Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Thought It Was a Huge Favor
After speaking, she spat on the ground.
Even though the Quinn family had saved some money from their business during that period, they were by no means a wealthy family, so this demand could be said to be very excessive.
"You little girl, how can you speak like that? Nora, I’m only giving you this chance because Christian can’t let you go, what do you mean by this? It’s true, those who can’t be presentable will always be like that, even their friends are like this." Mrs. Quinn snorted coldly.
Nora, fearing that Lily would be implicated because of her, reached out to calm her, indicating that she could handle it.
Seeing this, Lily sighed and remained silent.
Fine, it’s Nora’s issue to resolve herself. If she gets bullied, I definitely won’t let this old woman off!
"Mrs. Quinn, Christian and I have already broken up. The dowry was clearly discussed at the time, it was money I personally borrowed from the Quinn family, yet you have constantly used this to humiliate me," she said calmly, "I can’t marry Christian. Forget ten grand, even a hundred grand wouldn’t make it possible."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Quinn was stunned, and then started cursing.
"You’re being ungrateful, aren’t you? Not satisfied with ten thousand dollars? And asking for a hundred thousand, you have to see if you’re even worth it, as if my son isn’t good enough for you. Let me tell you, there are plenty of girls who want to marry him, but today you’re the one giving up this chance."
Mrs. Quinn’s words made it sound as if she was offering Nora a colossal favor.
"Hmm, I’m already married, and whoever Christian marries in the future has nothing to do with me."
She lifted her head and looked at Mrs. Quinn with a serious expression.
As soon as these words came out, the woman opposite was stunned, her smugness frozen on her face, making her expression comical for a moment.
Married? Who was the fool who gave an eighteen-thousand-eight dowry?
The more she thought about it, the more unfair she felt. That vixen, if she’s married, why is she still clinging to Quinn!
"Truly shameless, already married yet still entangled with an ex-boyfriend. What, is it because your foolish husband isn’t as handsome as my son? So you want to have it both ways? Hmph, shameless thing, even if you begged, I wouldn’t let you into the Quinn family."
The more she spoke, the louder and nastier her words became.
Nora’s face turned paler and paler: "Mrs. Quinn, I never clung to Christian. Last time I already told him..."
"Told him what? If it weren’t for you, how could my son be fooled to this extent by a vixen like you?"
She couldn’t argue with Mrs. Quinn, but Lily had a fiery temper and couldn’t stand hearing these words any longer.
"Truly shameless opens the door for shamelessness, completely shameless at home. When your son came last time, Nora was clear, she already got married, they have nothing to do with each other. Who’s shameless, I think it’s your son who’s shameless, thinking about someone else’s wife."
"You..."
"What you, I think your son likes being a bootlicker."
Mrs. Quinn was so angry she was out of breath, pointing at Lily but unable to say anything.
"Alright, Nora, you remember this!" she exclaimed through gritted teeth, then got up and left immediately.
After seeing Mrs. Quinn off, the two took a deep breath.
"I thought that dog Christian would have more backbone, but hmph, a mama’s boy indeed. Nora, breaking up with him was definitely the right move!"
Nora managed a wry smile, she knew what kind of person Christian was, indeed too influenced by his mother.
