    Chapter 216


    Regardless of whom she married, it would be a union between the Coles and Seymours


    Nheless, why did Dorian keep calling her “wife as if he was certain that she would eventually marry


    him? Just moments ago in the study, Jay talked to her about her marriage with


    Reuben


    Jay turned to re fiercely at Dorian sternly reprimanding him, “Shut up!”


    Then he replied to Kevan. “Of course, she will marry Reuben. Don’t parents have the most say in


    marriage? Mr. and Mrs. Seymour and myself have already agreed to Larissa and Reuben’s marriage.


    Larissa herself also has intentions-”


    “No, no, no, Mr. Cole, Larissa interrupted him. That was before. The situation has changed now”


    She put her head on Kevan’s shoulder and smiled sweetly.


    “Kevan here is willing to give a dowry of ten million dors! And it will be deposited directly into my


    ount. Compared to your installment n of five million dors


    She bit her lip, keeping the insult that followed to herself


    Jay’s face turned red as a tomato. Turning to Xavier and Yvette, he fumed, “You two, figure out


    what to do!”


    “You must marry Reuben,” Yvette said to Larissa.


    If Larissa didn’t marry Reuben, Lana would have no chance with Kevan. Hence, she had to pave the


    way for Lana’s future. If Lana had a good life, Yvette would have a good life too Larissa, on the other


    hand, had nothing to do with her


    Xavier nodded in agreement. While he didn’t know about Yvette and Lana’s n, he had his own


    considerations. Although Kevan’s dowry of ten million dors was generous, it would be deposited into


    Larissa’s ount, and he wouldn’t benefit from it at all.


    On the other hand, even if the entire five million dors in dowry from the Coles was deposited in


    Larissa’s ount, there would be a guaranteed deal between the twopanies should Larissa agree


    to the marriage, and the profits following that would be endless.


    “Fine.” Larissa didn’t refuse, but she raised the stakes, “The dowry must be higher than ten million and


    paid in full at once.”


    Jay didn’t respond to her words, continuing to pressure Xavier and Yvette with his eyes.


    “Larissa, you’re going too far!” Yvette warned her, “You’re getting married, not selling yourself!”


    “Isn’t a forced marriage selling myself?” Larissa asked with a sneer. I’ll be sold in the end anyway. It’s


    better for everyone topete fairly, and the highest bidder wins!”


    As soon as she finished speaking, Kevan raised the offer. “Then I’ll give twenty million.” His expression


    remained calm, showing no signs of disgust or aversion.


    Lana had never expected that he would react like that as she was certain he would leave and


    sever ties with Larissa. However, he was willing to endure such humiliation for Larissa Lana felt bad for


    him


    Larissa’s smile grew even brighter as she shouted like an auctioneer, “Twenty million dors. Calling


    once, calling twice…”


    She deliberately dragged thest syble, giving Jay a chance to counteroffer.


    As Jay trembled with anger, Annabell gently stroked his chest to calm him down, whispering in his ear,


    “Twenty million dors can get you any woman. There’s no need to endure such. humiliation here.”


    Three months ago, when Jay married Annabell, he had spent no more than a million dors on


    everything Hence, Annabell disagreed that Jay should give Larissa a dowry of twenty million
