“There’s no harm in keeping quiet, is there, Megan? Why are you getting all angry with the


    bodyguards?” Felicia chided when she saw that Diane and Severin were not very pleased with what


    happened.


    She smiled at them, recalled the reason for their visit, and said to Severin, “I’m sure you remember the


    bet we made, right?”


    Severin had a grin on his face as he answered immediately, “Of course. But it’s only been two or three


    days though. Are you all getting overly anxious? I’ve assured you that the seven-and-a-half million


    dowry will be ready for you within a month!”

    In response, Felicia hurriedly said, “No, no, that’s not it. We didn’te here to rush you. There’s just


    one other thing that we need to tell you!”


    “And what’s this ‘other thing’?” Severin frowned and was slightly puzzled.


    Felicia paused briefly before saying, “Our previous bet remains the same, but we’re adding another


    extra condition!”


    “Another extra condition? What do you mean by that?” Severin’s face soured. “A bet takes effect when


    both parties epted the initial conditions, and no changing of the terms is allowed. Are you guys


    deliberately trying to make things difficult for me because you know I’d win?”


    Diane felt that they were being very unjust toward Severin and immediately said to Felicia, “You can’t


    just change the terms as you please, Mom? The agreement was seven and a half million. Are you now


    telling us that it’s too little?”


    “Hehe, not at all. Seven-and-a-half million is plenty! I would never dream of having so much money!


    Felicia chuckled. “The extra condition that I wish to add is that you’re not allowed to sell this vi to


    raise money for the dowry. Is that fair?”


    “I’m not allowed to sell the vi?” Severin had a puzzled expression on his face. He never intended to


    sell the vi at all. It was a very good piece of property that was located in a strategic ce and was


    also rtively quiet. There was no reason for him to sell it, especially since it was given to him by


    Henry as a token of appreciation. If he sold it off, then it would be tantamount to a massive show of


    disrespect. Should that happen, then other people might think of him as someone who likes to take


    advantage of others.


    “That’s right!” Felicia immediately reasoned. “Where are you going to live if you sell it? Mister Henry


    gave it to you as a gesture of thanks. Selling it is like pping Mister Henry in the face! Besides, I don’t


    want my daughter to live in a run-down house after marrying you. You need to give us the dowry


    without selling this vi!”


    “Yes. If you want to win the bet with me, you’ll have to fork out more money!” Megan said triumphantly.


    “If you can’t, you’ll leave Diane so that she can be with a rich kid like Edward. Even though Edward


    didn’t offer as much money as you did for the dowry, but he can always take out more if he wants. You,


    on the other hand, are probably just bragging! More importantly, Edward is the Horsfields’ only son, so I


    take it you’re smart enough to know what that means.”


    “Don’t worry. I never intended to sell this vi in the first ce!” Severin chuckled, and said directly to


    Felicia, “Why should I when this ce is sofortable to live in? If I sold this ce off, where will my


    family live in the future? I don’t want my wife to stay in a ce that’s worse than here! Don’t worry


    about the money for the dowry. You’ll get it.”


    Felicia was starting to lose herposure a little when Severin said that. Although she lived in a vi


    with her husband and her daughter, it was just a small townhouse that paled far in


    <pparison to Severin’s vi.
