William was stunned and started thinking.
"You worry that if Ann and I got married, she will be bullied because of her family background, and I will toy with her feelings."
"Karl's family background is ordinary, but he is arrogant and weak-minded. He can easily listen to outsiders and hurt Ann. So, you can see that family background does not mean anything." Phillip continued.
William frowned and said, "Even so, Ann and Karl broke up because of you. If Ann were to be with you, wouldn't it prove that Ann cheated on you? Do you know what that means to a girl?"
Phillip's expression turned cold when he heard this and said, "Mr. William, once you were also a businessman. I believe you know that the wise will not listen to rumors. Not to mention that I'm able to protect Ann. If you reject me because of these rumors, how can I offer happiness for Ann."
"But have you ever thought about how a family like yours can accept a woman with a child? If Ann marries you, she will have to face the whole Moore family!" William said worriedly.
"As long as she trusts me, I can protect her!" Phillip frowned.
Besides, Nikki was Phillip's child after all!
William didn't believe him.
He interacted with people from these big families before. Not to mention all the infightings among the families, just the temptation there was hard enough to deal with.
For a man like Phillip, the risks and temptations he faced were multiplied.
Whether what he said was true or false,
William was not willing to let his daughter take this risk.
...
William and Phillip ended their unpleasant talk and went out of the room. Ann observed their expressions carefully.
William frowned slightly, and his expression was still a bit serious, but he seemed to be quite smart.
On the other hand, Phillip sat down next to Ann. He picked up the milk on the table and took a sip. No one could tell his mood.
Ann's heart became more and more uneasy, wondering how the talk went.
After breakfast, William said that he had to go back to deal with something.
Ann couldn't persuade him to stay, so she could only send William downstairs in a hurry and help him stop a taxi.
Before William got into the car, he looked at Ann and warned her, "Phillip is a man with schemes and tricks. If he wants to do something, no one can stop him. I hope you can remember that Phillip and the Moores are not as simple as they seem. If you really want to marry him, you have to consider it thoroughly!"
Hearing this, Ann's face turned red, "Dad, my relationship with Phillip is not like what you think..."
William looked at Ann's blushing face, sighed slightly before getting into the car and left.
