Genevieve had never suffered such humiliation in her life. Gritting her teeth against the pain in her back, she glared viciously at Charlotte and Hiram. “You Sterlings think you can treat me like this? I swear, I’ll have my brother drive your entire family out of the city!”

“Dr. Sterling, this is too much! How could you let your brother push Genevieve like that?”
