Her words made Tanya feel incredibly furious and shamed!
Honestly speaking, her status was indeed too low in comparison with Joel's.
After all, the Smiths' status was clear for all to see…
Moreover, she was already way past the point in her youthful days where love eclipsed all.
Were it back then, she would have said mockingly, "So what even if I don't have a notable background? Joel and I are truly in love with each other!"
However, the five years she had spent living abroad had made her thoroughly understand what life really was like. She had also come to understand that one's birth and family background were indeed their first hurdle in life!
Some people were born at the top of the pyramid, but she was instead at the furthest end of the line, unable to hold a candle to them.
She clenched her fists tightly, and her face flushed with shame.
