Olivia's eyes lit up with a glint of hope as she looked at Thomas, then timidly shifted her gaze to Edward who stood behind him, silent but full of intense emotions.
Charles Smith and Evelyn Taylor didn't rush to ask what the two had discussed upstairs.
Obviously, they too realized that their second son, who was focused solely on research, had an emotional intelligence so low that he couldn't even distinguish right from wrong.
"Edward, about your sister..."
Olivia's eyes suddenly brightened, thinking Evelyn was pleading on her behalf with Edward.
But then Evelyn paused and added, "I mean your biological sister, that girl with the last name Melendy."
Evelyn's tone was cautious when she mentioned Helen Melendy, as if afraid a single wrong word would desecrate her own biological daughter.
Olivia's face darkened immediately, obviously upset.
