Whereas his son's jaw is peppered with stubble, Anthony has a neatly trimmed beard. "I came to see how my future daughter-in-law's business looks like. Maybe I'd even buy it if I like it well enough." Rare anger bubbles in my chest at his words, so with the sweetest smile on my face, I say, "I'm sorry Mr. Crosswalk, but it's not for sale."

Peter admitted, analyzing the resemblance. "Exactly. That 23-year-old young man is my son. I did some digging and found out he was brilliant in school—he had the potential to be exceptional. But he didn’t have the means. He had to pause his studies several times because of financial struggles. His mother worked cleaning houses, barely making a living." Theodore’s voice tightened as a lump formed in his throat. "Do you know how ridiculous this is? You and I—we made a fortune. And now, after buying the refinery, we have even more. Meanwhile, my son and his mother scraped by with whatever they could, doing whatever they had to in order to survive.

I muttered. “She’s a generation younger than me. I could have been her dad. Besides, she’s married to my son.” “As if that would stop you,” Gray mumbled under his breath. “Hey. I still have some morals left.” “Yeah? Where? Your pinky toe?” he commented sarcastically, and I realized that I couldn’t win this discussion. “Seriously, Joe. You need to find someone. You’re starting to act like my uncle who hasn’t met a pussy in his whole sixty-two-year-old life.”

“Yvonne hasn’t even gotten a single moment of peace since she married your son! You keep saying that she doesn’t have money but the truth is that she used to be a rich lady from a good family. It was only after she married your son that she became poor and had to live almost in poverty! “To make things worse, she has to deal with a horrid mother-in-law like you! You keep going on about how poor she is, why don’t you ask yourself why your family and son are so poor? “Also, you keep going on about preserving your bloodline as if you Whitmans even have any kind of business empire or prestige to preserve. Quit acting all self-important about preserving your bloodline! It’s not as if you have any

“You can’t do this, Dad! You know you’re in no shape to take on more work!” “He’s right. We don’t lack money, right? We’re both breadwinners,” his daughter-in-law chimed in. “We don’t need to live in excess to live comfortably, do we?” Cillian waved dismissively. “Bah, this has nothing to do with how much I’m gonna earn. You two know me—avarice is no trait of mine. If it were, we’d be living in a posh mansion instead of having the two of you squat in my old, unimpressive apartment!

Seb smirked at him. “Me? How am I supposed to do that and why should I even destroy a relationship that could prove beneficial to me?” Mr. Crown shrugged. “My future son-in-law is filthy rich, although, he doesn't seem to be much of a materialistic person, but that doesn't change the zeros in his bank account,”

On the day Caspian and I got our marriage certificate, he dropped a bombshell: as the illegitimate son of the Thorne family, he hadn't inherited a penny. Instead, he was saddled with a massive gambling debt left behind by the family. I didn't despise him for it. For the past five years, I lived with him in a moldy basement, working three jobs to support him, while our son, Alaric, survived on discounted canned food that was nearing its expiration date.

But their actions were really no surprise to me as they had never for once truly accepted me as one of their own and always treated me like a trash. My mother in-law had always dreamed of her only son marrying a wealthy wife. She used to say so many harsh words, always reminding me of my poor background. She even said she wouldn't mind if the rich wife her son married looked like me; ugly and overweight, as long as she had a lot of cash. Well, she has a reputation of a money gobbler. With a stoic expression on her face, my mother-in-law silenced Morgan's laughter with a piercing stare and she quickly composed herself.

XAVIER “Son, so tell me. How hard are you working to take over from your father? You know he's a very great man and a lot is expected from you. Both as an Alpha and as my son in law. I can't think of my daughter marrying into a better family.” I hate it when he calls me son. But I didn't say anything because there was no reasonable answer to that question. I didn't think she was lucky to marry me. She would just be marrying a man who will never love her and will only see her as a political alliance.

At their age, sleep wasn't as plentiful, and even if they were financially well-off, they still liked going to markets to look for the freshest ingredients. Susan answered casually, "They do look quite fresh." Kathy continued, "By the way, Susan, have you thought about what I said before? My son is a top student from one of the top universities in the world, and he's now working at an international company with an annual salary of five million dollars.
