Chapter 307


    “That’s good to hear.” Victoria looked relieved. “I made some watermelon jam. Do you want some,


    Lily?” she asked me.


    “Everything is fine. I had dinnerte today, so I’m not hungry.”


    “I’ll get you some then, Ms. Hamilton.” She looked at Jolene.


    “Thank you, Victoria.” Jolene agreed.


    I went into the bedroom a moment after that, and Carson followed. “Something is wrong, honey.” He


    looked somber.


    “What is it?”


    “I think this whole dowry thing is a scam


    “Huh?” I pretended to be shocked. “How do you know it’s a fake, honey?”


    “Lily, I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, and nothing makes sense. If the guy really loves Eliza,


    why would he care if she has any dowries or not?”


    “So Eliza won’t be mocked?”


    “And you buy this? If that’s the case, why didn’t he just secretly give her the money? Since he is so


    rich, he doesn’t need the dowry. There must be something wrong.”


    Oh, no wonder this scoundrel didn’t want to pay the dowry, so he knew that man was just like him. In


    the beginning, he came to me because he had a goal and now he suspects that someone else has


    sighed. “Honey, why don’t you find that guy to see what he’s like?”


    “I did.”


    “Serious? When? What’s he like?”


    “He is a gentleman, drives a nice car and lives in a nice house, but I think something is wrong with

    him.”


    “Are you worried that he’ll mistreat Eliza after they’re married? So get a prenuptial,” I suggested.


    “I have the same idea, but I think I should investigate this further. Eliza isn’ting home soon, so we


    can save that forter. If there is nothing wrong with him, then we can talk about her dowry.”


    Now that Carson decided to look into it, that whore’s n would eventually fail. After all, you can’t hide


    an elephant in a mouse hole. Besides, Carson wasn’t someone who would say something like that if he


    didn’t find out anything. Was that whore exposed? I wondered.


    I was disappointed. I thought there would be more drama now, but it was over before the first act even


    started. Even so, I reminded him, “Yes, you should look into this, but keep it a secret, or they would be


    upset if they found out.”


    “Do not worry, dear. I will be careful.” As he spoke, Carson hugged me. “I really missed you when you


    weren’t around, honey. So why not us…”
