Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3044

Gina is momentarily stunned into silence. Staring at Emily, she feels that in the half-year they haven't seen each other, Emily has completely changed.

She feels like a stranger.

Bonnie's eyes dart around as she carefully chooses her words. "Emily, you can't calculate it like that. After all, the wealth gap between our family and the James family is massive. A matched dowry is impossible. But Mom will absolutely do everything in her power to help you prepare a dowry."

Gina nods vigorously. "Yes, exactly!"

"Mom prepare it?" Emily acts as if she just heard a hilarious joke. "Why would Mom help me prepare my dowry? Didn't we sign a support agreement? Elliott takes care of Mom, and I take care of Dad. Since Dad is the one providing for me, and as you can see, he's in a wheelchair and has no money for a dowry, I simply declined the bride price!"

"Also," Emily looks at the two of them, "Bonnie is due soon. It's not convenient for her to travel, so I didn't send invitations to you or any of those relatives you mentioned. Without an invitation, you can't get into the banquet hall. So, don't bother coming."

Both Gina and Bonnie turn pale.

After a brief flash of anger, Gina immediately shifts to a heartbroken expression. "Emily, you won't even let your own mother attend your engagement? I raised you for over twenty years, and you're really going to cut ties with me over a piece of paper?"

Emily replies coldly, "Back at the hospital, when Dad was in the emergency room and we needed to figure out compensation, you signed that agreement without a second thought. Didn't we make everything perfectly clear back then?"

Gina snaps, "I'm still your mother! The James family's engagement is going to be a huge event. If the bride's parents don't show up, won't people gossip?"

Swallowing her rage, she tries to persuade her earnestly. "Elliott and I are your family. If we're there, the James family won't look down on you. If you don't even have your own family backing you, what do you think the James family will think?"
