"Miss Gloria." When the guard heard the voice, he looked back and hurriedly greeted them respectfully. He waved at Angus and said, "You're lucky to have met our boss. She agreed to let you in. I'll take you in to see Master Benjamin."
"Thank you." Angus bowed to Gloria gratefully, and followed the guard inside.
Did he come to see Master Benjamin because of Rachel? A hint of curiosity flashed through Gloria's eyes, and she followed him in. She would come to the factory every other day. The windbreaker's popularity had greatly increased Suede's reputation. It was now the number one clothing brand in the circle of noblewomen in Chaos City, and brought in a lot of income for Suede.
Although it was winter now, and it was not suitable to wear thin windbreakers, many noblewomen still expressed their intention to order them. Even if they could not wear them now, they could still wear them when the weather warmed up next spring. Hence, the factory was still full of orders.
Of course, half of the masters were making thick windbreakers. The windbreakers that could withstand the cold wind had already received many pre-orders before they were even released.
Gloria followed Angus to the production workshop. She recognized this man as the old man who found his long-lost son at the entrance of Amy's this morning. Benjamin was Rachel's father. She was a little touched by their sweetness this morning.
"Wait here for a while." The guard asked Benjamin to wait at the entrance of the workshop, and then he walked to Benjamin's side, and said, "Master Benjamin, someone is looking for you outside."
"Someone is looking for me?" Benjamin, who was hammering, was slightly taken aback. He turned around to look at Angus, who was standing at the door. The latter waved at him with a smile. Although they did not know each other, Benjamin still got up and walked to the door out of courtesy.
"You are? Do I know you? " Benjamin walked to the door and looked at Angus in confusion. He tried his best to recall who this person was, but he still couldn't figure it out.
"Mr. Benjamin, you don't know me, but I know you. I'm Beck's father." Angus was all smiles as he looked at Benjamin. Then, he immediately corrected himself. "Or rather, Hada's father."
Benjamin's eyes suddenly became alert as he looked at Angus from head to toe. His shabby cotton-padded clothes were full of holes and patches. He wouldn't have the slightest doubt if Angus was a tramp. He frowned and said, "Are you the father he just found today? Why are you looking for me? "
"Yes. I've been looking for him for 25 years, and I finally found him in Chaos City." Angus nodded, and shyly pulled back his shoes that had a hole. He looked at Benjamin, and sincerely said, "I have a presumptuous request for you today. I saw Miss Rachel this morning, and she and Hada are in love with each other. I would like to beg you to allow them to be together. Hada is a good boy, and I believe he will take good care of Rachel."
"Take care of Rachel?" Benjamin laughed sarcastically. He pointed at Angus, and raised his voice as he said, "If he is healthy and has a normal family, then I will grant them their wish. But he is handicapped, and even making a living for himself is a problem. He also has an old blacksmith who can't move anymore, and now he has a father who can't do anything. How do you think he is going to take care of Rachel? If Rachel marries him, she will have to take care of the three of you all day long, and earn money to support this family! "
"I only have one daughter, and I raised her painstakingly. Everyone who sees her says that she is good. I want her to marry into a good family and live a decent life! No matter how nice you make it sound, I will never agree to this marriage! "
Angus looked at the determined Benjamin, and his expression darkened. If he had some assets back then, he would definitely be able to come up with a generous dowry.
But now, he didn't even have a single copper coin in his pocket. It would be good enough if he didn't add to Beck's burden, let alone a dowry.
He was a father, too. How could he not understand Benjamin's thoughts? Who would want their child to suffer?
"Benjamin's daughter is so beautiful and capable. How can she marry a handicapped person?"
"Isn't that so? Many of us here want to become in-laws with him, but they were all rejected by Rachel."
Benjamin's voice wasn't soft, and it quickly attracted the attention of everyone. Even many of the masters stopped what they were doing and gathered at the door to watch the commotion as they discussed softly.
Since they love each other, why can't they be together? Gloria stood not far away and thought, puzzled. She saw Hada in the morning. Although he was handicapped, he didn't look like someone who needed charity. He had more backbone and ambition than many normal people.
When the two of them looked at each other, she saw what love looked like. She was a little envious, and wanted to give her blessings. She didn't expect Rachel's father to oppose it so severely.
"Rachel, quickly go and take a look. Your father is quarreling with someone!"
A female worker ran in from outside, and said anxiously.
"What?" Rachel was shocked. She got up and rushed to the door. As soon as she went out, she saw Angus standing in front of Benjamin dejectedly. Her father, on the other hand, was like a cockfight that had won, and was full of pride.
"Father, why are you here? I had a hard time looking for you." Before Rachel could step forward, a limping figure had already walked in from the outside in a hurry. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Angus was fine. Only then did he notice Benjamin who was standing at the side. Surprised, he quickly greeted respectfully, "Uncle."
Benjamin looked at Hada, and said coldly, "You came at the right time. Since your father is here today, I'll make things clear in front of you. As long as I'm Rachel's father, I'll never let Rachel marry you unless I'm dead. You can give up on this idea! Also, tell your father not to look for me anymore! From now on, you're not allowed to see Rachel again! "
Hada's eyes dimmed. He slowly clenched his fists, then released them weakly.
"Father, no matter what, I want to marry Hada!" Rachel rushed over and held Hada's hand tightly. She looked at Benjamin with determination.
Benjamin was so angry that his beard trembled. He pointed at Rachel, and said, "You … You're trying to anger me to death! H-what right does he have to give you a decent life? He'll only make you suffer for the rest of your life! "
"Could this be the person that Rachel is planning to have dinner with? He's a cripple. Her taste is too bad, isn't it? "Cynthia sized up Hada, and said with a pout.
"Yeah, I feel that he's not worthy of Rachel at all. What's she thinking?" The female workers were also puzzled.
"I think she's just blinded by that meal. She's so dizzy from being deceived. If she marries a cripple, she'll be laughed at when she goes out in the future. It's not dignified at all," Cynthia said sarcastically.
The female workers discussed fervently, and all wanted to watch a good show.
"Why does a woman need a man to give her dignity? Can't she earn it herself? "Just then, a doubtful voice sounded from the side.
