Master Blair's Fiery Pursuit novel Chapter 33

Mable looked coldly at Mr. and Mrs. Snyder. She was calm.

“Mr. Snyder, you’re joking. As the heir of the Jeffersons, I own 60% of the company’s shares. Do I not have the right to cancel a collaboration?

“As for the billion dollars, it was originally my dowry, and there was a note when the initial payment was made. Now that the engagement between your son and I has been broken off, by reason or law, it has to be returned. Mrs. Snyder, you can consult a lawyer if you have any questions.”

“You!”

Frank pulled Mable’s arm with a ghastly look on his face. “Aggie, what are you doing? Riss is marrying into the Snyders now. It’s only natural that the dowry is for her too.”

Mable looked as if she heard some kind of joke. “Marissa might also be a granddaughter of the Jeffersons, but there’s a difference between us. I’m afraid she’s not worthy of such a high dowry.”

Marissa looked aggrieved. “Agnes, how can you say that about me?”

She knew Agnes would not be so kind. At the end of the day, this was what she was up to.

Dane wrapped his arm around Marissa and glared at Mable. “Agnes, don’t go too far!”

“Is it me who’s going too far, or are you the ones crossing the line?!”

Mable looked at them sternly. “I’m generous enough to let her have my fiance. Now, you want me to give her my dowry as well. Do you think I’m a pushover?”

“Since the engagement has been canceled, the dowry should be returned.”

“Yeah. Ms. Jefferson has taken the initiative to return the gift from the Snyders, so it wouldn’t be right if the Snyders refuse to return the dowry.”

…

All of a sudden, Mrs. Snyder pulled Mable’s hand with a warm and friendly face. “Aggie, I know you’re still angry with Dane. He and Marissa haven’t received their marriage license yet, so—”

Upon hearing her words, Marissa was anxious. “Mom, what do you mean by that?!”

Mrs. Snyder smiled faintly at Marissa and frowned. “Marissa, you and Dane aren’t married yet. Don’t you think it’s too early for you to call me Mom?”

If Agnes were not in the picture, Marissa would be the only heir to the Jeffersons, and Dane marrying her would only benefit the Snyders.

Now that Agnes was still alive and she was the head of the family, Marissa could not be compared to her at all.

In that case, it would be better for Dane to marry Agnes.

Marissa looked at Mrs. Snyder with anger. ‘This snob!’
