"You cante at the right time. Take Sandy inside to meet your husband. Let's settle her job today. It doesn't have to be a high position. Just let her work as a secretary by his side." Rowena said as she reached out to grab Elvira's arm. Elvira raised her arm to avoid Rowena's hand and took two steps back. "Your stepdaughter has nothing to do with me. Why should I find her a job?"

"How can you talk like that?" Rowena questioned. "Sandy is my daughter, and so are you. You're sisters. How can you say she has nothing to do with you?"

Elvira was unable to suppress her anger and snapped, "Did she come out of your womb? She is someone else's child, and yet you're so foolish to treat her like your own."

Sandy's eyes welled up with tears at Elvira's words. "How could you say that about me? In my heart, Mom is my biological mother, and I'll always treat her like one and be good to her."

"Don't cry, Sandy," Rowena comforted, glaring at Elvira with disapproval and blaming her for making his beloved adoptive daughter cry. "Do you have no sympathy? Sandy lost her mother when she was 10. How pitiful is that? Since I took her in as my daughter, of course I'll treat her as my own."

"And what does her losing her mom at ten have to do with me? I lost my mom at 10, too. She abandoned me to be someone else's mother. So in the end, it's like my mom died and I became an orphan no one wanted!" Elvira shot back, her frustration boiling over. Rowena's face darkened with anger. "Watch your mouth! How can you curse me like that?"

As Rowena and Elvira argued, Sandy stayed silent, watching the scene with an indifferent expression. Anyone with eyes could tell she didn't care for Rowena. Only Rowena remained oblivious and kept clinging desperately to her role.

Elvira sneered and said to the security guard. "Remember their faces. From now on, don't let them in under any circumstances." With that, she stomped away in her high heels.

Rowena was stunned, and Sandy froze, unable to believe Elvira really didn't care about her mother anymore.
