Chapter 523

Sydney's eyes flicked back to the diamond brooch with a mixture of greed and resentment. She sighed, her voice soft and pitiful. "Melvin treats you so well. I wish I had a big brother like him."

Sarah gave her a sweet, almost innocent smile. "Well... you might as well keep dreaming. Your mom can't just pop out a brother for you. Unless... maybe your dad...” She paused dramatically, then widened her eyes as if she'd just said something scandalous. "Kidding! Just joking!"

Sydney's temples throbbed with anger.

Sarah had never talked like this before. But that was fine. Sydney told herself that Sarah would get what was coming to her soon enough.
