My Boyfriend Wants to Take Advantage of My Family's Wealth

After he knew about my family’s wealth, meeting his parents went much smoother. They were talking in the kitchen.

“The Thorne family and their daughter have so many assets? If Evan marries her, all that wealth will be ours in the future.”

“Evan, if she won’t marry you, then make her pregnant before marriage. She won’t be able to get away from you.”

Evan’s voice dripped with disdain: “Mom, she’s already devoted to me. Do we really need to worry about a premarital pregnancy?”

Not long after, he proposed to me. We were at a ramen shop when, after we finished eating, he suddenly knelt down and popped the question. I said yes.

I was a bit surprised when I saw the $1.50 diamond ring he bought on Amazon. I didn’t expect him to propose so soon.

Evan’s mom, Vivian, was curious about the dowry: “Aria, your family is so rich. How much dowry is appropriate?”

At that moment, Vivian seemed worried that I might ask for a lot. But honestly, taking her son’s soul is like taking his life. I’ve already taken a life, so why would I care about their money? You can’t have everything in life.

I shook my head and quickly said, “Auntie, marrying Evan is my blessing. I don’t want a dowry!”

Vivian sighed with relief. But her expression changed soon after. She relaxed a bit, leaned back on the sofa, and began praising her son.

“This child! He’s been smart since he was young, got into a top university, worked at a foreign company—all thanks to his hard work. And as you said, marrying Evan is indeed a blessing. Many young women wanted to marry him, but I didn’t agree. Let’s go with your suggestion: no dowry, but the bride’s family will provide a villa.”

So it was settled. Next up was discussing the wedding details. I brought my mom to meet his parents, and both families had to agree on the wedding date. My mom’s eyes lit up, but since I can only see a bit of the malicious black lines on people, I could tell there was something off.

What she saw were dense black lines on the faces of Evan’s parents. Excitedly, she grabbed Vivian and said, “Vivian, they are a great match. I feel a strange sense of familiarity with you.”

I couldn’t stop laughing. It was so obvious how malicious they were. This was like the thrill of a hunter spotting their prey.

My mom whispered to me, “This couple must have killed people. They’re extremely evil. It’s rare to find such evil among a hundred thousand people. Today, I encountered two of them. What a stroke of luck for you. Let me investigate them thoroughly.”
