"As a fellow parent of a candidate, I advise you: do not underestimate a young man just because he is poor!" Amir Laika's words firmly placed Aunt Kiah in a position of shame.
With Amir Laika's demeanor and attire reflecting his upper middle class status, Aunt Kiah didn't have the courage to argue with him.
Feeling like a laughing stock, Aunt Kiah grabbed her son's hand, intending to leave the scene.
However, after taking a few steps, Azfar Ren shook off her hand.
He quickly walked over to Ethen Cole, took a deep breath, and said with embarrassment:
"Big Brother Ethen, I apologize on behalf of my mother! No matter what, you are still my Big Brother Ethen!"
As he spoke, Azfar Ren bowed to Ethen Cole.
Seeing this, much of the anger within Ethen Cole dissipated.
He understood that this situation was not really Azfar Ren's fault.
Azfar Ren was still the same sincere and genuine little brother he had always been.
