Chapter 191
“You really misunderstood, Mr. Snyder. They’re both my daughters, so I naturally won’t side with any one of them. When Stella got married, money was tight for me, so her dowry seemed a little meager. The car Sophia drove is mine. She went to pick it up for me. In the future, she’ll drive the old car. After all, she’ll need a car as a mode of transportation to go to work.”
Vermont raised a brow. “Is that so? Since you are now well-off, you should compensate your daughter’s dowry. Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be if others heard about this?”
His flattery put Albert on the spot.
‘Doesn’t he have a public persona of loving women? He’ll have to demonstrate it somehow, right?’ wondered Vermont.
Albert’s expression stiffened, as he was resentful and furious. However, he suppressed his emotions and said with a smile, “Of course. I’ll prepare it when I get home.”
Suddenly, Keegan peered at the bracelet Stella was looking at earlier on. Then, he said coolly,” The color of this bracelet is not bad.”
Vermont immediately took the hint.
“Mr. Jewell, if you ask me, you shouldn’t even wait till you get home. This bracelet is pretty good,” said Vermont.
Albert was so shocked he almost coughed out blood.
‘If I prepare the dowry at home, nobody will know what I’ve prepared. If I prepare it here, then. it’ll surely leave a dent in my wallet. They set me up, but I still need to jump in even when I know it’s a trap,’ he thought.
“Earlier, I heard you wanted to buy it for your younger daughter. Are you not willing to do it now that you’re buying it for your elder daughter?”
Vermont really knew where to hit someone where it hurt.
Albert swallowed and forced a smile. “That’s not true.”
He said to the salesperson. “Pack up this bracelet for me.”
Then, he looked at Stella with a loving smile and said, “I’ll only feel at ease when you’re living well.”
