Chapter 784
Jennifer had no intention of letting Lucas stay, so he could only try to distract her.
And honestly, he was curious.
He had warned Leon before that getting past the Redson family would not be easy.
But he had not expected things between Leon and Jennifer to blow up this fast.
So Lucas really wanted to know what had happened.
“His mother told me to leave him.”
“Oh. That’s normal. But that can’t be the only reason things escalated this quickly, right?”
Telling a girlfriend to leave was the usual move for women like Leon’s mother.
The moment they decided their son’s girlfriend was not the kind of person the family wanted, they stepped in to
deal with it.
“When you started dating Leon, didn’t you know you’d have to face this eventually?”
The gap between their backgrounds was obvious.
Jennifer should have known this would happen from the start.
“She offered me one hundred dollars to leave Leon. Was I supposed to just swallow that?”
“One million? That’s not worth getting upset over. They’re used to using money to solve problems.”
“One hundred dollars.”
Lucas went quiet.
His brain seemed to stall.
He looked at Jennifer, the corner of his mouth twitching.
Wait.
“One hundred dollars?”
Lucas honestly wondered whether he had heard wrong.
What kind of number was that?
Did Leon’s mother think her own son was only worth a hundred dollars?
Was she humiliating Jennifer?
Or was she saying Leon was worthless?
Jennifer nodded sharply.
“Yes. One hundred dollars”
So he had heard right
The moment Lucas accepted the number, he went silent
Charter 54
+15 89
Then he almost laughed.
One hundred dollars.
In the Redson family, Leon was apparently worth one hundred dollars.
“Ha…”
He could not hold it in.
Lucas laughed out loud.
Jennifer had already been furious.
Now hearing him laugh, her face darkened even more.
She was upset, and Lucas was standing there laughing?
Jennifer stared at him without saying a word.
The look should have made Lucas nervous.
Instead, it only made him want to laugh harder.
“I can’t. Mrs. Redson is unbelievable. One hundred dollars? She thinks her son is worth one hundred dollars?”
Jennifer said nothing.
What had started as something infuriating was suddenly becoming absurd.
After hearing Lucas put it that way, even the corner of Jennifer’s mouth twitched.
Right.
What looked like humiliation toward her had somehow turned into Leon being worth one hundred dollars.
Was Leon really only worth that much to his own family?
That was ridiculously cheap.
“I honestly don’t understand why she gave you a hundred dollars,” Lucas said, still laughing. “Did she think that was enough to humiliate you?”
“Wasn’t it?”
Anyone in Jennifer’s position would have felt insulted.
But now…
“She was humiliating her own son more than anyone,” Lucas said, laughing again.
One hundred dollars.
In the Redson family’s eyes, Leon was worth a hundred dollars
