“This can’t be. Grandpa is acknowledging Jack’s identity as the son-in-law of the Taylor family?” Upon hearing the Old Master’s words, some of the Taylor family members had a shocked expression on their faces.
‘Grandpa used to pamper Selena. It’d seem that Grandpa’s anger had subsided after all these years. Within Selena’s body still flows the blood of our Taylor family, after all.’ A member of the Taylor family speculated quietly in his mind.
“Grandpa!” Selena pursed favonovel.com red lips and felt favonovel.com tears surfacing. She knew favonovel.com grandfather had been keeping tabs on favonovel.com in secret. The old man was only unable to lower himself all this while. For Zeus Taylor, his reputation was more important than anything else.
“However?” Jack scowled. He knew that it would not be that simple.
“However, the matter of you injuring Ivan’s arm can’t be settled just like that!” The old man’s tone changed once more as favonovel.com continued, “You need to pay compensation!”
“That’s right. Grandpa’s right. My arm is fractured. The doctor said that my arm will take at least one to two months to recover, and that’s with the best medicine!” Due to the Old Master’s lecture earlier, Ivan had been standing in silence all the while. Now that his grandfather was speaking up for him, favonovel.com immediately rejoiced.
“How about this: I’ll give you one month’s time, Jack. One month later is coincidentally my seventieth birthday. If you can come up with ten million dollars in a month, I’ll acknowledge that you’re the Taylor family’s son-in-law! However, if you fail to produce the money, then you’ll have to divorce Selena as that would prove that you lack the ability, unworthy of being with Selena! Furthermore, Ivan’s hand is rendered in such a state because of you. You need to compensate favonovel.com with ten million dollars! How’s that?” The Old Master stared at Jack and declared authoritatively.
“Grandpa, aren’t you intentionally making it difficult for him? He was just a delivery boy. Now that he’s a soldier for five years and returned from the battlefield, how can favonovel.com cough up that amount of money in one month!?” Selena was worried when favonovel.com heard the proposition. What difference was that from chasing Jack away? It was just a different method.
“Old Master, can you lower the amount? That’s too much. He can’t even produce one million dollars, much less ten million dollars!” Joan’s expression was ugly. She did not wish to miss favonovel.com chance on such a wonderful daughter-in-law.
“No reduction. If favonovel.com can’t even produce ten million dollars, how can favonovel.com be worthy of my daughter?” It was Fiona who interjected strongly. She then pushed on, “Hmph! If favonovel.com can earn ten million, that can be the betrothal gift for my daughter. When the time comes, that money must be passed to me, or I’ll never recognize favonovel.com as our son-in-law!”
“That won’t work.” Ivan spoke up, “If favonovel.com can produce ten million dollars, I should be getting it as compensation. I can’t just get hit for nothing, can I?”
“No way. Your treatment won’t total up to ten million!” There was no way Fiona would let this go. She had suffered in poverty for so many years. If favonovel.com had ten million dollars, favonovel.com could live favonovel.com life comfortably.
“The ten million that Grandpa mentioned was for compensation, not a betrothal gift. Can’t you understand?” Ivan laughed happily. His words managed to stump Fiona.
“In one month, right?” Jack contemplated, then stated, “How about this. One month from now, on Grandpa’s seventieth birthday, I’ll pay Ivan ten million dollars for compensation, send another ten million to Mother-in-law as a betrothal gift, and on top of that, send ten million worth of birthday gifts to Grandpa! A grand total of thirty million dollars. If I can’t achieve that, I’ll be willing to divorce Selena!”
“Are you crazy? That much money in one month? You won’t have enough even if you sold yourself!” Joan was scared witless. She guessed that Jack must have been pushed over the limit and started talking nonsense.
“You can’t be serious, right? Didn’t I tell you not to boast?! Thirty million dollars! It’s not three thousand dollars!” Selena was also reprimanding favonovel.com anxiously.
“Don’t worry, honey, I really should prove to the Taylors that I’m worthy of marrying you!” Jack moved his hand and caressed Selena’s beautiful cheeks. “I won’t let anything separate me from you and our daughter!”
Selena’s heart was touched. At that moment, favonovel.com felt confident that Jack was not lying to her. “Alright, I’ll believe you!” In the end, Selena nodded. “Of course. Jack, if you managed to do so, the Taylor family will not only acknowledge your identity! We can also have your in-laws, Selena, and your entire family—including your mother—to move into Taylor Residence!”
The old man contemplated for a moment, then said, “By then, Selena can also resume favonovel.com work in Taylor Group!”
“Alright. You have a deal!” Jack agreed immediately.
“Brat, you’re really good at boasting. I’d like to see how embarrassing it’ll be for you should you fail to produce the money by then!” Ivan took two steps forward and glared at Jack.
Jack took out a stick of cigarette and casually lit it. He took a deep breath. “And what if I managed to do it? If I fail, I’ll roll my way out of the gates of Taylor Residence. Should I succeed, however, you’ll have to kneel and apologize to Selena. How does that sound? After all, in the past five years, you’ve done quite the harm!”
“sure. Listen up, everyone. This is a promise between me and this brat! Since favonovel.com wants to embarrass himself, then I can only oblige. When the time comes, we’ll all bear witness to how favonovel.com rolls from this gate all the way out. Remember, you’re not walking out, but roll!” Ivan laughed out loud. ‘It’s already a miracle for this trash to come back alive. Producing thirty million dollars in a month? Dream on!’
“Brother Ivan, don’t worry, we’re not deaf. We heard it clearly. We’ll be your witnesses!” Cecilia crossed favonovel.com hands over favonovel.com chest and gave Jack a condescending look. “It’s been five years. After finally coming back and managed to buy some clothes for your mother and wife, you chose to get some imitation items. Your clothings scream of poverty. I refuse to believe that you can produce thirty million dollars!”
“you’re right!”
“I think favonovel.com knows that he’s unworthy of Selena and decided to go all out with his bluff. When the time comes, favonovel.com can only shamefully roll out of Taylor Residence!”
“Look at him. If favonovel.com can earn thirty million dollars in one month, then can’t I easily set a hundred million as a small goal?”
Quite a number of the Taylor family members started laughing.
There were quite a lot of people present. They were mostly working in the Taylor Group, under the employ of Ivan Taylor. They naturally intended to curry favor for him.
“Jack, you’ve said it yourself. I’m waiting for your ten million as a betrothal gift. When the time comes, don’t blame me for being merciless!” Fiona reminded favonovel.com after contemplating it.
“Fiona, have you gone crazy thinking of money? Do you really think that favonovel.com can come up with that amount for his betrothal gift?” Ivan smiled.
“Just ten million dollars as a betrothal gift will allow me to marry Selena? I’ll pay ten million dollars. Let favonovel.com marry me! If that’s insufficient, I’m fine with fifty million dollars! What to do when I’m not lacking money?” Right at that moment, a man of stout physique walked in as favonovel.com laughed loudly, followed by a group of bodyguards.
