Mom Rejects Daughter She Gave Up for Adoption, But Sibling Secretly Stays in Touch

Imagine reuniting with your long-lost sibling, only to have your mother shun them for not meeting her high standards.

After a few dinners together, it became clear that the mom’s obsession with status and appearance would drive a wedge between her and her newfound daughter. But our protagonist couldn’t just abandon their sister, so they secretly stayed in touch and even sent her money when she lost her job.
