"Don't lose hope! You've still got assets, you've got this huge lab, you..."

"What assets?!" Florence broke down, her eyes blazing with anger as she confronted Holly, "It's all because of your scandal with Hugh back in the day!

Just turn on the news now, and you'll see the story about me being a bastard child has already spread.

How am I supposed to live after this? My dignity as a Sheldon family lady is gone!

And I'm stuck with this... burden inside me...

Mom, why? I climbed the social ladder with all I had, playing sick to manipulate others, I had Whitney under my control, I even secured Ludwik, but tell me, why has it come to this? Ha, what's the use of a lab?
