A family like that would be nothing but a burden from now on.
The Blake Group seemed to be doing well for now, but Sebastian's character was limited, and his ability to judge people was even worse.
In the future, they might very well end up going down the same path as the Mercer family.
For that reason, the matriarch chosen to lead the family needed to be steady and mature.
Lillian was such a wonderful girl, yet he couldn't see a single good thing about her.
Instead, he was completely infatuated with that homewrecker's daughter, showing no foresight whatsoever.
What was most infuriating was that he also harbored such sordid intentions.
Seeing that the Mercer Group was failing and that Bella’s mother was causing so much trouble, he now wanted to back out of the marriage.
So he did know how to be afraid of becoming a laughingstock!
If he had stuck with his choice of Miss Ward, unwavering in his decision, I might have respected him for it.
But the moment her family ran into trouble, he wanted to abandon her.
It was a good thing he chose her himself. If we had arranged it and something like this happened, we would have been utterly humiliated.
Forget it. Children have to make their own way. He can do whatever he wants.
I'm old. I never had a hand in raising him, so I suppose I deserve to suffer like this in my old age.
Let him be. The two of us will just live our own lives. We should meddle less in other people's affairs.
I'm still thinking we should go see Lillian this weekend. We can have the chef make something nice and try to get closer to that girl.
That way, if there ever comes a day when we truly need to ask her for a favor, we'll be able to bring ourselves to do it."
