Lilian slammed her hand on the table, fury radiating from her.

"Are you an idiot? A woman like her is fine for a fling, but marrying her? Do you think Mom and Dad would ever agree to that? Absolutely not!"

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Madeline. It was clear she understood Luke's character.

"Listen carefully, Madeline, if you truly love my brother, then stop pestering him! You know what kind of person you are."

At that moment, Felix finally spoke up. "It's true that Maddy worked as a hostess in a karaoke bar. That's undeniable, and I believe she wouldn't try to argue against it. But everyone deserves a chance, don't they? "Maddy's father left her with a heavy debt, and she had to take this job to pay it off as quickly as possible. She has maintained her integrity. She was just a hostess and didn't do

ing inappropriate."

He walked over and patted Luke on the shoulder, continuing, "I'm saying all this because I think your character is worth defending. At least Maddy didn't make a mistake in choosing you. One day, you'll be grateful for the decision you're making right now." Grateful? Lilian scoffed.

"I'm telling you, they don't have a future! And let me make this clear, Madeline Brooks. If you don't leave my brother, I will use my connections to make sure you can't survive in Yartford."

Luke was furious as he shouted, "Don't you dare!"

With her arms crossed, Lilian remained unmoved.

"My brother has this ridiculous fantasy of finding a woman who isn't materialistic or snobbish, so he pretends to be an ordinary office worker in Yartford. Do you think that is really the case?"

She raised her wrist, clearly showing off her watch. "This Omega watch isn't cheap. It is a little over a few hundred thousand dollars. Our family is not an ordinary family! A person like you isn't even good enough for an average person, let alone for our family. "I advise you to be wise. Otherwise, you won't even have the chance to regret it later.

As Madeline's expression shifted, Luke quickly explained, "It's not what you

think! Maddy, I really didn't mean to hide my family background. I just wanted to find someone I could genuinely share my life with. If my family really disapproves, I can cut ties with them.

Cut ties? Madeline hadn't expected that Luke would be willing to give up his privileged life for her.

"You're right. I really don't deserve you, Luke. Please don't look for me anymore."

Madeline struggled free and turned to leave. Lillan, who was about to say something, suddenly smiled broadly. This was the outcome she wanted. Otherwise, it would have turned into a different scenario entirely if she had taken action. Just then, Felix stopped Madeline.

"Maddy, do you really like him? That's all I want to know-just answer me truthfully.

Madeline looked at Felix. When she turned back, she saw that Luke's eyes were filled with hope, as if this answer would determine everything.

"I do. I really like Luke. Although we haven't been together long, he makes me feel good." Felix'smiled and took Madeline's hand, placing it with Luke's.

"Then keep going. I will support you both!" Felix declared.noveldrama

Turning his gaze to Lilian, he spoke firmly, "The Sanders family isn't as exclusive as think. Madeline would be losing out by joining your family!"
