Chapter 7 The Sterling Family


    Chapter 7 The Sterling Family


    Burton had three sons and one daughter. His eldest son, William, was the head of a military


    department and usually lived in the military residence. William''s two daughters, the older one


    named Adeline and the younger one named Bridget, were both married, so they were not present


    today.


    Burton''s second son, Frank, was a high-ranking official of the country, who often appeared on TV.


    He married Tanya and Tanya gave birth to Jason, the only son of the Sterling family. They also had


    a daughter named Ericka who had joined the army.


    It was said that Frank had nearly cut the ties with Burton in order to marry Tanya who was from an


    inferior family background. Rumored had it that after Frank and Tanya got married, they had not


    returned to the Sterling''s for five years, because Burton and his wife, who was still alive at that time,


    did not allow Tanya to enter the Sterling''s.


    They hadn''t made peace until the birth of Jason and Burton and his original wife personally went to


    visit Tanya in the hospital. After that, Tanya''s position improved a lot in the Sterling family. Frank


    was henpecked and usually enjoyed the world of two with his wife, so he was also absent today.


    Burton''s third son, Nics, was a businessman who had married Heidi, the second daughter of the


    Tupart family. Heidi was also a well-known figure in the Capital City. She did not have any children,


    so she raised Nics''s illegitimate daughters and educated them.


    Now all the girls of the Sterling family were the children of Nics and his mistresses, so they were


    about the same age. It was a pity that Nics did not have a son even if he tried so hard. Maybe


    this was the reason why Heidi could put up with it.


    Burton had started his career by doing business, so Nics and his whole family had lived in the


    old house with the old man since he had taken over his father''s business. At this moment, Nics''s


    five daughters were chattering non-stop. Rejo was really impressed by Burton who didn''t even


    frown when surrounded by so many noisy girls. Truth be told, Rejo could barely stand it.


    "Ahem!" Burton coughed gently, and the whole living room quieted down. Clearly, he was quite


    mighty in the Sterling family. He was in a good mood today and his serious face showed a rare


    smile.

    "Grandpa, is there any good news today? Look at you! You''re beaming so happily that I don''t even


    dare to recognize you. Are you really my grandfather? I thought you were my father."


    Hiry, Nics''s seventh daughter, was eloquent. She not only asked about what Burton was going


    to announce but also praised Burton for looking as young as her father. At the same time, she


    managed to tter her father by saying that he took after Burton. Rejo sighed with emotion


    inwardly, "Hiry is really brilliant. No wonder her family dotes on her so much."


    Everyone in the Sterling family burst intoughter. Heidi scolded with a smile, "Girl, you''re being


    rude. How can you talk to your elders like that? Only your grandfather and father would spoil you


    like this. Otherwise, no one would dare to talk to the elders like this!"


    "I only dared to say that because I knew my grandpa and dad wouldn''t be angry. I just have loving


    elders."


    "What about me? Do you think I have a vicious stepmother?" Heidi pretended to be unhappy.


    Hiry grabbed Heidi and acted cute. "Mom, it''s also because you dote on me. Otherwise, I wouldn''t


    have dared to do that."


    Suddenly, Burton raised his chin, and Hiry and Heidi immediately stopped talking. Burton turned


    to look at Jason, who was sitting on his left and grinned from ear to ear. "Well, I asked you toe


    just to tell you a piece of good news. Jason will live at home from now on."


    After listening to Burton''s announcement, Rejo almost ran away. She couldn''t believe that Jason


    would live in the old house from now on.


    Rejo''s stiff and pale face was a little conspicuouspared to the happy expressions of the


    Sterlings.


    Georgina raised her eyebrows. "What''s wrong, Miss Lynn? Are you unhappy to hear the news?"


    She was still reluctant to call Rejo aunt, but of course, no one med her.


    Jacquelyn smiled. "Of course not. Rejo is really pleased with it. She is in poor health, so she


    looks pale. She has even asked for leave to rest at home."


    Everyone looked away and stopped paying attention to Rejo. Instead, they talked about other


    things. Georgina rolled her eyes at Rejo. As the youngdy of the Sterling family, Georgina


    obviously couldn''t be bothered to talk with Rejo, a girl brought to the Sterling family by Jacquelyn.


    However, Rejo had perfect curves, which made Georgina, who had tried all kinds of methods to


    get an ample bosom but to no avail, feel very upset. Therefore, she disliked Rejo, thinking that


    Rejo was a bi*ch who only knew how to seduce men like her mother.


    Rejo felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles at dinner and had serious indigestion. She


    didn''t know why, but Jason was sitting right opposite her. He could see everything she did, which


    really drove her crazy.


    After dinner, Rejo slipped into Joana''s room and did note out.


    Joana yawned and got up from the bed. "I''m going to take a shower. When are you going to leave?"


    "Joana," Rejo called out in a sweet voice.


    "W-What do you want?"
