“That’s not all, right? You still need to apologize to him!” William said.


    “Fine, I’ll apologize if it makes you happy. Having seven and a half million is going to make our life a


    whole lot better in the future. Unlike during the past few years, I won’t have to think twice before buying


    something!” Felicia said Indifferently.


    Megan, who was on one side, still had a bitter face. “But, I don’t want to wash his feet! Gah, why was I


    so stupid to bet with him at the time? Damn it! I was so overwhelmed with anger that I didn’t consider


    the possibility that he might resort to selling the house!”


    Having said that, Megan thought of something again, and could not help but smirk. “Then again, he


    might not necessarily be sessful. We’ve set a deadline for him anyway, and when ites to


    matters rting to the sale of a house, it’s unlikely that he’ll be able to sell it off within a month. And


    besides, the house is very expensive too, so there’s still a chance we might not lose!”


    After William heard that, he reminded her, “Do you even know what sort of house that is? It’s a symbol


    of status like all the other houses there! Ordinary houses might not be so easy to sell, but the houses


    there are in high demand. Once it’s listed for sale, God knows how many people will scramble to get


    their hands on it. Your grandma might even join the long list of buyers too! It won’t even take a month. I


    give it two or three days at most. As long as the house has been listed for sale, it will most certainly be


    sold!”


    “Ah! Does that mean I’m doomed to lose!” Megan looked depressed. “Is there still time for me to go


    back on my word? If word gets out that I washed the feet of a country bumpkin, all my friends willugh


    at me! How am I supposed to show myself in public next time?”


    Felicia knocked Megan’s forehead and said, “Are you stupid? Don’t you know that ‘cash is king“? Have


    you forgotten how people looked down on us when we had no money to spend in thest few years?


    Just wash his feet and be done with it. It’s not as if we’ll tell the whole world about what you did, so


    don’t get so worked up about it! Once I get the money, I’ll immediately give you a hundred and fifty


    thousand for you to spend!”


    “That’s all? Why can’t I get one and a half million right away?” Megan pouted at the paltry sum of a-


    hundred–and–fifty–thousand dors. “He wouldn’t have bragged about being able to give you a seven–


    and–a–half–million–dor dowry if I hadn’t helped you provoke him today.”


    William smiled wryly in response to their discussions and shook his head. “Neither of you has gotten


    the money yet and you’re already thinking about sharing it? I just realized something: Mister Henry


    might have given Severin the house, but does Severin have the right to sell it off? What if Mister Henry


    disagrees?*


    Felicia did not share his view. “Why would he disagree? He gave it to Severin as a gift. That means


    Severin is now the rightful owner, and he’s free to sell the house if he wants. You don’t think Mister


    Henry will ask for the house back? The Longhorns are a first–tier family with an abundance of cash. It’d


    be shameful of them to ask for the house back. Even if Mister Henry isn’t happy to see Severin sell it,


    all he can do is keep it to himself. Make sense?”


    As they were about to walk to the door of their vi, they ran into Catherine and Stanley who were


    coming in their direction.

    Catherine frowned upon seeing Felicia and her family. “I thought you went to pick Diane up and bring


    her back? Why is it only the three of you? Where are Diane and Severin?”


    When Felicia heard the olddy asking her that question, she immediately frowned and looked at


    William. “I’ll let you t–t–tell her!” William’s lips twitched a few times, wondering why Felicia seemed so


    meek when she was usually a very headstrong woman.


    He smiled awkwardly. “Diane…she…umm…she said she won’te back unless you’re the one who


    fetched her back!”


    Felicia raised her head awkwardly and smiled while adding, “In addition to that, she also said that she


    wants you to apologize to her before shees back!”


    “She wants me to pick her up? And she’s demanding an apology from me?” After hearing that,


    Catherine drove the crutch in her hand angrily to the ground. “Looks like I have to beg her toe


    back! Who does she think she is? She should be grateful I didn’t hold anything against her for giving


    birth to that b*stard child. Does she genuinely want an old woman like me to apologize to her? Well,


    she can keep dreaming!”


    “Diane is utterly shameless!” Stanley remarked. “Ignore her, Grandma. Let her be if she enjoys living in


    that crappy house with Severin. I think she’s secretly a masochist. Think about it, who’d want to live the


    poor life when you have the chance to have a good one?”


    Stanley was overjoyed to hear that. He had been worried that Diane mighte back and vie with him


    for the family property, so it came as a relief that Diane would much prefer to live a life of humiliation.
