Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 305 You Are Priceless

“What do you mean two million? Are you crazy!” Josephine stood up abruptly. A glint of rage flashed across her eyes as she looked at my mother. It was clear that she could no longer put up with my mother’s outrageous behavior.

Furthermore, my heart sank when I noticed Michael was furrowing his brows as well. I knew that two million meant nothing to Michael, but my mother used our marriage to extort such a huge sum of money from him. I could not help wondering if he was feeling sorry for me.

“Mom, don’t you think this is too much?”

Seeing that Michael did not respond after a while, I frowned and looked at my mother with displeasure. I was not expecting her to ask for such a ridiculous amount of money.

“Is two million too much? I raised you from a young age and spent so many years taking care of you. You wouldn’t be where you are right now if it weren’t for your parents. How is it too much to ask for two million? I don’t think the Shaw family will have a problem fulfilling my request even if I’m asking for twenty million.”

My mother’s tone was laced with annoyance when she realized I was taking the Shaw family’s side. She looked at me with rage-filled eyes and scolded me as if I was an unfilial daughter.

Nonetheless, I was dissatisfied with my mother’s actions. She had gone overboard by requesting a two-million betrothal gift. To put it into perspective, in the countryside, betrothal gifts of ten to eighty thousand were already considered excessive.

“How dare you have the audacity to ask for two million as a betrothal gift? Do you really think your daughter is worth that much money? This is ridiculous!” Josephine jumped from her seat and snorted coldly.

She cast an unhappy gaze at my mother and was visibly upset by the shocking request.

I was well aware of Josephine’s dislike toward me. She had always suspected that I got together with Michael because I was after his money. Now that she was saying these things about me in front of my parents, I could not help but feel heartbroken, despite it being the truth.
