Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 482

Sebastian was stunned. His father was so against the marriage that he was threatening him with financial ruin.

"What's so wrong with Bella? Is it just her background? You can't marry into the Blake family without the right pedigree?

You're dismissing her just because of her origins? Isn't that incredibly unfair?

What did Lillian have back then, besides her family name?

She was a woman with nothing but a pretty face and a good family, inferior to Bella in every other way, yet you liked and approved of her so much.

Bella is hardworking and capable, but you refuse to see any of her good qualities."

Sebastian felt he had done more than enough, and so had Bella.

They had both tried so hard, so why wasn't his father satisfied?

Mrs. Blake stepped forward. After Sebastian finished his tirade, she spoke. "Sebastian, don't talk to your father like that.

We are only offering our opinion on your marriage to Bella.

There are many wealthy young women in Northwyn. I'm not saying you can have your pick of anyone, but you can certainly find someone better.

Why are you so insistent on Bella?

Her background is a problem—that's a fact. And her mother's reputation... do you want your marriage to become gossip, the butt of everyone's jokes?

A strategic marriage with anyone else would be more beneficial for you.

And yes, of course we prefer Lillian.

That girl is wonderful, in terms of her background and everything else. It's not that she isn't capable; you've just ignored her for so long that you've never seen her brilliance.

Wasn't she the one who was by your side when you started your business, helping you achieve so much success?"
