The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call

Chapter 1282 Wynter’s Lifeline

What exactly was the injustice women faced? It was the contradictory roles society expected of them.

Society would expect women to be the perfect mother and a corporate elite simultaneously. When a woman chose to leave her career to focus on her family, people would judge them.

Even if they didn’t regret their decision, there would be people regretting it for them. They would say that the woman was only deluding themselves and that she would regret it sooner or later.

Indeed, there was often regret.

But because of love, many mothers chose to become full–time homemakers despite foreseeing potential future dissatisfaction. Did they truly feel secure, believing they would be happy forever? Of course not. They did it willingly.

Others, unwilling, may later say, “I only stayed because of you.”

There were many people with many different opinions. Marriage success or failure inexplicably became a measure of a woman’s worth, which was both ironic and real.

People in Hawford called Marie a love–struck fool, as if everything she did, including the Whitman family’s troubles, stemmed from her blind love for Shane. Yet, those people would never tell the Whitmans the truth–that Marie was ill.

No one would willingly fall ill, much less lose a part of their soul, live like a puppet, and go unseen by the world.
