Chapter 1715: 417: It’s simply ridiculous!_2 Chapter 1715: 417: It’s simply ridiculous!_2 Sabrina Sabir hummed a tune as she returned home.
Seeing her in such a good mood, Edward Armstrong, who was resting at home, was very perplexed. “What’s up with you?”
Logically, Sabrina had just been scammed out of eight hundred thousand, so her mood should not be this good.
Sabrina said with a smile, “Come with me.”
Edward followed in Sabrina’s footsteps.
The two entered the room, and Sabrina spoke with a look of mystery, “Let me tell you, we are about to make a fortune!”
Edward remained on guard, “You haven’t been scammed again, have you?”
He was now extremely cautious, fearful that Sabrina might be deceived once more.
After all, their savings were now quite low.
Sabrina snorted coldly, “Scammed again? Do you really think I’m that stupid?”
“Edward, what are you actually trying to say?” Sabrina asked angrily.
Edward sighed and then said, “Sabrina, after such a big ordeal, do you still believe that there are pies falling from the sky?”
The couple had been swindled out of their entire savings of eight hundred thousand.
The hundred thousand or so was pieced together from what her sisters had sent.
Buying a house was out of the question now!
They could only think of ways to save money so they could buy George a slightly better car in the future.
Every time he thought about this, Edward felt so heartbroken he wanted to cry, almost unable to breathe.
Sabrina’s eyes turned red, and she said while crying, “Yes! I did make a mistake that one time, but even a murderer doesn’t overdo punishment. When your two sisters were pointing at my nose, berating me to the point I was drenched in their spittle, did you hear me utter a word? Edward! Now that it’s all in the past, do you still want to hold this over me?”
“Edward, just be honest with me, do you not want to live with me anymore? If you don’t want to live with me, let’s get a divorce! I’ll take George and leave right away!”
Of course.
A divorce was out of the question.
After all, Christina Armstrong was about to get married!
She just wanted to scare Edward a little.
Sure enough, upon hearing her words, Edward’s face turned white with fright, and he immediately said, “Sabrina, don’t be angry, I didn’t mean it that way. I just want to know, what do you mean by saying we’re going to make a fortune?”
Sabrina’s satisfaction grew when she saw how easily she could manipulate Edward, and she continued, “Then listen to me as I explain.”
Christina wasn’t just her daughter, and to ensure Christina married Peter Stone smoothly, she had to get past Edward.
Fortunately, Edward was a man without much backbone, and his favorite was George.
So, it shouldn’t be hard to deal with Edward.
With this in mind, Sabrina narrowed her eyes, carefully choosing her words, then began, “I’ve found a wealthy family for our Christina. They are extremely wealthy and are willing to pay three million dollars in dowry to marry Christina. Tell me, aren’t we about to make a fortune?”
Upon hearing this, Edward’s eyes widened in curiosity, asking, “Really? Is it true?”
“Three, three million dollars?!”
By the end of it, Edward’s voice was trembling.
Three million dollars was no small sum.
“Of course it’s true!” Sabrina nodded and added, “I’ve already collected the deposit, and the groom’s family will visit to meet us in three days.”
“How much is the deposit?” Edward inquired.
“Two million dollars.” Saying this, Sabrina took out the card.
Edward picked up the card and swallowed hard, “Is there really two million dollars in here?”
“Of course! I’ve already checked with the bank!”
Edward was slightly incredulous.
He even wondered if he was dreaming.
What kind of family would be willing to pay such a high dowry to marry a bride?
In their area, the highest ever dowry was only eight hundred eighty thousand.
Edward, afraid that Sabrina had been deceived, asked again, “Where did you meet the groom’s family?”
“A marriage agency.” answered Sabrina.
“That, is it reliable?” Edward clutched the card tightly, “What if they change their minds?”
“I’ve already got the money; they can’t back out now!” Sabrina continued, “Just calm down, this deal is as firm as iron! You have no idea how pleased that old–they were with Christina!”
Realizing her slip, Sabrina quickly corrected herself, “You have no idea how satisfied the man’s family is with Christina!”
Feeling like he was in a dream, Edward looked at Sabrina and said, “Slap me.”
Sabrina looked baffled, “Why should I slap you?”
“To see if it hurts!”
What if this was all a dream?
Sabrina raised her hand and delivered a slap to Edward.
The slap buzzed in Edward’s head, and although it hurt, he was not angry but instead excited, exclaiming, “I’m not dreaming! Sabrina, this is not a dream!”
