It was just two words: money-minded!

The wedding proceeded smoothly.

Tiá, a former classmate of Milani, attracted many of their former classmates to her wedding. Moments after the news broke, it became common knowledge that Tia had married into the wealthy Quillen family, who were Mackenzie’s relatives. The combined dowry, wedding house, wedding car, and diamond ring amounted to nearly 1.5 million. Envy rippled through the attendees.

Meanwhile, Milani was at Ruby’s house, discussing the unfolding events.

“Ruby, things are finally looking up. Your family secured a dowry of 70,000, and you’re free from the obligation to marry that disabled person. Isn’t that wonderful?”

Despite Milani’s reassurances, Ruby couldn’t shake off her unease.

Securing a mere 70,000 dowry wasn’t Ruby’s ultimate aim. She had anticipated that Ryder, given his disability, would go to great lengths to marry her, possibly even beseeching Emmanuel’s family for financial assistance.

Yet, Ryder’s unexpected resolve and Tia’s sudden decision to marry him bewildered Ruby.

She wondered, What could Tia possibly see in Ryder? His family has no dowry to offer. Is it simply for a wedding house? How naive! Unbelievable!

As these thoughts raced through her mind, her attention was suddenly drawn to Milani, who appeared increasingly uneasy while scrolling through Moments on her phone.
