Chapter 870
With her back turned to Hans, Laurel indulged in an eye roll. Naturally, the Thomas family held greater wealth than ours, The Ruiz family’s assets amounted to nothing in their presence. “Why the silence?” Hans inquired with an anxious edge.
“They can’t measure up to us. The man she married is financially challenged,” Laurel fibbed, leaving guilt in her wake as she disappeared into her room. She would never admit that Millie had chosen a well-off partner.
However, her untruth bore unexpected gravity in Hans’ perception.
“Millie, | presumed you’d wed someone influential, thus cast disdain on my son, Yet, it seems you’ve simply married a penniless fellow. A lesson is due.”

Hans had carved out a reputation as a notorious troublemaker within the town. He staunchly refused to endure any setbacks, his gait exuding an air of arrogance as he strolled the streets. Their family’s involvement in the medicine trade, yielding more earnings than any other household in town, had inflated his sense of superiority to towering heights.

Hans had no problem with highly educated individuals; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so disappointed in Laurel, who hadn't excelled academically.
But now that Millie had rejected his son, his attitude underwent an immediate shift. Hans lifted his head, his voice projecting with volume, a spectacle that drew an audience in the street. “What's your intent?” Millie retorted icily.
“Lettell you this straight. No matter how many years you spend in school, women end up marrying well-off men, raising kids, and managing households, That’s a woman’s role, What’s the point of a few extra school years like yours? It’s squandering resources
Ascoff escaped Millie’s lips.
“Had you pursued higher education, your perspective might be less narrow- minded, Women aren't born solely to wed men, and such antiquated beliefs have been discarded long ago.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHans found himself caught off guard, struggling to fathom that Millie had openly branded him as pedantic before their neighbors. “Absurd! Preposterous.”
“Well, | can't speak for anyone else's academic inclinations, but | am fairly certain that Mr, ade els aco mM cyst ation. Otherwise,
