Suzanne took a deep breath, looked directly at Luis, and said, "Don't worry, I know I'm just the mistress. When it comes to your family's affairs, even your father-in-law can't interfere, let alone me."
"I have no right to meddle in your family matters."
"Aunt Suzanne, I respect and appreciate your open-mindedness!"
Luis was slightly taken aback, then said, "But I've always maintained at least a basic level of respect for you."
"I know, and I thank you for that!"
Suzanne's eyes softened as she said softly, "At first, when your eldest sister married Darian, they did come to visit us."
"Even if I'm not one to despise the poor and favor the rich, at least I was happy back then. At least I had your eldest sister's approval."
"But it was all fake. Darian's family is indeed well-off, but that has nothing to do with him as a person. He actually showed me about as much respect as he showed your mother-in-law."
