Chapter 570

Expensive Dowry

Daniella looked at Crayson with pleading eyes as if she wanted him to seize control of the situation. In
the eyes of the couple, he was considered as a member of the Murphys and also their big brother.
Whenever they encountered any tricky decisions, they would always seek Crayson’s advice.

“You’re her parents, so you have the authority to make the decision.” The old man sipped on his tea
casually and was seemingly unbothered, but Matthew could vaguely figure out what was on his mind.

“Oh, you don’t have to rush things through. Veronica and Matthew have only been dating for over a
year, and we are now expecting a child and a wedding! We should be grateful for this double blessing.
Hahaha…” Elizabeth said cheerfully, pointing to Matthew. “Don’t be fooled by this stinky boy who
appears cold on the outside. He’s actually very thoughtful. I can tell he really loves Veronica.”

“It’s fate that they met among billions of people. It’s truly a blessing when two people form genuine
feelings for each other and that doesn’t happen every day. Don’t we all want our children to live happily
ever after? Am I right, my in-laws?” Elizabeth persisted in her efforts to make this marriage possible as
she was fearful that Veronica’s parents would object.

“A well-matched couple is everything in marriage.”

Tony had an old-fashioned and traditional temperament, but he also knew what was right and wrong.
“Throughout the ages, marriages must take place in the right and well-matched households; otherwise,
how can the newlyweds live happily ever after?”

He tapped the table and emphasized, “Veronica is my only child. I don’t dread for her to marry into a
wealthy family; I only wish for her to be happy.”



“Yes, yes! Tony is right. We don’t have much capability, so we don’t expect her to be a social climber.
We sincerely wish for her happiness for the rest of her life so that we can be at ease.”

Which parents on earth would not want their children to live a happy life? When Veronica heard her
parents’ words, tears welled up in her eyes as her parents were not usually vocal at expressing
themselves.

“I’m so lucky to have you, Mom and Dad.”

Though Veronica was their adopted daughter, they loved her unconditionally.

This is most likely the blessing I cultivated in my past life, she pondered.

“I… I’ve made the decision to marry Matt. I have faith in him and I know he will not let me down.”

However, she kept quiet about her and Matthew’s fatal experiences in order to not worry her parents;
she kept her position as the hidden clan’s heir a secret as well.

This was also why Crayson had kept the truth hidden his entire life out of fear that her parents would
not be able to bear it. At that, Veronica was unequivocal about it.

“Matt stated that he would like to receive the marriage certificate on Monday and I accept that. We
agreed to get married early next month too.”

Veronica pursed her lips and looked at her three elders from the video call before adding, “Master
Crayson, Dad and Mom, I love Matt and I hope to marry him. Of course, what I truly desire is your
blessing.” After she finished speaking, the private room fell silent.

At that moment, Tony turned away from her with an unfavorable expression; Daniella, too, was at a loss
for words while clearly hesitating; similarly, Crayson remained deafeningly silent.



As such, the atmosphere was dignified for a brief moment, which made everyone a little depressed.

Seeing how things unfolded, Matthew turned around to grab a few items from the side before
approaching Tony and Daniella.

“This is the record of the bank transfer. The dowry of one billion has already been transferred to your
card, Dad. Roni assisted you in applying for the card,” Matthew said as he proffered the card to Tony.

“This is the property ownership certificate for Bloomstead’s most opulent neighborhood. It is yours,
Mom and Dad. It is a forty-eight story building with an elevator serving two households. When you have
nothing planned for the future, you can just collect rent and kill time.”

“This is the vehicle for you. It will be more convenient for both of you to travel in the future.”

Matthew presented the hefty gifts to Tony and Daniella as well as another three to Crayson while
explaining, “Master Crayson, this is yours. You’re Roni’s master, so I will naturally treat you as my
father as well.”

Elizbeth, who had previously supported Matthew and Veronica, could not help but be hurt after hearing
what Matthew had just said.

One billion!

It’s a forty-eight story building in the heart of Bloomstead, with an elevator for every two households!

The value of this property is incalculable…

At this point, she was unsure whether the marriage was a good idea.
