However, she had to consider Michelle’s future.
“No,” Cynthia’s words were frosty. Why should a stranger benefit from the hard work of
her parents?
However you look at it, she is your sister, Can’t you spare a bit for her?” Mandy’s control
slipped as she heard Cynthia’s
words
“You can ask my father. Ask him if he’s willing.” Cynthia replied.
Mandy seemed utterly deflated…

“Where is my mother?” Michelle asked with a trace of confusion in her eyes after waiting
for Mandy for quite a while.
“Outside,” Cynthia replied c oolly

With only the three of them left in the living room, Jonathan asked, “How did it go?”
“You should go and talk to her. I think she has something to tell you. Shirley and I will wait

Mandy, her eyes red and raw, threw Cynthia a glance but remained silent. This scene left
Shirley and Jonathan instinctively believing that Mandy had misunderstood Cynthia’s
words, unaware of Mandy’s charade.
