My heart skipped a beat. I wondered if it was just my imagination, but Edward seemed to mind his background.

In Clusia’s long history, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children in wealthy families had always been significant. It was like an ingrained sense of superiority that could greatly influence a person’s life.

“He did mention it, but I didn’t press for details,” I confessed, unable to keep lying any longer.

Edward let out a self–deprecating laugh. “In my family, with our old traditions of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, I was only allowed to go into business. Do you think that’s funny?”

I was genuinely surprised. ‘Wow, so that’s actually a thing. Is Ryan in politics because he’s the legitimate grandson?‘ I wondered.

“I think no matter what you do, if you can reach the top, that’s seriously impressive. Not everyone has the kind of talent to make a real mark,” I said, feeling a bit more confident—maybe because I could sense Edward doubting himself–though I was a little nervous.

“Really?” Edward turned to look at me. “You don’t think I’m only ever meant to be a profit–chasing businessman like those people out there think?”

“Those people out there only badmouth you because they can’t measure up to you,” I said, raising an eyebrow with a little scoff.

In my view, only people with lousy character would go out of their way to badmouth others. If someone’s truly secure and content, why would they bother talking down about others?

Edward seemed comforted by my words, a relaxed smile tugged at the corners of his eyes and lips.

“Looks like you’ve got a real knack for comforting people,” Edward said, stepping closer and gazing down at me. “You’re right. The ones gossiping behind my back just can’t measure up to me. Still, their words do get under my skin.”
