John married Cynthia after his wife passed away, and she is awful. She hated kids before, and she hates them more now that Cherish is going to inherit the business and be in charge of her siblings interests if he passes before they come of age. Cynthia will only receive less than half of what Damien or Grace will get. Onyx and Opal don't trust her, and the kids believe the dogs, John doesn't...yet.
