Chapter 1235


    The rtionship between the prestigious families of Eastcliff was very intricate.


    Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Noble intermarriage was amon practice between these families, simr to the royal


    intermarriage where members of the ruling dynasties married into other reigning families. 1


    After all, every family had both male and female offspring, and when they reached the marriageable


    age, they were bound to look for suitable spouses.


    Since it was impossible for them to choose a spouse from ordinary families, their only options were


    the descendants among the prestigious families. 1


    It could be said that all of these prestigious families were more or less rted by marriage between


    each other. In fact, some families that had many offspring would extend their intermarriage practice


    to thergework of other prominent families. 1


    In Europe, royal intermarriage was verymon among monarchies where their kings and queens


    were rted to each other, and this was because the royal families throughout Europe were one


    huge family formed by a long term intermarriage practice, i


    Dn’s mother, Sylvia Koch, was the daughter of the Thomas family and was Doreen''s aunt. She


    had


    married Dn''s father, Leonard, thirty-five years ago. 8


    During their wedding, the Thomas family was a little stronger and wealthier than the Koch family, but


    over the years, the Thomas family had been going downhill. On the contrary, the Koch family had


    been rising and progressing upward, so it gradually widened the gap between the two families.


    Despite this, Lord Koch and his wife always doted on Sylvia, particrly because the Thomas


    family had indeed helped the Koch family a lot when Sylvia married their son back then, 7


    After marrying Leonard, Sylvia gave birth to three daughters before Dn was born, so the entire


    family doted on Dn very much. 1


    Dn was twenty-seven going on twenty-eight this year, so Sylvia''s concern about her son''s


    marriage had started.


    She first searched for a potential candidate from the prestigious families in Eastcliff, but she hadn’t


    found one who met her standards.


    The young missus of the Schulz family and the Wade family was of high worth and status which


    attracted the attention of the other big families in Eastcliff, but the Koch family paled inparison


    to their worth and social status. 7


    As for those families with simr status and wealth a s the Koch family, their young missus of


    marriageable age was either unavable or did not live up to Sylvia''s standards.


    Sylvia wanted the best for her son, so she hoped that her son would find a girl of a wealthy and


    established family with a superb appearance and personality. 1


    However, these young misses of the prominent families shared the same trait of qualities where


    their shorings were as discernible as their strong point. Their only strong point was that they


    came from rich and powerful families, but their shoring was that they had nothing else to shout


    about except their family name. 9


    Some of these rich misses were ignoramuses who spent their family''s moneyvishly. They might


    have the name of elite schools printed on their portfolios but that was simply because their families


    bribed their way into these schools. 6


    One of the well-known examples was Pan Shiyi, who had allegedly gifted fifteen million dors to


    Harvard i n order to get his son admitted.


    Most of these rich kids from wealthy families were just a bunch of garbage coated in gold and jade,


    including Dn. 5


    The Koch family had spent a lot of money as a disguise of a donation in order to send Dn to


    study abroad.


    Hence, although he was the third young master of the renowned Koch family, he was much worse


    than the hardworking high-schoolers in terms of personal ability.


    Sylvia didn''t want her son to end up with a girl with good looks but empty-minded as he was, so she


    nitpicked on the list of potential brides for her son and found Jasmine. 7


    However, ns always fell behind changes. She didn’t expect that her son would be such a


    disappointment that he started a fight with some random man at Jasmine''s birthday party, and he


    had even swallowed the ruby ne because of a stupid bet. 1


    She was very frustrated and depressed at this moment. 7


    Nheless, she didn’t reveal her disappointment in her expression since her son was about to


    undergo surgery, so she urged her son to quickly get dressed and took him to see his grandmother


    who had fallen and injured herself.
