Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8 To Get the Dowry

The smile on Stella's lips suddenly froze, and a faint sorrow swept through her heart.

Mia was right. Marriage is a lifelong matter. She had married the man so cluelessly, without even having dated him. She was indeed putting her lifetime happiness on the line.

But...

Stella pursed her lips and laughed lightly into the phone. "Come on, it's not that bad. In fact, I have to thank Liam. If he hadn't married me, I wouldn't have gotten the $50,000 dowry!"

As long as her mother got better and her siblings could go on with their studies, she would feel happy.

"Well, I have to go," Stella said anxiously. "I'll get the money. Wait for my good news."

Stella carefully put the phone back into her backpack and walked for a while before arriving at one of the busiest commercial streets in Eldoria. She stood on the side of the street, looking at the hustle and bustle, feeling like she was in a different world.

...

"Stella, you're back!" Amelia's shrill voice dripped with mockery as she came down the stairs, sizing Stella up.

She wondered how Stella had been doing in the past few days.

She rejoiced at the thought of Stella marrying a poor punk notorious around the area.

Since childhood, it had seemed like she had nothing to compare with Stella.

Even if Stella was wearing old clothes from a few years ago, some people still complimented her on her beauty.

Stella had a gentle personality, and people liked to be close to her.

Even when it came to school performance, Stella was far ahead.

Amelia had always seen Stella as a thorn in her side. Even though Stella never intended to harm her, Amelia seized every opportunity to embarrass her by any means necessary.
