Quote
"I'll never forget this kindness on your part. Thanks for the tipoff. You're the best sister in the world and i'll always be indebted to you." (Yen Mah89)
Reaction
I think this is situational irony because this is not her sister's usual behavior toward her. She is usually mean to her and always reminds her that, their mother died because of her. She is always the one who makes her life the most miserable. I think her sister is a hypocryte because she just switches character which is incredible. If she loves her sister the way she says in the quote, she would not lie about her aunt because she knows how much her aunt means to her sister. Her sister is a really self-centered person, she will do anything to get herself out of trouble including lying on someone innocent.
