Tobias Perkins now secretly resisted all the oppressive arrangements made by his father.
For example, when he returned home today, he deliberately made Luke Perkins angry so that Luke wouldn't get a chance to talk about attending the banquet. But to his surprise, Luke still told them to prepare for it.
It seemed they had no choice but to attend tonight's banquet...
Tobias glanced at the worried Olivia Taylor and said, "Olivia, Father must have everything prepared. Let's just follow the arrangements."
In this house, only Luke Perkins' arrangements were obeyed, and there was no place for one to make his own decisions.
He was just a tool used by Luke Perkins to consolidate his power and status.
Olivia Taylor reluctantly looked at Tobias Perkins, whose melancholy filled his entire face. In the old mansion, her consolations seemed to be of no use.
This was a shackle that imprisoned people's hearts and true freedom.
