Joy Dalton wasn't nearly as optimistic as Sharon Sterling, so she warned her, "The Sterling family has only just acknowledged you, so you'd better be on your best behavior. Watch what you say and do, and don't make any rash moves."
"Geez, Mom, why are you being so timid all of a sudden?" Sharon Sterling said dismissively.
"Are you even listening to me?!" Joy Dalton raised her voice. "My original plan was completely ruined because of your recklessness. Haven't you learned your lesson at all?"
In short, Joy Dalton would not allow anything to jeopardize her marriage into the Sterling family.
Seeing how genuinely angry Joy Dalton was, Sharon Sterling finally pouted. "Fine, I get it. I'll be on my best behavior and keep my head down. I'll listen to whatever you say. Happy now?"
