Chapter 255

Upon hearing Fabian’s words, Mia couldn’t help but find Bob and Mary’s actions utterly ridiculous.

In this modern era, the concept of being married off to an older man from the countryside with a bribe seemed absurd to her.

Did they truly think they could control her with such outdated methods?

Suddenly, Felix rushed out and forcefully pushed Fabian away. “What are you doing? If you cause any more trouble, I’ll call the police!”

Seated on the ground, Fabian insisted, “I offered Mia’s family a ten–thousand–dollar bribe, and consequently, we’re now engaged. That amount constitutes my yearly savings.

“Mia, you must come back home with me and bear me a son!”

Mia cast a cold gaze at Fabian. “Are you insane? I’ve cut all ties with my adoptive parents. Whatever they choose to do with the money has no bearing on me.”

“I don’t care. After all, Bob and Mary are still considered your family. Since they’ve accepted my bribe, you are essentially my wife now!”

Felix snorted. “What century are we in? Bribes? Mia never consented to any of this. You better leave, or we’ll involve the police.”

“Feel free to call the police. The bribe has already been paid. If I can’t reclaim my wife, then perhaps it’s better for me to end it all right here.”
