Chapter 1657: 403: Top Aristocrat_4 Chapter 1657: 403: Top Aristocrat_4 “I’m asking for 1 million dollars not for myself,” she said, “but because I want my daughter to have a good life. If I asked for nothing, the groom’s side might think my daughter can’t be married off and needs a dowry to seal the deal! Look at my daughter–she has it all; looks, figure. Not just 1 million dollars, even asking for 5 million dollars wouldn’t be too much! But I am only asking for 1 million.”

The matchmaker was speechless.

It was not an auditory hallucination.

She had heard of extravagant dowries before.

But she had never encountered anyone so boldly commercializing the sale of their daughter.

No wonder she had only one condition.

The matchmaker turned to Sabrina Sabir and continued, “Big sister, how much dowry are you preparing for your daughter?”

“Dowry?” Sabrina Sabir was stunned.

She had only heard about demanding a dowry, never about providing one.

Sabrina Sabir asked, “I am marrying off a daughter, not taking a daughter-in-law; do I have to pay out of pocket for that too?”

Heads up for marrying a daughter, heads down for getting a daughter-in-law.

As a matchmaker conducting business, she naturally wouldn’t be too blunt, still smiling, she said, “Big sister, times are different now, whether it’s marrying off or taking a bride, preparations for both dowry and bridal gifts are necessary. If you ask for a high dowry, naturally, the dowry must also be substantial.”

Sabrina Sabir wouldn’t agree with such reasoning, and responded with impatience, “It’s already a situation of more men than women, and you still want me to prepare a dowry! That’s unheard of anywhere else in the world!”

The matchmaker then said, “So you mean there is no dowry?”

“None.”

The matchmaker, having met many people, had never seen someone as greedy as Sabrina Sabir.

More importantly, she managed to make the sale of her daughter sound so elegant and refined.

The matchmaker subtly furrowed her brow, “The thing is, membership here costs 3500 dollars, and if you require high-quality matchmaking services, an additional 1500 dollars is needed. If the introduction is successful, then paying the 888 gift money will suffice! Since you’re asking for the groom to pay a 1 million dollar dowry, I recommend you take our 5000 dollar package.”

5000 dollars?

So expensive!

With someone like Sabrina Sabir, how could she bear to spend money on Christina Armstrong.

“Can’t it be cheaper? Besides, it’s my daughter who’s seeking a partner, the groom should be the one paying, so what are you asking us for?”

The matchmaker, still smiling, said, “Big sister, we are not forcing a sale, if you’re unwilling to pay the fee, we won’t insist. I can only say that your daughter and our services may not be destined to be.”

Sabrina Sabir took a deep breath!

It’s just 5000 dollars!

She paid it!

After all, she could later receive a dowry of 1 million dollars.

Compared to 1 million dollars, what’s 5000 dollars?

Sabrina Sabir took out her mobile phone, “I’ll transfer it to you.”

The matchmaker pointed to the wall, “The payment code is over there.”

Sabrina Sabir scanned the payment code and transferred 5000 dollars directly.

“Big sister, I have paid the money, may I ask when you can find a suitable match for my daughter?”

The matchmaker looked at Sabrina Sabir and continued, “Big sister, you should understand how hard it is to earn money these days, a million dollars isn’t easy to come by; these things still depend on fate! Rest assured, as soon as we find a suitable match, I will contact you immediately.”

Sabrina Sabir, unsatisfied, said, “I have already paid, so you better put your heart into it.”

The matchmaker, still smiling, said, “Don’t worry, big sister, if at the end your daughter can’t find a suitable match, we can refund the money at any time.”

Hearing this, Sabrina Sabir felt much relieved.

She was afraid of a fruitless endeavor.

Meanwhile,
Christina Armstrong went to work at the factory.

In the afternoon, the bosses were to inspect the facility, so they gave them half a day off.

Suddenly, Christina Armstrong didn’t know where to go.

Go home?

But she no longer had a place there.

Eventually, Christina Armstrong decided to visit a nearby shopping mall.

“Christina, where are you headed?” Just then, her colleague Barry stopped his car beside her.

Barry was the team leader on Christina Armstrong’s assembly line.

His salary was just over 10,000 dollars.

Driving a modest car worth just over 100,000 dollars, he had mortgaged a house back in his hometown, his parents were still young, and he was also decent looking.

He had liked Christina Armstrong for many years.

Christina Armstrong looked up, “Just going for a walk ahead.”

Barry pulled over, “Shall I accompany you?”

Christina Armstrong shook her head.

She understood her own situation.

Since she couldn’t be with Barry, she shouldn’t give him any hope.

Barry watched Christina Armstrong, an unreadable emotion in his eyes; this was the girl he had liked for five years.

Too bad.

Christina Armstrong had never responded to his feelings.
