Chapter 9

After saying that, she slammed the door and left.

Jack put on a bitter face. "Yasmin, please don't be like this. If I get divorced, our family will be broken up. Can you really bear to see it?"

I thought, "I can't bear to see it? If I can't bear it, I will be controlled by them for the rest of my life just like in my last life."

I shook my head helplessly. "I really have no money."

Jack said, "Well, Dad is in the hospital now, you have to pay for hospitalization and nutrition."

I said, "Dad, I think you are very energetic, so don't waste money in the hospital. Just go home. Of course, if you want to stay, I have no objection. Just pay for the medical expenses yourself."

In the past few years, not only did I buy them a house, I was also very generous in giving them money, so they wouldn't be unable to afford medical expenses.

After saying that, I turned around and left. Behind me I heard my father's roar, my mother's howling, and Jack's cursing.

They were so terrible.

Larry and I decided to hold the wedding.

Of course, I didn't inform my family.

But they still came to make trouble!

Just when the emcee asked Larry, "Are you willing to marry Ms. Yasmin Quill?"

The door was suddenly pushed open, then my parents, Jack and Lisa rushed in.

My dad yelled at the emcee, "I don't agree!"

My mother rushed onto the stage, sat down on the ground, slapped her thigh and started crying. "I am so sinful, giving birth to such a shameless daughter. She didn't even ask for the engagement gift. And she only wants a man, not her parents."

I didn't expect them to come or disrupt the wedding. The emcee also panicked. The guests started to make a commotion and whispered, and it began to become chaotic.

But Larry was not in a hurry. He gave a glance to several strong young men to pick them up and said, "If you keep making trouble, I will call the police."

This time, calling the police didn't scare them.

Jack stiffened his neck and said, "Call the police then. How can you get married without your parents' consent? Let's see who dares to arrest us today."

Lisa was filming a video with her phone. "Look everyone, this woman didn't even ask for the engagement gift, and she insisted on marrying this man. A woman who doesn't listen to her parents will not end up well."

Did she think that I wasn't able to speak?

I took the emcee's microphone and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry for all this. Today is my wedding day, but I didn't invite my family to come because they've taken my money for dozens of years. I don't want to be their daughter or sister anymore!"

The room gradually quieted down after I said these.

I continued. "I am forty years old now. In order to give my parents and brother a good life, I bought them a house and let my brother get married and start a family. But apart from asking me for money, no one has ever cared about me!"

I raised my hand and wiped the tears from my eyes. "I'm forty years old and want to get married, but they want the engagement gift of eight hundred thousand dollars! It's obvious that they don't want me to get married, all they want from me is to become a money-making tool for them for the rest of my life!"

The guests began to whisper to each other and gave contemptuous glances at them.

Lisa had turned off the video long ago and was standing there with a red face.

My father was being dragged by someone, but he was still struggling to come up and hit me. "You damn girl, every daughter protects her parents, but you don't take our sides."

I said, "Did you hear that? My dad meant that having a daughter is to contribute to her family, and that a daughter shouldn't have her own life."
