"If you aren't here to bury your father, what are you here for?" asked Ben.
"You impregnated my sister, what do you think I'm here for? Don't think that just because Elliot isn't here, you can do whatever you want with our sister! You have to marry her!" said Peter, exasperated.
Lilith did not understand what her brother was saying.
"| understand, if it's money you want, just name the price, | can give you money. As for marriage, your sister doesn't want to marry me, and neither do | want to marry your sister,” said Ben.
Peter was outraged when he heard this," Lillith, are you mad? Do you not know how rich he is? If you are pregnant with his kid, why are you not marrying him? You can't find anybody that is richer than he is." "Just tell him how much money you want," replied Lilith.

Ben turned around and saw how embarrassed Lillith was, his heart instantly went soft, he said to Lilith," Lillith, get a taxi home." Lilith turned and left the airport.
Ben on the other hand, took Peter to the restaurant and had lunch.
Once they were seated at the table, Peter inmediately said, "You have to marry my sister! If not she'll get an abortion." Ben could feel his temper rising, "Peter, calm down." "I know that you aren't married, you don't have any secret kids, that's why the baby in my sister's belly is your first and considering your age, probably your last kid. Are you sure you want to just let your child die?" asked Peter.
Ben could not say anything.
"You have two choices, either you hold the wedding now, or after my sister gives birth to the child," said Peter.
"After giving birth," said Ben, without a moment of hesitation.
Abortion was never an option for Ben. He knows that his parents could not take it if the kid was lost. He could see how happy his parents were when they know that Lillith was pregnant with his kid. It's been a long time since he saw his parents this happy.
With them getting older, Ben would do anything to make sure that they are happy.
Peter, after seeing that Ben is convinced, lets out a sigh of relief. "How much dowry are you planning on giving Lillith?" "How much do you want? Don't think that just because I'm rich, you would be able to ask for a preposterous amount. You are a man, don't use your sister as a tool for your own gain,” said Ben.
"Who do you think | am? I'm not dumb, just give the normal amount. Let's say if you were to marry Chelsea Tierney, how much dowry would you give? Just give the same amount,” said Peter.
"What the fu..." exclaimed Ben.

As long as it is the same as how much you would pay the Tierney family if you marry Chelsea Tierney, it's fine," said Peter.
As the day passed, the day of Ruby's birthday finally arrived.
A gigantic yacht was berthed at the dock.
Al of the friends and relatives of the Goulds came to celebrate Ruby's birthday.
Ruby had a majestic white gown on and she seemed so perfect like a doll that walked out of a painting.
Elliot on the contrary had his black suit on, and he stood silently by Ruby's side, welcoming each of the guests.
It wasn't long before, both of them saw a red silhouette appear on the horizon.
It was of course, no other than Avery, clad in a bright red sexy dress, exposing much of her milky white skin, with her hair tied up, she exudes the elegance of a lady and her exquisite appearance only further accentuates her beauty.
The said beauty had a present in her hand as she slowly sauntered over to the yacht.
