Chapter 27

“If I remember correctly, the youngest member of the Quinn family is pushing 40 years old, right? You guys always had a thing for second marriages. That’s not really my thing.” Maeve said, not bothering to sound nice at all.

Sharon glared at Maeve.

Philip, one of her uncles, nudged Sharon, indicating for her to save her words.

“Maeve, don’t take that too personally. Your aunt just doesn’t want you to get mistreated by the Brooks,” he said. Maeve was much more willing to be civil with him.

Sharon wasn’t that much older than Maeve and had a seductive, foxy appearance. Philip married her after getting a divorce with his first wife, and to say things plainly, Sharon was simply a lowly mistress to the rest of the Scotts.

Philip liked her a lot, which meant the other family members had to at least pretend to respect her.

However, Sharon always loved to start fights with Maeve.

Maeve used to keep her mouth shut on Philip’s behalf, but Sharon eventually ended up kicking Philip to the curb once the Scotts ran out of money. She also stole all of his savings.
