Chapter 20: Three Conditions
1704 Words
"What!?"
Byron Waters was shocked and angry, staring at his wife.
What did his wife just say?
He had just opened his mouth when Viviana Chambers said, "But I have a few conditions."
"Mom, are you really agreeing to us being together?" Hayley Waters looked up with teary eyes.
"Yes."
Viviana Chambers nodded with a smile.
"Mom, you're so good!"
Hayley Waters stopped crying and threw herself into Viviana Chambers's arms.
"Wait a minute, if Isidore Richmond can agree to my three conditions, then I will agree to you being together," Viviana Chambers patted her daughter's back and said.
"Auntie, please tell me!"
Isidore Richmond hurriedly said, "I agree to all of it!"
As long as Hayley's parents agree, even if it's thirty conditions, he will agree!
"Don't answer in a hurry, listen to the rest first."
Viviana Chambers frowned and thought for a moment before slowly saying, "I heard from Kian Jones that you divorced Miss. Brown and left without any assets... which means you didn't get any divorce settlement from Brown's family, right?"
"That's right, Auntie." Isidore Richmond nodded honestly.
"No house, no car... right?"
Seeing Isidore Richmond nod again, Viviana Chambers said, "So the first condition is that you have to buy a house. If Hayley is with you, she can't just rent and live with you, right?"
"Yes, Auntie, I've thought about what you said." Isidore Richmond quickly nodded, "I'm also planning to buy a house in the next few days."
"Hayley is the general manager of Shining Star Company Corporation, we don't ask for much, but you should at least buy a house of around 100 square meters, right? That's normal? So the first condition is that you buy a house in the city, not too far from Hayley's company, and you need to pay in full, not burden her with a mortgage!" Viviana Chambers said.
Isidore Richmond nodded along.
If his baby daughter follows him, it's normal for her to make these requests!
Moreover, he was already planning to buy a house, so this first request was really easy.
"As a man, you can't just rely on Hayley's car every day, right? You have to have the ability to buy yourself a car, at least a car like Kian Jones's, right?" Viviana Chambers continued, "The second condition is to buy a car worth more than five hundred thousand dollars in full."
This is even easier!
Isidore Richmond kept agreeing.
"As for the third condition..."
Viviana Chambers glanced around and saw that Isidore Richmond looked relaxed, so she said, "Although we don't care how much wealth you have, as a man, you should have your own career, right? Hayley is already a general manager, so your position should be similar, right?"
"Auntie, you're right." Isidore Richmond followed along.
"You should at least be a middle-level executive in a big company, so you have some common topics with Hayley, right?" Viviana Chambers said, "These three conditions, if you can fulfill them within half a month, then I won't stop you. If you can't, then stay away from Hayley from now on, and don't contact her again!"
"Viviana..." Byron Waters's lips moved.
"It's decided!"
Viviana Chambers firmly said, "And, don't borrow money from others, and you can't touch Hayley's money either! As a man, if you can bring her happiness, then prove it to us! Otherwise, I won't feel at ease about handing our daughter over to you!"
"Auntie, what you said makes sense, I agree with everything." After listening to Viviana Chambers's three conditions, Isidore Richmond breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought it would be difficult.
It turns out it's so easy!
Not to mention half a month, he can complete everything in one day!
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news."
Viviana Chambers smiled.
She glanced at her daughter and found that there was no trace of nervousness on her face, but rather a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.
Looking at Isidore Richmond, he also showed no signs of worry.
This puzzled her.
Could it be that my demands are too low?
That's impossible.
Now in Mordor City, the price of a square meter of housing is more than thirty thousand dollars. Shining Star Company Corporation is in the central area of the city, and the nearby houses have surged to more than fifty thousand dollars per square meter!
A hundred-square-meter house would cost more than five million dollars!
The second condition is relatively easier, a car worth more than five hundred thousand dollars, but that still requires real money to purchase.
These two conditions combined would require six million dollars in cash!
As for the third condition, it's even more difficult.
On the way here, she had already heard from Kian Jones.
Isidore Richmond, this son-in-law who came to the door, was just a househusband during his five years in Brown's family, he didn't have a proper job at all.
Finding a job in a short period of time is not difficult, but which company would be blind enough to promote him to a middle-level executive within half a month?
"Auntie, don't worry, I will quickly buy a car and a house for you to review! As for the job, I will take care of it!" Isidore Richmond smiled.
