Chapter 1631
"David, you are so funny. Let's not talk about how your newly established trading company will survive under this
intense competition. Even if you have the strength, it has nothing to do with me. Treasure Trove is not mine
anyway," Alba said with a smile.
"How so? Aren't you the third young mistress of Treasure Trove? Doesn’t Treasure Trove belong to the Fellowes
family?” David asked suspiciously.
"I am the third young mistress of Treasure Trove, but I am not the heir of Treasure Trove. As a woman, I am not
qualified to be the heir." 2
"Isn't this blatant discrimination? I thought that a major force like yours should prefer powerful people over weak
people, or anyone who's virtuous. Why are they still so patriarchal?"
"David, you are wrong! The bigger the power, the more important it is for blood inheritance. Women will have to
get married in the future, so how can they be entrusted with important responsibilities?"
"Just don't get married then. It'll be the same if you find a live-in son-in- law!"
'That won't work either! Women's bloodlines are much weaker than men’s, while the bloodline of the children they
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgive birth to will be even thinner. Moreover, it will only get weaker and weaker in the future. Only men can continue
the family bloodline."
"I don't understand what's on your mind. What age is it that you still care about this?" David shook his head and
asked.
Men and women were equal on Earth. 1
Unexpectedly, there were still such ancient customs being continued in this distant starry sky.
They were regressing.
'The family bloodline is the continuation of a family. This is an eternal truth throughout the ages. All family forces
will attach great importance to it. However, it is normal for someone like you who inherits your skills from a master
to not understand this. When you become stronger and have your own family, you will understand," Alba explained.
She was not willing to accept this slander.
However, Alba did not feel that there was anything wrong with the ancient rule of blood inheritance.
She only hated herself for being a woman and not a man.
Alba thought she was no worse than the heirs of the Fellowes family.
Just because she was a daughter, she was not qualified to compete with them.
Not only was she ineligible to compete, but she could not even make decisions about her marriage.
For the benefit of the family, Alba could only sacrifice her happiness to marry other families to strengthen the
Fellowes family.
This was the tragedy of being born into a big family.
"So, Miss Fellowes, will you also leave the Fellowes family and get married in the future?" David asked suddenly.
"Of course! This is my mission as a member of the Fellowes family!" Alba replied as it should.
There did not seem to be any dissatisfaction on her face.
As for whether she had it inside, only she knew.
"Would it be a marriage connection between families?"
"Why ask me when you already know?” Alba sighed.
"Does a big family like the Fellowes family need to marry other families?" David asked, feeling puzzled.
He felt that when the strength of the family reached a certain level, there should be no need to sacrifice the
happiness of the younger generation for a marital connection.
"David, it seems that you have indeed just been released by your master and don't understand Star Kingdom’s
power structure at all."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'That's true! Please clarify it for me."
"If you compare wealth in Star Kingdom, the Fellowes family can definitely rank in the top three, but if you compare
strength, the Fellowes family can't even make the top twenty. When your strength is not fit for your wealth and it's
unbalanced, you need to find ways to solve it. Marriage is one such solution.”
When Alba explained it this way, David understood it completely.
The Fellowes family was not weak, but they were too wealthy and it caused their status to be completely out of
balance.
The wealth of a family ranking in the top three must at least have strength ranking in the top five in order to barely
maintain a balance.
Meanwhile, their strength was only in the top twenty, so it was indeed not enough.
This led to the Fellowes family having to find a way to make amends.
Finding a marriage with a force stronger than oneself was one of them.
The other way was nothing more than giving away part of their wealth to keep the family safe.
Every family had their own problems.
It seemed that a big family as strong as the Fellowes family was not doing well either.
