    Since Felix had promised to support her, Madeline stood up straight. She longed to prove. herself, especially since she had found sess in her work. She wanted to find love and a family full of warmth, too.


    She had known Felix since they were young. He wasn''t one to make empty promises. Since he was standing up for her, he must be confident about himself.


    Lilian, however, sneered in disdain. "She''s losing out? Are you even hearing yourself? There aren''t many in Yartford who would dare to say that about joining our family. Ha! Birds of a feather flock together."


    Felix casually tossed a Diamond Card from Concord Bank onto the table, saying, "We''re about the same age, right? Let''s see how rich you really are."


    With a quick nce, Lilian recognized the card. After all, given her family''s financial standing, there was no way she wouldn''t recognize a Concord Bank Diamond Card. Her expression briefly changed, but then she scoffed.


    "So, you aren''t entirely useless. I guess you must be some sort of big shot in Avesburgh. But do you think the high society of Yartford cares only about money? You can''t buy status and identity with money. Having a Concord Bank Diamond Card doesn''t change a thing."


    If Felix had his Supreme ck Card with him, it would have easily resolved the situation. In fact, he could simply make a phone call to resolve a minor issue like this.


    Just then, Luke said, "Thank you for standing up for Maddy and me. You don''t need to prove anything else. If my family truly won''t ept our rtionship, I''ll take action. Trust me."


    Madeline echoed his sentiment, saying, "That''s right. I believe in Luke, and that''s enough.


    Hearing that, Felix knew he didn''t need to interfere further. If Madeline ran into troubleter, she could call him. Besides, he could still observe Luke''s sincerity over time through this incident.


    "If nothing changes in three days, I''ll fulfill my promise," Felix said.


    Lilian merely sneered, convinced that Felix was all talk. To her, he was just another country boy overly reliant on money. In Yartford, money didn''t make a person omnipotent. It was merely the bare requirement for one to be acknowledged. Leaving the private room, Felix and Madeline walked ahead while Lilian helt Luke back.


    "Come home with me now, and let''s rify everything with Mom and Dad! Don''t you know that there''s no turning back once Dad makes up his mind?" Lilian scolded.


    Luke looked ahead at Madeline''s figure, his gaze resolute.


    "Can you put aside your sense of superiority and try to understand me for once? Please, I''m begging you. Just do this for once-for the first andst time."


    However, Lilian gave no answer, leaving him a bit disappointed. Nheless, his decision remained the same.


    "Is that Walter?" Lilian suddenly asked.


    The sudden question caught Luke''s attention. He was excited to receive a reply so quickly, but he was soon disappointed to find out that it was about something else.


    "I guess so," Luke replied.


    At the hallway corner, a man appeared carrying two bags. At the sight of Felix, he hesitated. His steps faltered as he quickly stepped to the side and bowed deeply as Felix passed by. "Mr. Zeller," the man called out to him.


    Without breaking his stride, Felix only nced at him. Unable to ce his finger on who he was, Felix walked away.


    After Felix left, Walter sighed in relief and continued forward until he stopped in front of the Sanders siblings, who were both looking at him with strange expressions.
