It is called nurturing, but it was actually taming.
Since childhood, he had brainwashed that child, making him understand the foolhardy mistakes of his father and grandfather, so as to devote himself entirely to his enemy. This was the most ruthless aspect of Alexander Summers.
Purple Summers remained silent.
She knew that what Alexander did was understandable.
He did not have the surname Howard, and was young. To establish absolute prestige in the muddy waters of the Howard Family, he had to use ruthless means to make people respect and submit.
But knowing was one thing, feeling was another.
Purple grew up in the sunshine, she received a good education, studied law and social norms; Alexander, for her, was from another world.
Yet she tried to have an equal conversation and plan a future with a man who was on the edge of moral law.
It was naive and ridiculous.
Unconsciously, a bit of coldness swept through Purple's heart.
