The situation with the Wood Family really makes it easy for others to doubt whether Ellen Young is truly a child born into the Wood Family.
Indeed, the Wood Family is considered a rich family in Water City, and their public image is not as extreme as their treatment towards Lucy Wood and Ellen Young.
It's a genuine rich family, and with a stroke of luck in entering that circle, Daniel Wood's father became a well-known entrepreneur, and then it was Daniel Wood's turn.
But the family had not been wealthy for long before those in the circle deemed it fit to be called a circle of the rich.
For the higher class, even treating the Wood Family as nouveau riche wouldn't be a problem.
It was for this very reason that the Wood Family harbored such extreme ideas.
Daniel Wood's father came from a place where the preference for sons over daughters was very strong, and even today, the mentality there hasn't changed much.
