Chapter 1254 Jacking Up The Price
Inside the room, there were several women who became excited upon seeing the cash envelopes.
They eagerly snatched the envelopes with laughter and giggles.
However, the door remained closed!
Ryder, who had been married before and experienced difficulties with his ex-wife and stepdaughter,
quickly understood Belinda’s intentions. With a smile, he took out a large cash envelope from his
pocket and handed it
over
“Mrs. Zimmerman, I truly want to marry your daughter. Please stop making things difficult for me!
Hehe…”
Belinda accepted the cash envelope, glanced at it, and furrowed her brow.
“Tsk! How much can this envelope possibly contain? With such a lack of sincerity, do you really expect
me not to
give you a hard time? What are you dreaming of?”
Ryder suddenly felt flustered.
The lively atmosphere around them gradually quieted down.
They had witnessed others making things difficult for the groom, but they had never encountered such

demands!
“Quick! Everyone, check how many cash envelopes are left and give them all to my mother-in-law!”
Ryder simply wanted to complete the wedding ceremony smoothly, so he swiftly instructed the
groomsmen
around him
Everyone handed over the remaining cash envelopes to Belinda.
However, she remained unsatisfied and declared coldly, “Don’t even think about marrying my daughter
with these
few cash envelopes I won’t open the door for you!”
“What *
what do you mean?”
Ryder was completely flustered
“What do mean? Do you know how much money I’ve spent raising Ruby for thirty years? After marrying
you, she will serve you and your father and bear children with your family name. Do you honestly
believe a mere 70,000 dowry is sufficient?
Belinda demanded “Let me tell you this. Don’t even think about marrying my daughter if you don’t give
me another

dowry?” Milani retorted.
The other bridesmaids fell silent, as they truly didn’t want to marry an elderly cripple!

Upon witnessing this, Ruby suddenly gained confidence! They were right! If she didn’t receive enough
dowry today, she absolutely wouldn’t proceed with the marriage!
Emmanuel finally couldn’t stay silent any longer outside. “Mrs. Zimmerman, what you’re doing is not
right. No one asks for a dowry twice.”
Others also echoed his sentiment.
Even the bystanders supported him.
However, Belinda paid no attention to their gazes. She stood tall and declared, “When I asked for the
dowry in the past, Ryder was perfectly fine. But now he’s disabled! I should demand at least another
70,000! No! Today, you must give me 140 thousand. Otherwise, my family will have no future!”
What on earth?!
Good lord!

Everyone felt that if Ryder gave her 140 thousand, she would probably continue to increase the
amount!
“This… this is not right! How can a wedding be like this?”
Ryder, an honest man, could no longer sit still. If he weren’t paralyzed, he would have stood up in
anger.
Alessandra was not originally included among the groomsmen. According to their customs, she was
not supposed to be present. However, after witnessing this scene, she couldn’t help but speak up.
“Mrs. Zimmerman, we had previously agreed upon the dowry amount. You accepted our 70,000 dowry,
and now you’re asking for 140 thousand. Isn’t this clearly a trap?”.
Her words were already very polite. If someone with a more fiery temperament were present, they
would probably be cursing at Belinda by now.
“Hmph! Whether you give it or not is up to you! If you don’t, you can go back where you came from!”
Belinda raised her hand with a smug expression.
After all, they had already received the dowry, and if Ryder couldn’t afford the final payment, they would
still profit!
No matter how they approached this deal, they would come out ahead.
