For Hugh, the family background was the most important above all else when finding a wife.
She could have a bad habit or maybe wasn't as pretty, but her family background would guarantee a proper standing in their society, separated from the common folks out there.
For a family like the Langfords, they didn't need to find someone crazy rich with an affluent background to marry, because they were already filthy rich themselves.
But they still needed to find a wife with a proper family background, so they wouldn't be ridiculed.
That rule also applied to Alex, who didn't seem to be bothered listening to his father right now.
"Also, you're not the one to give me a sermon about finding the right woman with the proper background. That bitch I have to call mother came from a proper affluent family, and look what happened in the end," Alex mocked. "You should've reflected on yourself first before giving me advice."
Hugh went silent after that, not knowing what to say to his son.
