Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 690

Bella understood immediately. Was Sebastian implying that she didn't have a dowry as large as Lillian's?

Bella grew frantic. "Sebastian…"

The way she said his name was tinged with a mix of grievance and anger.

Sebastian continued, "Let's not even talk about the shares and properties from the Mercer family, or the shares and properties from my parents.

"The one-billion-dollar engagement gift my parents gave her—Lillian didn't spend a single cent of it before the divorce.

"The jewelry they gave her, you saw it just now, she returned that too.

"As for the dowry she brought from the Mercer family, just looking at the antiques, I may not be an expert, but I can make a rough estimate. They’re worth seven or eight hundred million dollars.

"The other items are worth at least another hundred million.

"Then there’s the portion that Mr. Mercer and Brandon have now taken back, which is valued at another one or two hundred million, and that's not even counting appreciation.

"On top of all that, there are the jewelry sets Lillian took with her, and the imperial jade signet ring she took back from me…

"I don't know how much that ring is worth, but since it's a Lancaster family heirloom, its value can't be insignificant.

"So, Lillian's dowry was worth billions of dollars.

"Are you telling me you want to follow that precedent?"

Instantly, Sebastian's words left Bella speechless.

Billions of dollars for a dowry?

Where was she supposed to get that kind of money?

So far, her only dowry was a large, high-rise condo, and its value was only in the tens of millions. And even that condo was currently mortgaged to loan sharks.

Besides, even if the men of the Mercer family supported her marriage, the most they could offer for a dowry would be ten million, and that was pushing it.
