Family Business

By OfHearthAndStarsand

"Quit complaining, Rhea. Help with the family business. You're twelve, not three."

"Boring. Why are we doing rentals anyway, Mother?"

"Resale profit, dear."

"This one we're flying to looks gorgeous. Why sell it?"

"Climate change will ruin its value."

"Wait, and the tenants..?"

"They're the ones exacerbating it!"

"Are we ... evicting all eight billion, Mother?"

"The buyer wants them, shockingly. Drastic lease changes are imminent though."

"I feel bad for them."

"They're destroying your property! Wish we owned it right after construction while vacant. It had better value then."

"Who built this beauty, Mother?"

"They call it 'the big bang'."
