Vivian waved her hand as if brushing his questions away. "All those questions are irrelevant right now," she said firmly. "Just trust me and trust my ways. I know how to get information. I even told your stepfather about it, but the man didn't even look surprised. Do you know what that means? It means he already knew and didn't bother to tell me!"
Her face tightened with frustration, her voice rising with each word. "That man is beginning to act strange. He's really getting on my nerves."
Fredrick blinked, trying to process what she had just said. "Wait a second," he blurted out. "Aren't they… sisters?"
Vivian turned to look at him, and suddenly she burst into laughter. It wasn't a small chuckle, but a loud, full laugh that shook her shoulders. She laughed as if he had just told the most ridiculous joke in the world. "Sisters?" she repeated, scoffing. "Sisters, my foot!"
