Joseph knew that his son wasn't very smart, so he explained everything clearly to him. "First, you have to find out the reason why they insist on marrying the daughter of the down-and-out Lambert family and their true attitude toward this woman. Then, you have to determine if Ellen's operation has failed. We can only decide what to do after we know the situation."
Robert was used to being lazy and didn't want to work. However, ever since his precious daughter Winnie heard about Edwin's engagement, she had been making a fuss at home and wanted to kill that person from the Lambert family. She even wanted to rush to the Anderson family and ask them why they would rather choose the notorious Caroline over her!
Of course, Joseph wouldn't allow Winnie to do that. However, he was also dissatisfied with Edwin's choice. In his opinion, even if Edwin didn't choose Winnie, he should at least choose someone with a better family background.
