"Young Master Wilson, what are you doing here?"
Ivan greeted the Wilson family’s young master the moment he noticed him.
"What did you say earlier, Young Master Wilson? Fifty million? You're willing to offer a fifty million bucks lottery reward?"
Overwhelmed with emotions, Fiona's eyes lit up. "Is your word good?" she sputtered.
One should know that the Wilsons and the Clarks were both second-class aristocratic families. Simply put, they were significantly wealthier than their Taylor family.
"Of course, Auntie. Do we look like people who'd go back on their word? I’m still a member of the Wilson family, my word is still good!" 2
Young Master Wilson chuckled as he spoke, yet he was simultaneously admiring the seemingly perfect appearance of Selena. He could not hold himself back as he gulped.
Young Master Wilson was extremely fat; so much so that he resembled a pig. Not only was he extremely gluttonous, but he was very interested in women as well.
He was instantly charmed back when he first laid eyes on Selena and her ethereal beauty. When he learned of her marriage to a takeout delivery guy in addition to being pregnant at a later time, he was all too furious.
Even so, Selena's beauty did not fade even after she gave birth; she looked even more beautiful and mature. Her body was practically glowing with femininity. He would do everything to keep her all to himself.
Moreover, Selena was known as the most beautiful maiden in the Middle Province. Marrying her would b e an incredible and proud feat in front of other men.
"Splendid. I'll hold you to your word!"
Fiona clapped her hands—chuckling altogether—as she approached Selena. "Did you hear that, Selena?" she spoke. "That person, Fane, mentioned ten million. This Young Master Wilson fellow instead offered to pay fifty million bucks, and he had always been interested in you. He’s not too bad himself, the way I see it. You should give it some thought. All you need t o do is nod and we'll make that brat, Fane, leave immediately!"
The instant Selena heard that statement, she nearly passed out from agitation. She could barely hold her composure just by looking at Young Master Wilson's appearance. Although that Young Master Clark fellow was not a pleasant man, he was handsome at least. That man from the Wilson family looked fat and his ears were too huge. She felt greasy just by staring at
him. 2
She then argued, "Ma, are you marrying off your daughter or selling her? So, you'll just hand off your daughter to whoever is offering the highest price?
Why don't you just auction me off then?" 2
Selena furiously added, "Even Grandpa agreed to let m e marry Fane, and the agreement was even set earlier. How can you simply act on your own and change it as you like?”
"Selena, that's not what I meant. That Fane fellow is a takeout delivery boy, and he’s only been a soldier for a few years now. You don’t expect him to amount to anything, do you now?"
As she finished, Fiona pointed her disdainful glare at Fane before she continued, "I wasn't looking down on him. I wonder: can he make thirty million bucks in a month? Hehe! Just you wait. He won't be able to make that much money after a month. Till then, I'll have him exiled from our family!"
"Fane Woods? Good lord, this person is Fane Woods? Kylie's useless father has returned?" 1
Stunned Young Master Wilson carefully scrutinized Fane. "Hehe. It seems like his appearance is the only thing that's going for him," he spoke. "He's dressed so plainly. How is he worthy of Miss Selena?"
"You sure spout a lot of nonsense!"
Fane glared at him icily. He condescendingly spoke," This is the Taylor family home. What are you, an
