Lilian waved her hands. "If he dares to disagree, his father and I will cut all ties with him! This is not the time for 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 i n 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, "Come with m e, I have something to tell you." i
She then proceeded to look at her husband and shout a t the top of her lungs, "Old man Turk Scotson! Come here!"
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 see me unhappy?" 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 t o 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 come for your father and I. Do you really want your parents to die of frustration? Or do you want to cause us devastation?" 7
