Since the Jeffersons had agreed to give them a seven-figure bridal price, it certainly wouldn’t be in the form of cash. So, this bank card probably contained a few million.
After taking a look at the card, Fiona turned to Langdon, who then eyed his daughter with a hesitant expression.
Although they had no idea how much money the card contained, they didn’t think it was a small amount of money. Fiona and Langdon had lived modestly for all their lives, so they were nervous to have received so much money all of a sudden.
When Lola saw them like this, she said, “The card is yours now. Just take it.”
Trying to remain calm, Langdon replied, “Since we’re moving to live near your home, we won’t need so much money anyway. We’ll keep the money first. It’ll still be yours in the future.”
Just then, Logan and Lorraine came in with the gifts and placed them on the floor. After they chatted with Lola’s parents for a while longer, they returned to the city. In the past, Lola would feel reluctant whenever she had to leave her parents’ home. This time, however, she was relieved because her parents would be moving to live near her soon.
After they were gone, the neighbors started streaming into the house.
While Fiona was cleaning up the table, one of the neighbors asked, “They were here to pass you the bridal price, right? How much is it? Is it really a seven-figure bridal price?”
Some of them were taking a look at the gifts, but they were shocked upon hearing that it was a seven-figure bridal price, so they turned to look at Fiona. “No way! How rich is their family to afford a seven-figure bridal price? Could it be a bluff? Where’s the money? Show us!”
Ignoring the gossipy neighbors, Fiona picked up the empty cups and plates before entering the kitchen.
