To Live an Eternal Life novel Chapter 3

Bride price?

Charlie was a little confused. Could it be that Jaiden sent over?

"I don't know which wealthy men has crushed on the girl of the Hunt Family." Katherine's eyes were shining. She said, "Charlie, do you know what the bride price is?"

"Tell me."

"Gold hairpin, gold clothes, a legendary luminous pearl, green jade, gold and diamonds... In short, there is everything. The most shocking is the money."

Katherine patted her chest. She was still very surprised, and said, "It's 9.99 million dollars which are filled in three big boxes. After it was opened, my God, everyone in the Old House was quiet and it last for more than a minute. Everyone was shocked."

"The man didn’t say who gave this?"

"No, but..."

Katherine paused a little. She looked at Charlie, and said, "The person who gave the gift said he was from the Lloyd family, but he didn't tell us his full name and didn't tell us who gave the gifts. So now the Hunt Family is arguing, especially the girls who are not married. They are arguing who will be the lucky girl."

"The most disgusting thing is that bastard, Ewan, used this to humiliate us. It's so embarrassing. Mom felt so unhappy. So we didn't finish the meal and then came back."

"It seems that Mom will be unhappy for a few days. If she scolds you, just pretend that you can't hear it. Don't take it to your heart. It really gets you wronged."

Charlie shook his head. Now he was sure about his guess.

The bride price was given by Jaiden. This old boy was really shrewd. He even sent those bride gifts to the Hunt Old House but didn't explain clearly.

Wasn't it obvious to let the Hunt Family turn against each other?

Of course, Charlie also had speculations that Jaiden might want to avenge him.

But with his current identity, even if he said it was him who gave the bride price, who would believe it?

Charlie smiled bitterly. It seemed that he could only explain it in the future.

"Do you envy it?"

"What?" Katherine was taken aback.

Charlie said, "You are so beautiful, outstanding in ability, and good in character. If you don't marry me, you can compete with other women in the Hunt Family. On your terms, you are likely to win and then marry into a rich family."

Katherine groaned, "Yes, I indeed envied it a little, but just for a short while. Now I don't envy it anymore."

"Why?" Charlie was surprised.

"The important thing in the marriage is to find the right person. If you aren’t excellent enough, even if you marry into a big wealthy family, you will definitely not have a good life. Instead, you will be trapped in a cage. I know myself well. The life like now is very good. The family is taken care of by you. I can concentrate on my career."

Charlie fell silent, and then smiled for a while. He asked again, "Why don't you think about that the bride price was to you?"

Katherine rolled her eyes at him, "Are you insane? I'm married. Which rich men want a married woman? It cannot be me."

It was not necessarily.

Charlie murmured, but didn't say it out.
