Kyle Kinston coldly looked at Evelina, "Do you really qualify to receive this bride price?"
Evelina was suddenly alarmed, feeling as if the man before her knew something. No... impossible, apart from my deceased husband, no one should know about this secret. "You... what do you mean by that, and... is that any way to speak to your elder?"
"Elder?" Kyle Kinston suddenly took two steps forward, approaching Evelina, then bent over, whispering into her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Typically, many of my elders have already gone to the grave. For instance, those elders from the Kinston Family, my grandparents, my parents, all were my elders, yet all are dead. Do you still want to be my elder?"
Evelina was instantly horrified, filled with fear. "You... you..." She opened her mouth for a long time but couldn’t manage a coherent sentence.
Kyle Kinston smiled, but his eyes grew colder. "You might as well tell me, do you really want this bride price so badly?"
Evelina’s body hair stood on end, as she suddenly had a feeling that if she took this bride price, she might not live to spend it!
Even though the other party hadn’t said anything particularly threatening, the feeling was very strong.
Evelina almost fled in panic, and only then did Kyle Kinston turn to Mabel Quinn, "Are you okay?"
Mabel Quinn shook her head, "You’re amazing, just a few words and she left. If you hadn’t come, I bet my mom would have kept pestering for a while longer."
"Next time your mom bothers you again, just tell me, and I’ll help you deal with it," Kyle Kinston said.
"Okay." Mabel Quinn smiled and then walked over to Alice Conley, "Alice, thank you." If it weren’t for her friend calling Kyle, he wouldn’t have arrived so promptly.
"Oh, it was nothing, really." Alice Conley waved it off and then reminded her, "But... are you planning to continue standing here with Mr. Kinston?"
Reminded by her friend, Mabel Quinn realized that many colleagues were still gathered around, watching her and Kyle Kinston.
Inadvertently, she and Kyle had become like pandas being watched by all.
"Alright, I’m leaving now." Kyle Kinston dotingly ruffled Mabel Quinn’s hair.
"Okay, I’ll go back after work." Mabel Quinn gave a soft smile, so sweet that Alice Conley felt her teeth were hurting from the sweetness.
After Kyle Kinston left, Alice Conley said, "Mr. Kinston was really impressive just now. Your mom was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw him. But then, about what your mom said about the household register, what do you plan to do?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fire.net
Mabel Quinn furrowed her brows, "My mom wants to use the household register to exchange for money. If I don’t give her money, I’m afraid she won’t hand it over."
"Are you going to give it to her?" Alice Conley asked. Having such a mother, she felt it was unfair for her friend, and felt even more fortunate to have good parents, despite their little flaws, they loved her greatly.
Mabel Quinn shook her head, "I don’t want to give it to her, especially since the money isn’t mine, but Kyle’s. How can I use his money to satisfy my mother’s greed? It doesn’t make sense."
"Then what about your wedding?"
Mabel Quinn thought for a moment, "Kyle should have a way."
