Chapter 581
Stephanie shot Marilyn a quick glance. Seeing her mom's downcast face, clearly torn, she kept quiet.
She was really ticked off though.
She knew her mom was going to go soft.
She snorted, "Why should I bother arguing with someone who doesn't matter? The moment you threw fifty bucks in my face, you ceased to be family."
Sammy Bishop's face subtly shifted. He looked at Marilyn with bitterness. "I was really under a lot of pressure. I had no money, and I knew you were sick. I cared about you, but I couldn't help. I had a few drinks and took it out on Steph. Can I apologize to Steph? I am her family after all."
Truth be told, before Marilyn got sick, their families had a normal relative relationship, just like many other typical families.
Even though there were conflicts, they had to keep up appearances because they were siblings, so they had familial ties.
Sammy Bishop may not have been warm to them, but if they were bullied, he would still defend them.
But for Stephanie, who Marilyn had been worrying about for over a decade, causing Marilyn to remain unmarried even in her forties. Sammy Bishop had never had a good impression.
He had been very rude to Stephanie, throwing fifty dollars in her face was the venting of long accumulated resentment.
Because in his eyes, Stephanie was just an illegitimate child.
But now things were different, this illegitimate child had become an actress.
Word was she even scored a boyfriend working in a big company.
Marilyn looked at Stephanie with pleading eyes.
Stephanie was really pissed, she glared at Marilyn and turned around to enter the house.
"I just woke up, haven't even brushed my teeth or washed my face yet."
Hearing this, Marilyn couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "You all come in; haven't had breakfast yet, right? I'll cook."
"I'll help you." Patty said eagerly.
Stephanie stormed back to her room and sat on the bed.
Sebastian came out of the bathroom, and seeing her fuming, couldn't help but chuckle. "What's up?"
"My mom is such a pushover. The

"Maybe your mom still remembers the feelings she had for her brother."
"What feelings? When she was on her deathbed, her brother didn't even lend her the money to save her life."
"We young people won't understand.
their emotions. Perhaps, he is your mom's cherished child. Maybe in your mom's heart, he's still a kid. She would instinctively forgive his mistakes."
"He's over thirty, still a kid?"
"Isn't it normal for a sister to love her little brother?"
Especially sisters from poor families, they were taught from a young age to love and take care of their brothers.
Many sisters were naturally forgiving of their brothers' mistakes.
Stephanie mumbled, "Whatever... as long as she's happy."
"Don't get mad, and don't make a fuss, otherwise you'll put Mrs. Bishop in a tough spot."
"I won't hold it against my mom. She had to go through a lot to hang onto her life. I just hope she can live happily from now on. If she can forgive family members who didn't care about her life, what's there for me to be upset about? I'm just worried about her."
