Corinda couldn't resist Arthur's charm, as Lance had predicted, but he had already warned the other side. If they were determined, there was nothing else to do.
Even thinking with one's heels, it's clear that Councilman Williams would never allow Arthur, his favorite youngest son, to marry a female gang member with no background.
If Corinda and Lance were related by blood or she had background similar to the Five Great Families, then Councilman Williams might agree.
This would amount to a political marriage.
But that's just a possibility, not a certainty.
She currently doesn't have such a background or support, so no matter what, Councilman Williams would not allow Arthur to marry Corinda.
His mother wouldn't allow it either.
This meant their romance was destined to remain just a romance. When Arthur reaches the age to marry, he will walk into the marriage hall with someone else.
This is a love doomed without a future, destined to be sad.
