Chapter 4, The Dowry is Essential

When Evelyn left her suitcase at the guard room of Lake Villa and rushed home, she saw James coming with a basket of fruit.

James' face at this moment was actually somewhat flattering, completely different from before.

She just felt that this person was a little weird, or maybe there was something wrong with his brain circuit.

In fact, it was only after they left that James found out from the introducer that Evelyn was a top student and received a scholarship every year.

What the Miller Family values is Evelyn 's genes.

" Evelyn , I'm sorry, I misunderstood you this afternoon. Actually, our family ... "

"I'm married." Evelyn interrupted him impatiently.

"What?"

Grace heard the noise at the door and hurried out. When she saw James , she immediately and warmly invited him in.

" James , you're here? Come in, oh, you brought a fruit basket, aren't you too polite?"

No matter what monsters James' family is, they are willing to take a dowry of 500,000 dollar. Money is hard currency.

She doesn't care about the other person's appearance or education, as long as he is rich and can give a dowry of 500,000, that's enough!

Unexpectedly, James ' face turned cold in an instant, he hid the fruit basket in his hand behind his back, and his attitude was completely different from before.

"Come in and sit down? Sorry, your crappy sofa can't accommodate my butt."

"Also, this marriage is over! Evelyn is not worthy of entering the Miller Family . If a woman like her can marry a man better than me, I lose."

"Never again!"

After saying this, James picked up the fruit basket and turned away angrily.

His mother asked him to come to the Bennett Family to revisit the marriage, which was a waste of his time.

Grace was confused by James ' actions.

What's going on?

this man learn how to change his face?

Wasn't he very nice when he called before he came?

Did he bring a piece of fruit just to scold Evelyn again ?

"Is this the wealthy and well-educated second-generation you mentioned?"

Harry walked over, looked at James ' back, and asked his wife with a frown.

Grace , ?? ?? ?? She had no idea that James would behave so badly.

" Evelyn , you should never pay attention to a man like this, and don't take his words to heart."

Harry hurried to comfort his sister, but found that Evelyn didn't take it seriously at all.

"Brother, I told my sister-in-law at noon that I'm already married, so you don't have to worry about my marriage anymore."

"You're really married?!"

Harry was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.

" Evelyn , I know you don't like James, the man I found for you , but there's no need to use marriage as a pretext, right?"

The couple surrounded Evelyn and questioned her.

Evelyn didn't want to talk to them any more, so she just took out the marriage certificate and placed it in front of them.

Solid evidence!

The couple was completely dumbfounded!

James who just left .

"This guy looks cool and aloof."

"Could it be a professional marriage scam?"

Evelyn knew her brother was really worried about her, so she lied to comfort him.

"Brother, don't worry. He is actually my classmate's cousin and works as a white-collar worker in a company. I originally planned to wait until I graduated from college before making our relationship public, but this time ... we're going to get married sooner or later anyway."

"Oh, I was wondering, how can you get married the first time you meet?"

Harry suddenly realized that it was no wonder that his sister was so unwilling to go on a blind date with James . It turned out that she already had a lover.

"Brother, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept it a secret from you."

"Actually, I had always planned to focus on my studies first, so I chose to hide it. I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so anxious about my marriage. I thought it was only a matter of time, so why not marry Nathan first."

Evelyn said this, but Harry was still very worried.

How could there be anything that I don't know about my own sister?

If she really had a boyfriend, how could she not let anyone know about it? And she also agreed to go on a blind date with Grace in the morning ?

However, the sister must have her own reasons for saying this, so as her brother, he would not expose her.

" Evelyn , what is his occupation? Since you are married to him, shouldn't you bring him back to us?"

Harry still wanted to know what kind of person his brother-in-law was.

"Brother, he works at Blake Family , with a monthly salary of 30,000. He is a programmer, an IT guy. He is very busy at work and always has to work overtime, so he has no time to come back with me."

Grace's face changed instantly when she heard the salary was 30,000, "Does he have a house?"

"Sister-in-law, he said he has mortgaged a house, and the monthly payment is 12,000 dollar. I will move in with him."

"With a monthly salary of 30,000, the monthly mortgage payment is 12,000. Does he also have a car?"

Evelyn nodded, "Yes, he also has a car."

"With a house and a car to pay for, how can he save money every month?"

Grace snorted coldly, " James can give you 500,000 dollar as a gift when he marries you. You can't marry Nathan without giving him a penny as a gift, right?"

Harry spoke carefully, "The gift of marriage is just to bring good luck, it's a token of appreciation."

After saying that, he secretly winked at Evelyn , asking her not to conflict with Grace .

Evelyn pursed her lips and said, "Sister-in-law, I did not tell Nathan about the betrothal gift , because you did not mention the betrothal gift when you asked me to go on a blind date this morning."

"I didn't tell you this in the morning, and I didn't tell you this at noon. But now I'm telling you again. Do you understand now?"

Evelyn , ?? ?? Got it.??

"It's OK that you know. You two got the marriage certificate today, but you haven't held the wedding yet. You don't have to rush to move in. Wait for him to send the betrothal gifts, and then you and him can hold the wedding. Only then can you be considered to be married."

She arranged for Evelyn to go on a blind date and get married, not just to kick Evelyn out and stop her from living off her parents, but also to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in dowry to help her younger brother get married.

Her younger brother is thirty years old, at the age of thirty, and still doesn't have a girlfriend. Her parents are very worried.

"I've already moved there."

Evelyn thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll go back and talk to Nathan and ask him to give the family a betrothal gift of 200,000..."

"Two hundred thousand? It's so little. If you tell others about it, won't people laugh at you?"

Grace immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.

" Evelyn , why don't you go ask around in the community? Isla White , Cameron 's sister in Building 7 , was in the same class with you in elementary school. She's not as pretty as you, and not as educated as you. But she asked for a dowry of 300,000 dollar when she got married last year. You can't even compare to her?"

Evelyn 's face immediately turned cold, "Sister-in-law, we are human beings, not objects. You can't compare us like this."

She is not a commodity, so why can she sell for a higher price than anyone else?

"I don't care, at least 400,000. Otherwise, you can change the marriage certificate into a divorce certificate, and I will help you find someone who can afford the bride price to marry."

"I can't even afford the betrothal gift. How can you expect a good life if you marry into the family?"

Evelyn knew very well that her sister-in-law had the final say in this family. In order to prevent her brother from being embarrassed in this family, she could only grit her teeth and bear it.

"Okay, then I'll tell Nathan to give me $200,000 before the end of the year, and another $200,000 by this time next year. Is that okay with you?"
