Chapter 997 Why Does A Woman Have To Depend On A Man To Be Respected?

“Miss Gloria.” The guard turned around as he heard the sound. He immediately greeted her politely and waved his hand at Angus. “You are lucky to meet our boss. She agreed to let you in, so I will bring you to Master Benjamin now.”
“Thank you.” Angus bowed to Gloria with gratitude before he followed the guard in.
Did he come to Master Benjamin because of Rachel? A hint of curiosity flashed across Gloria’s eyes, and then she followed them in too. She would come to inspect the factory every other day. The trench coats’ popularity had made Blue Suede Fashion famous. It was now the top fashion brand in the wealthy ladies’ social circle in Chaos City. This brought a great income to Blue Suede.
Although it was already winter, and the thin trench coats were no longer suitable, there were many noble ladies who had placed their orders. Even if they couldn’t wear it now, they would be able to wear it in the coming spring when the weather got warmer. Therefore, the factory was still having many orders.
Of course, half of the masters were currently manufacturing the thick trench coats. These thicker trench coats that could be worn under the harsh winter winds had already received plenty of pre-orders before they were even put on the production lines.
Gloria followed Angus toward the production workshop. She recognized that this was the old man who’d found his long-lost son at Mamy Restaurant’s entrance that morning, and Benjamin was Rachel’s father. She felt that couple was actually rather sweet.
“Please wait here for a moment.” The guard made Angus wait at the workshop’s entrance as he went to say to Benjamin, “Master Benjamin, there is someone looking for you.”
“Someone is looking for me?” Benjamin, who was making the pattern, was slightly taken aback. He turned to look at Angus at the door, and Angus smiled and waved at him. Although he didn’t know him, out of courtesy, Benjamin still got up and walked to the entrance.
“You are? Do I know you?” Benjamin asked Angus doubtfully when he got to the entrance. He still couldn’t recall who this was even after thinking very carefully.
“You do not know me, Mr Benjamin. But, I know you. I am Beck’s father,” Angus said to Benjamin full of smiles before he quickly changed his words. “Or, I should say Hada’s father.”
Benjamin’s eyes became cautious immediately as he sized Angus up. His shabby jacket was full of holes and patches. He wouldn’t even be surprised if he said he was a vagrant. With furrowed brows, he said, “You are the father that he has found today? Why did you come to look for me?”
“Yes. I had been searching for him for 25 years before finally finding him in Chaos City.” Angus nodded as he slid his shoes with holes backwards. He sincerely said to Benjamin, “I have to ask you for a great favor today. I have met Miss Rachel this morning. Hada and her love each other. I would like to respectfully ask you to allow them to be together. Hada is a good kid, I believe he will take good care of Rachel.”
“Take good care of Rachel?” Benjamin laughed sarcastically. He pointed at Angus and said in a louder voice, “If he was a physically able person and had a normal family, I would give them my blessings. But, he has physical disabilities, and has to support an old blacksmith who even has problems taking care of himself. He can’t even support himself, and now he has a father who can’t do anything. Tell me, how is he going to take care of Rachel? If Rachel marries him, she would have to take care of the three of you every single day, and she also has to earn money to support that family!
“I only have one daughter, and I did all I could to bring her up. Everyone who met her praises her. I want her to marry into a good family and live a respectable life! No matter what you say, I will never agree to their marriage!”
Angus looked at the determined Benjamin with disappointment. In the past, he did have many assets and could afford a good dowry, but he didn’t have even one copper coin in his pocket now, let alone a dowry. It would be good enough if he didn’t add onto Beck’s burdens.
He, too, was a father, so he could understand how Benjamin thought. Who would want their children to suffer?
“Benjamin’s girl is pretty and capable. How can she marry a handicapped man?”
“That’s right. There are many of us here who want our sons to marry his daughter, but Rachel has turned all of us down.”
Benjamin’s voice was rather loud, so it quickly attracted many people’s attention. Many master tailors even put down their work and went to take a look at the entrance. They were discussing quietly among themselves.
Why can’t they be together since they love each other? Gloria thought perplexedly as she watched from a short distance away. She had seen Hada that morning. Even though he had physical disabilities, he didn’t take charity from others. He had much more integrity and aspiration than a lot of normal people.
And when the two of them gazed at each other, she had even seen what true love looked like. She was a little envious, and at the same time wished to give them her blessing. But, she hadn’t expected that Rachel’s father would be against them so strongly.
“Rachel, you need to go and take a look now. Your father is arguing with someone!” a female worker, who ran in in a rush, said.
“What?” Rachel had a shock, and quickly dashed to the entrance. She saw the deflated Angus, who was standing in front of Benjamin, who resembled a fighting cock that had just won a fight.
“Father, why did you come here? I had a hard time looking for you.” Before Rachel could go forward, a limping figure rushed in. He heaved a sigh of relief after he saw Angus. Then, he noticed Benjamin who was standing at the side. Even though he was shocked, he swiftly respectfully greeted, “Uncle.”
Benjamin coldly said to Hada, “You came just in time. Since your father is present today too, I will make things clear to all of you. As long as I am Rachel’s father for a day, I will never allow Rachel to marry you. It will be over my dead body. You’d better give up and tell your father to never come to look for me again! And I forbid you to see Rachel again!”
Hada’s eyes darkened as he rolled his fingers into fists slowly and then released them helplessly.
“Father, no matter what happens, I am going to marry Hada!” Rachel dashed forward and grabbed Hada’s hand as she looked at Benjamin determinedly.
Benjamin was so angry that his moustache trembled. He pointed at Rachel. “You… You are going to be the death of me! How is he going to provide a respectable life for you? He will only let you suffer for the rest of your life!”
“Is he the one who is going to have the buffet with Rachel? A cripple. Isn’t her taste in men bad?” Cynthia said as she pursed her lips and sized Hada up.
“Yes. He doesn’t seem suitable for Rachel at all. What is she thinking?” The female workers wondered too.
“I guess she was enticed by that one meal and lost her way. She would be laughed at if she married a cripple. It isn’t respectable at all,” Cynthia said with a hint of jealousy.
The female workers were all talking about it and waiting to watch a good show.
“Why does a woman have to depend on a man to be respected? Couldn’t she earn it for herself?” Right at this moment, a curious voice spoke up from the side.
