He was eager to make Sabrina his wife. As soon as they paid, she would be his.
Once Andrew brought Sabrina from these human traffickers and made her his wife, he would boast
about his stunning wife right away.
Not only did he have a wife, but he married a woman more beautiful than Clifford’s!
Clifford’s family was even poorer than Andrew’s. He didn’t have any parents and the only relative he
had ever since he was a child was his grandfather. However, Clifford was tall and he had good grades
in high school. Since the teachers knew about his family’s situation, they exempted him from the tuition
and also granted him a bursary.
As a result, Clifford got admission to the university.
It was rare to see one receive education in this remote and poverty-stricken area. Therefore, Clifford
was often praised by the residents here and soon became a role model.
Andrew’s and Clifford’s houses were close, so Andrew grew up being compared to Clifford.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter graduating from the university, Clifford worked in the city’s highest-rated high school. On the other
hand, Andrew didn’t even finish high school. After dropping out of school, Andrew tried to do several
jobs but none of them lasted. When he became the subject of the village’s gossip, he became irritated
and depressed.
After Clifford’s grandfather passed away, Clifford was the only one left in the family. Although he didn’t
have a house or car and had little to no savings, he was an outstanding young man and many women
still wanted to marry him. However, Clifford rejected them all.
ALL of that changed two years ago when Clifford returned to clean his grandfather’s tomb. He had
brought a girl with him which caused a buzz. Andrew’s uncle asked Clifford about the girl and found out
that the girl was Clifford’s girlfriend and the daughter of the principal.
The residents admired Clifford even more. Once again, Andrew, who was still in his parents’ house
growing old without any prospects, was compared to Clifford. Andrew was not handsome and also
incompetent, making it obvious that he was worthless.
At that time, Andrew and Clifford were both thirty years old. Many of their age mates were already
married and had children of their own, leaving Clifford and Andrew as the only bachelors among their
peers.
There was a running joke that Clifford didn’t want to get married, and Andrew couldn’t find a woman to
marry him. If Clifford wanted to marry, he would find a good girl easily. Eagerly, Andrew’s parents had
set up many blind dates for Andrew, but none of those girls agreed to marry him.
Later, Clifford married his girlfriend who gave him a big house as a wedding gift. Apart from the times
Clifford came to visit his grandfather’s tomb, Clifford rarely returned.
As for Andrew, he seldom went out. He didn’t go out to work, nor did he do the housework. From time
to time, he even got angry at his parents and yelled at them.
If it was only the residents who compared Andrew to Clifford, Andrew might not resent Clifford so
much.
But an incident occurred that only few people knew about.
Back then, the matchmaker introduced a woman to Clifford. The woman already knew that Clifford
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgraduated from university and had a decent job that paid a good salary. When she saw his tall and
handsome face, she liked him immediately. However, Clifford felt that they were not compatible and
refused.
Not long after, the matchmaker introduced the same woman to Andrew.
Andrew was aware of his limitations, so he did not have any high expectations. As long as the woman
was willing to marry him, he would definitely agree.
However, when the woman saw Andrew, she inspected him from head to toe, turned around, and left.
As she walked away, she questioned the matchmaker, “Is this the man you told me is on par with
Clifford?
What a waste of my time!”
Ever since then, Andrew hated Clifford more and more.
However, there was nothing Andrew could do to Clifford, so he kept his hatred bottled up in his heart,
festering and infecting his mind and soul until he became a gloomy man.
