But as the saying goes, it's not the thief you fear, but the thief's intention. Shea didn't wait for Mr. Thorne to react and immediately said, "Dad, I don't care about any other conditions, but if you're with a woman who has been a mistress before, then in this family, there will be her and not me."
With these words, Shea watched Mrs. Crawford's face grow progressively unpleasant and kindly asked, "Auntie, do you think I'm right? Sooner or later, I will get married, and my dad will need companionship in the future. While we're not extremely rich, we still have some standing; whoever is with my dad can be divorced or widowed, but they can't have been a mistress. Otherwise, when they go out, they'll be gossiped about, and people might think they were a mistress to my dad. That would be utterly embarrassing."
