Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 839

Fear started to creep inside Mrs. Jacob's heart.

The man's frigid and sharp gazes were spooky.

She didn't dare to look at him.

Was it because she asked for such a high price that he was not willing to give it? Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

He was from the big city. How could he be so stingy?

Upon thinking of this, Mrs. Jacob snorted, "If you don't have the money, stop pestering Elaine. My girl is so beautiful and many people want her..."

"I'll give you the money and take her away. From now on, you are not allowed to contact her."

Vincent uttered.

Astounded at first, Mrs. Jacob shrieked in surprise, "You look like a rich man to me. Our Elaine is so pretty, she's worth ten million dollars!"

She was grinning ear to ear. "If you give me the money today, you can take Elaine, and I promise you, we won't contact her anymore!"

As soon as she finished saying that, Elaine's voice echoed from behind them, "What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Jacob looked back. She didn't know when Elaine came out and how much she had heard.

Regardless, she would know it sooner or later anyway.

Thus, her mother pulled her and gushed, "My dear, be with him and you'll live a good life. I hope you don't forget us."

Maybe they could rely on her to be rich.

Therefore, her mother said to Elaine kindly, "Stay for dinner, and I'll ask Zoe to clean up the room so that you can stay the night if you want to."

"What are you talking about? Mom, did you ask him for money?" Elaine held back her anger and asked again.

"Watch your tongue. I didn't ask him for money. You don't have to make it sound so nasty."

Elaine sneered. Her mother's words and actions were nastier, and she had the nerve to ask her not to speak in such an unpleasant manner? "Did you try to sell me again?"

She emphasized on the word "again" because that was her mother's modus operand!.

The reason why she was engaged to Allen was entirely because of her parents.

They had debt that they couldn't afford, so Allen came forward to give them money.

His only condition was to marry her.

Back then, her parents had agreed to his term without hesitation.

So now Elaine felt that they must have come up with the same way to get the money.

In their eyes, she was probably a valuable asset as they could trade her for money.

There was no emotion at all in her face as she said faintly, "I came back to take my bag, that's all."

"What's the hurry? You can put the bag at home. We won't touch it." Her mother said with a smile, "Just stay at home. I'll cook for you every day..."

"No thanks."

She refused directly, "I'll be leaving in the afternoon."

"Leave?" Her mother was taken aback. "Where are you going?"

Why did she have to leave so urgently? She hadn't gotten the money yet. It was a lot of money. It would take some time just to do the transfer.

"I'm leaving here and never come back. You, Zoe, and Paul can live a good life together." Expressionless, Elaine said in a flat tone, "I've given you enough money all these years. If you can save up some of the money and do some business with it, you may probably earn some money for yourself. But you, you spend them all. I won't give you money in the future, not even a penny. I have done my duty. Do whatever you want."

"What?!"

Seeing that she was not joking, her mother became a little anxious. "What do you mean? You won't come back?"

"Yes, not only will I not come back in the future, but also he won't give you money. Don't even think about it."

With that, she pointed to Vincent.

He narrowed his eyes.

Her mother became even more anxious. "No way! He just said that he would give me money. If he doesn't, I won't let you go!"

She sneered, "I can go wherever I want. Do you want to lock me up?"

"Yes, I'm going to lock you up! I'm your mother!" With that, she went to pull Elaine's hand.

To which Elaine shook her off with all her might.

Mrs. Jacob extended her hands at Elaine again, but Vincent's casual voice with a hint of warning resonated, "Did you forget the pain just now?"

Stunned, she froze in horror.

Meanwhile, Elaine turned around and left.

Glancing at her back, his lips curled into a smile as he followed her.

Seeing that she was about to lose a million dollars, Mrs. Jacob sat on the floor and grabbed Vincent's leg. "You can't leave! You said that you're gonna give me the money! Give it to me now!"

Vincent frowned in dismay.

Elaine felt as if she was slapped across the face.

She was not angry when she heard her mother said that she wanted to sell her or when she wanted to lock her up.

However, her mother's bashful attitude right now made her feel embarrassed.

"Mum, what are you doing? Get up!" Zoe went up to pull her mother up with a pitiful expression on her face. "Mr. Bradbury, my mother is getting old. Can you be considerate of her..."

After that, she looked at Elaine and sobbed, "Elaine, you should be nice to Mom. Even if she did something wrong before, she is still your mother."

As long as she could let them stay, Zoe was convinced that she would be able to make Vincent fall head over heels for her.

Hence, she wouldn't mind pretending to be nice to

Elaine for now.

Why didn't she meet such a good man?

What kind of luck did that Elaine sl*t have to know a rich man like him?!

Enraged, Elaine snapped, "What are you doing? Get up!"

Seeing that her pestering was effective, she became smug and continued with her act. "You can leave, but before that, give me the mo..."

"Ah!"

Before she could finish her words, she was kicked away.

Clutching her painful chest, Mrs. Jacob glared at Vincent in disbelief.

Vincent withdrew his leg and said indifferently, "I'm sorry, my leg is cramping."

Elaine muffled her giggle.

He was notoriously known to be impatient and rough. No one could predict his temper and emotion.

If she had been them, she would have run away long ago and would not have been so ignorant as to provoke him.

Zoe was also shocked by what happened. She didn't expect him to kick an older person...

Had he no limits?

At this moment, a voice came from downstairs. It was Lorenzo. "Open the door. Why do you close the door at this hour?"

He might have brought the keys with him. After cursing for a while, he opened the door by himself.

Before he came up, Mrs. Jacob shouted, "Lorenzo, come quick, I've been beaten!"

"What? Did those punks come again today?" When Lorenzo heard this, he not only did not come up, but also wanted to run away.

Mrs. Jacob felt a sharp pain in her chest. "It's not them. It's a man who came with Elaine!"

After a while, Lorenzo slowly walked up the stairs, narrowed his eyes at the man beside Elaine, and asked, "Is the car outside yours?"

He looked greedy, like a vampire.

Everyone in this family was a vampire.

Looking at her father coldly, Elaine jabbed, "Dad, look at Mom. Why don't you help her up?"

Clearing his throat awkwardly, Lorenzo went to his wife pretentiously and said, "Are you alright?"

As he helped his wife up, Mrs. Jacob whispered, "This man promised to give us one million dollars.

He can't leave until he gives us the money!"
