When Love Turns to Ashes

Chapter 353 Dowry

Chapter 353 Dowry

Menu

After Beatrice accepted Odin’s proposal, she thought that both sets of parents could just have a meal together and call it a day.

Odin, however, said that the ceremony was still necessary for her.

Beatrice couldn’t resist him and agreed to hold the engagement ceremony.

But it was only a small ceremony, and they didn’t invite the big shots in their cirde.

She was afraid of her own identity, which made it difficult for Odin.

Odin also agreed.

After making the decision, Beatrice remained calm for two days before telling Monica about the proposal.

The next day, Monica came to find her early in the morning.

As soon as she entered, Monica stared at her face, looking left and right, and said with some disdain, “Why is your skin a bit dry?”

Beatrice touched her cheek and said, “Maybe it’s the change of seasons.”

Monica handed a beauty card to her and said, ‘I have topped up the money for you, remember to go for regular maintenance.”

Beatrice looked down at the black card in her hand. This beauty salon was one of the best in Chicago.

The black card as a foundation had to reach one million.

“Mom, you…”

She hadn’t finished speaking when Monica pulled out a thin envelope from her bag.

“This was the dowry I prepared for you.”

“Dowry?”

Beatrice hesitated as she opened the envelope and pulled out a check.

The numbers above were…

“Three million!” Beatrice couldn’t even blink her eyes, and she counted the zeros again.

“Not only that,” Monica raised an eyebrow and smiled, then took out two property deeds from her bag, “These are also bought for you. If you don’t like them, you can sell them and choose again.”

Beatrice opened the document and was dumbfounded.

Beatrice held a check in one hand and a house deed in the other, feeling like she was in a dream. Her voice sounded somewhat unreal as she said, “Mom, did you…rob a bank?”

In her previous life, Ryan and Monica, although bearing the names of Mr. Ryan and Mrs. Monica Baldwin of the Baldwin family, were even worse off in terms of their living conditions and expenses than the relatives of the Baldwin family, all because of Xander’s deliberate troubles.

Recently, Beatrice heard that Ryan insisted on living outside with Monica, and many personal belongings were withheld by Xander, so naturally, she couldn’t get any profit.

In theory, their lives should have been much worse than before.
