Stanley asked his wife and daughter to leave. When he stood in front of Edie alone, he looked awkward, "if your mother knows that you could be so happy, she will be full of great joy. I have not been a good father to you, and I felt sad about it,"
"How? She already died. She would never be able to attend my wedding. I don't see anything joyful." Edie showed a light smile.
She had always respected the man in front of her, her father. But after he slapped her, she realized this man would consider nothing for her. All he cared about was a benefit. All he wanted is to seek something good for his new family. Edie thought she wasn't his real daughter the way he treated her.
He got married to his wife just because it would help to drive his business.
Victoria majored in finance because of the benefit.
Edie also heard that he chose the son-in-law based on the benefit.
He saw nothing but benefit.
