“Keep dreaming, Rufus!” Diane replied coldly as soon as she heard that.

Manuel’s complexion turned ugly in an instant, and he said to Diane, “Why would you say that, Diane? We are a second-tier family. You’ll be one step up the social hierarchy if you marry my son.

million is peanuts to us. My son spends several million monthly, sometimes even up to ten million. Is fifteen million a lot to you? Well, you only have yourself to blame. You’re the one who willingly asked me to raise the price!” He then paused briefly before continuing, “If you’re reluctant to fork out that money, you can always let us take Severin away with us. That’ll be problem solved! Honestly, if I had such a useless son-in-law like you, I’d just let him be taken away. Think about it, he wouldn’t have gone to jail if he was good for anything.
