At that time, I said I didn't care about family status, as long as the bride had a good character and they loved each other.
But now, her family was acting like they were at the top of the social pyramid.
I looked at them and countered, "Your manners and attire are just ordinary, so how can you look down on me?"
My words annoyed them. "What would a mistress who hasn't seen much of the world understand? We may not seem like anything special now, but soon we'll be the in-laws of the richest woman. With her backing us, we'll become millionaires."
"That's right. Someone like you, who's so low that you have to be a mistress, should feel lucky to even be in the same room as promising people like us."
"You dare to speak disrespectfully to us? Your arrogance knows my bounds."
Their words struck me dumb.
It turned out they considered themselves superior just because of me.
They believed that because Gloria was marrying my son, they were becoming the in-laws of the richest woman and thus had the right to look down on poor people.
They even imagined themselves as millionaires already.
It was ridiculous.
