Chapter 674
Ruby was retouching her makeup, and she didn’t even spare Ryder a glance.
Before the three of them even sat down, Roderick interrupted Margot by
saying, “Let’s cut to the chase. I only have one demand, which is a dowry of
70,000. As long as you have the money, you can take my daughter away.”
“What?! 70,000?” Ryder was dumbfounded upon hearing that.
He took a look at Ruby, who was as good–looking as Abellyn with makeup on.
However, he only gave Abellyn 14,000 at that time, and she had never been
married. What made Ruby’s parents think they could demand 70,000?
Roselynn found it laughable. They should take a good look at their daughter
before they demand such an exorbitant bride price. Are they out of their
mind?
“What’s wrong? Can’t you afford it?” Belinda was an even better talker than
Margot. She praised her daughter by saying, “Ruby is five–foot–three,
well–mannered, beautiful, and talented. Countless men are lining up to marry
her. On the other hand, you’re so ugly. You’re lucky enough since we’re willing
to let you marry her for 70,000.”
Upon hearing that, Ryder wouldn’t dare to refute her, for Ruby was indeed out
of his league.
“Well… let’s talk about the dowry later. Why don’t we let the two of them have
a chat first?” Alessandra said through clenched teeth. She had taken Ryder to
be her godson. If he was fond of Ruby, she was willing to get enough money
to pay regardless of what it took.
All of a sudden, Ruby lifted her gaze. The moment she caught sight of Ryder,
she furrowed her brows, which made some of the powder fall off her
forehead.
How does this ugly man have the nerve to go on a blind date with me?
When she saw Alessandra and Roselynn, she was astounded. “Oh, it’s you
two!”
Roselynn sneered. “Well, it’s us. Since we’re not exactly strangers, let’s stop
beating around the bush. Your cousin Milani only demanded 70,000 back
