Afterwards, Emily Ferguson heard about this, couldn't help shaking her head, and commented on Elise Don—terrifyingly pragmatic.
"Married into a wealthy family, yet doesn't do what a socialite should. Mixing with these streetwise people, doesn't she feel it's a blow to her status?"
Elise Don was well aware that she was different from Emily Ferguson. Her family had been wealthy for three or four generations, naturally concerned about appearances. But what about the Don Estate? Her family only reached its current size by making friends and doing honest business. If she suddenly acted pretentious just because she married into the Perry Estate, people might respect her on the surface but secretly destroy the Don family's reputation.
If in the future, her marriage becomes unstable and the Don family loses its support, how could they continue in the business world?
