Chapter 1271

Leann felt very lost and confused at this time. The thirty million dollar dowry was certainly very attractive. However, the main point was that she would have to ask her son to marry a pregnant woman. Wasn’t this what people would often refer to as fathering someone else’s child? Although she was not a young person anymore, she still had some understanding of these buzzwords. However, when she thought about the fact that Mr. Ward had already offered a thirty million dollar dowry and that he was also offering various resources to support their family, Leann began to look forward to it deep within her heart. In her opinion, as long as he was willing to give them a lot of money, then it would not be a big problem for her son to father someone else’s child. However, the crucial point of this matter was that it would be easy for her to explain things to her relatives and friends if the other party was pregnant with a Chinese child. She could just tell her relatives and friends that the both of them had gotten pregnant prior to this and that was the reason why they decided to get married. After the child is born, she could just treat the child as part of her own family on account of money. She could just wait for another two years before she asked her to give birth to her son’s own child then. Wouldn’t that be perfect then? But the main point was that Mr. Ward’s daughter was actually pregnant with a foreigner’s child. If she really allowed her son to marry her, then wouldn’t her son be criticized and ridiculed by others once the child was born? Leann could not help but hesitate a little as she thought about this. When she saw her hesitation, Lisa whispered in her ear, “Leann, let me tell you the truth. Mr. and Mrs. Ward are both very anxious about this matter now. They didn’t know about their daughter’s pregnancy before this. However, the problem right now is that Mr. Ward and his wife would not be able to maintain their reputation when their daughter starts showing.” Leann’s heart skipped a beat. If she looked at it this way, that meant that Mr. Ward must be feeling very anxious right now. If that was the case, then she should take advantage of this opportunity to rip him off. As she thought about this, Leann immediately said, “Lisa, to be honest, this matter is indeed a bit too shameful. While we also have the intention to help Mr. Ward, we can’t simply let my son suffer and criticize him for taking over a bad deal without any knowledge of it, right?”

Lisa hurriedly replied, “That’s the reason why Mr. Ward is willing to understand your family’s situation. If you’re willing to suffer this grievance, then Mr. Ward will definitely be willing to give you more money to make it up to you!” “Leann, let me be honest with you. It isn’t bad for you to earn so much money at one go. What’s more, it’s a whopping thirty million dollars. An ordinary person would never be able to make so much money in this lifetime. The reason why Mr. Ward has thought about your family is mainly because he feels that your son is actually pretty compatible with their family in various aspects. They feel that they would not lose face at all if their daughter were to get married to your son.” As she spoke about this, Lisa hurriedly added, “To be honest, Mr. Ward has already made such a good offer. If he were to make this offer to someone else, I’m certain that they would have already agreed and accepted his offer immediately. Leann, listen to my advice and don’t miss out on such a good opportunity.” Leann smiled as she said, “Lisa, I know that you’re also saying this out of kindness. However, if he makes this offer to a family with no background or money, then they would definitely agree to his offer immediately. However, our Carson family has some sort of background and foundation too. Therefore, the amount he is offering is really too low.” Lisa looked at Leann before she asked, “Leann, we’re both so close and we share such a good relationship with each other. You don’t need to beat around the bush with me. You can just name me a figure. After that, I’ll pass your message on to Mr. Ward. If Mr. Ward has no objection to this matter, then this matter will have been decided on by both parties. After that, they can decide on a date to hold the wedding and get the marriage certificate then.” Leann replied in a low voice, “Let’s do it this way then. Lisa, please help me let Mr. and Mrs. Ward know that they cannot give me a dowry of less than fifty million dollars for this matter then!”
