Rich Girl Gone Bad

The man stared at her with a serious look of disapproval:

• My dear, you can't continue like this... all those crazy exclusive parties with after-hour guests in your hotel suite will end up in a disaster... and the reputation of the family...
• Oh dad, give me a break - she responded while standing up from the sofa. She had been listening to her father's advice for a while, and she realized she didn't have to anymore.
