Chapter 255
“What Happened?” I asked on purpose..
“Lily is back. Let her be the judge on that one.” My mother-in-law immediately got up and pulled me down to sit next to her. “We were talking about Eliza.”
“Mother!” Carson wanted to stop his mother, but she ignored him.
“Lily, didn’t I tell you that Eliza has a new boyfriend? I went to his house with his father-in-law today. The guy is from a wealthy family and lives in a mansion. His house is a lot bigger than ours and definitely a lot fancier.”
“Really?!” I made a surprised face.
“Yes. Eliza’s boyfriend also looks fine. Besides, he doesn’t mind that we’re not rich and he’s willing to be with Eliza, so we discussed their marriage as well.”
“So fast?”
“We have to be quick. Eliza has to get married as soon as possible, as she is now pregnant. We were scared that he wouldn’t want to marry her, but now that he’s agreed, isn’t that great news?”
“Of course, it’s good news. Isn’t that right, husband?” I looked at Carson’s dark face and asked.
“How is that good news?” Carson still looked upset.
“So I was saying to Carson, since Eliza’s boyfriend didn’t mind, and we’ve come to terms with a marriage, our family should at least show some appreciation, right?”
Appreciation? I laughed in my heart. Carson is probably upset because he knows they’re going to ask for money again. He had just fallen into Eric’s trap at the company today and been ripped off in millions. Now, even his sister wants money from him too. I suppose him being upset is an understatement.
Even though that’s what I thought, I still smiled. “Yes, we should show them some appreciation.”
“I knew Lily would agree! I told Carson to prepare some money as part of Eliza’s dowry so she wouldn’t be criticized by her future mother-in-law, but he refused. You don’t think Carson is unreasonable?”
“Husband, it is entirely reasonable for you as a brother to pay your sister’s wedding dowry now that she is getting married. Why do
you refuse to do it?”
“That’s what I said too. Even Jolene bought a fifty grand car for her little brother. As the head of a company, you should at least give a few million.”
A few million? Did they really think Carson was a money-printing machine? I gloated as I looked at Carson’s pissed off expression.
Did you not generously buy a company for your mistress and pay for the bribe? Can’t wait to see what you do when
it comes to your sister.
Eliza burst into tears when she heard her mother talking about Jolene spending fifty grand to buy her little brother a car. “Carson, you should take a good look at Jolene and reflect on how you are treating me, your little sister!”
