Chapter 220: Chapter 220: How Much Bride Price Did Leon Keane Give You?
Julian Monroe plans to curry favor with Ivana Monroe and Leon Keane, having given up on fighting for the inheritance.
Kimberly Monroe and Sylvia Monroe both shuddered, seeing Caleb Monroe’s furious strength as he hit someone, their eyes dodging.
"I have some things to take care of at home, big brother, I’m leaving first."
"Ah? I think there are clothes I haven’t collected at home, big brother, I’m leaving first too."
Kimberly and Sylvia saw Caleb Monroe in a fit of rage; wanting to get anything from Ivana or Leon today? That’s impossible, they might as well leave quickly.
Ivana Monroe looked toward Leon Keane, did he call Caleb Monroe over?
Leon Keane gave Ivana Monroe a gentle smile, seemingly telling her, yes, he was the one who called Caleb Monroe over.
He gave Caleb Monroe a lucrative project, so it was only fitting for Caleb to do this small favor for him.
"Honey, let’s go home!"
Leon Keane embraced Ivana Monroe as the two got into the luxury car.
The car belonged to Ivana Monroe, and the driver was Ivana Monroe.
As she started the car, through the front windshield, she saw Caleb Monroe also looking at her, with his gaze carrying complicated emotions she didn’t want to dissect.
This man has never been a qualified father.
He is very selfish; even without Jean Shaw, he would have found a woman like Jean Shaw.
Otherwise, how could he still be fooling around outside and getting a mistress pregnant at his age?
Ivana Monroe lowered her gaze, unwilling to look at Caleb Monroe again, she turned the wheel and left this suffocating place.
After Ivana Monroe left.
Caleb Monroe is ruthless; he forced Jean Shaw and Michelle Monroe to kneel before the Old Master, admit their mistakes, and apologize.
Jean Shaw and Michelle Monroe had never suffered such grievances; in the Old Master’s room, they admitted their mistakes and apologized but kept crying, as if they were enormously wronged.
Butler Chaucer frowned, unable to sympathize with Jean Shaw and her daughter.
This mother and daughter duo have wicked hearts; for the Old Master’s inheritance, they’d commit any malicious act, nearly driving him to death this time.
"Master, I’m wondering if I should say something?"
"Butler Chaucer, go ahead."
"The lady apologizes as if she’s suffered immense grievance? If she doesn’t want to apologize, then forget it, the Old Master is old and needs peace the most; I hope you won’t disturb him anymore, let the Old Master live a few more years! No matter how good money is, it doesn’t compare to human life, especially since the Old Master is your father."
Caleb Monroe’s face suddenly hurt; he shot a fierce glare at Jean Shaw and Michelle Monroe, these bitches were deliberately opposing him, crying as if mourning when they apologized, causing him to be reprimanded by Butler Chaucer.
Caleb Monroe found it hard to respond to Butler Chaucer; after all, he was considered half the master to Butler Chaucer, how could a servant lecture the master?
Caleb Monroe said to the Old Master, "Dad! It was my fault in the past, it’s Jean Shaw and Michelle’s fault, I’ll discipline this mother and daughter well afterward. Don’t worry about anything, just focus on recovering your health; Ivana will soon get married, and by then, you’ll have to attend Ivana’s wedding and witness her marrying her ideal husband, won’t you agree?"
Finally, Gavin Monroe’s motionless eyes moved, he grunted, "I don’t need your concern, just don’t bother me, disrupt me, nothing’s better for me than peace."
Jean Shaw and Michelle Monroe froze, hadn’t Ivana already become Leon’s wife? How come they’re about to get married?
The mother and daughter immediately realized that Leon had only gotten close to Ivana, set a wedding date, but hadn’t truly married her yet, just called her wife.
Michelle Monroe’s eyes turned red with jealousy; Leon’s wedding will certainly have a grand setup, she wishes for trouble at Leon and Ivana’s wedding, or better, Ivana gets hit by a car on her wedding day.
Jean Shaw had a different thought than Michelle Monroe; she thought about the betrothal gift, Leon will certainly give a substantial gift to marry Ivana, no wonder Caleb Monroe couldn’t care less about the Old Master’s inheritance and forced her and Michelle to kneel before the Old Master and apologize.
She thought Caleb Monroe was devoted out of filial piety, but it turned out... it all happened because of Leon!
Jean Shaw began scheming, waiting for Caleb Monroe to bid the Old Master farewell, then she and Caleb Monroe left the old residence.
Jean Shaw couldn’t help asking, "How much betrothal gift did Leon give you?"
Michelle Monroe’s heart jolted upon hearing, she was jealous and curious, how much did Leon pay to marry Ivana?
Caleb Monroe glared at Jean Shaw, vigilant, "Money money money, all you see is money."
Jean Shaw chuckled: "Aren’t you doing it for money? You hit me in front of Leon and Ivana and hit Michelle too, isn’t it just to show Leon?"
Michelle Monroe was stunned; she hadn’t expected her father hitting her had this intention?
Michelle felt incredibly hurt; why did her father treat her this way? Is money more important than her in his heart?
Michelle Monroe’s pain turned her thoughts back to Ivana; initially, she made her father mistakenly believe Ivana was misbehaving outside, which led Zachary to leave Ivana, her father didn’t even care about Ivana’s life or death.
Six years ago, she thought she had won, but she didn’t expect to fall to Ivana’s previous state now, her father treating her just like he treated Ivana.
The more Michelle Monroe’s heart ached, the clearer it became that Caleb Monroe is a deeply selfish man.
Michelle couldn’t bear it anymore; she turned around and ran away crying.
"Michelle." Seeing this, Jean Shaw loudly called out to Michelle several times.
"Quickly chase your daughter! Don’t let anything happen." Caleb Monroe was "concerned" for Michelle now only because he wanted Jean Shaw to stop pestering him about the betrothal gift; he wasn’t going to tell Jean Shaw.
An investigation on the side revealed this pregnancy is a boy; he wants to keep all the money he earned for raising the son.
Michelle is already quite grown, legally speaking, he doesn’t have a duty to raise her anymore, instead, Michelle should support him.
Jean Shaw is clever; couldn’t she guess Caleb Monroe wants to stash away money?
Jean Shaw chose not to go.
"She’s just been bullied severely by you, her father, sad and distressed, a few cries won’t lead to anything. Stop hindering, tell me, how much is Ivana’s betrothal gift? I may be Ivana’s stepmother, but you shouldn’t swallow all her betrothal gift, you must give me a portion..."
"Don’t dream, hasn’t Ivana suffered enough from you mother-daughter duo? Do you still think you can take her betrothal gift? Aren’t you afraid of Ivana’s mother’s spirit coming to find you?"
The two began arguing about Ivana’s betrothal gift, and finally, Caleb Monroe’s eyes turned red, prompting him to consider hitting Jean Shaw, scaring her into silence.
Jean Shaw devised a wicked plan; she intended to visit the Kane family residence and ask Leon’s mother for money.
