Simone Sterling was a fake heiress, but she suffered from depression. Her parents, deeply concerned about her, had always been careful with their words and actions. After a long period of separation, they finally reunited, but they were afraid Simone might be upset, so they only acknowledged me as their adopted daughter to the outside world. I wasn't allowed to speak loudly; my smiles couldn't be too wide; and I wasn't allowed to show any signs of dissatisfaction in front of Simone. My parents always said, "Simone is ill. You need to understand her." But I couldn't understand. I was sick too.
