Arthur wasted no time. By the next day, he had already brought the clan elders and his parents along. skipping all unnecessary formalities. After all, even though this was merely taking in a concubine, the public had long acknowledged it. Going through elaborate ceremonies at this point would only invite suspicion.

The main purpose of this visit was to settle the dowry and bride price.

Pablo chose not to intervene, leaving everything in Margaret’s hands. In fact, he wasn’t even at home.

Arthur arrived today with Agnes–after all, the bride price couldn’t be too low. It was a matter of face, especially with the clan elders watching.

However, Arthur couldn’t bring himself to broach the subject, so he left it to Agnes to negotiate with Margaret.

Thus, upon her arrival, Agnes first went to her mother’s chambers.

Margaret barely acknowledged her presence.

Agnes began with an apology, swearing that she would never interfere in family matters again unless commanded.

Margaret, though still simmering with anger, eventually relented—it was her daughter, after all.

“Arthur’s request isn’t much. Just 30 million. And whatever comes as part of the dowry, they won’t take a single coin of it,” Agnes quickly got to the point, seizing the moment while her mother’s mood had softened.

“The money comes from the clan’s shared treasury, but once the dowry is given, it belongs to her. And tell me, where does she find the audacity to demand 30 million?” Margaret said coldly.

“Mother, it’s really not too much. Give it a few years, and once she gives you a few fat grandsons, everything will be worth it,” Agnes coaxed, growing anxious as she saw her mother’s reluctance.

She knew full well that 30 million was excessive. Cristina was, after all, just a concubine. Asking for such a bride price was unheard of, especially since she had already been taken in and was no longer untouched. Typically, the price would be beaten down as low as possible.

But ever since that last incident, Arthur had been cold toward her, and now, with Madilyn scheming to bring in another concubine, she had to do something–otherwise, the Felton family would abandon her completely.

“Tell him, 10 million. Take it or leave it. Otherwise, he can take her and go,” Margaret declared resolutely.
