Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1478

Chapter 1478 Is It Worth It

Edmund was still rooted to the spot when Sasha left. Everyone was occupied. Nobody paid extra attention to him, and neither did anyone notice when he walked out of the bar.

The next few days, Riley did not show up at the bar because something happened at the Coopers.

Her youngest sister was knocked up by a man. Consequently, she had to get hitched soonest possible.

“Riley, I can’t marry into his family just like that. We should demand for a house and a car at the very least. Otherwise, it’s downright humiliating for me. How am I supposed to stand up for myself in his family?”

“Yeah, she’s right! Nothing lesser than that,” Gabriella chimed in.

Riley went ballistic and retorted her sister, “Is that all you care about? Do you think you have the cheek to make demands after having premarital sex and getting pregnant? The Coopers are now a laughing stock because of you. Yet, all that you can think of now is wanting a house and a flashy car?”

How she wished she could knock some sense into her!

Why do we have such a twisted mentality in the Coopers?

Ironically, her sister did not feel sorry at all. Conversely, she failed to recognize her mistake and behaved even more ridiculously.

“Yes, I’m the black sheep of the family. But, how is this my fault? Dad passed away without leaving us with anything, causing others to despise us. I was just trying to find a good family to depend on for the sake of giving the Coopers a better life.”

“You…” Riley was so furious that her body started shaking from anger.

In the end, Gabriella had to separate her two daughters. She pulled Riley into her room.

“Riley, that man has a decent family background. His father works at the Naval Force. Though his position isn’t very high, a family as such is considered above average. Do you remember Desmond Croll? He too climbed the social ladder step by step and raised to the top eventually,” Gabriella advised her daughter earnestly.

Rubbing her palms, Riley had no choice but to agree to the marriage. She closed her eyes, trying to suppress her displeasure.

“Fine, I got it. I’ll find a way to sort out the dowry. It’s best you stay at home and monitor her. Don’t let her mess things up any further.”

She left the room right away.

A house and a car…

According to the standards of living in Jadeborough, these would cost approximately five to six million at the very minimum. For a family like the Coopers who were already struggling to make ends meet, it was almost impossible to have a wedding ceremony.

Bothered by financial quandary, Riley arrived at a nightclub.
