Spoiled by the Silver Fox

This conversation was starting to make Marilyn uncomfortable.

She frowned and said, "Steph just started acting. She doesn't have any connections. Love should depend on fate. Both Zandra and Zola are pretty. They'll definitely find good men in the future."

"Well. If Steph doesn't want to hook them up, at least she can help them find a job. You guys have been close since childhood. Zola is beautiful and slender, and she even learned dance and piano when she was young, next time you film, you can take her with you. I bet the director would definitely notice her and give her a role. She'd perform well."

Stephanie felt like she was dealing with a weirdo.

Carol was so confident but Stephanie didn't have that confidence. She doubted whether she could just walk into a film set and get noticed by the director, let alone perform well.

Was Zola even capable?

"I honestly can't do that. I'm a newbie myself, just filmed a web series and only as a supporting role. How could I have the ability to bring someone into the film set? They have rules now, no family or relatives allowed. It'd interfere with other actors' performances." Carol's face immediately turned serious, "You can't do this, can't do that. Stephanie, you've just stepped into society, and you've already forgotten to be grateful! Don't forget, your mom is a daughter of the Bishop family. Without the Bishop family, there'd be no Marilyn. Without your mom, there'd be no you!"

Stephanie retorted angrily, "What exactly are you trying to say? Just because my mom is a daughter of the Bishop family, we must obey you and do whatever you say. If we don't, then we're ungrateful and heartless?"

"Isn't that right? Mom, Dad, look at her now. Does she even respect us anymore?" Zandra and Zola watched as Stephanie got berated by Carol.

If nothing unexpected happened, their grandparents would start lecturing Stephanie soon. It would be interesting to see how she'd respond.

Sure enough, Stephanie's grandpa slammed the table and yelled, "Stephanie, you little bastard! If it weren't for Marilyn insisting on giving birth to you, you wouldn't even be in this world! You've ruined your mom's life, do you know that! My hard-earned daughter ruined by you. Now we've raised you, and you're still ungrateful!"

"My mom raised me, I'm grateful to her, and I'll be good to her for the rest of my life! Do I have to be grateful to you guys, who clearly dislike me? I understand your purpose today. I'll tell you now, when my mom was sick, you guys didn't care about her. Now you think a few nice words can erase the past! You're demanding us to do whatever you say! Is that even possible? I want to make it clear, my mom and I are doing well now and will only do better in the future. But don't expect any benefits from us!"

"You little bastard! I'm going to hit you!"

Stephanie's grandpa instantly stood up as if he wanted to attack her.

It was as if it was the most natural thing to do.

Marilyn stood up in distress, trying to stop him, "Dad, what are you doing, Steph is still a kid!"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Sebastian Ingram, who had been silent all along, didn't say anything either but pulled Stephanie behind him, protecting her.

His demeanour was somber, daring anyone to lay a hand on Stephanie.
