427 CATHERINE'S ANGER

"…In our society, a woman who loses her chastity before marriage loses value. And now you are saying I should have done something to give away my chastity? How could you!"

Catherine's eyes were burning in rage.

"It's your son who cannot control his desire. It's his fault to give in to someone's seduction when he already pledged his love and loyalty to me. 

"You talk about men's desire. I've been working with men for several years but I haven't seen anyone lust for women so crazily that they would cheat on their wives. You have a husband. Did he ever lust for other women?"

"Watch your tongue, girl!" Vincent's mother sternly reprimanded her. "I didn't want you to get married in the first place but only agreed because my son chose you. An orphan like you is not even fit for my son!"
