"The elders certainly won't approve of someone who's weak and incapable," Lyke Zhekova remarked, "They don't necessarily expect one to accomplish great deeds, but at the very least, they should be able to maintain composure during difficulties and be strong, not just continually dependent on others."
"Take you and Cindy Clarke, for example, you're both very independent women. Even without Adrian or myself, you would still excel in your own fields."
"Old Madam likes Cindy Clarke not because of Morgan, but for Cindy herself. Even without Morgan, Old Madam adores Cindy Clarke immensely. Despite not having a noble lineage, and even having quite a troublesome maternal family..."
"It can be said that Cindy grew up in a tough environment, yet she never faltered. Even later when she was schemed against during her hardest moments, she made it through. A young woman with a child yet she managed to forge her own successful career."
