Chapter 454


    Jacob was still feeling a bit out of sorts. All he wanted was to get a little closer, to bridge the gap


    between them. How did it turn into offering a whole dowry? Connor''s piercing gaze was fixed on


    him. Jacob coughed, feeling slightly guilty. The matter of the dowry hadn''t even crossed his mind.


    He had, however, wondered about how much the Sartori family would offer as a bride price. But


    Jacob could understand that the Sartori family, being the wealthiest in Eldridge City, had their own


    dignity to uphold. He definitely couldn''t let the Sartori family be embarrassed. Jacob gritted his


    teeth, “Look, rest assured, Chloe is the precious daughter of the Meadows family. Naturally, I''ll


    prepare a generous dowry for her so she can marry into the Sartori family in style.” In Jacob''s mind,


    no matter the dowry size. A family as affluent as the Sartoris would only offer more, not less.

    Leah had just brought over some wine. Jacob was about to invite everyone to start eating when he


    suddenly realized Lisa was missing. Jacob frowned, “Where’s Lisa?” “I’ve been busy in the kitchen,


    I didn’t notice.” “How can she be so irresponsible? I already told her Chloe wasing home


    today. Why isn''t she here yet?” Leah stood up, “I’ll go call her.” Suddenly, a voice came from the


    door, “Dad, Mom, I’m here.” Everyone’s gaze shifted to the entrance. Lisa was dressed in a sexy


    little ck dress, her makeup exquisite, clearly having taken great care in her appearance. She was


    even wearing a pair of ck high heels. Jacob frowned, “Why are you dressed like that at home?”


    Lisa exined, “Dad, I just came back from outside, remember? Today was the birthday party of


    Miss Chen, I just came back from there.” Jacob knew Lisa hadn’t gone out today. But calling her out


    on it would only embarrass himself. He just red at her, then said irritably, “Your sister Chloe and


    your brother-inw are here, and you haven''t even greeted them.” Lisa sauntered over. Her gaze


    swept over Chloe and she mockingly said, “Chloe hasn’t been home for so long, I thought she’d


    climbed the socialdder and looked down on our family.” Chloe’s response was indifferent, “I felt


    like insulting someone today, just not you.” It took Lisa a moment to realize Chloe was indirectly


    insulting her. Her face turned extremely sour. But quickly, she walked over to Connor’s side.


    “Brother-inw, look at Chloe, I was just joking, and she gets all witty. Anyway, I can’t win against


    Chloe.” Lisa’s tone was whiny, even a bit coquettish. Chloe felt goosebumps all over.


    After finishing, Lisa tried to sit next to Connor. But Connor immediately said, “Don’te near me,


    I’m a germaphobe.” Lisa’s face was left with nothing but embarrassment. Jacob also felt that this


    daughter was reallycking manners. He quickly ordered, “Go sit over there, don’t embarrass me.”


    Lisa was furious but had to sit at the spot farthest from Connor. It was only then that she realized


    what Connor''s words meant. Her anger soared instantly. He’s a germaphobe, so why can’t she sit


    next to him? Was she some kind of filth? Why could Chloe be so close to him? Lisa clenched her


    teeth, but at that moment, she couldn’tsh out.
