A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Debby sighed deeply, remembering something. "Emily, I heard from Tina that you two are enemies. How did that happen?" asked Debby.

"Mom, it's a long story." Emily roughly narrated the story to Debby and towards the end of it, she said,"Anyway, you must be careful and be on your guard. I think that although she failed this time, she won't give up easily and will spare no effort to hurt us next time."

"I see." Debby frowned and asked as she couldn't hold back her question,"So you mean that Tina hates you because you are together with Jacob? Emily, did you...did you break them up? Were you a home wrecker?"

"Mom!" Emily said in surprise with her eyes opened wide,"Do you think I'm a person of that kind? Jacob and Tina didn't have anything, not even a real relationship. Tina made up all those things based on her own wishful thinking. He had long rejected an arranged marriage with her."

Debby couldn't find any excuse to retort, but could only pretended to persuade her genuinely,"Nevertheless, Emily, do you think you and Jacob are well-matched?"

"I don't see why we are not well-matched. He loves me, and I love him back," answered Emily.

"Emily, you should know that all I say is for your own good." Debby said earnestly and a little worriedly,"There is a big difference between the status of our family and that of Jacob's. How can you ensure that you'll be respected and be happy after you get married? It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife of his class. Rich people like Jacob, are beyond our reach."

Emily froze a bit and said in confusion,"I don't understand, Mom. When I was dating Jack, you supported me, but now, you seem to oppose strongly that I am dating Jacob. Why? They are of the same family."

Debby didn't know how to respond and didn't say anything for quite a while.

Why was she not in favor of Emily dating Jacob? It was definitely because Tina loved Jacob. Tina was the apple of the eyes of her prestigious family, and Jacob was the king of the business world. They were the most well-matched couple in the world!
