Elsa was upset. She was not as ignorant as Violet; she knew that she could not be with Anthony. But she could still marry a rich man. She was the daughter of the Rivas family, and she was not bad herself. So, why did she choose Simon out of so many rich people? Because he said that he loved her! But what kind of love was this? They got into a huge fight, and Simon left. She chased him, and she could not tolerate him embarrassing her in public.
She said sarcastically, "At the end of the day, it’s because of your uselessness. Right?" She said, "Look at Mr. Crawford; he could give anything to his wife." And she questioned, "What about you? You said that you love me, but you can’t even get me my dream wedding gown!" She yelled, "You should get me what I want if you love me. Please be clear that you’re the one who wants to marry me. But what kind of love is this when you can’t fulfill a small request?" She continued to say, "You’re just simply saying it but not doing it! Simon Pierce, are you even a man?"
Simon did like Elsa, and he fulfilled all her requests. But he could not take it anymore. "Mr. Hernandez, you saw how I treated her, right? We were happy when we first came, and I was still giving in when she asked for a wedding gown that was more expensive than Mrs. Crawford’s!" Elsa requested a wedding dress that cost at least one hundred million dollars, but Blair did not have it. Others might lie to her and simply take out a wedding dress and claim it to be one hundred million dollars, but not Blair. Blair was sincere when he introduced all the wedding gowns. "Yet, she kept saying that she had to be better than others! She wants something like Mrs. Crawford!" He said, "I can’t give it to her, and then she started to compare me with Mr. Crawford!"
A man hated to be seen as a useless man. And they could not accept disloyal partners. Elsa did not say it, but he knew that something was off when Elsa kept talking about Anthony. "Yes, I’m not Mr. Crawford." He sneered, "But you’re no Mrs. Crawford! Can you be sane?" Elsa was upset and snorted, "Simon Pierce, are you even a man? How can you belittle your fiancé?" She started to cry. I’m not bad either; why can’t I get the best wedding gown? Why is he humiliating me in public and putting all the blame on me? She was not like this, but because of Simon... She felt wronged and cried even harder.
Josh was shocked. He thought, Why did she cry all of a sudden? Wasn’t she pressuring people just now? If she really thinks that he doesn’t love her, she should just leave! Josh could not understand her. Oh, Lilly told me that a malignant spirit is never simple. I have to let her expose herself. Josh looked at Blair. Simon’s heart softened when he saw her cry.
Blair hurriedly said, Alright, Mr. Pierce, Ms. Rivas is crying; the two of you should settle it at home. You guys are about to get married, right?" He continued to say, "I believed that she said these out of anger; she’s actually a nice woman." He said, "Think about it; she’s an excellent woman; why did she choose you out of so many men? She must love you a lot." He then said, "Maybe she’s a strong character, but she doesn’t mean what she says. We’re men; we should tolerate women."
He calmed down after hearing his words, and he regretted it. This was the power of a simple Deep down, he knew that she loved money more than anything, but she chose him out of so many rich men, so it must mean that she loved him. Simon felt that he was at fault too; they would not fight in public if he did not stomp out just now. She chose to chase after him and not walk away, so she just needed an excuse to make up with him.
The Holy Mother Ghost was on top of Blair, and Blair was convincing him. "Eighty million dollars’ worth of wedding gown might be expensive, but she’s the love of your life. And you’ll only marry once in a lifetime." He then said, "And one hundred million dollars is nothing. Your parents will give it to you if you ask. Your family can afford it."
Simon gave in under the Holy Ghost’s influence. And he was a Simp himself. He hugged Elsa and said, "It’s my fault; don’t cry." He then said, "I will buy you whatever you want. But Mrs. Crawford’s gown was the best. I’ll top up the rest of the money to get you whatever you want, alright?"
