Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 473

“Mr. Whelan, I’m willing to pay it. Forget two hundred thousand—I’d give two million if I had to!” Justin said hastily.

He looked at his parents. “Mom, Dad, don’t worry about this. I won’t make you pay a cent of the engagement gift. I’ll figure it out myself. Let’s consider it settled!”

Mrs. Carter couldn’t argue with her son’s declaration without losing face.

Besides, upsetting Daniel’s family now would risk blowing the whole marriage alliance.

She could only silently ache over the money. Two hundred thousand dollars!

“Then regarding the dowry...” Mrs. Carter suddenly thought of something else.

The moment the words left her mouth, Robert shot her a glare, and she shut up immediately.

She had been thinking that since they were paying two hundred thousand, Daniel should provide a substantial dowry in return.

Otherwise, wouldn’t they be losing money?

“Good, since that’s settled, let’s get ready! Claire, let’s go,” Justin took Claire’s hand and led her away.

They needed to prepare downstairs.

Justin still had to formally propose to Claire on stage.

The stage was already set up.

Mrs. Carter’s face was incredibly grim.

Privately, she whispered to Robert, “That’s two hundred thousand dollars! Two hundred thousand! My heart physically hurts!”

Robert scoffed. “Short-sighted. What is two hundred thousand? Don’t forget, Elena is marrying Dylan. Think of the value that brings to the Carter family. Our son will be brothers-in-law with Dylan! His future is limitless. Why worry about a measly two hundred thousand?”

“But... what about the dowry? We should have discussed the dowry. We can’t let them give nothing, right?”

“Enough! What dowry? You’ll make us look stingy. Let them prepare whatever they want. If you act petty and offend Daniel, we lose everything. They aren’t the same people they used to be!”

Amanda cried even harder as she spoke.

Back when they were poor, she worried no one would want Claire.

Now that the engagement was real, she couldn’t bear to let her go.

“We really owe Claire. We owe her so much...”

Elena gently patted Amanda’s back. “Mom, our lives are good now. Today is a happy occasion for Claire. Don’t be sad, or she’ll worry when she sees you.”

“Elena is right. Stop crying,” Daniel added from the side.

He was reluctant to let his daughter go too, but as a man, he had to hold it in.

“Okay, I won’t be sad. I won’t be sad...” Amanda forced a smile.
