Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 472

Maggie glared at her daughter, Cathy. “It’s your own fault for being useless. Otherwise, you would be the one getting engaged today!”

Cathy watched the Carter family and Daniel’s family mingling happily, her fists clenching in secret.

“Mom, I’m not giving up! Justin will be mine!” A ruthless glint flashed in Cathy’s eyes.

“Hmph! They’re already getting engaged. Do you really think you can steal him back now?” Maggie felt the matter was already set in stone.

“What I want, I get. I won’t give up!”

With that, Cathy walked away from the crowd.

The Carter parents sat down with Daniel and his family to discuss the engagement gift.

Mrs. Carter started, “Daniel, Amanda, we’re already relatives, so I’ll be direct. Justin just came back from overseas and doesn’t have much in savings. Could we perhaps waive the engagement gift?”

Daniel and his family exchanged glances.

The Carters didn’t want to pay the customary financial settlement!

“Mom, I’ll figure out the money. We can’t just skip it!” Justin interjected quickly.

Mrs. Carter tugged at him. “Stay out of this. We’re just discussing it, aren’t we? We need to talk this through reasonably. That’s why we’re here today!”

“Claire, what do you think? You’re marrying into the Carter family anyway. Whether we give the money or not, it all belongs to you and Justin eventually. Besides, Justin is our only son. You don’t have to worry about us playing favorites. Everything we own will be yours one day!” Mrs. Carter looked at Claire.

“I... I don’t really have an opinion,” Claire said.

“What are you saying? No engagement gift? How can we welcome a daughter-in-law without the proper customs?” Robert scolded his wife.

He smiled at Daniel and Amanda. “Daniel, Amanda, don’t be upset. Of course we’ll provide the gift. Claire is marrying into our family, and we won’t let her be shortchanged. Just tell us, what amount do you have in mind?”

Daniel and Amanda conferred for a moment. Amanda then said, “Let’s set it at two hundred thousand dollars.”

“Two hundred thousand! That... that’s a bit much, isn’t it? We... we spent most of our savings sending Justin to school overseas. This...” Mrs. Carter hesitated.

She didn’t dare offend Daniel’s family, so she just looked pained.

Daniel refused to budge. “Justin works for me. He makes over a million a year. Two hundred thousand is really not much for him. If your family can’t even show this little bit of sincerity, how can I trust you with my daughter?”
