"Yes." Mrs. Lane said slowly, "Your father and I have talked it over too, you're not young anymore, and there's already gossip in Aurelia that you're shamelessly trying to stick to the Fairchild Family, but they're not paying you any attention."
She looked at her, sneering lightly, "And you, do you think you can climb up to the Fairchild Family? You've brought such disgrace to the Lane Family. If I have a daughter in the future, won't her reputation be ruined by association with yours?"
Sylvia Lane bit her lip, "But I'm not familiar with him..."
"The more you understand, the more familiar you'll become." Mrs. Lane asserted decisively, "Now that you're so grown up, it's not appropriate for you to stay at my house all the time. The last time your company said you had to pay a billion in breach of contract fees, it was I who found someone to cover it for you. I have no qualms of conscience as your stepmother, so don't cause me any trouble, okay?"
