Now that their true intentions had been exposed, there was no need to keep pretending.

Gorden's expression hardened as he spoke bluntly, "Since you already know, it's simple-you, as the older sister, should help your brother. Give us sixty thousand dollars to pay his debt, and we won't make a fuss about you not taking care of us." Maria burst out laughing as if she'd just heard the punchline of a great joke. She turned to Sidney, "Isn't this hilarious? They abandoned me at an orphanage because I was a girl, and now they come crawling back asking for money." Sidney's face grew cold as he listened.
