"You see, if you're marrying into a wealthy family, you should also have something to bring to the table," Nina explained upon seeing the pure curiosity in Penny's eyes. "Otherwise, I'm afraid they'd just bully me."

would have joined us if she didn't have a class. The children's education is important-that's what she always says." Nina sighed, thinking that Yuri wasn't available on weekdays because Yuri was a kindergarten teacher.

"Also, this is important since it's about you," Nina added. "And I heard Brother Atlas has been fighting them like crazy. There will be some internal strife in the company if Brother Atlas keeps resisting. "What do you mean?" Penny narrowed her eyes as she leaned back.
