Chapter 79
The Hawthorn clan was all worked up. They had high hopes that Vivienne’s dowry would revive their family’s fortune. But who could’ve guessed that the Ellingtons only coughed up a meager 88K? How could they swallow that?

Arabella was shocked at the 88K dowry, but secretly, she was thrilled.
