Edward Armstrong continued to ask, “And when will the remaining 1 million dollars be given?”

Sabrina Sabir replied, “After their wedding. The groom’s side wants the wedding to take place on the 18th of next month!”

Edward Armstrong nodded, “That’s acceptable. They are offering such a significant dowry; their request is not excessive.”

Just then, as if suddenly remembering something, Edward Armstrong looked at Sabrina Sabir, “Right, Sabrina, did you meet the groom today? What’s the situation on his side?”

Being able to put forward three million dollars for the dowry, he mustn’t be just anybody.

But if he came from a great family, then why would he be interested in Christina Armstrong?

Sabrina Sabir’s family continued, “On the groom’s side, in Capital City, they are a well-known major family. To him, money is just a number. Once our Christina marries him, she’ll be able to live a life of luxury, and even George could benefit from the association.”

“I’m thinking that after they are married, we can get the groom to find a way to also transfer George’s registration to Capital City.”

The benefits of having a Capital City registration are good.

Unfortunately, the requirements for obtaining one have become increasingly stringent over the past few years.

Edward Armstrong nodded and then asked, “What do the groom’s parents do for a living? How old is he? How many brothers and sisters does he have in his family?”

“His parents are no longer alive,” Sabrina Sabir’s eyes began to dart around as she answered the question about the groom’s age, “It’s just that, the groom might be just a bit older than Christina.”

Upon hearing this, Edward Armstrong said with a smile, “That’s fine, being older is good; older men are more caring.”

As a father, he too hoped his daughter would marry into a good family.

Seeing this, Sabrina Sabir immediately nodded in agreement, “Exactly, I think so too.”

Edward Armstrong asked further, “How much older?”

Sabrina Sabir continued, “He’s exactly seventy this year.”

Seventy!

Upon hearing this, Edward Armstrong’s expression changed instantly. “What did you say?”

Sabrina Sabir repeated herself.

Edward Armstrong jumped up from his seat, “Are you saying you want to marry Christina off to a seventy-year-old man?”

Edward Armstrong had originally thought the man was just a bit older than Christina.

He never imagined the man would even be older than him!

“Sabrina, this is, isn’t this nonsense? Our Christina is so young, and you want her to marry a man older than I am! How am I supposed to face people if this gets out?”

What will people say about him?

Edward Armstrong couldn’t afford to lose that much face.

Sabrina Sabir followed up, “This is Capital City, how many people know you? Besides, although the groom is old, he is wealthy! When we married, we were about the same age, but what have I gained after spending a lifetime with you? I work myself to the bone every day! I don’t want my daughter to go through the same hardships!”

Every word Sabrina Sabir spoke seemed to be for Christina Armstrong’s benefit, without a hint of her own hidden agenda.

It was as if she truly were a devoted mother.

Edward Armstrong’s brow furrowed, “Sabrina, as long as a couple works together, life is bound to get better. Christina is still a young girl, she should marry someone her own age. She is our daughter, we can’t ruin her life!”

Although three million dollars was a substantial dowry, Edward Armstrong still couldn’t get over his own reservations.

Just the thought that the other party was a seventy-year-old man made him feel suffocated.

“Christina is your daughter, but does that mean George is not your son?” Sabrina Sabir continued, “Our George is already twenty-three this year. His peers have cars and homes, what does George have?”

“Don’t you want to see George live a better life?”

By the end, Sabrina Sabir was crying, “I’ve done all this for the good of the Armstrong Clan! For the good of your son! But look at you, ungrateful like biting the hand that feeds you. My poor George, why did he have to end up with such a useless father!”

Edward Armstrong was stunned.

Torn between his son and his daughter, he found himself in a difficult situation.

Both were his flesh and blood, after all.

Seeing Edward Armstrong indecisive, Sabrina Sabir picked up the bank card from the table and said angrily, “Fine, if you don’t want to marry Christina off to him, I’ll go and make it clear to that person right now! Since you don’t care about George, let him deal with the cold winds of the northwest!”

Sabrina Sabir turned to leave, internally counting down from three.

She knew Edward Armstrong too well!

Sure enough, as Sabrina Sabir counted to two, Edward Armstrong grabbed her hand, “Sabrina! Don’t be rash!”
