"You're a dropout who never even finished college. You have no business sitting in the chairman's seat."
I was floored.
If you looked at the Forbes list, how many of those titans had Ivy League degrees? These people had a few years of college under their belts and thought that made them gods. It was laughable.
"So you're telling me to leave."
Terry's lips curled into a sneer. "Yes."
I was so furious I almost laughed.

My words struck a nerve. His expression darkened instantly.
"You think I wanted to marry you? If it weren't for my father, I would've called off this engagement a long time ago."
The moment those words left his mouth, Beulah practically leapt with excitement.
"That's wonderful, Terry! You should've cut ties with this illiterate nobody ages ago."
"Everyone always wondered how a man of your status ended up with some country bumpkin. I felt sorry for you even then."
"Some backwater hick has no business standing next to someone as accomplished as you!"
