"You're threatening me." Her words were exactly the same as Marcellus'.
Sir. Perkins smiled. "Even so, what can you do?"
"I can't do anything." Beryl stood where she was, neither servile nor overbearing. "I know that for someone of your status, my existence is very insignificant, but I won't be a coward. At least not on this matter."
She sounded very determined, as if she had the backbone to stay calm even if a mountain collapsed in front of her. Sir. Perkins didn't have much opinion of her at first, but now he couldn't help but ask, "What makes you think you can hold on?"
To take what?
Beryl thought about it. Indeed, she did not have anything to persist on. As long as Sir. Perkins gave the word; she might face the possibility of losing everything. However...
"If I give up, wouldn't it be a waste of Marcellus's trust and effort?" Even if she didn't know that Marcellus had accepted the request of Sir. Perkins for her, everything he had done for her in the past was enough.
Sir. Perkins couldn't help but be stunned by her words. Back then, he had made things difficult for Marcellus's mother. Although she had insisted on it, her insistence was completely different from that of Beryl.
This girl really had a tenacious spirit.
Apart from anything else, Sir. Perkins appreciated this very much, but he said,
"You can only blame your family background. No matter what, the Perkins Family will never accept you. Give up as soon as possible. What I said to you is not a joke."
When Beryl heard the words "family background", her expression darkened for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal. Even at this point, she did not forget to say, "Sorry to disturb you. Marcellus is still waiting for me to go back. I'll take my leave first."
After that, she left the room and went straight to the point as she came.
