"I spent quite a bit of money raising you too, and I can't bear this cost alone, so I... used part of the dowry left by your mother. I really can't give it all back to you!"
Derek Evans pleaded earnestly, "Xaviera, actually, all these years, I've always had great expectations for you. I know you hate Rose Campbell and Mag, so I haven't let Rose enter our house now. It was only because of Mag's engagement banquet that I allowed her to return. But you've turned the Evans family upside-down over such a small matter. How can I hand over the management of our family to you?"
"Xaviera, I'm your father. Even though we had some misunderstandings, you are always my daughter. You can't... cause such unpleasantness with your own family. It's not good for your reputation, you know..."
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door. Caleb Mamet slowly looked up, "Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan, please come in."
Xaviera was startled for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around.
