck after seeing the insides of the Mansion. It had beautiful interiors, portraits, pictures, a big royal-looking carpet laid at the center of the living room, Comfy Sofas placed in a circle with a teapoy in the center. Just when they entered the Luxurious House, Lily who was watching the guests enter her house, jeered "Enough with the acts Gold diggers!"
