"Dahlia, I—" Marlon gulped nervously. His insistence and stubbornness faltered once Dahlia confronted him. "I did it for us. He is your son, and you come from such a prestigious family. Wouldn't you be ashamed knowing that you will have a woman with a shady background and no manners to continue your legacy?"
"I like her," Dahlia said. "Despite her flaws, Katherine is exactly the kind of woman that I want to be as my daughter-in-law. She is as kind as she is strong. She is a great mother as well. What more do you need?"
"She's not like us. She's born as a commoner," Marlon scorned. He had no intention of changing his way because this was the idealism that he held since he was young. "Have you seen what happened to our family? We got ruined because of Penny. That low-born street skank ruined everything for us, and Katherine will also do the same."
