"Fiona, no matter what, she is still your older sister. You can't speak to her in that tone. It's extremely rude! If others heard you, they would think I haven't taught you well, that our Chapman Family has no manners!" Noelle Patterson put on the air of a virtuous wife and loving mother, but her words were laced with a thick sense of grievance. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought Nadia Chapman had done something utterly outrageous to her!
"Manners? And Nadia Chapman has them? No matter what, you're her elder. Look at her attitude toward you! It's either mockery or sarcasm. Is that how a junior should act toward a senior? Dad, are you just going to let Nadia Chapman bully Mom like this? Aren't you going to do anything?" Fiona Chapman looked at Justin Chapman, deeply aggrieved. Their double act was brilliant, their coordination seamless. This scene had already played out more times than anyone could count.
