Chapter 70 Dowry for Five Hundred Million
“So, you must provide this 500 million dowry.”
Jamie’s tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation Rose seemed to find it the most absurd joke sh had ever heard.
“Is Kelly helping me fulfill my engagement?” she asked.
The words were so preposterous that she wouldn’t have believed them if she hadn’t heard them from Jamie himself. Nevertheless, these words came genuinely from his mouth.
The situation was that she had been cheated by Nixon and Kelly. In an instant, anger surged through he
mind.
She gritted her teeth and said coldly. “Then why don’t you ask her and Nixon how many times they’ve slept together behind my back all these years?”
“Smack!”
Rose had just spoken when a resounding slap landed on her face. The stinging pain radiated through her
Jamie stared at her with a stern look as he said, “You’re the one who’s shamelessly fooling around with men. Yet, you dare to slander your sister?”
Rose’s heart couldn’t help but ache even though it was already filled with scars. After her mother passed
away,
Jamie brought Chelsea back less than a year later.
He showered his love on his stepdaughter and indulged her every request. At the time, she had thought, he favored obedient children like Kelly.
It wasn’t until one day when she overheard a conversation between Jamie and Chelsea that she learned Kelly was their illegitimate child. Furthermore, Kelly was just three months younger than her.
It was truly ridiculous.
Rose smiled wryly as she fixed her gaze on Jamie for a while before saying, “Am I your daughter?”
Jamie’s eyes flashed slightly.
He seemed to be hiding something as he turned his head, changing the subject as he said coldly, “Today, you must sign this document, whether you want it or not.”
Rose glanced at the document on the table and scoffed, “500 million? I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. Since I graduated, I haven’t taken a single penny from the family. Where am I going to get 500 million?”
Even if she had that money, she wouldn’t use it as Kelly’s dowry. However, Jamie had thought of a way to manipulate her.
“You do. I heard Mr. Finch spent 500 million to acquire the couple rings you designed, not to mention the fire opal necklace. After deducting some fees and the share the organizers of the competition took, you should have received around 500 million. It’s just right for your sister’s dowry.”
Rose couldn’t help but sneer. It seemed he had his eye on that. His plan was quite clever.
“I’ll tell you now, even if I can get 500 million, I won’t use it as a dowry for Kelly.” She left these words
behind and walked out of the room.
+15 BONU!
Jamie’s voice came faintly from behind, “You will! Just wait and see.”
Rose ignored him as she quickly entered the elevator. When the elevator reached the ground floor, Rose was about to step out when she saw Kelly waiting by the elevator.
She furrowed her brows and walked out of the elevator, brushing past her.
However, as they passed each other, Kelly suddenly taunted, “Rose, did you sign the document?”
Rose halted in her tracks before turning to face Kelly. The two sisters locked eyes. Kelly’s face was
adorned with a radiant, innocent smile.
“Don’t blame me. It was Dad’s idea.”
“Is that so?” Rose asked as she raised an eyebrow and took a step closer to her.
“Rose, the banquet hall is right next to us, and people are coming and going. If you want to do something…”
Before finishing her sentence, Rose suddenly grabbed her wrist. She was caught off guard. By the time she reacted, she had been pulled into the elevator, and the doors closed slowly.
Rose clenched her fist and struck her face with a powerful punch.
“Ah!” she let out a miserable scream.
There was a palpable smell of blood in the air, and her face was visibly swollen.
Rose flexed her wrist’s tendons and grinned with a cold smile as she said, “Since your father cares so much for you, I let you experience it on his behalf.”
The punch she just delivered was in return for the slap Jamie had given her earlier. With that, she walked
of the elevator as the doors opened.
The pain that had plagued her heart after being taken advantage of by Jamie had been relieved with that one punch. She would never provide the dowry for Kelly.
