“I’m your sister and Mom’s biological daughter. Why shouldn’t I be here? It’s the weekend, so I came to visit Mom,” replied Melanie with a pretense of innocence.

She was extremely annoyed at Herbert.

Doesn’t he understand the importance of familial bonds? I’m his own sister, yet instead of treating me well, he’s treating me so poorly. What a display of bad manners!
