Female Novel
Chapter 1268
Having taken a special liking to the small farms in the countryside, Lorraine paced around the backyarda few times and even said that she would like to have a small yard to plant her own vegetables.
Next to her, Old Mr. Jefferson snorted. “Forget it. Are you sure you’ll have the time to take care of it?You’ll only hand it over to the servants in the end.”
Clicking her tongue, she agreed. “That may be true.”
Her days were usually busy, and if she really had a small yard, she wouldn’t have the energy left totake care of it.
Staring at the small yard, Old Mr. Jefferson sighed. “When we were poor in the past, we used to have asmall yard for vegetables too, and your mother would sometimes pull a small cart to sell the vegetableson the streets. Money wasn’t worth that much back then, and vegetables as well because almost everyfamily was producing it. There were times when she would earn less than two bucks after spending thewhole day sitting on the roadside.”
Letting out a deep, long sigh, he pressed his lips into a thin line and shook his head, reminiscing thepast.
Then, Logan placed an arm around Lola’s shoulder and said, “Mom spent the hardest days with you,but she didn’t manage to pull through until the good days.”
With a sigh, the old man lamented, “That’s true. I’ve let her down the most in this life.”
This topic was a little saddening, and Lola didn’t know what she should say.
When it was about time, Fiona started cooking with the ingredients she had prepared in the kitchen inthe morning. Soon, Lola came in to help out.
In the kitchen, Fiona scanned around, and when she was sure that none of the Jeffersons werearound, she whispered, “Did Logan mention anything about the bridal price to you?”
Startled because she didn’t like the topic, Lola asked, “How much do you guys want?”
Fiona’s eyes darted toward the kitchen entrance again before answering, “What do you mean by that?They were the ones who brought it up during the discussions earlier. I’m still shocked by the amount.Your dad and I are wondering if we had heard wrongly.”
Taken aback, she asked in return, “Why? How much did they mention?”
While gesturing with her fingers, Fiona replied, “It’s a seven-figure sum.”
A seven-figure sum? Lola thought. novelbin
Initially, Fiona didn’t realize how many zeros she should have at the back of the number. When she andLangdon first heard it, they were stupefied, sitting there frozen for a long while; she even counted withher fingers under the table.
And that huge amount of money was merely the bridal price. Lorraine even added that other expenseswould be excluded, and she assured them that Logan and Lola would be treated well as none of the
sisters wanted any of the Jeffersons’ properties; all of them would be given to Logan.
At this point, Fiona couldn’t process just how much are the Jeffersons’ properties worth because theseven-figure bridal price had already knocked her out. The sum was so huge that it would cause acolossal commotion in the village if they found out about it.
Previously, Shawn’s ex-girlfriend had asked for a bridal price of tens of thousands, but his family wasunagreeable to it. In the end, they had to break up the couple.
This was why it would shock everyone else if they knew about this seven-digit bridal price.
Lola was astounded as well, but she recollected herself quicker than her mother because she knewthat Logan’s family was rich and this sum was considered next to nothing to them.
“Alright, I got it,” she said with a nod.
Fiona’s eyes widened. “Do you understand what I’m telling you? Did you hear how much they’re givingus?”
As she cleaned the vegetables, Lola answered casually, “I know that they’re a wealthy family. Thisamount of money isn’t a big deal for them.”
Taking in a sharp breath, Fiona asked her daughter, “How did you manage to meet such a wealthyman, my child?”
