"Man, Lemira's so tacky, flaunting all those accessories like a nouveau riche."

"I bet Lemira's just showing off those expensive pieces on purpose, trying to make Evelina feel bad."

No matter how much she tried to please or behave obediently, her brothers all favored Evelina, with Lucian even declaring he wished Evelina was their biological sister.
