The Great-Uncle glanced at the quiet Sharon Sterling, then sighed and said to Timothy Sterling, "Timothy, the cat's out of the bag now, and it's causing a huge uproar. Even though Aurora Sterling isn't my biological granddaughter, she still calls me Great-Uncle. We're all Sterlings—we're one family. If this scandal of hers isn't dealt with, how are your third uncle, your siblings, and I supposed to show our faces in public?"
"Exactly. They're both your daughters, but what a difference! I'm starting to think this illegitimate one of yours is pretty decent. At least she's well-behaved and doesn't pull one embarrassing stunt after another! I'd say the only person your family can rely on in the future is this illegitimate daughter." Susan Sterling's tone was laced with sarcasm, showing no regard for anyone's feelings. It was just like how she berated the young doctors and nurses in her department—she would lash out directly, never bothering to spare their dignity.
