Chapter 1641
Harper mentioned Edith and Anthony, and Kate, who always maintained a gentle smile, looked slightly
serious as if she had thought of something, and she let go of Harper’s hand.
“Don’t blame me for being heartless. Which parent wouldn’t worry about their own pup? If you were
born into a better family, had a higher education, and were more virtuous, how could I not accept you?”
Kate had learned her lesson from Anthony and Edith’s situation and didn’t want to interfere in her son’s
affairs anymore. But from her perspective, Harper couldn’t compare to even Anthony’s pinky finger, yet
she wanted to be her daughter–in–law. How could this work?
“In fact, wealthy packs really emphasize the match between social backgrounds. Because of the
different upbringing, thoughts, vision, values, and knowledge, it’s only the hormones that attract you to
each other now. Once that passion fades, you’ll realize the importance of differences.”
Out of everything Kate said, this sentence hit Harper’s self–esteem the hardest and left her unable to
argue back. Harper clenched her fist, then slowly released it and looked up at Kate, her eyes showing a
hint of exhaustion…
She didn’t speak, appearing hesitant and deep in thought. Kate couldn’t see through her, so she
continued:

“Although Griffon and Taya are the best example of social mismatch, Griffon is different from Preston.
He can tolerate Taya without limits, regardless of her own shortcomings or whatever mistakes she may
make. I dare say that even if Taya were to cheat one day, Griffon would still love her. But Preston
wouldn’t.”
“He’s still childish and immature. In his eyes, what he can’t have is the best. Once he gets it, the
ty wears off. When that happens, think about what you’ll do.”
Kate’s words struck deep within Harper’s soul, laying bare all her fears and making her feel tightness in
her chest. It also made her waver, but she couldn’t find any words to say in response…
Seeing Harper’s hesitating expression, Kate knew her words had an effect. She let go of Harper’s hand
and reached for her expensive bag on the couch. She opened it and took out a black card, handing it to
Harper.
“That’s all I have to say. Go home and think carefully about whether you want to mate my son or not. If
you choose not to, the card is yours. But if you still choose to mate him, be prepared for interference in
your store and your future life. The decision is in your hands…”
After saying this, Kate left, her elegant figure swaying and her footsteps light and graceful, but in
Harper’s eyes, it felt like a heavy mountain pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe…

Feeling suffocated, she couldn’t help but pick up the black card. The dim light imprinted on Harper’s
face, revealing a pale, bloodless complexion….
She sat in the café for a long time, finally putting the card back in her bag and getting up to leave.
When she returned home, she filled the bathtub with water and relaxed her tense nerves as she lay in
it. Her mind flashed with the image of Preston holding her in the bathtub…
Did Preston want to mate her out of responsibility for sleeping with her, or was it because of love? Why
couldn’t she differentiate anymore?
With her thoughts in disarray, Harper buried her head in the water, washing away her exhaustion and
clearing her mind.
Regardless, she had to let Preston know about Kate’s visit and let him make the decision himself.
Whether Preston ultimately chose his mother or her, it was Preston’s business.
If he still insisted on mating her after knowing about this, then she would go all out and seek his

they would have no future…
It was simple, no need to overthink.
After coming to this realization, Harper got up from the bathtub, dried her hair, and dived into the bed.

After a night of turmoil two nights ago and another night of turmoil last night, she was exhausted and
quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Harper woke up, it was already evening, showing just how tired she was. She got
up and freshened up, then picked up her phone and removed Preston from the blacklist. She called
him, but he didn’t answer.
Glancing at the time, Harper thought Preston should be at home at this hour, so she got in the car and
headed straight to Preston’s villa.
When she arrived, the butler said Preston had been busy lately and was staying in an apartment close
to the company, not at the villa. He told Harper to go to the apartment area to find him.
Harper could only turn the car around and drive towards the city center.
