Veronica continued in a determined tone, "Involving yourself in a wealthy family is a serious matter, do you understand?"
"I do."
Shirley replied with a worried expression, "That's why I want to give it a try."
"Alright. Go ahead and give it a shot since you have feelings for him. That way, you won't find any regret, even if it doesn't work out in the end. Otherwise, it will be a regret you'll carry for a lifetime if you never try."