His mother-in-law is really good to him!
She proposed such simple conditions, it's just completely matchmaking him with Hayley.
"Tsk tsk, I'm afraid that after half a month, you won't have accomplished anything," Kian Jones sneered.
With his own Mercedes, he had to save money to buy it just to show off. Even now, he still can't afford a house in Mordor City!
Not to mention buying a house in full.
These three conditions, he himself is already so outstanding, and he can only meet two of them.
As for this useless Isidore Richmond, can he do it?
That's simply ridiculous!
"If I can do it?" Isidore Richmond sneered.
"Can you do it? Hmph! I almost forgot about it," Kian Jones looked disdainful, "This is clearly just copying my conditions. Uncle and Aunt like me, that's why they're saying it, no brains at all, really foolish!"
Viviana Chambers and Byron Waters nodded slightly.
Indeed, that's right.
These three conditions were actually directed at Kian Jones.
After all, Kian Jones is already very outstanding in the eyes of the couple.
Speaking of it, it is to let Isidore Richmond know the difficulties and let the daughter understand how good Kian Jones's conditions are!
A man like this who doesn't cherish it and instead goes to be with a divorced man.
I believe that in half a month, Isidore Richmond will not be able to do it, and when the daughter calms down, she will also understand.
"Then Auntie will wait for your good news."
Viviana Chambers smiled, "But if you borrow money to fulfill it, don't blame me for breaking up the lovebirds!"
"You can rest assured, Auntie, I absolutely won't borrow a penny from anyone." Isidore Richmond hurriedly nodded.
"Let's go!"
Byron Waters coughed and looked at his wife discontentedly.
What kind of words are you using?
Breaking up the lovebirds?
Isidore Richmond, this useless person, being together with my precious daughter, can it be considered as lovebirds?
He is definitely a useless person!
Hayley Waters kept looking back as she followed her parents out.
Isidore Richmond stood in place, looking at the backs of the few people leaving, and he sighed with relief.
The conditions proposed by the Waters family were easily achievable in his eyes.
But since his mother-in-law has given him a way out, he should fulfill all these requirements!
"Isidore Richmond, stop looking and think about how to fulfill these three conditions properly."
Bethany McKenzie stood beside Isidore Richmond and whispered, "You need at least six million dollars, and you have to be a middle-level cadre in a company. It's really difficult!"
"Hehe, someone was just overestimating themselves and arrogantly said that they can do it." Kian Jones stood on the side and sneered, "I would like to see how you will accomplish it in half a month! A useless person, daring to say such big words, really..."
"Kian Jones, aren't you leaving yet?"
Bethany McKenzie got angry when she saw Kian Jones and scolded him, "Who allowed you to call Hayley's parents? You can even resort to such means, what a despicable person!"
"Bethany, I just wanted Hayley to see the true face of certain people." Kian Jones tried to explain with a dry smile.
"Hmph!"
Bethany McKenzie ignored him and greeted Isidore Richmond before turning around and walking towards the hotel.
"Isidore Richmond, you just behave yourself..."
Seeing that Bethany McKenzie ignored him, Kian Jones turned to look at Isidore Richmond.
"F*ck off!"
Isidore Richmond didn't want to see him either and walked into the hotel with Bethany McKenzie.
They will stay in the hotel tonight anyway, so it's better to stay nearby for the night.
"Isidore Richmond, are you staying here too?" When Isidore Richmond followed her in, Bethany McKenzie turned back and asked.
"Well, tomorrow I will go out to look for a house. After all, I have to meet Hayley's family's requirements." Isidore Richmond smiled.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself..."
Bethany McKenzie didn't know how to console him. In her opinion, Isidore Richmond's smile should be a bitter smile of self-mockery.
As a son-in-law who came empty-handed, how much money could he have in his pocket?
And she couldn't lend him money, he had to figure it out himself.
Kian Jones's face turned pale, watching the two walk into the hotel one after another, a sudden plan formed in his mind.
Taking out his phone, he took two photos of them talking at the front desk, and then sent them to Ariah Brown's sister, Condoleezza Brown, the young lady of Brown's family.
Condoleezza Brown is a major client of Rosewood Company and holds an important position in Brown's family company.
Kian Jones had previously visited Brown's family to meet Condoleezza Brown.
"Hello, Miss. Brown, I just saw your brother-in-law checking into a room with someone..."
He edited the message, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
