Suppressing her sadness, Melissa raised her head and locked eyes with him in the mirror.

“I'd never try to stop you from getting married, Marcus. And as for Matthew, I just want him to live a happy life. Whether he stands to inherit the Fowler family wealth or not, it doesn't matter to me."

But it mattered a lot to Marcus.

He loved Melissa, and he loved Matthew. Naturally, he hoped that his son could inherit everything he had to offer.

Unconvinced, Melissa was about to walk away.
