Brix was speechless. It took time for his mother's words to sink into him entirely.
"What is it now, Brix? You can't just assume that I will sign this paper without asking anything in return. You know how much effort and hard work it took for me to get to where I am right now. Yes, I'm doing everything for you but you can't have your way so easily like that. I want to secure your future and that includes the woman who you should marry.
You need a backup in case things go wrong. Look at your father for example. He chose a woman without a background and when he went bankrupt what happened? There was no one to support him. We were so poor Brix. He is lucky to have a brother like Jack but what if Jack was not around or he didn't have money as well? Where would we have ended up?
