With her back turned to Hans, Laurel indulged in an eye roll. Naturally, the
Thomas family held greater wealth than ours,
The Ruiz family’s assets amounted to nothing in their presence.
“Why the silence?” Hans inquired with an anxious edge.
“They can’t measure up to us. The man she married is financially challenged,”
Laurel fibbed, leaving guilt in her wake as she disappeared into her room. She
would never admit that Millie had chosen a well-off partner.
However, her untruth bore unexpected gravity in Hans’ perception.
“Millie, I presumed you'd wed someone influential, thus cast disdain on my son,
Yet, it seems you've simply married a penniless fellow. A lesson is due.”
Emerging from the supermarket, Millie was on the cusp of heading home when
she found herself waylaid by a malevolent Hans. Millie halted, her gaze harboring
a piercing sharpness.
Hans had carved out a reputation as a notorious troublemaker within the town.
He staunchly refused to endure any setbacks, his gait exuding an air of
arrogance as he strolled the streets. Their family’s involvement in the medicine
trade, yielding more earnings than any other household in town, had inflated his
sense of superiority to towering heights.
“Mr, Ruiz.” Millie addressed him in a measured tone.
“Drop the formalities. Some people start thinking they're superior after a few
more years of schooling. You reckon the schoolding guarantees marrying a
wealthy man and leading a life of opulence?”
Since Millie had entered Preagend University, the neighbors had taken a liking to
her.
Hans had no problem with highly educated individuals; otherwise, he wouldn't
have been so disappointed in Laurel, who hadn't excelled academically.
But now that Millie had rejected his son, his attitude underwent an immediate
shift.
Hans lifted his head, his voice projecting with volume, a spectacle that drew an
audience in the street.
“What's your intent?” Millie retorted icily.
“Let me tell you this straight. No matter how many years you spend in school,
women end up marrying well-off men, raising kids, and managing households,
That's a woman's role, What's the point of a few extra school years like yours?
It's squandering resources
A scoff escaped Millie's lips.
“Had you pursued higher education, your perspective might be less narrow-
minded, Women aren't born solely to wed men, and such antiquated beliefs have
been discarded long ago.”
Hans found himself caught off guard, struggling to fathom that Millie had openly
branded him as pedantic before their neighbors.
“Absurd! Preposterous.”

“Well, I can't speak for anyone else's
academic inclinations, but I am fairly
certain that Mr, Ruiz holds no
enthusiasm for education. Otherwise,
when you vied for the position of
village mayor, you wouldn't have
been passed over due to your
inability to read.” The content is on
