Before leaving, Archie Dawn gave William Cole a cold, dismissive glance.
A full-grown man, brought to tears like this?
What a joke!
A worthless man, always worthless.
For a complete hour.
Maybe even two.
William Cole had no idea how much time had passed. In the end, his heart went cold, and he became numb.
For three years, William Cole had tried to play the role of a good husband and a good son-in-law, but it was all pointless. Ruth Dawn had never seen him in a good light, nor had she ever accepted him as her husband.
Her father, Archie Dawn, and her mother, Eloise Torres, appreciated Dwright Brews much more.
As for William, no matter what he did, no matter how hard he tried, regardless of how well he performed, he was only a lower-class man!
Yes!
People are differentiated into classes, and he, William Cole, would forever be the lower class!!!
A lower class individual who would never fit into the Dawn family!
Archie Dawn's words tonight made all of William's efforts over the past three years come to naught.
His dignity and innocence were worth less than Dwright Brews' reputation.
"Brring, Brring."
Suddenly, William Cole's cell phone rang, breaking the silence in the car.
"Young Master..." came Jones' voice.
"Hello, Jones..." William's voice was somewhat raspy.
"My apologies, Young Master! I had to keep track of your safety, so your phone calls were being monitored. Just now...I heard everything Archie Dawn said!"
"I do not agree with his remarks! But he was right when he said we humans are divided into classes," Jones' voice continued.
A pale smile appeared on William's face: "So, even you think I'm a lower-class man?"
The light in his eyes suddenly extinguished, filling with a grey despair.
Gloomy, dark, hopeless.
"No! Young Master, they are the lower class, and you, you are the upper class!"
Jones shook his head steadfastly: "Young Master, if you would just say yes, we would immediately send a plane to fetch you.
It's not just Archie Dawn who should bow down to you, even all the magnates in Midocen city would kneel at your feet at your command."
"Don't hesitate, Young Master, say yes! For the sake of the Dawn family, it's not worth it..."
Jones continued to plead: "Young Master, your inheritance has been confirmed, just give the word, and the world's first trillion-dollar corporation will be yours."
"Sigh! Young Master, why do you bother with this family..."
He didn't understand why William was willing to forsake billions in wealth to remain a despised son-in-law.
William was silent for a few seconds: "Jones, I... I can't let go of Ruth. I've truly fallen in love with her. Archie Dawn can look down on me, but I can't let Ruth misunderstand me. I need to clear everything up!"
William was determined to return and explain everything to Ruth Dawn.
He returned to the hospital only to find Ruth Dawn gone.
"Jones, where's Ruth?"
Jones smiled: "Don't panic, Master. I can track her location."
Soon, he had located her.
Riverside No.1 Hotel.
"Ruth went to the hotel?" William's heart dropped.
What could Ruth be doing at a hotel late at night instead of returning home?
