Chapter 117
“Peter, I’ll say this today. I’ve already accepted the 100 thousand dollars as an engagement gift. If you know what’s good for you, marry your daughter to the Wright family immediately. Otherwise, I’ll die in front of you,” said Layla.
Seeing that Peter and Jessica were unmoved, Layla pretended to hit the wall.
Liam grabbed her and said hoarsely, “Mom, you can’t die. Peter has been disobedient for a long time. If he says no, we’ll leave it to the Wright family to handle.”
Upon hearing this, Peter’s expression changed again as he thought, ‘Liam is smart. He war
Everyone knew the Wright family was like local hooligans who did things without rules.
If the Wright family got involved, they would be in endless trouble.
with our family without bloodshed.’
And William, on the other hand, pointed at Peter’s nose and scolded, “Look at how angry you’ve made Mom. Peter, if you still have a conscience, do as Mom say’s and marry her over. Otherwise, the Wright family won’t be easy to deal with.”
Peter snorted and was determined not to compromise. “I didn’t see a cent of the 100 thousand dollars as the engagement gift. Even if the Wright family wants to fight a lawsuit, it won’t be my turn.”
William’s expression changed. He sighed and pretended to be helpless. “Why are you so stubborn? Anyway, your daughter has just been found. You haven’t raised her before and don’t have any feelings for her. Isn’t it good to marry her off for 100 thousand dollars?”
Liam also chimed in, “That’s 100 thousand dollars. Not everyone can afford this price. Peter, you won’t have another chance if you miss this opportunity. The older a woman gets, the less valuable she is…”
“Shut up!” Peter was furious. He flipped over a chair and glared at William and Liam.
He said, “You’re Audrey’s elders after all. How can you say such things?”
Liam said, “I’m doing this for your good. Why won’t you listen…”
Peter sneered and said with an extremely unyielding attitude, “I don’t need this kind of treatment. Leave my house now and don’t harass my daughter in the future. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
William and Liam were frightened and did not dare to speak for a moment.
Layla sneered. “Alright, you won’t let her marry that boy, right? Then there’s no need for the Harper family to acknowledge this granddaughter.”
Jessica frowned and asked coldly, “What do you mean?”
Layla said smugly, “Isn’t it obvious enough? Since you don’t want this wretched girl to do as I say, I won’t let her return to this family. She can forget about being in the Harper family’s family tree for the rest of her life.
“Her adoptive parents probably don’t want her anymore. She’s a money–losing good–for–nothing who gets kicked out like a ball. Even if she dies in the future, she can only be a lonely ghost.”
These words were too much. Jessica’s eyes immediately turned red.
Peter wanted to curse, but he heard Audrey suddenly laugh.
He looked at Audrey in confusion, wondering, ‘What is my precious daughter doing? Could it be that she had gone crazy from anger?‘
When Audrey laughed, everyone’s eyes were on her.
Layla did not take Audrey seriously just now. She felt that a little girl was nothing to be afraid of.
However, at this moment, when Audrey’s faint smile and slightly mocking gaze swept past her, she subconsciously felt a little guilty and did not dare to look Audrey in the eye.
Audrey snorted and said expressionlessly, “The Harper family tree is not made of gold. What era is it now? Who will still be proud of a thin piece of paper?”
The corners of Audrey’s mouth curled up slightly as she continued in an indifferent tone, “Moreover, I’m already married. You should know bigamy is illegal.”
