Richard and Marie sat on the sofa with grim expressions, while Damon stood nearby.
"Clark says you have feelings for a married woman. Is that true? Richard asked, his gaze stern and scrutinizing As Richard's most distinguished son, Damon was expected to uphold the family's reputation. Richard could not- tolerate any scandal involving Damon and a married woman.
Marie also looked displeased. Despite introducing Damon to many eligible young women, he hadn't shown interest in any of them. If it turned out he was interested in a married woman, it would be a major embarrassment.
Realizing the matter couldn't be hidden for long, Damon decided to be straightforward. "Yes." Richard slammed his hand on the table, his face dark with anger. "I don't care who you're interested in! You need to end this immediately!" Marie clutched her chest, unable to believe what she was hearing. "Damon, you've never caused us any trouble. With your status, you can have any woman you want. Why on earth are you fixated on a married woman?" Damon met their gaze steadily and replied, "She'll be divorced soon." Marie was so distressed she could barely speak. "Even if she divorces, it's unacceptable! If you're involved with a divorced woman, what will people say about you? They'll say you've lowered yourself to pick up someone else's leftovers!" Damon's expression remained impassive. "I don't care what people say. A woman's worth isn't defined by how many times she's been married." Hearing this, Richard threw his mug in frustration and stood up angrily. "I'm not going to waste any ttalking to you. If you continue to pursue that woman, we'll cut off our father-son relationship!" With that, he stormed out.
more Damon was his pride, and he would not tolerate any blemishes in his life. As for the woman, he would investigate her background. If she was reasonable, he'd offer her money to stay away. If not, he'd ensure she disappeared from his life.
Marie looked at Damon with disappointment. "Damon, are you really going to turn the Sumners upside down for a divorced woman?" Damon's expression remained calm, showing no sign of retreat or compromise. "Mom, it's notcausing trouble for the Sumners. It's you. Who I choose to be with is a personal matter.
