Chapter 792
However, all Peter felt was how ridiculous it was. He hadn’t even invested in it and he already said that it was “our development project”. The old man was quite thick-skinned.
“What do you think about it, Peter?” Mr. Thomas asked as he rubbed his hands, looking at Peter like a gold mine.
Peter remembered that little girl that had run around behind him since he was little.
“Three million dollars shall be the bride price, then,” he said calmly.
Mr. Thomas opened his eyes wide and he was almost going to jump out of pure glee.
He was already prepared to wear him down with more speeches, but he didn’t expect the boy to be so obedient!
“However, this is after Britney and I are officially wedded,” Peter added and looked at him with his deep eyes.
“Of course! We never had any problems with your marriage. You can get your marriage certificate tomorrow if you want!” Mr. Thomas happily got up and walked away, wanting to tell his wife about the good news.
It wasn’t long after Mr. Thomas left when Esme walked in with bags in her hands.
Peter gave her a glance but didn’t speak to her.
Esme sat opposite him and quietly asked, “Why did you promise to give him that much money?”
“To marry you. That’s the bride price to the family,” Peter said with a fake smile.
“But they’re not my real parents!” Esme said with a pale face as if she was the one paying them!
“What? you want me to give the money to Mr. and Mrs. Manning?” Peter said in disdain. “Are you and your parents worth that much?”
“And Britney’s parents are worth it?” Esme said angrily, even her expression became twisted. When Peter looked at the face of this “Britney”, he suddenly felt his stomach getting upset.
“Britney, what do you want to eat tonight?” Mrs. Thomas came over and asked happily. “What about you, Peter?”
“I’m going out to dinner with Peter! Don’t worry about it.” Esme dragged Peter’s arm and pulled him up.
Mrs. Thomas was startled. “But I already promised Peter that we’ll have dinner together at home today.”
“You’re so unromantic, woman!” Mr. Thomas quickly ran over and pulled Mrs. Thomas away, and then waved his hand toward his daughter and future son-in-law.
“Just go out and eat! Eat whatever you want! Britney, remember to pay for it, alright? I’ll reimburse you for it!”
Esme faked a smile and dragged Peter out.
Once they were in the car, she immediately said, “I refuse to let you give that old man 3 million dollars!”
“Do I need to discuss with you how to use my money?” Peter said as he started the car, his expression cold.
“You’re marrying me, not Britney Thomas! Why are you giving them so much money?!” The more Esme thought about it, the angrier she became. “Peter, are you feeling remorseful? So, you want to buy some peace of mind by giving them money?”
Peter gripped the steering wheel tightly as he stepped on the accelerator.
Esme hadn’t even put on the seat belt and her body was bending forward. She screamed as she held onto the handrail tightly.
“What are you doing?!”
“I’m just reminding you to remember who you are,” Peter said icily. “You’re Britney Thomas. There’s nothing wrong for the son-in-law to finance his father-in-law’s investment.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad)
I had known that the ending would be like this , I would never had read this book. It didn’t have a right ending at all. Made no sense. Don’t waste your time....
Evil should never win and Lucifer has harmed far to many....
This should not end this way. Fia, rather than following Lucifer’s evil path should reflect and realize that she has always loved Conrad and he has always loved her. Their problems were due to the interference of others, Beryl, Esme etc . Since she is the only one that can approach Lucifer, she and Peter should cooperate with each other, kill Lucifer and evil Beryl, Peter can remove the toxins/ poison from everyone and each will be able to live normal lives without interfering with others relationship's. The children deserve their real father who will love them dearly and provide and protect them with the life they deserve. Gia has been a fool since the beginning and has believed everyone but her beloved husband. Please end this on a good note, that is why we all read these stories, everyone loves a happy ending....
