After Leann finished her speech, she hurried into the crowd and called out to Steve, “Come on! Follow me to meet your future father-inw. I swear, if you mess this up, neither your father nor I will ever forgive you!”


    Steve was furious. “I’ve made it clear that I’m cutting all ties with you. What future father-inw are you talking about?!”


    Isabe, feeling a tight knot in her chest, looked at Steve and asked, “Steve, what’s going on?”


    In a fit of anger, Steve eximed, “My parents have lost their minds because of greed! They are desperate for me to marry the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and they’re trying to force me into this union. There’s even a rumor that she’s pregnant with a mixed-race man’s child, and they want her to give birth!”


    After he spoke, everyone—including Isabe, ire, and Charlie—was left speechless. The rest of the Carson family was equally shocked by this revtion!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie finally grasped the situation. These parents were willing to sell their son off just to secure a marriage for money. Wasn’t Steve their own flesh and blood? How could they do this to him?!


    Leann couldn’t hold back any longer. She shouted, “Steve! This isn’t the time to be naive! The dowry is fifty million dors!”


    The Carson family gasped at the shocking amount. Fifty million dors?! They couldn’t believe that someone would pay such an outrageous sum just to marry into their family.


    Gary Carson, Steve’s cousin, interjected, “Second Aunt, if Steve isn’t interested, let me take care of this! For fifty million dors, I wouldn’t even care if she’s carrying a mixed-race child or even an alien’s!”


    Leann raised an eyebrow. “Stop dreaming! This has nothing to do with you. They want my son, Steve!”


    She then turned to Steve and scolded him sharply, “Did you see that? Everyone else would jump at this chance, but you… you refuse it. Your father and I have worked hard all our lives. How could we have produced such a foolish son?!”


    Steve replied coolly, “If Cousin Gary is so eager, he can go ahead. I am definitely not participating!”


    Leann snapped, directing her ire at Isabe, “Ms. Stark! If you’re willing to leave my son, I’ll give you five million dors!”


    Isabe, who had been standing quietly, simply shook her head. “Steve and I truly love each other. Even if you offered me fifty million or a billion dors, I would never leave him!”


    Gary quickly responded, “Second Aunt, if Steve is so certain, why not pass this opportunity to me? You can introduce me to her since I’m also part of the Carson family. It would still benefit our family. How about this—I’ll give you five million dors if you introduce us!”


    “Get lost!” Leann had always looked down on Gary and his family. Despite sharing the same bloodline, their statuses were worlds apart.


    As she looked at Gary’s greedy expression, a deep-seated resentment red within her.


    In her view, even if her son couldn’t marry into the Ward family, there was no way she would ever consider Gary as a candidate.


    She refused to give him a chance to elevate his status at her expense.


    Gary was taken aback by her harsh response. “Second Aunt, what’s the meaning of this? We’re family!”


    “Get lost! I don’t consider you family!”


    Gary felt insulted and thought to himself, how could she berate him in front of so many people? Had he unintentionally offended her?


    After a moment of reflection, Gary shouted, “Second Aunt, you’ve gone too far!”


    At that moment, Grant Ward, hearing themotion, stepped into the crowd. He asked, “Is everything alright? What’s going on here?”<fn86f4> Updates are released by Find★Novel</fn86f4>


    Leann panicked and quickly replied, “Mr. Ward, I apologize for this scene. My son is just having a tantrum, but don’t worry—I’ll definitely convince him!”
