Chapter 957

For the powerful clans, a person’s identity and status were paramount.

This was particularly crucial when selecting spouses for their descendants; they sought partners from families of similar stature, preferably forming alliances through marriage for business reasons.

Even though the wealthy could choose their lovers casually, when it came to selecting wives, they exclusively targeted women from affluent families.

The story of Domenic’s parents had always been shrouded in secrecy by Jordan.

This secret eventually turned into gossip among the elite.
