Married at First Sight
If Feng Ruo was innocent, then wasn’t Kathryn just as innocent?
What angered Feng Yue the most wasn’t just that her daughter had been switched at birth—it was that the people who took her didn’t even treat her well. If they had shown her daughter just a little kindness, she wouldn’t have hated them so much.
Other people’s daughters grew up spoiled, surrounded by wealth and luxury, while her own daughter suffered abuse and was nearly sold off. How could any mother not be filled with hatred after learning the truth?
Zheng Hua’s voice interrupted her thoughts.
“Ah Qing, you’re about to get your marriage certificate. I assume you’ve already set the date. Don’t let Dad hold you up—just hurry up and give me the betrothal money. Once you do, I’ll head back home immediately.”
“I won’t come looking for you again this year.”
Kathryn scoffed internally.
Once she got married and moved away from Jiangcheng, her father would have a hard time finding her. He wouldn’t see her unless she wanted him to.
She looked at him coldly. “Isn’t the betrothal money supposed to be for me? Traditionally, when a woman gets married, the money belongs to her. I didn’t even ask my dad for a dowry, so how does he have the nerve to demand my betrothal money?”
Zheng Hua’s face darkened. “Betrothal money is given to the parents. When parents are financially stable, they don’t take their daughter’s money—they give it back to her. But I’m already in my seventies. I can’t work anymore, and I have no income.”
“Give your betrothal money to your father. It will serve as my retirement fund.”
Kathryn’s expression remained cold. “I’ve already given Dad living expenses. I know exactly how much money he has. Not just for one year—what he has now is enough to last at least three years.”
“The betrothal money Pedro gave me is mine. I’m not giving it to anyone else.”
“You can’t force me. If you try, I’ll have someone drag you out of here.” Her tone turned sharp. “Dad, I suggest you leave now before you make me angry again.”
She leaned in slightly, her voice laced with a quiet threat.
“Do you still care about your three sons? Do you want them to come out of this alive?”
“If you push me too far, you’ll have no one left to support you in your old age. And as for the money you’ve saved… if I want it back, I have plenty of ways to make that happen. Believe it or not, I could leave you homeless and starving.”
