Chapter 55

• David didn't need a son-in-law who was of no help to him and might even drag him down. However, backing out of the engagement in the current situation would inevitably be seen as disdain for poverty and favoritism for wealth, which would greatly harm his political image.
• He was indecisive and torn. However, Charlotte didn't have so many worries. She knew about the imminent bankruptcy of the Brown family and had only one attitude: "Cancel the engagement!"
• Because of this, Emily had a huge argument with Charlotte.
