Chapter 61

''Susan, I thought you mentioned that you were leaving, and were not interested in Richard anymore? Why are you here then? I thought that you should have left by now, or do you still like him?'' Joey asked Susan after Jacob had left them.

Susan thought that her stepsister was despicable. The way she showed off different faces and dispositions easily, depending on who she was around, made Susan sick to her stomach. A moment ago, Joey was fierce like a tigress, and seemed as if she would pounce on Susan, just because Jacob was with them. Now he had excused them, she was like a lamb looking for it's mom. Susan couldn't even tell which disposition was real for Joey anymore.

''It's not because of any Richard or whatever. It's business that I have to take care of, so just accept it that way,'' Susan replied.
