"Even so, that doesn't excuse your being with two women. You were seeing Miss Harper but still agreed to dates with Minna. Just because you're wealthy doesn't mean you can play with people's feelings." "That's not what happened." Ethan's patience was wearing thin. He couldn't understand how Julissa could be so easily fooled by Elsa. "Since you know so much about our family, you should realize that Kenny has always been the obedient one, following every expectation our parents set, whether in school or his career. I'm nothing like my brother. I've always pushed back against the path my parents tried to force things on me," Ethan continued. "My mother had a way of controlling everything, and whenever my father or I stood our ground, she'd get so angry that she couldn't even eat or sleep. I'm sure she's vented to you about that before?"
