Lillian continued her fierce interrogation, “You were the one who received the betrothal gifts and counted. them. How much was the betrothal money, and how many pieces of jewelry were there?”

Patricia replied, “There was a chest of silver, labeled as ten thousand taels. In the gift box, there were also banknotes totaling twenty–eight thousand taels, making the betrothal money thirty–eight thousand taels in total. “As for the jewelry, it was all placed in the gift box–two complete sets of head ornaments, along with jade bracelets, hairpins, and other pieces, totaling thirty–eight items.”

The crowd gasped upon hearing this. Over thirty–eight thousand taels in betrothal money, two complete sets of head ornaments, and thirty–eight pieces of jewelry–this was indeed a substantial amount,

Lillian sneered, “Since you admit it, that’s good. After you counted the gifts, didn’t you complain that the betrothal money was too little and demand that my niece–in–law send over an additional eighty thousand taels?”

Patricia angrily retorted, “That’s nonsense!”

“You deny it?” Lillian bared her teeth, her earlier resentment resurfacing. “You deny it now, but today when you demanded the money, weren’t you very confident? You said Isolde is a noblewoman of high status and that she wouldn’t marry for less than a hundred thousand taels in betrothal gifts. “Not only did you demand more money, but you also insisted that Margaret transfer three of the Valen family’s shops to Isolde. When Margaret hesitated, you assumed she was refusing and criticized the betrothal gifts as inadequate. “You even ordered us to be thrown out! Mrs. Sharp, God is watching you. Even if you deny it, the gods have heard your words and deeds today. How dare you bring people here to cause trouble? I’m merely recounting the events in front of everyone, and your family’s matriarch ordered me to be thrown out. Such arrogance will surely bring retribution!”

Lillian’s words were sharp and venomous, each syllable dripping with indignation, making it hard for anyone not to believe her.

Patricia was trembling with rage. She had never imagined their ability to twist the truth could be so formidable.

She was so angry that her vision blurred, and her throat burned, yet she couldn’t utter a word in her defense.

The people present were also puzzled. Why does the story keep changing?

Ashley, sitting nearby, couldn’t help but secretly admire Margaret’s strategy.

Lillian’s furious demeanor and her seamless delivery made it seem as though Pablo, if he didn’t fully trust. Natasha, might believe her words.

Ashley didn’t care who won or lost; she simply found this drama incredibly entertaining. The sudden twists and turns made her eagerly anticipate Natasha’s counterattack.

Natasha slowly twirled her cane and smiled faintly at Lillian, “You’re saying that my daughter–in–law demanded an additional eighty thousand taels and three shops, and when you hesitated, she criticized the betrothal gifts as insufficient and ultimately had you thrown out. Is that correct?”

“We weren’t unwilling; we were just considering it. But she assumed we were refusing and ordered us to be thrown out!” Lillian said coldly.
