Patrick felt a pang of awkwardness.

He hadn't expected Daniela to know about Antonia.

But then he remembered Daniela had visited him at the Yichen Club, and he figured she must have investigated him. It wasn't surprising that she knew about his relationship with Antonia.

The awkwardness passed in a flash.

Patrick's face hardened. "Mrs. Romero is my guest, what can I do?"

"But I truly like Cline. When feelings come, I can't control them."

Cline, hearing this, couldn't have been happier. Daniela, however, felt increasingly troubled.

Those words sounded a little bit like a player.

If he truly liked Cline, he should have made things clear with Antonia and broken things off cleanly. Why was he still clinging to Antonia outside the coffee shop in the mall yesterday?

Daniela couldn't bear the thought of her hard-earned brother being a player. She spoke with even more sincerity, "But in the adult world, liking someone doesn't solve everything. You two being together, first of all, will not pass Antonia. Antonia's personality, how could she accept you as her son-in-law?"

"Not to mention your past, even the Flores Family's status, she wouldn't look down on it."

Daniela wasn't trying to criticize Patrick, but this was the reality, Antonia was just like that.

But Patrick misunderstood her intentions, a hurt expression appearing on his face. "Are you also looking down on my past work?"

Daniela winced, "That's not what I meant, it's just..."

"That's exactly what you mean!" Cline couldn't take it anymore. She pushed the door open and pointed at Daniela, "You're just looking down on Patrick's work."

"You're actually her sister. Patrick only did that job to make ends meet. If your Flores Family hadn't lost him, would he have fallen to that point?"

Speaking of which, Cline felt a little guilty.

She knew Patrick wasn't Daniela's biological brother. Everything Patrick had now was essentially taking advantage of the Flores Family and Daniela.

But they weren't happy about it either.

Patrick came from a poor background, and this was their only chance to be together.

Besides, Patrick had been trying hard to play the role of Daniela's brother.

Otherwise, Daniela would only be anxious if she couldn't find her brother.

Come to think of it, Daniela should thank them.

Thinking about it, Cline straightened her back, "I don't care about Patrick's past. I only care about our future. My mother doesn't need your worries."

Patrick looked moved and stepped forward to hold Cline's hand tightly.

The air between them was filled with affection.

Daniela: ...

She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Miss Romero is showered with love, naturally she has the courage to fight for love. But my brother is different. He's been wandering around since he was a child. He needs to work harder than others to live the life he wants."

"Even so, Mrs. Romero, Miss Romero, just by raising a hand, can turn all his hard work to naught."

"Then, when Miss Romero gets bored, she just leaves, and the Romero Family will be there to support you. But what about Patrick? What will happen to him? Where is his future?"

Cline couldn't refute her and could only stomp her feet angrily, "Why can you marry into the Romero Family, but your brother can't date me, a Romero Family heiress? In the end, you just look down on him!"

She was convinced that this was the truth and looked at Daniela with disdain.

Patrick next to her seemed to be touched by Cline's words, looking at Daniela with disbelief.

"So, that's how you feel about me, sister."

His eyes were full of sadness and grievance. "I'm sorry, I made you lose face."
