"I insist..." Memo's eyes were red with tears, and there was stubbornness in her gaze.

When he saw Momo trying to talk back at him, Egbert grew so furious that he raised his arms and almost hit her.

Ernest pulled Momo aside instantly when he saw this, and whispered, "Momo, stop."

"Dad, but I..." Momo's voice was filled with grievance.

Ernest felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he had no other choice. He could only comfort Momo in a low voice, "Momo, your grandfather is angry now, don't talk back. We will talk about it later, maybe there is still a chance."

Although Momo didn't have high hopes, she had no other choice but to sob silently.

As Momo fell silent, Egbert then looked at Fade coldly and said, "I disagree with your proposal."

Next, he waved his hand dismissively to chase him out.

When Fade saw this, he didn't back down, but went one step further and asked aloud, "I want to know, just why do you disagree? You said that as long as anyone is interested in Momo, they can propose a marriage. But as a result, you only agreed when Hector proposed a marriage. My proposal was denied instantly. I would like to know, why, and what is the selection criteria? Shouldn't it be based on Memo's wish?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent as they stared at Fade. It was as if they were staring at a clown.

Egbert frowned and kept quiet. He then glanced at Somoset and Lyla beside him.

The children immediately understood their father's sign and stood up. Somoset replied in a deep voice, "We naturally have our own standards. We've considered various aspects and felt that Hector is more suitable for Momo. Therefore, We chose him."

"On which aspect do you feel that way?" Fade pressed on.

Somoset frowned when he heard the question. He was beginning to feel impatient.

Lyla stood up and looked at Fade in disdain. She replied, "Fade, my eldest brother was trying to keep your dignity and didn't make it clear. But since you are pushing the limits, then I will be frank." "The Soo family is a well-known family for centuries in South Bay City City. As a member of the Soo family, Momo is a young lady from a noble family. Therefore, her husband must match her in terms of identity, status and ability."

"And there is no doubt in each and every aspect that Hector is a very suitable candidate. As for you, I will just say that you are not worthy of Momo in terms of status and wealth. You' re nowhere near compared to Hector."

"That's why we didn't choose you. Now, do you understand?" Lyla finished, not caring about Fade' s dignity at all.

As soon as she finished speaking, the guests in the hall couldn't help but start discussing amongst themselves. Of course, most of them were mocking Fade.

"Where did this guy even come from? Is he trying to get us on his side? How ridiculous."

"He actually dared to ask the Soo family why they didn't choose him. Isn't it obvious?" someone sneered.

"How dare he even try to compare himself to Hector. He's digging his own grave!"

"Indeed. They're not even on the same level. I wonder who gave him the courage to compete with Hector?"

Amidst the mockery, Fade's expression remained unchanged. There were no signs of embarrassment and awkwardness on his face. Instead, he looked at Lyla with confidence and said, "If the aspects that you've mentioned are no more than wealth and status, then I can assure you that I will not lose in those areas."

After hearing that, Lyla rolled her eyes at him. "You just won't give up, will you? Then tell me, what status do you have, and how much wealth do you have?"

When everyone heard her words, they immediately turned to Fade, entertained at the sight of him being mocked.

Not waiting for Fade to speak, Hector took a step forward and looked at everyone with a smile. "I understand the status of Mr. Fade. Let me introduce him to everyone."

As Hector stood up, everyone grew interested immediately. They turned their attention to Hector.

Under everyone's watchful gaze, Hector looked at Fade and said with a smile, "As far as I know, Mr. Fade is quite a successful businessman."

"Mr. Chen started his business in Bay City, and cofounded a cosmetics company. He even owned a pharmacy. I heard that he also has shares in a martial arts center. His wealth is indeed indescribable." He exaggerated his words then pretended to think for a while before he continued, "I would estimate his wealth to be more than 100 million yuan. To Mr. Chen, his status and wealth are pretty outstanding!" Although Hector's words seemed to praise Fade, his attitude while speaking these words was completely different.

As he finished the introduction, the discussion grew even more heated.

"A net worth of more than 100 million yuan is not bad for ordinary people. But for a family like the Soo family, it's not worth mentioning."

"What an idiot. Did he really think that with his accomplishments, he could really be accepted by the Soo family?" someone mocked.

"And he wanted to compete with Hector. There's nothing to compare at all!"

"That's true. When Hector was twelve, he began to involve in his family business. He started investing at the age of fourteen and made 20 million. At the age of twenty, his net worth had increased to a billion. Now, Hector has control over most of the Yao family's businesses, which makes his net worth over five billion!" "Fade's little achievement is nothing compared to

Hector!"

After all the mockery towards Fade, Lyla sneered as she looked at Fade. "Now, do you understand the difference between you and Hector!"

"As for this marriage, I will definitely support Hector," Lyla said.

Somoset agreed concurrently, "Hector is a better choice."

The wealthy businessmen amongst the guests also cheered to show support.

"Miss Soo and Hector is a match made in heaven. They couldn't be more suitable for each other."

"The Wang family supports Hector."

"This is no place for clowns, you should leave now."

As the voices of support for Hector heightened, Zarriah stood up and turned to Fade. "Did you hear that? No one here supports you at all. Why are you still here?" However, just as Zarriah finished his sentence, Momo, who had calmed down,

shouted immediately, "I support Fade."
