Yelena spat sadistically, “It was bought using the money for your wedding gift!”

“You—”

“Let me be honest. Dad didn’t even think about giving you a gift. It was an honor that you replaced me! Be thankful!”

“$40,000 more or less.”

“How much is the plot of land the Jenners are bidding for worth?”

“$150,000,000.”
