Chapter 1194
Carolina followed her out just in time to see the boxes in the yard opened, her face instantly draining of color.
The servants, who had been watching from afar, were drawn to the scene. Seeing the cash and the jewels inside
the boxes, they couldn’t help but gasp, crowding around and craning their necks to look inside, whispering among
themselves.
“Holy crap, that’s a lot of dough! Are these wedding gifts for Ms. Chloe?”
“But didn’t someone just send wedding gifts not too long ago? Why are there more today…”
“Those weren’t acknowledged by Ms. Carolina, were they? She didn’t accept them!”
“Didn’t accept them? Why? It’s the new age, kids should be free to love and marry whoever they want. What does
it matter whether she acknowledges it or not?”
“That’s just an excuse! She is clearly trying to sell off Ms. Chloe!”
That’s bloody disgusting! She’s treated people like crap before, now she wants to sell her off for money? That’s too
much…”
“What are you doing? My God, you’re actually live streaming this… you got a death wish or something…”
“Shhh…”
Hearing the whispers, Carolina was shaking with rage.
“Who opened them?! Who opened these boxes?!”
She pointed at the boxes, yelling at the top of her lungs, her composed image completely shattered. The servants

“Whoever ends up as her kid is totally screwed!”
Chloe glared at her coldly. “Why are you so pissed? You’re the one receiving the gifts. You don’t want people to see
what they are?”
After a pause, Chloe smirked and said, “Since you’ve told me about our traditional customs, I have to ask you, after
receiving all these wedding gifts from others, how many will you give me?”
“You want me to give you gifts?!”
Carolina’s voice turned shrill, “Didn’t I give you gifts when Keira got married?!”
Hearing this, Chloe laughed coldly, “You have the audacity to count the money you used to buy my shares as my
wedding gift? Even though Rhys gave you two hundred million dollars as a wedding gift? According to our customs,
you should at least give me a gift of similar value, right?”
“In your dreams!” Carolina was furious, her words almost squeezed out between her teeth, “I raised you to this
age, and now you’re asking me for money?”
Chloe frowned, “Don’t use the fact that you raised me as leverage! The money the Summers family spent was not
their own. You used the money my mother earned to raise a mistress and her daughter! Carolina, I must say,
you’re even more shameless than before! I remember when Viviana said she wanted to return the wedding gifts
my future husband gave me, you agreed. Even if I agree to marry that man today, you’re not getting these gifts!”
Carolina was shaking with anger, “That was then! Things are different now! I have officially accepted the wedding
gifts. You must marry him! Even if you don’t want to, you must! As for the wedding gifts I’m supposed to give you,
what you’ve received so far is enough!”
The past was different from the present! And she claimed the gifts she received before were enough…
How shameless! It seemed that this time, she was determined to sever ties with Chloe over this money!
Upon hearing Carolina’s words, Jonah took a few deep breaths, lifting his cane and striking Carolina hard!
Carolina let out a scream. Chloe was taken aback as well. In her memory, her grandfather never hit women. Even
though Carolina had done many shameless things over the years, he never hit her!
Chloe never imagined that the two, who had lived together for so many years, now in their seventies, could resort
to physical violence.
He had never hit her in his life, but now…
Carolina came back to her senses from the pain, looking at Jonah in disbelief. “You actually hit me?!”
“I wish I could kill you!” Jonah was panting heavily, shouting before breaking into a fit of violent coughing. “You
shameless woman!… Do you understand the significance of the wedding gifts we give to her? It’s her family’s
respect for her, so she wouldn’t be looked down upon and bullied by her husband’s family! It’s the foundation of her
dignity in her husband’s house. You accepted that man’s wedding gifts, but didn’t give any to Chloe, what are you
thinking? Have you considered what kind of life Chloe will lead after she gets married?!”
“She will be the wife of a noble! What kind of life do you think that is?! She will live comfortably, a life of luxury, who
could possibly mistreat her?! If she’s worried about being looked down upon, doesn’t she have her own money?
Isn’t she capable? Can’t she give herself a wedding gift?!”
“You…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Everything she has belongs to the Summers family!” Carolina seemed to know what Jonah was about to say,
immediately interrupting him!
Everyone present was shocked by Carolina’s words. Was she so desperate for money that she had gone mad?!
Or did she believe that because she was in her own home, and knew the servants wouldn’t dare to spread what
happened, she could act so recklessly?
At this point, Rhys, who had been standing by the side, seemed to understand the farce unfolding before him. His
face darkened as he stepped forward and asked, “Mrs. Summers, what exactly is going on? Can the wedding
between Chloe and I still take place?”
“Yes! Of course!” Carolina answered without hesitation, “She is my granddaughter, and since I’ve accepted your
wedding gifts, she will definitely marry you!”
Rhys smiled satisfyingly and turned to Chloe, saying, “Chloe, you can chill, I’m totally into you, and I’m gonna be
even more into you in the future. I’ll give you the best things in this world. If you marry me, I swear I’ll make you
happy.”
Carolina had this excited grin on her face. She turned to Chloe, who, even when she was angry, didn’t have a hint
of aggression. Finally, she let out a sigh. “Chloe, look, Rhys has said all this, and he definitely won’t let you be
wronged! Becoming the wife of a noble in Y Country, a real high–class lady, isn’t that great? What’s there not to
like? He’s way better than those uncultured men or playboys, right? My previous words might have been a bit
harsh, but essentially, it’s because I know you’ll definitely be living the good life in the future, that’s why I said all
that! I’ve given it a lot of thought too.”
