“I can get a PR firm to sweep this under the rug. I could have handled it myself.”

Ronald listened until I finished speaking. “Yulia, is Anya really your sister?”

His unexpected question made Yulia’s heart skip a beat. Without thinking, she shot back, “Of course she is my

sister.”

“I’m just curious. What exactly were you doing during those months you disappeared? It’s one thing to have a tight

grip on the company shares, but doesn’t the sudden appearance of a sister strike you as odd?”

Yulia pressed a hand to her chest, trying to calm her racing heart. “What’s so odd about it? Only someone with a

“Yulia, I really hope Anya is your sister.”

Yulia bit her lip and stayed silent.

But Ronald persisted, “So, is she really your sister?”

That question had been eating at him for a while. Yulia’s disappearance and the sudden appearance of a sister

after her father passed away.
