I had heard about wealthy people and their marriages, especially women who are not in the same social class as they are. My father himself comes from a very wealthy family.

My dad was the civilised one, and he didn't accept the duke title but he did accept the money though” they both chuckled. "You can call it old money”

“I, Marlowe Hale, donate eight billion!” Another loud voice rang out, and everyone turned to look. It was Marlowe Hale, the most famous jewelry tycoon in Florence. He had once crossed paths with Andrius at Phoenix Manor. Andrius had saved his life back then, so donating eight billion was completely reasonable. “I, Mateo Clayton, donate five million!” In the past, there were three major families under Anthony Henderson, the richest man in Sumeria. They were the Timberlands, the Hendersons, and the Claytons.

We walked down a long hallway lined with oil paintings and gold-framed mirrors. Now. Can I explain to you that… My family had money back home—my dad owned a chains of dealerships—but this was different. This was "old money." This was the kind of wealth that didn't need to show off because it just was. If my family’s bank account was a roar, this house was a whisper that could silence a room.

Even though I am blessed and part of a wealthy family with good financial resources, we weren't part of Spanish high society. As the CEO of a large company, my father was sometimes invited to these events, but I never attended because I was too young. Noah's family, however, breathes this life. My quick research showed me that their money is what we call "old money" — accumulated over generations — and they circulate among the large hospital they own, a hotel chain, and other real estate investments. Always arranging marriages between heirs from families of the same reality.

Fortunately, the other party didn't mind our tardiness. This person was the big shot Bruce had mentioned, who was the head of the Johnson family in Olhan, Selina Ryzen. The Johnson family had been in business for decades. They had accumulated unimaginable wealth over the course of generations. So, no one could ever dream of winning against them in terms of wealth. Although Selina was middle-aged, she looked as though she was still in her early 30s. Her poise was perfect, and every move she made exuded an easy sort of elegance.

New money parents called the office, outraged and frightened, demanding reassurances they had no right to ask for. The old families didn’t call. They met. They shifted assets. They counted debts. And they waited to see how far the Sombras would go. Everyone understood, at least at the top, that Sombra power wasn’t the polite kind that came with trusts and trade councils.

Old money had lived alongside that darkness long enough to be afraid of it.

As soon as they were out of sight, the younger one walked closer to him and said in a grumble, "You do know we'll be held accountable if they steal anything in the estate, right?" However, the elderly man reached out and smacked his head hard and the younger one cried out in pain. Holding his head, he asked in a pained tone, "What was that for?" "I might be getting old but the face of that man is something I will never forget." The other man said, staring in the direction Pierce just walked through. "What is he? A billionaire?"

“The significant families. The ones with history and reach and the kind of money that has been money for long enough that it no longer needs to announce itself.” “Old money.” I surmised. “Exactly.” He said. “I heard you met Lotus.
