Chapter - 1279

After Leann had spoken, she rushed off into the crowd and said to Steve, “Come quick! Follow me to greet your future father-in-law. I’m warning you, if you spoil my plans, your father and I will never forgive you!”

Steve was infuriated “I’ve already told you, I’m cutting all ties with you. What future father-in-law are you talking about?”

Isabella felt a tightening feeling in her chest as she looked at Steve and asked, “Steve, what is this all about?”

In the spur of the moment, Steve shouted angrily, “My parents have gone crazy from greed! They desperately want me to marry this big boss’s daughter and they want me to marry into the other family. There was also a rumor saying that their daughter was pregnant with a mixed-race man’s baby and they want her to give birth.”

After saying those words, everyone, including Isabella, Claire and Charlie, were stunned. Even the rest of the Carson family were shocked by the news!

Charlie finally understood the situation. This husband and wife were willing to sell off their son to marry into another family for money. Wasn’t Steve their flesh and blood? How could they do such a thing?

Leann couldn’t endure it any longer. She yelled, “Steve! I am telling you, this is not the time to be ignorant! The dowry is fifty million dollars!”

The Carson family was taken aback by the crazy sum of dowry. Fifty million dollars? They couldn’t believe someone was willing to pay that ridiculous sum just to marry someone’s son.

Gary Carson, who was Steve’s paternal cousin, spoke up, “Second Aunt, since Steve is unwilling, why don’t you let me handle this? For fifty million dollars, be it a mixed-race man’s child or an alien’s child, I wouldn’t even mind it.”

Leann arched her eyebrow. “Stop dreaming. This has nothing to do with you. Their family wants to marry my son, Steve!”

After saying that, she looked at Steve and began scolding him in a harsh tone, “Did you see that? Everyone would have jumped at the given opportunity. Only you… are unwilling to do it. Your father and I have been working diligently all our lives. How in the world did we give birth to a dumb son like you?”

Steve replied coldly, “Since Cousin Brother is so interested in it, let him go for it. I am definitely not going!”

Leann snapped as she turned to Isabella and shrieked, “Ms. Stark! As long as you’re willing to leave my son, I will give you five million dollars!”

Isabella, who was standing idly, just shook her head in rejection. “Steve and I are truly in love. Even if you give me fifty million dollars or a billion dollars, I will never leave him!”

Gary immediately replied, “Second Aunt, Steve is indeed confident that he doesn’t want this. If so, why don’t you just pass it to me instead of letting this golden opportunity go to waste? You can introduce her to me since I am also part of the Carson family. It’s still beneficial for our family. Why don’t I strike you a deal? You introduce her to me, and I will give you five million dollars!”

“Scram!” Leann had always looked down on Gary and his family. Although they were from the same family, their statuses were very different from one another.

Due to this, when Leann looked at the greedy Gary’ face, a deep grounded hatred burned in her chest.

In her opinion, even if her son couldn’t marry into the Ward family, she would never introduce Gary as a candidate.

There was no way she would give him the chance to climb above her current status.
Gary was taken aback by her rude reply. “Second Aunt, what is the meaning of this? We are a family!”

“Scram! I am not part of your family!”

Gary was also in a bad mood, and he thought to himself, how could she scold him in front of so many people. Had he accidentally provoked her?

After thinking for a while, Gary shouted “Second Aunt, you’ve gone overboard!”

At this moment, Grant Ward heard the commotion and decided to walk into the crowd. He then proceeded to question, “Is everything alright? What has happened here?”

Leann panicked and replied hastily, “Mr. Ward, I’m so sorry you have to see this. My son is throwing a tantrum now, but you can rest assured. I will definitely be able to convince him!”
