Betty wanted to remain dignified but couldn’t help but secretly glance at the amount on the check. When she saw the amount, her eyes full of calculations were filled with smiles.
When Susan saw this scene, she had mixed emotions.
She felt unprecedented embarrassment. She even wanted to laugh coldly and ask, “Are you really that happy to have finally sold me for a good price?”
Her fingertips were cold and the coldness from her heart made her shiver slightly.
Suddenly, a warm feeling spread from her palms. Her slightly empty eyes gradually focused and she followed the heat source to see that the man was holding her fingertips in his hands. He was rubbing them slightly to disperse that inexplicable coldness.
She bit her lips and looked at the man’s deep eyes, puzzled.
She thought that it must have been that the lights were too bright that she was hallucinating. Otherwise, why would she see the focused affection in Brad’s eyes?
Her hands were held by the man under the table. Susan’s expression remained unchanged, but the panic in her heart gradually replaced the embarrassment.
She wanted to retract her hand but the man was so strong that he didn’t give her a chance to escape.
At this time, John, who was shocked by the betrothal amount, gradually calmed down. He was puzzled and tried to probe, “Brandon, this betrothal gift….”
He wanted to ask if it was too much.
He knew that a family like the Yates would not enter the eyes of a family like the Quins.
The Yates family was also the party who had asked for the marriage this time.
However, the Quin family was very sincere.
A betrothal amount of one billion dollars was unheard of.
Brandon swept his gaze over Brad. Seeing that he didn’t have the intention to speak, he smiled and replied, “Does John feel that this is too small an amount?”
“How could that be!” John wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a clear estimation of his limitations. “What merits does my Susan have for the Quin family to treat her so well?”
Brandon and Patricia looked at each other and smiled. After that, Patricia said elegantly with a clean voice, “John’s words are too serious. What about merits? As long as the two of them are happy, we are even worried that this betrothal gift would be seen as treating her badly.”
“Not at all. You’re too polite. Why don’t we decide on a date then? Should they be engaged first or get married straight away?”
Betty’s tone was too shrewd and impatient, as if afraid that this fatty piece of meat would fly away.
“No need for an engagement. We can just get the certificate.”
Susan said these words.
Brandon and Patricia looked at Brad in unison. John pursed his lips and didn’t speak. Betty’s face sank. “Susan, what nonsense are you uttering?!”
Susan’s eyes burned and her tone was blunt. “Dad, Mom, Brandon, Patricia, since I’m getting married to Brad, I hope that everything will be simple. After all, my career is rising and I have a lot of jobs. A wedding is just a display of splendor. Since that’s the case, it’s more convenient for us to just get the certificate.”
“What nonsense is this?!” Betty’s face was full of anger. If not for the occasion, she might have rushed forward and slapped her.
Entire Chicago would be sensationalized knowing that they could become relatives with the Quin family. She couldn’t wait to make this wedding banquet a grand affair. However, this wretched girl just had to work against her!
A hint of interest flashed past Brandon’s eyes. He looked at Brad and his elegant smile deepened. “Brad, what are your thoughts?”
Now, everyone’s gazes were focused on Brad.
Betty interrupted. “Brandon, don’t listen to this girl spout nonsense. She has been spoiled since she was young. She has no manners at all.”
As she said, she even glared at Susan with a mean attitude.
The handsome Brad looked at the woman next to him. He tightened his grip on her soft fingertips and his facial features softened. He opened his thin lips slightly and said, “She said it. I have no objections.”
