Brittany wasn't exactly the favorite daughter of the household, so why put on such airs?
"Brittany, my dear sister, although Mr. Elmo is older than you, he also has some achievements. Why are you so hell-bent on turning him down?" Patrina exaggerated with a smirk, "Why do you reject him so firmly?"
"Brittany, does your husband have any other qualities apart from being a pretty boy?"
"Are you refusing Elmo because you've got someone else in mind?"
Someone mentioned the gossip on the college forum, scoffing, "I heard you're pretty tight with Mr. William, are you planning to marry him?"
"Brittany, Mr. Dillion is the only son of the Dillion family, and you are a divorced woman. Do you think you're his match?"
Sydney gave a satisfied smirk hearing this.
Elmo's face turned sour, "Miss, You should think about whether to marry me or continue to be with a man who lives off a woman because of his looks."
Brittany was beautiful, which gratified his vanity.
But the fact that she was divorced made him uneasy. He could wait until she got pregnant before marrying her, no need for a wedding ceremony.
He wouldn't want people to know he married a divorced woman!
While Elmo was wavering, Brittany put down her cup, "Elmo, I've made up my mind. I'd rather marry a beggar than consider you."
Her standards were way too high for someone like Elmo.
Compared to Isaac, Elmo was nothing!
Thinking of this, Brittany realized she unconsciously compared him with Isaac... that was an insult to Isaac!
"Are yu comparing me to a beggar?" Elmo yelled furiously, pointing at Brittany's nose, "Do you really think you're some princess? I'll have you know, it's your luck that I'm interested in you. Don't be ungrateful!"
Hannah grabbed her cup and splashed the water at him —
Everyone was caught off guard by Hannah's intervention, getting some water splashed on them too. She snorted, "Elmo, you're a disgrace to our alma mater!"
"You’re over thirty, potbellied and you think you're match for our Bri? You earned fifteen hundred a month and paid twelve hundred for your mortgage, why should Bri help you pay your bills? Shameless!"
