Chapter 792
However, all Peter felt was how ridiculous it was. He hadn’t even invested in it and he already said that it was “our
development project”. The old man was quite thick-skinned.
“What do you think about it, Peter?” Mr. Thomas asked as he rubbed his hands, looking at Peter like a gold mine.
Peter remembered that little girl that had run around behind him since he was little.
“Three million dollars shall be the bride price, then,” he said calmly.
Mr. Thomas opened his eyes wide and he was almost going to jump out of pure glee.
He was already prepared to wear him down with more speeches, but he didn’t expect the boy to be so obedient!
“However, this is after Britney and I are officially wedded,” Peter added and looked at him with his deep eyes.
“Of course! We never had any problems with your marriage. You can get your marriage certificate tomorrow if you
want!” Mr. Thomas happily got up and walked away, wanting to tell his wife about the good news.
It wasn’t long after Mr. Thomas left when Esme walked in with bags in her hands.

Esme sat opposite him and quietly asked, “Why did you promise to give him that much money?”
“To marry you. That’s the bride price to the family,” Peter said with a fake smile.
“But they’re not my real parents!” Esme said with a pale face as if she was the one paying them!
“What? you want me to give the money to Mr. and Mrs. Manning?” Peter said in disdain. “Are you and your parents
worth that much?”
“And Britney’s parents are worth it?” Esme said angrily, even her expression became twisted. When Peter looked at
the face of this “Britney”, he suddenly felt his stomach getting upset.
“Britney, what do you want to eat tonight?” Mrs. Thomas came over and asked happily. “What about you, Peter?”
“I’m going out to dinner with Peter! Don’t worry about it.” Esme dragged Peter’s arm and pulled him up.
Mrs. Thomas was startled. “But I already promised Peter that we’ll have dinner together at home today.”
“You’re so unromantic, woman!” Mr. Thomas quickly ran over and pulled Mrs. Thomas away, and then waved his
hand toward his daughter and future son-in-law.
“Just go out and eat! Eat whatever you want! Britney, remember to pay for it, alright? I’ll reimburse you for it!”
Esme faked a smile and dragged Peter out.
Once they were in the car, she immediately said, “I refuse to let you give that old man 3 million dollars!”
“Do I need to discuss with you how to use my money?” Peter said as he started the car, his expression cold.
“You’re marrying me, not Britney Thomas! Why are you giving them so much money?!” The more Esme thought
about it, the angrier she became. “Peter, are you feeling remorseful? So, you want to buy some peace of mind by
giving them money?”
Peter gripped the steering wheel tightly as he stepped on the accelerator.
Esme hadn’t even put on the seat belt and her body was bending forward. She screamed as she held onto the
handrail tightly.
“What are you doing?!”
“I’m just reminding you to remember who you are,” Peter said icily. “You’re Britney Thomas. There’s nothing wrong
for the son-in-law to finance his father-in-law’s investment.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I never thought that you could be so generous! You’re giving Britney’s father a large sum of money because she’s
dead! You don’t feel that old man is disgusting at all?”
“No matter how disgusting he is, he is not as disgusting as you!” Peter sneered.
Esme was so angry that her face was turning red. After she put on the seat belt, she stared right at Peter. “If you
give that old man 3 million, what about me? How much will you give me since I’m marrying you?!”
Peter snorted. “We’re husband and wife. I won’t starve you as long as I have something to eat.”
“Peter… I gave up everything to marry you and leave with you! This is how you’re treating me?!” Esme wailed.
Peter was getting a headache because of her wailing, so he stopped the car by the curbside and glared at her
viciously.
“You better figure things out better!” He grabbed Esme’s collar and pulled her over to him. ” The only reason I’m
marrying you is because you have my child in your womb!”
Esme stared at him with wide eyes. “You’re not like this in the past!”
“You’ve disgusted me a lot of times already!” The hand that Peter was holding her collar let go, but it went for her
throat instead.
