"Three years ago, when the new house from Bard Property was about to be handed over, our whole family was thrilled." Arthur recalled the mix of joy and sorrow from that year, still halinted by it, his expression darkening. "We worked hard to save up 100 thousand dollars to move into the new house as soon as possible, just waiting for the renovations.

"At that moment, Linda's father was in the late stages of kidney failure, and only a transplant could save him. Luckily, there was a suitable kidney available, costing around 60 thousand dollars. The Russell family couldn't afford that amount, and Linda's father, Gibson Russell, was desperate for the surgery. They couldn't wait, so they came up with the idea of having Linda marry Jaden right away, asking our family for the 60 thousand dollars.

"Jaden was only 25 and not in a hurry to get married, but with Landa in trouble, he felt he had to help."

"Then Bard Property suddenly notified us that the owner had filed abroad with a huge sum of money, and no one knew when the house would actually be handed over."

"Our family thought that since we wouldn't need that money now, we might as well use it for Jaden's wedding.

"Little did vee know that just after we transferred the money to Linda, the Russell family demanded another 40 thousand dollars for Linda's brother's wedding, insisting we increase the price by that amount or the marriage wouldn't happen." Even someone as calm and composed as Athena clenched her fists at this point, wishing she could teach the Russell family a lesson.

Jaden refused to accept this condition, and

At that time, neither the Russell family and our family stayed silent," Arthur sald through gritted teeth. "I don't even know what to say about Linda. She stuck to Jaden and can't be shaken off.

nor the Donovan family was willing to budge.

Linda panicked and knelt before the Donovan family, crying, "I truly love Jaden. Without him, I won't be happy.

"Please, as long as you agree to my family's demands, I promise to have children with Jaden, help him with farming, and save money to repay the 40 thousand dollars with interest. I won't let you suffer a loss."

To prove her sincerity, she even wrote a 40-thousand-dollar 10U, signing it with her thumbprint Her pleas moved the
