Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 5 Annallse’s Expensive Betrothal Gift

When they heard that, everyone was stunned.

Kent’s voice quivered involuntarily as he stammered, “Y-You’re the eldest son of the Parks family?”

“Isn’t their eldest son already fifty-two? And isn’t he paralyzed and in a wheelchair?” he wondered at the same time.

As he thought about this, he exchanged glances with Bethany, who was also dumbfounded.

Abigail was in utter disbelief as well.

She secretly scrutinized Julian and thought to herself, “Isn’t he such a perfect man? He has well-defined features, a tall stature, and a perfect figure. He also gives off an air of nobility. I can’t believe that he’s the eldest son of the Parks family and the man I’m married to! Which moron spread the fake news that the eldest son of the Parks family was a fifty-two-year-old disabled man? They’re just too ridiculous!”

When she thought about how young and handsome Julian was, Abigail was overjoyed.

She wished that she could marry him on the spot.

After Annalise found out that Julian was the supposed fifty-two-year-old eldest son of the Parks family, she suddenly came to a realization.

“Did he intentionally spread the rumor that he was fifty-two years old? When he said that he wanted me to help him fend off unwanted suitors, was he trying to fend off Abigail? This is indeed karma!” she exclaimed inwardly.

Bethany hurriedly tugged at Kent.

At that, Kent instantly revealed a warm smile. “Hello. Nice to meet you.”

He then turned to Samuel and said, “Old Mr. Parks, we’ve already decided on the marriage a long time ago. Now that you’ve personally come over today, why don’t we discuss a date for the wedding?”

When he heard this, Samuel chuckled. “Of course. We’re here for that precise reason, too. Besides that, since we’re here today, let’s also talk about the betrothal gifts. Julian intends on giving 300 million dollars to Ms. Barton as a betrothal gift. I was wondering if you have any thoughts on that. We will respect the opinions of the Barton family.”

Once she heard that there would be a betrothal gift of 300 million dollars, Abigail flushed with excitement. She grinned so widely that her eyes were almost in the shape of crescents, and she cast a shy and affectionate glance at Julian. Normally, men wouldn’t be able to stand such a charming glance from her.

However, Julian simply glared at her coldly.
