Chapter 762

“My mom doesn’t mean it. Why are you hung up on this? Jessica, if I can be honest about the bride price, I think

your family is demanding a lot. I’m fine with giving your family over seven hundred thousand dollars if they pay for

the wedding and offer other gifts of the same value.

“Heck, I’ll be happy if they offer half the value, but your parents said they’ll only be gifting a few sets of bedding

and an e–bike. The gifts are only less than ten thousand dollars put together.

“I overheard your parents the day they came to meet mine that the bride price would be split between your two

brothers for their home renovations and new cars. Your parents are keeping sixty thousand dollars while only six

thousand dollars is left for you and the wedding.”

Hank admitted that he went through the roof when he eavesdropped on how Jessica’s parents planned to spend the

money.

He owned a fortune of around two million dollars. Since more than a million dollars went to Liberty, Hank had less

than a million dollars left. However, he went back to becoming a millionaire after collecting the recent kickback and

cash reward he hinted at the material supplier.

Nevertheless, the money would not last with the Yateses‘ exorbitant demand.

Jessica believed that her parents went too far too.

The monetary gift should be given to her instead.

She could not believe that her parents intended to give the money to her brothers to renovate the house and

purchase autos when Jessica only got a few beddings and an e–bike. It was hurtful.

Jessica’s parents, brothers, and sisters–in–law usually doted on her.

Now that she was about to walk down the aisle, the true colors of her parents were showing.

Her parents talked about her being the favorite in the family, but all they were trying to do was to use her to

improve her brothers‘ standard of living.

Still, Jessica took her parents‘ side after Hank made his grievance known.

“My parents raised me and paid for my college. It was not easy for them, and they spent a lot of money on me. The

monetary gift is only to thank them for raising me.

well. Since the money is for my parents, they can do whatever they want to do with it. Besides, it’s our custom that

the amount of bride price represents the love the

groom

has for the bride. It shows how far the groom is willing to go for the bride.”

Hank told her off, “I make money to give you instead of your brothers a better life. Think about it. We won’t be able

to indulge in the life we’re accustomed to if I meet your parents‘ demands.

“What if your parents continue to ask us for money after the wedding? The money will be gone once your brothers

renovate the house and buy a new car. They might look for excuses to get cash out of us.

“They might be captivated by the city bustle after coming here once. They could end up asking us to contribute to

their rental and house purchase here.”

Sure, Hank had a soft spot for Jessica and would spoil her. He was willing to give her his everything, but he had not

lost his head.

Mr. and Mrs. Yates wanted to give Jessica’s brothers the best life through Jessica.

“My family wasn’t well–off. My brothers joined the workforce at a young age to pay for my college tuition fees. They

had it hard and have done so much for me. I should at least repay them.

“We’re on a high income. We can afford it without lowering our standard of living even if we have to pay for their

rental here.”

Hank remarked, “Don’t you think our boss finds us eyesores lately? I don’t think we’ll be working there for long.”

They might not enjoy the salary they had right now when they leave Waltham Electronics.

“I’ll go home and have a good talk with my mom so that she stops going to Liberty’s and talking about us. Mom is

making a fool out of us. You should discuss with your parents to lower the asking bride price. I can do about a

hundred thousand bucks. It’ll give us enough money to cover our renovations. I think it’s a win–win situation.”
