In the midst of Angie’s fury, Hank, the representative of the opposing party, wore a smirk and remarked, “Sister-inw, this is my elder brother’s home. Do I really need to greet you as a younger brother?”


    Angie, visibly upset, retorted, “Hank, your elder brother is married, meaning half of this house belongs to me. If you enter without my permission, that’s called barging in!”


    Hank scoffed, scrutinizing Angie with disdain. “Oh, sister-inw, do you even realize that you and my elder brother are married? But have you truly fulfilled your duties as a wife?”


    With great effort, Orrin rose to his feet and chastised, “How dare you speak to your sister-inw like that? She deserves respect, just like a mother!”


    “Respect her like a mother?” Hank sneered. “Big brother, don’t forget that she’s still an outsider in the Sun family. As the daughter-inw, she hasn’t given birth to our family’s eldest grandson. When our parents passed, there was no grandson; she carries the me for that!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Hearing this, Angie’s expression darkened, and she looked hurt and aggrieved.


    Orrin, filled with indignation, seized a bone china bowl and hurled it to the ground, shattering it at Hank’s feet. “Hank! Don’t you dare make a scene! Your sister-inw nearly lost her life due toplications when giving birth to Daisy. I vowed never to let her go through that again, and our parents respected that decision when they were alive. What right do you have to criticize her?”


    Hank responded with disdain, “Big Brother, our parents may have respected your decision, but it doesn’t change the sadness this caused me! I’ve just been too embarrassed to confront you about it!”


    After a brief pause, he continued, “Honestly, I even suspect that our parents’ early deaths were linked to the pain and stress in our family, and it’s all because of your couple!”


    Stefanie, initially holding back her anger due to her position as a junior, could no longer contain herself. “Second uncle! Watch your words! This is my family, and it’s not your ce to raise your voice here!”


    Before Hank could respond, a younger man, a few years his junior, chimed in sarcastically, “Oh, what’s this, my dear niece? You’re a big star now? Does that mean you can ignore your second uncle? Remember, no matter how famous you are, you’re still just an actress!”


    This speaker was Carl, Orrin’s third brother and Stefanie’s uncle.


    The three brothers of the Sun family were known for their loyalty, righteousness, and strength, which reflected the family’s values. However, the second and third brothers often seemed out of sync with their names.<fn9db2> ?????? ???? find?novel</fn9db2>


    Beside Carl stood a young man in his early twenties, eager to join in the mockery. “Exactly, cousin! Our family’s ancestral motto clearly states that the descendants of the Sun family must never pursue a lowly profession!”


    “Moreover,” he added, “acting used to be considered a non-respectable industry, barely even part of the lower tier. Now that your status has slightly improved, you still rank at the bottom. If you’re an actress now, you’ve tarnished the honor of our ancestors!”


    Stefanie grit her teeth in anger and shot back, “Carl, all you do is waste time and indulge in excess. You have no right to criticize me!”
