Chapter 439 A Dowry of Five Hundred Million (Part One)


    "You... Don''t push me. How dare you say I am a lousy wife?" Yakira was not pleased to hear that. How


    could someone insult her like this? Her anger lit up immediately.


    "I''m just giving the term to whoever''s yapping. And, Mr. Ouyang, whatever happened today, I don''t want


    to see something like this ever again. I will let it slide owing to our past rtionship, but please


    remember, Daisy is a member of the Mu family. No one should mess with her. Even though you are her


    father, I''d still advise you to stay away if she doesn''t want you around."


    Jonathan''s lips tightened. This was the first time that he had argued for the sake of someone else. Ever


    since he returned to S City, "first times" like this were adding up every so often. He was not sure when


    he would get sucked into that warm family atmosphere.


    "Mr. Mu, aren''t you being a little rash with your words. Even though she''s married into the Mu family,


    she''s still the daughter of the Ouyang family. As I remember, my daughter was married, not sold."


    Even the most harmless kitten would extend its sharp ws if a tiger kept provoking it. So when Leo


    heard Jonathan''s insolent warning, he couldn''t help but counter with a deration of his own ego.


    "Oh? You didn''t sell her? Then how do you exin the hundreds of millions that FX International Group


    invested in Ouyang Foreign Trade?" Jonathan frowned, his sharp gaze was intensely aimed at Leo. If


    Jonathan hadn''t paid five hundred million to have Daisy married into the Mu family, Leo wouldn''t have


    been so eager to make peace with Daisy back then.


    Daisy was shaken by the mention of the hundreds of millions. Earlier, she had ensured Jessica that she


    didn''t fall in love with Edward because of his money, but now she had lost that confidence. It turned out


    that Daisy was not that different from women like Jessica. In fact, she had been even worse. Jessica at


    least knew how much she was worth, but Daisy had been totally oblivious to the truth. She was so


    naive and gullible. Not only was she banished from her family, but they betrayed her and sold her. This


    was the whole reality of her life, filled with dark and hidden forces. What would she do next? Daisy was


    afraid that she would hear even more soul-crushing truths.


    "What hundreds of millions? I''ve never heard about this. Mr. Mu, are you trying to extort me?" Leo was


    totally confused by Jonathan''s words. Yakira handled everything when Daisy got married to Edward.


    Leo didn''t participate in any of it. He was only responsible for getting to Daisy through the phone and


    had no idea of how everything else went on.


    "Then you should talk to Mrs. Ouyang about it. After all, we signed the check, and nobody can deny


    that! There are records at the bank." Jonathan let out a sinisterugh. He realized what had happened


    and decided to wait for the Ouyang family to tear itself apart from the inside. He didn''t have to do


    anything. However, Jonathan couldn''t help but admire Yakira who was bold enough to pocket that


    much money. The woman was indeed a force to be reckoned with!


    "What do we have to talk about? I never took your five hundred million." Yakira tried to hide her growing


    anxiety. She didn''t expect that the topic would change to Daisy''s dowry money. She was surprised that


    Jonathan would go this far to ruin her. She had secretly transferred the money into her personal


    ount, and she didn''t even tell Mary for the fear that the girl would bber it in front of someone and


    reveal the truth. Yakira was not prepared with a suitable defense when Jonathan brought up the topic


    after all these years.


    "Oh? If you never took it, then how did you know we gave out five hundred million?" When it came to


    being devious, Jonathan was much superior to his son. No one couldpare to his slyness. With just


    a few words, he had easily set the Ouyang couple''s rtionship on top of a burning me.


    "I just guessed a random number. The way I see it, you havee here today to scheme against me.


    So any number I say would be the right number for you, wouldn''t it?" Yakira gritted her teeth and red


    at Jonathan. She med herself for her stupidity. She managed to inadvertently fall into the hole that


    he had dug out for her. Now she was in an awkward position because she knew Leo would give her a


    thorough grilling because of her answer. And that unbelievably enormous amount of money would be


    taken back by Leo. Yakira thought this was all Daisy''s fault; why would the bitch draw over a nasty


    figure like Jonathan Mu to her side?


    "Scheming against you? That''s not necessary. Do you really believe that I have enough spare time to


    y such petty games with you?" Jonathan smirked coldly. There was a faint smile on his cruel yet


    handsome face, but before it could reach his eyes, it disappeared without a trace. The fleeting smile


    fully exhibited his mischievous personality. The expression was quite a spellbinding sight for the

    afternoon.


    "Yakira, don''t you think it''s time for you to tell me exactly what the hell is going on?" Leo was aware that


    the woman was greedy, but he tried very hard to hold onto his marriage since he didn''t want to


    acknowledge what a terrible mistake he had made by marrying her. Leo didn''t want to be a


    subject of vicious rumors. Despite what was going on in his personal life, he always maintained a


    reputable and presentable facade. But, he could never imagine that she would dare to keep as much


    as five hundred million all for herself. Leo had to admit that he didn''t really know Yakira, his own wife.


    "I... Don''t believe his nonsense! I don''t have five hundred million. He''s trying to put us against each


    other. Can''t you see that he is trying to take Daisy''s revenge because you pped her?" Today, Yakira


    realized that she had made a colossal mistake by crossing Daisy. Otherwise, the secret that had been


    hidden for so many years wouldn''t have been revealed by Jonathan, a man crammed with viciousness


    and deviance. She couldn''t figure out how a man at his age could retain the looks of a handsome


    young man. Was he even human? Just the thought of that possibility gave Yakira a chill.


    "Rumors don''t start for no reason; there''s no smoke without fire. If you didn''t do it, why would he say


    so?" Although Leo hated Jonathan''s overbearing manner, he still knew Jonathan to be an ethical man


    after all these years of association. So Leo was convinced that a man as proud as Jonathan would


    never make something up like this. Besides, Jonathan was smart enough to know that there was no


    need for him to y dirty tricks for achieving his goals.
