The term "illegitimate daughter" is considered a taboo in the Scott family.
Over the years, Sophie and Oliver only caught snippets of it during arguments between their mother, Alma Ferreira, and Ernesto Scott. Otherwise, Alma, Ernesto, and the entire Scott family never mentioned the matter.
It is said that it was decreed by their grandfather, Aaron Scott.
Sophie and Oliver vaguely know that they have a half-sister, who shares their father's surname, born by Ernesto with another woman during his affairs outside.
Throughout these years, Ernesto has focused on his career and neglected family affairs; his relationship with Alma is but a facade due to the other woman and the illegitimate daughter.
When they first heard about it, Sophie and Oliver wondered whether Ernesto would divorce Alma and bring that mother and daughter back home. However, with no sign of that happening, they gradually let go of these worries.
Unexpectedly—
A bolt from the blue, utterly unanticipated.
