Chapter 1

There was no money in the card from Sylvia Dalton, my future mother-in-law as a dowry for me.

During the engagement banquet, I discovered that Sylvia actually had plans to take advantage of me.

Even the card she had just given me had no money.

After being exposed, Sylvia became furious.

"So what if there is no money? Are you going to back out of the engagement?

"You're nothing but a filthy woman now. Who else would want you besides my son?"

But when they saw my dowry worth millions of dollars, they were filled with regret.

What was happening? All the guests were already here, and now we were calling off the engagement.

"Mom! What's going on? Did Marco do something to upset you? Yesterday you couldn't stop talking about how much you liked him, and now, all of a sudden, you've changed your mind. Why?"

My mom frowned, handed me her phone, yanked off her corsage, and said angrily.

"Listen for yourself. If, after listening, you still insist on going through with this, then I'll consider myself no longer your mother!"

What could have possibly happened to make my usually calm and composed mother this furious? I wondered.
