Chapter 1254 Jacking Up The Price 

Inside the room, there were several women who became excited upon seeing the cash envelopes. They eagerly snatched the envelopes with laughter and giggles. 

However, the door remained closed! 

Ryder, who had been married before and experienced difficulties with his ex-wife and stepdaughter, quickly understood Belinda’s intentions. With a smile, he took out a large cash envelope from his pocket and handed it 

over 

“Mrs. Zimmerman, I truly want to marry your daughter. Please stop making things difficult for me! Hehe…” 

Belinda accepted the cash envelope, glanced at it, and furrowed her brow. 

“Tsk! How much can this envelope possibly contain? With such a lack of sincerity, do you really expect me not to 

give you a hard time? What are you dreaming of?” 

Ryder suddenly felt flustered. 

The lively atmosphere around them gradually quieted down. 

They had witnessed others making things difficult for the groom, but they had never encountered such audacious 

demands! 

“Quick! Everyone, check how many cash envelopes are left and give them all to my mother-in-law!” 

Ryder simply wanted to complete the wedding ceremony smoothly, so he swiftly instructed the groomsmen 

around him 

Everyone handed over the remaining cash envelopes to Belinda. 

However, she remained unsatisfied and declared coldly, “Don’t even think about marrying my daughter with these 

few cash envelopes I won’t open the door for you!” 

“What * 

what do you mean?” 

Ryder was completely flustered 

“What do mean? Do you know how much money I’ve spent raising Ruby for thirty years? After marrying you, she will serve you and your father and bear children with your family name. Do you honestly believe a mere 70,000 dowry is sufficient? 

Belinda demanded “Let me tell you this. Don’t even think about marrying my daughter if you don’t give me another 

70,000 dowry today 

08:38 Tue, Feb 6. 

dowry?” Milani retorted. 

The other bridesmaids fell silent, as they truly didn’t want to marry an elderly cripple! 

0070 

Upon witnessing this, Ruby suddenly gained confidence! They were right! If she didn’t receive enough dowry today, she absolutely wouldn’t proceed with the marriage! 

Emmanuel finally couldn’t stay silent any longer outside. “Mrs. Zimmerman, what you’re doing is not right. No one asks for a dowry twice.” 

Others also echoed his sentiment. 

Even the bystanders supported him. 

However, Belinda paid no attention to their gazes. She stood tall and declared, “When I asked for the dowry in the past, Ryder was perfectly fine. But now he’s disabled! I should demand at least another 70,000! No! Today, you must give me 140 thousand. Otherwise, my family will have no future!” 

What on earth?! 

Good lord! 

She was raising the price for the second time in a row. 

Everyone felt that if Ryder gave her 140 thousand, she would probably continue to increase the amount! 

“This… this is not right! How can a wedding be like this?” 

Ryder, an honest man, could no longer sit still. If he weren’t paralyzed, he would have stood up in anger. 

Alessandra was not originally included among the groomsmen. According to their customs, she was not supposed to be present. However, after witnessing this scene, she couldn’t help but speak up. 

“Mrs. Zimmerman, we had previously agreed upon the dowry amount. You accepted our 70,000 dowry, and now you’re asking for 140 thousand. Isn’t this clearly a trap?”. 

Her words were already very polite. If someone with a more fiery temperament were present, they would probably be cursing at Belinda by now. 

“Hmph! Whether you give it or not is up to you! If you don’t, you can go back where you came from!” 

Belinda raised her hand with a smug expression. 

After all, they had already received the dowry, and if Ryder couldn’t afford the final payment, they would still profit! 

No matter how they approached this deal, they would come out ahead.
