Chapter 53 The Wedding (11) The Wells Family's Generous Bride Price
"In my lifetime, I will only marry Hannah in my lifetime, and she will be the only woman for me." Oscar's
voice was not loud, yet it seemed to be heard by the entire ballroom.
It was a shock.
Hannah's heart fluttered inexplicably at that moment.
Although she knew that everything was just a show, she was overwhelmed by Oscar's confession.
She could only be glad that she had lived 32 years.
If she were 22 years old now, maybe she would have been touched by Oscar.
She also had to say that after hearing what Oscar had said, Charles was not worth anything.
Charles, of course, was embarrassed by Oscar's sarcastic remark.
On the surface, Oscar was an uneducated dude, but he had been honored with so many public praises
all of a sudden.
Even things that Charles had worked so hard to get for so many years, Oscar seemed to get them with
ease.
The more Charles thought about it, the angrier he became inside.
He was the Best Man of Kensbury City. How could he possibly accept that he was outclassed by others
like this?
But what else could he do if he didn't accept it?
What Oscar said was all true, and he simply could not refute it.
Oscar still maintained his modesty and elegance and asked Lorie politely, "Madame Cooper, is there
anything else you are not satisfied with?"
Lorie was also dumbfounded by Oscar's words.
Who would have thought that a man with a bad reputation would have such a glorious day!
Oscar smiled and continued, "Since there is no more, I take Hannah to get our marriage license."
Hannah was stunned.
At the time, although she didn't say so, she acquiesced that they wouldn't get a marriage license.
It was fine to have a wedding, and it was fine to announce to the public that they were married, but
there should be no legal effects involved.
So when the time came for them to separate, there would be no need for so many formalities.
Hannah kept quiet.
Maybe, Oscar just deliberately said it to others.
The moment he finished, he wrapped his arms around her and intended to leave.
"Wait!" Lorie called them again.
Hannah could barely contain her emotions.
‘How much had the Sawyers bribed her grandmother with in finding ways to ruin her things?’ Hannah
thought.
Oscar, however, remained calm and asked, "Madame Cooper, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Marriage is not a matter for two people, but for two families. There is no agreement between the
elders. Are you going to do this without the elder’s permission? Do you have any sense of family?"
Lorie was still trying to stop them. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
But now it seemed that she couldn’t control Hannah anymore.
‘It was impossible that Hannah would disobey her parents' wishes. No matter how terrific Oscar had
been, ultimately he used to have a bad reputation, and Hannah's parents couldn't possibly agree with
their marriage. Plus, would Oscar's parents agree that Oscar was so abrupt in marrying Hannah? They
couldn't possibly have any opinion.’ Lorie was thinking to herself.
Oscar nodded and seemed to agree with what Lorie said, "Madame Cooper, you're right. I was the one
that was reckless."
Hearing Oscar say this, Lorie thought she had gotten her way and couldn't help but have a hint of
arrogance on her face.
“In the matter of marriage, it is indeed the Wells family's fault for not coming to the door to propose
marriage and not discussing with you in advance. I'd like to make an apology." It was Robert Wells who
spoke.
He and his wife, Venus, came on stage together and said politely.
Lorie had to pay due respect to the head of the Wells family. Her tone was noticeably softer, "Robert,
don't blame me for stopping them. The matter of marriage is not a child's play. I don't want to make a
big mistake and make us enemies instead of in-laws. Then the loss would outweigh the gain."
"Madame Cooper, you are right. Marriage is not a child's play, and can’t be treated so casually. So, it
just so happens that in front of all the guests, I'm presenting the bride price of the Wells family." Robert
said. Obviously, he had prepared for it, " Mr Jefferson."
"Yes, Mr Wells," A middle-aged man respectfully stepped forward.
He took out a list to everyone and read in a loud voice, "Today, Oscar, the son of the Wells family,
marries Hannah, the daughter of the Cooper family, and hereby prepares the bride-price as follows:
first, a cash gift of 800 million; second, a high-class residential building at Phoenix Bay under the Wells
Group Real Estate; third, a Ferrari; fourth, a gift of five percent of the original shares of the Wells Group
to Hannah as premarital property."
Everyone on the scene was taken aback.
The previous three were worth a lot of money, but none of them could beat the gift of the original
shares.
As the top of the Four Families and the richest family in the country, Wells Group had a market value of
hundreds of billions. Five percent of its shares would have been worth more than $2 billion. But the
point was that they were gifting the shares of Wells Group that only members of the Wells family could
own. Yet they gave it to Hannah as her premarital property. Didn't this highlight Hannah's status in the
Wells family?
No one could refuse this sincere offer.
So after the butler finished reading the bride price list, Robert said enthusiastically to Hannah's parents
who had also arrived on stage, "Miguel, do you think the bride price is reasonable? If you have any
dissatisfaction, please feel free to mention it."
On the contrary, when Hannah and Charles got married, not only did the Sawyer family skip the bride
price, but they also borrowed 2 billion from them.
Now the Wells family was asking them in all sincerity.
How could they possibly refuse!
What was more, Miguel glanced at Hannah.
He was asking her with his eyes if this was all her arrangement.
Actually, it was not her idea.
She never wanted to ask Oscar's parents to help them with the show, and she never wanted to alert
them to help her either
But when it came down to it, she couldn't think about it that much.
She nodded at her parents.
Miguel was a little helpless after all.
He had thought his daughter was just repenting her marriage, but he didn't expect her to get married
again.
Oscar seemed good and had some achievements, but...
Since Hannah was determined, Miguel would of course support her unconditionally.
He smiled warmly, "Robert, you are so gracious. We have not prepared a dowry, but you have given so
much bride price."
"Not much. This is the way we should do it. Besides, Hannah is so much better than Oscar." Robert
said sincerely, "My son is lucky to have married your daughter!"
"I won't allow you to belittle my son-in-law like that!" Miguel said.
Robert couldn't help but rejoice, "You're giving your consent for them to get married."
"Can I disagree? You've come this far. Won't you hate me if I don't agree? Besides, marriage is a
matter for the children themselves. As long as they are happy, how are we qualified to tell them what to
do?"
His words made Lorie even more embarrassed.
Lorie originally wanted the Robert and Venus to oppose their son’s marriage, but she didn't expect that
the two families would agree immediately, and the marriage was settled.
