Son-in-law From Rags to Riches

Chapter 23 A Bet 

Everyone was surprised at her words. 

Giselle frowned and asked, “Who is Reuben?” 

Heidy finally got the chance to hold her head up high again. She replied with a proud expression, “He is Reuben Morton. His family owns the Morton Group. He came to propose to Pamela with gifts yesterday.” 

All those present were dumbfounded. 

The Morton Group was worth nearly 160 million dollars. It was much richer than the Millard family. 

They couldn’t help feeling suspicious of Heidy’s words. 

Lamont curled his lips and said, “Don’t be ridiculous. Reuben is prominent and wealthy. It’s impossible that he would propose to Pamela. Well, don’t get me wrong. Pamela is a good woman, but she is married.” 

Giselle said, “That’s right. By the way, you mentioned gifts, right? Where are the gifts?” 

“Well…” 

All of a sudden, Heidy recalled that all the gifts sent by Reuben had been destroyed by Joshua. She didn’t know how to reply for a while. 

She regretted not taking a photo of the gifts. 

Since Heidy remained silent, the others confirmed that she lied. 

Mary scolded in a deep voice, “What are you doing? Shut up!” 

MANN 

Heidy was so scared that she shrank back. 

She felt extremely wronged. She wondered, I didn’t lie at all. Why don’t they believe me? 

It’s all Joshua’s fault. 

She felt upset and muttered, “Believe it or not, the necklace isn’t worth 300 thousand dollars. I have seen it before. It only costs 160 thousand dollars.” 

A hint of panic flashed across Kermit’s eyes. In his hurry, he explained to Giselle, 

“Giselle, she is talking nonsense. I asked a friend to help me buy the diamond necklace from abroad. I didn’t lie to you.”
