Vernon shouted, "Luke, what are you talking about? Vera isn't the kind of woman who chases after money!" He was enraged as he continued, "She was with you back then because she liked you. It wasn't because of your family fortune! Get out of my house!" "Dad, I didn't mean it like that. Sincerity and financial stability don't have to be opposites. I never said Vespera was after my money," said Luke, trying to calm Vernon down.

"Don't callthat. Are you leaving or not?" Vernon shouted again. His eyes darted around the room, searching for something he could throw at Luke.

Helen also stepped forward, equally fired up. She said, "Benjamin is a doctor. He saves lives! How is that any worse than srich brat who doesn't know how to treat a woman right? I know Vera isn't superficial. She'll definitely choose Benjamin." Luke sneered and responded, "Then, best of luck, Dr. Gomez. But just a heads-up. Mr. Reid over there is no pushover." Benjamin remained calm as he said, "Vespera has the right to choose who she wants. If she ends up with Mr. Reid, I'll sincerely wish her happiness." Without saying another word, he took Helen gently by the arm and led her out the door.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Vespera was fuming, so much so that she almost marched out, knife in hand, to give Luke a piece of her mind. He was despicable. He dragged others down just to trip up Dominic.

"Mr. Gildon, here. Smack him with this," said Calvert while handing Vernon a watermelon rind.

Without a second thought, Vernon snatched the rind and charged at Luke. He shouted, "You little punk, I'll beat the crap out of you!" Luke had stolen Vespera's heart years ago and then thrown it away like trash. And now, he had the nerve to show up and humiliate her? Who cares about his money? As temperamental as Luke could be, he still didn't dare fight back against Vernon. He took the hits with a grimace, shielding his head with his arms. He quickly said, "Dad, please calm down. I just wanted to check in on you and Mom. I'm leaving, alright? I'll cvisit another time." Luke finally backed off, heading for the door. Just before stepping out, he turned for one last look. His eyes locked with Vespera from across the room. She still stood in the kitchen, knife in hand, eyes full of warning.

"Get out and stay out!" Vernon bellowed and slammed the door shut. He, who was usually composed, looked like he had just wrestled a bear. His hair was a mess.

Vespera rushed over from the kitchen and said, "Dad, calm down. Don't let someone like him get under your skin. He isn't worth it." Vernon huffed and responded, "Did you hear the arrogance in his voice? Deep down, he thinks people like us are beneath him. He's a rich snob. If you give them an inch, they take your pride!" The two rich men still in the living hall exchanged a glance. Theodore looked like he would rather be anywhere else, and Dominic silently cursed Luke because the latter just had to make things worse for everyone, including himself.

At that moment, Wanda finally stepped in, giving both men a polite smile. "I'm so sorry you had to witness all that. I haven't exactly been the best host today." It was a polite way of making them leave.

Dominic got up with a smile and said, "Mrs. Gildon, there's no need to apologize. Honestly, rich people likedo cwith our own set of problems. A little self-reflection wouldn't hurt." "That's right. Self-reflection is important," echoed Theodore. "Though to be fair, we shouldn't judge everyone by one bad example. Dominic here is one of the good ones. He's modest and respectful." "Your compliments are flattering, but they won't getvery far. Earning yours and Mrs. Gildon's approvals will take more than words," said Dominic.

"Well said." Theodore patted Dominic on the shoulder and added. "Well then we'll take our leave." "Thank you again. We'll be going now," added Dominic.

Both Dominic and Theodore didn't need to be told twice. They knew that staying any longer might put them next in Vernon's line of fire.

Dominic bade farewell politely. On the other hand, Calvert, t still unsure what had just happened, quietly followed Dominic out. Theodore also followed suit.

Once outside, Dominic asked, "Mr. Locke, were you really old friends with Professor Gildon?"
