Chapter 307 Twenty Million

Two hundred thousand was the most I could tolerate. Even though Michael was not short of money and would give more money if my mother let him take the initiative to propose the amount, I was adamant not to compromise because of my parents’ attitude. My pricelessness to Michael was irrelevant at that point as well.

“Two hundred thousand? That’s ridiculous! How can you dismiss your father and me with that amount of money when we have raised you for so many years? You’re such an ungrateful wretch!” My mother looked at me with rage as she spoke. If I were not pregnant, she would have hit me already.

Ungrateful wretch? Again? Despite not showing my genuine feeling outwardly, my heart could not help but feel sorrowful whenever my mother used that term to call me.

In her eyes, I was nothing but an ungrateful and heartless wretch. However, it was dumbfounding that they had overlooked my sacrifices for the family throughout the years.

“I don’t care what you say about me. My decision is final. Whether you want that betrothal gift of two hundred thousand doesn’t bother me as I will not compromise this time regardless. If worse comes to worst, I’ll stop myself from returning to this house ever again! No big deal!” Since my mother would not yield to a meek approach, I had to demonstrate my dominance over her to keep her in check in such circumstances.

“You’ve gone too far for saying such things to Mom, Anna. Are you going to break ties with us because you’re about to marry into a wealthy family? Do you think we’re an embarrassment to you? You must be afraid that we’ll ask for money from you in the future.” Steven limped toward me at that moment, staring at me smugly. The mature aura he emanated during my last visit was no more.

“You can think whatever you want about me!” I had long been accustomed to the scene where each of my family members singled me out. Hence, I glared back at Steven without hesitance while uttering those words before leaving.

Given that I had made my stance clear to them, there was no point in remaining there any longer.

Yes, they were my closest family, but they were also the people who hurt me ad nauseam. No ordinary person would treat what I had experienced like it was nothing. For that reason, there was a strong desire in me to never return to that house forever.

Soon after leaving my parents’ house, tears streamed down my cheeks uncontrollably once again.
