My Heart only Beats for You

Yuna said with a pitiful look on her face, "Grandpa Peter, how could I lie? How could a family like mine allow me to tell lies?" Peter thought the same.

His tone was full of disdain, glowering at Natalie. "We don't need to look any deeper into this, because it's impossible for Yuna to lie. How could someone born into an educated family, like Yuna, lie? As for Natalie..." Peter became even more disdainful. "How good can a woman from a middle-class family like hers be? She's probably a chronic liar. She's no match for Yuna!"

Before this, Peter had indeed done a basic investigation into Natalie's background.

He did not know about the details, but he knew that Natalie was born into a family of commoners at the bottom of the social ladder. Her mother was unemployed, and her father worked at a construction site all year round.

Just as Peter finished speaking, an upstanding figure walked in. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Tobias had clearly heard every single word that Peter had said.

His eyes darkened.

Before Tobias could say anything, Natalie had already spoken.

Her striking gaze landed straight on Peter's face.

Usually, Natalie's tone would carry respect when she spoke to Peter, but this time, it consisted of none.

Peter could insult her all he wanted, but that did not mean he could do the same to James.

James was the best father in the world, and no one was allowed to insult him.

"Mr. Whitlock, does your so-called educated upbringing consist of pushing the blame to someone without even investigating the matter? You liking Yuna and trying to help her is fine, but that doesn't mean that you can frame me for something I didn't do. In fact, insulting and berating me is fine, but why are you bringing my father into this? Is this the way a so-called upper-class person should act?"

"Yes, my father worked a low-level job, a job that you people look down upon, but that doesn't mean that he's a lowbrow. My father had the most integrity in the world."
