Not worthy of her? Sophia was dumbfounded for a moment. Ha! What a snob! She actually said that my nephew, Stan, isn’t worthy of her? She looked Anne up and down. Is she rich? Nope. She has her mother’s last name, and her father is merely an ordinary Cethosian musician. While her grandfather, Louis Osborne, enjoys a bit of fame, the Fletcher Family is more than worthy of her. If it weren’t for Michael facilitating things, she wouldn’t even have a chance to go on a blind date with Stan!
Derisive thoughts flew across Sophia’s mind. Besides, while the world knows that her grandfather is the best calligrapher and painter in Cethos, who is she, Anne Osborne? There’s even more information on Judge’s page on Wikipedia than her! As for looks? Well, she’s in her early twenties, dressed in a classical linen long dress, and her black hair hangs straight to her waist. She might have bright eyes, white teeth, pale skin, and a classical charm to her, but even though she’s pretty, she’s not a stunning beauty. If it weren’t for her grandfather, the Fletchers probably wouldn’t even spare her a look!
However, Anne seemed extremely snobbish, arrogance radiating off her. “You can stop studying me. My identity is definitely not something you can discern. Anyway, you’re not worthy of me, Stanley Fletcher!”
Likewise, Stanley looked her up and down critically. Where did this ugly girl get her confidence from? All at once, he mocked her in disdain by saying, “You think I’m beneath you? I think you’re the one who’s beneath me! My buddy looks even more beautiful than you in a wig!”
On the contrary, Anne felt that her status was lofty, so she disdained the Fletcher Family in the first place. If it weren’t for Michael Fletcher facilitating this and Grandpa falling for it, I wouldn’t have gone on this blind date with the Fletchers! The Fletchers are nothing without Mark Fletcher, so how could they possibly be worthy of my lofty status? And this destitute Stanley Fletcher actually dared to scorn me for being ugly?
“Do you have any taste? There’s a long line of people who pursue me, winding around the block up to France! The fact that I went on a blind date with you is your honor! My status is so lofty that it’s beyond your imagination. You’re not worthy of me at all. If you’re smart, make it clear to your parents and ask them not to have delusions of grandeur as well. The Fletcher Family isn’t worthy of me at all!”
Sophia almost burst out laughing at her words. Where did this little girl get such confidence? The Fletcher Family isn’t worthy of her? But on second thought, since Louis Osborne gave me a harp without hesitation, perhaps their family truly has an identity unbeknownst to others. They have their own preferences as a scholarly family, so they probably disdain the rough Fletchers who are in the military.
“Okay, okay, let’s all take a step back. If you’re really dissatisfied, then just tell your families so.” Sophia hurriedly smoothed things over. After all, it was her idol husband who facilitated this blind date, so it would be bad for things to get too tense.
After that, she persuaded Stanley to leave, so he finally relented for the sake of his uncle and to avoid getting a beating from his brother instead of taking offense at a little bug who lived in her own world. As he walked away, he muttered, “If you’re so powerful, enter the ancient Imperial Palace without purchasing an admission ticket! Ha! Stop playing dumb in front me, hideous thing…”
Fuming, Anne was just a breath away from blowing a gasket. If it were centuries ago, the ancient Imperial Palace would’ve been my house! I’m blue-blooded, so I naturally don’t have to purchase an admission ticket to enter the Imperial Palace! Not only am I exempted from queuing, but they’d even roll out the red carpet for me! In a few days, when I’ve successfully changed my last name, they’ll then know how lofty my identity is!
When Sophia got back to the private room where the blind date was held, she sat back at her place. Stanley returned a few minutes after her, and Anne also returned shortly after, throwing a dark look at Stanley. Since it was Louis who’d agreed to this blind date, she didn’t dare oppose outright and anger him since she still needed his approval to change her last name. However, she’d put things on the table with Stanley, so she believed that he’d know what to do. She wanted him to voluntarily object to the match.
