My father's face was contorted with hatred. "I don't care! Don't even think about marrying that bastard, or you'll have to choose between him and our family."
I thought their reasons were shallow until my mother revealed the truth. "Years ago, their company, Nexus Dynamics, stole technology from us. It was a robot designed to assist in hospitals, especially during contagious disease outbreaks. Instead of nurses, this robot could administer medicine to patients, reducing physical interaction. They stole it and tried to enter the robotics and medical market with it. This betrayal caused your grandfather to have a heart attack. Without him, the company suffered a recession, and many almost lost their livelihoods. Now, do you understand why we hate them?"
I should have listened to my family. I should have stayed in the Everhart mansion and never seen Ethan again. But I was blinded by love.
And now, here I was, facing them even though I had just lost my son.
Ethan frowned and said impatiently, "So I didn't take you and Gavin to university, and now you're making a fuss over such a trivial thing?"
