Lilian waved her hands. "If he dares to disagree, his father and I will cut all ties with him! This is not the tfor him to object!" i After saying those words, Lilian paced toward Draco and Magnolia. With a cold and somber voice, she spoke, "Draco, I will only say this. If Magnolia cannot fork out thirty million dollars worth of dowry, I have n o mood to even entertain the idea of marriage!" s "Thirty million dollars?!" Draco and Magnolia shouted in shock! Draco couldn't hold in his anger, and he blurted," Mother, are you that poor till you've lost your mind? You just mentioned ten million, and in the blink of an eye, you've changed it to thirty million. Where in the world is Magnolia's family going to get that crazy amount of money?! Even our family can't fork out that much!" 1 Lilian grabbed Draco's sleeve and spoke, "Cwith me, I have something to tell you." i She then proceeded to look at her husband and shout at the top of her lungs, "Old man Turk Scotson! Chere!" Mr. Scotson quickly made his way toward his wife. The family of three stood in a corner where no one was around and began talking. Draco, who was fuming, began questioning, "Mother, what in the world are you doing? Do you truly want to seeunhappy?" s Lilian snapped back, "How dare you speak to your mom like that?! I was the one who raised you, how could I not want the best for you? I'm just worried that you are being too irrational and might be too blinded to see that this Magnolia girl is not the right one for you!" 8 "That girl, Magnolia. You know what her family background is like, right? You want to marry her? In the future, her parents and siblings will be sucking your finances dry! Soon after that, they will cfor your father and I. Do you really want your parents to die of frustration? Or do you want to cause us devastation?" 7 Draco replied confidently, "Mother, don't you worry. I promise, once I marry Magnolia, we will live on our own. I will not burden you or our family with any of our problems. I won't even ask for money from you." 5 Lilian gritted her teeth. "Don't giveall these unnecessary promises! Your father and I have always been supporting you financially. Since you were a little boy, we've made sure that you had all the money you needed. You've never experienced financial issues, therefore, you will never understand how dreadful it is. The two of you want to rely on each other? Sooner or later, you will starve to death!" 1 Lilian then proceeded to wave her hand and speak arrogantly, "You, father and son, listen to me, and you'd better listen well! Right now, there is a golden opportunity to increase our wealth a few folds! So, you two had better not disappoint me!" 7 Both father and son were surprised to hear such an announcement. They then questioned, "What golden opportunity?" In that instant, Lilian blurted out her plan to the both of them. 4 After listening to her story, Turk awkwardly asked, "Lilian... Did you just sell your son like an object? What if that foreigner's child is born? Where are we supposed to put our dignity?" 5 Lilian argued, "Turk Scotson! You've worked hard all your life and you can barely make thirty to forty million dollars. As long as all of you are fine with this arrangement, our family will get fifty million dollars i n cash instantly. Did you hearclearly? CASH?!" 1

Turk's expression changed. He seemed to be struggling to om comprehend the situation at hand.

e

Yes, selling their son was indeed an embarrassing thing, but fifty million dollars. The trade didn't seem to be that bad of deal. 6

Lilian took advantage of his dilemma and continued," Turk, you'd better not forget. The other family has already agreed. Once our families are joined via this marriage, the flour industry will be ours! Our family's flour factory will be making incredible profits! We might even make millions of dollars per year! Who knows, we might even hit tens of millions! Just imagine, one year later, your assets will be in the billions!" X
