Sky-High Bride PriceChapter 1
After my boyfriend and I got engaged, he reported me to the police. He accused me of demanding an exorbitant bride price. When the police approached me, I returned the 18,800 dollars bride price without hesitation.
In my previous life, because of my obsession with my boyfriend, I endlessly argued with the police about the bride price when they came to inquire. In front of everyone, I insisted that my boyfriend wouldn't report me over such a small amount of money and claimed the police made a mistake.
My mother, who had a heart condition, chose to believe me and fought for me with reason. In the end, when my boyfriend showed up, he pointed at me and yelled, "Gold-digger! Raising the price at will!"
The bystanders assumed we had taken an exorbitant amount of bride price and accused my mother of 'selling her daughter.' My mother, infuriated, suffered a heart attack and passed away.
Even though I had returned the bride price, Mrs. Royce still berated me relentlessly as a gold-digging scammer at my mother's funeral.
