One million?
Faye suddenly had a thought, a phrase Tessa Caldwell sometimes had on her lips: "Are you a funny monkey invited here?"
When Dad Caldwell called him upstairs, he had a vague guess.
But he really never expected that Dad Caldwell would only throw out one million.
If Tessa were present, would she die from crying or laughing? Thinking of Tessa's exaggerated expression, he couldn't help but smile, raising his eyebrow at Dad Caldwell: "Your daughter is only worth one million?"
Kenneth Caldwell was at a loss for words.
Suppressing his anger, he spoke to Faye in a very slow tone, "What do you mean?"
The Caldwell Group wasn't doing well, and this one million was still his private money.
Earlier, Faye was still polite to him, but at this moment, Faye was extremely arrogant: "I mean, your offer is too low."
Dad Caldwell was fuming, with a look that said marrying my daughter was all about money, he snorted coldly, "Then tell me, how much, how much money would it take for you to be willing to divorce my daughter?"
"How much?" Faye pretended to think, and after a moment, casually said five words: "Just the Caldwell Group."
Kenneth Caldwell cursed in anger: "Ungrateful!"
"What, reluctant?" Faye's tone was somewhat mocking, "In your heart, your daughter can't even compare to the Caldwell Group? In that case, why say more."
With that, he didn't look at Kenneth Caldwell again and turned to leave.

Upstairs, tension was high; downstairs, things were about to ignite.
Karen Yates never expected that Tessa's flash marriage husband was not only not ugly, but also extraordinarily handsome, with an air of noble elegance.
Thinking back to what she had said before, she just felt her face was being slapped swollen. "Smack, smack."
She couldn't believe such a handsome man would truly be interested in Tessa, so she sourly said, "Hope he's not a fraud, Tessa."
"Who's afraid of who! Anyway, I'm not the one losing!" Tessa spread her hands and shrugged: "If I die beneath a peony flower, it's a romantic death."
Karen Yates resisted the urge to explode, and cursed under her breath: "Shameless, crazy fan."
"You're the one who's a crazy fan. When you saw my husband, you blushed; when my husband looked at you, you were surely thinking about overpowering him with all your sleaziness." Tessa's expression was like, I see through you, you're a sleazy girl, don't pretend to be all aloof.
"Tessa, are you even a woman?" Karen realized she was really going to go mad.
Tessa scratched her head and said in frustration: "Whether I'm a woman, that's a question... I think you can ask my husband; he knows clearly how much of a woman I am, how happy I make him every night."
"Shut up!" Grandma Caldwell spoke up, looking genuinely unable to bear listening, with a headache: "Don't you have any semblance of a girl, talking like that?"
Although everyone in the Caldwell Family was used to Tessa's shamelessness, at this moment, they still felt embarrassed, especially Grandma Caldwell, who was regretful that her son married Tessa's mother and even gave birth to Tessa.
Tessa pouted, staying silent; what era is this, hasn't the topic of gender relations already become universal?!
Soft footsteps sounded, followed by Mia's voice: "Young Master Zion, you're back."
"Zion, you're back." The stepmother's voice followed, very cheerful, and Grandma's face also brightened.
