Grace Williams leaned in close to Amelia and murmured, “Remember that matchmaking
dinner? Boss Zion’s Sunshine Pigment got bought by Damien. Your dad’s just thinking it’d be
great to get some cooperation going. This could mean a lot for our family business. Why
don’t you give Damien a quick call?”
Wait–Sunshine Pigment was bought out by Damien? That was news to Amelia. If that was
true, didn’t that mean she basically had a lifetime supply of paint?
“it’s a tiny thing. I doubt he’d be upset over something like this,” Grace added, trying to
downplay it.
Amelia had dodged their asks too many times already, and this time, it really wasn’t a big
deal. Still, she didn’t want to help Richard Johnson at all.
Seeing Amelia silent, Richard started giving Grace all kinds of signals with his eyebrows.
Grace let out a quiet sigh, lowered her tone, and coaxed, “Amelia, think about it this way-
helping the family is helping yourself too, right? You’ll be marrying Damien someday. If our
family gets a good deal, your dowry will look great. That’s a win–win, isn’t it?”
That caught Amelia’s interest. Her eyes lit up slightly as she smiled slyly and asked, “Then
Dad, how much dowry would you be willing to give me?”
Richard choked at that, then shoved Grace aside with a look of frustration. “Of course we
won’t shortchange you. But right now, just call Damien.”
“I can call him, sure. But since we’re already bringing up the dowry, let’s put it on the table.
Don’t you think maybe Damien hasn’t mentioned marriage yet ‘cause he’s waiting to see what
kind of dowry we’re offering? I mean, just because the Taylor family is loaded doesn’t mean
they don’t care about the proper customs. We should at least show some sincerity, right, Dad?” Amelia sighed, playing the victim card hard.
Realizing she’d overstepped, Grace didn’t even bother trying to stay. She quietly slipped out of
the study.
But she wasn’t ready to give up just yet. She stood just outside the door eavesdropping–after
all, talk of dowries wasn’t just small talk.
