“Let me ensure I understand correctly,” Yao counted slowly on his fingers.
“Your oldest brother is an alcoholic private detective.”
“Yeah.”
“Your second brother killed your abusive father.”
Grace nodded sleepily. “Self-defense mostly but yeah.”
“Your third brother is in a committed relationship with a sex doll.”
“Bianca is very nice

“And your twin brother throws himself off buildings

“The internationally famous actor.”
“Yep.”
