---- Chapter 2158 Sofia cleared her throat, smiling as she turned to Andrew. "It''s not that we''re looking down on you, but you just have to face reality. This is our family''s standard of living. That must feel like a heavy burden for you, doesn''t it?" She went on warmly. ''We know your rtionship with Elle wasn''t easy. But Chantelle is our daughter, born and raised in Terror Town, and our family is well-off. That''s undeniable. "On top of that, she''s building a career in politics, so her future is very bright. Honestly, as an elder, I sympathize with you two.


    But as her mother, I don''t approve of this rtionship." Andrew nodded. "Mrs. Garcia, you''re right, being well-matched in status is very important." Sofia blinked, surprised at how cooperative he sounded. He added with the same calm smile, "If we look at family background, wealth, and other aspects, you''re right: we really don''t match. After all,pared to me, your family''s conditions are far too low. We''re simply notpatible." Sofia was dumbfounded. "Wait, hold on, what did you just say?" She had been the one dismissing Andrew, but now he was dismissing the Garcia family.


    ---- Was this guy insane? Carlos sneered. "Andrew, are you still joking around at this point? If I were you, I''d crawl out of the Garcia house in shame and cut ties with Elle forever." Andrew''s patience snapped. "I forgot to mention, the person who just offered to buy yourpany? That was me. The five billion came from me. But now, I''ve decided not to buy your trashpany. If it''s led by trash, then of course thepany is trash too." Carlos exploded with anger. "You''ve gotten addicted to this act, haven''t you?


    Believe it or not, one phone call from me and you won''t make it out of Terror Town alive!" Even Patrick finally looked up from his paper, shaking his head with a faint smile. "Andrew, I get it. This is your first time at your girlfriend''s house, so bragging a little is normal. But drowning in your own lies without self-respect or dignity? That I can''t tolerate. You and Elle being together, I don''t oppose. "I only have two daughters, and as long as they''re happy, that''s enough for me. But your character... spouting nonsense and deceiving yourself, that crosses my line.


    To be blunt, I don''t like men who can''t tell the truth." Sofia''s tone turned harsh. "Chantelle,e here. From this ---- moment on, you are not allowed to see him again!" But instead of moving, Chantelle dove straight into Andrew''s arms.<style>
