NovelEnglishChapter 16 Lucy had indeed never thought about it before, but she did not care about Matthew's background.
If he could afford to live in this house, he must not be a gambling addict or a thug.
As for whether he was a freeloader, she had yet to find out.

Her lack of response made Melanie so angry she yelled, "Lucy, you'd better cback right now and bring that man with you. If you don't cback, you'll be sorry!" Lucy frowned at Melanie's threat and let out a sigh.
She knew that it was just an empty threat, but whenever her family pulled such tricks, they would succeed in frightening her.
After hanging up, Lucy leaned on the sofa tiredly. She did not even notice Matthew cin.
"What's wrong?" Lucy was alerted by the deep voice ringing in her ears. She turned to look at the handsman staring at her with a hand in his pocket.
Lucy forced a miserable smile. "You have to cwithto my house. My mother will probably want to interrogate you. I hope you won't get too mad about it." Matthew gave her a small smile. "What will happen if I get mad?" She urged him, "Go change. There's no need to drive an expensive car." +35 BONUS She was worried that her mother would ask Matthew for an unjust amount of money if they went over in an expensive car.
Lucy would be too embarrassed to face Matthew if her mother did that.
Soon after, she brought Matthew to her home. As soon as they walked in, Melanie started cursing at her.

"Hello, Mrs. Quinn," Matthew greeted the woman coldly even though. he was addressing his mother-in-law.
Melanie glared at the man in front of her and questioned, "Who are you? Why did you kidnap my daughter? Look at you pretending to be something you're not. I bet you rented those clothes." Glancing outside, she gave a snort. "I bet your car is rented too. How dare a freeloader like you marry my daughter? You must be in it for the money. I'll give you ten grand, so leave my daughter right now!" Melanie grabbed the wad of cash next to her and threw it at Matthew.
The man's gaze grew more intense as he stared at Melanie. He jeeringly took out a check for a hundred thousand dollars and threw it at her face, saying, "Is a hundred thousand dollars enough to marry your daughter?" "How dare you marry my daughter with a hundred thousand dollars? In your dreams!" Melanie glowered at Matthew and scoffed.
"Do you think you can get away with marrying my daughter just +25 BONUS because of your handsface? I bet I can't even cash this check of yours!" Melanie despised Matthew. Even if he was good-looking, so what? It was not like he could charm his way through life!
Lucy should marry the son of a rich family. Even if he was not filthy rich, the man's family should at least be on par with the Quinns!
Looking at her mother's contorted features, Lucy said, "Mom, he can afford a hundred thousand dollars. Just take it to the bank. We're already married anyway. Even if you're against it, that's your problem to deal with."
"You... You're shameless! How did you get married when youdocuments are here with me?" Melanie was fuming. х
