The Thousands-Dollar Bride Money That Vanished Chapter 1

My boyfriend, Fredric Noble, gave me a betrothal gift of 40,000 dollars before we got married, but as soon as the wedding started, my mother-in-law asked me to return it on the ground, saying that my father-in-law was sick.

I handed the card over with a smile, without any reluctance.

In my previous life, I could not get over this and refused to hand over the money, but was accused of being ignorant.

My mother was also accused of selling her daughter because she spoke up for me.

My boyfriend broke off the engagement in public and rebuked me, “Children raised in single-parent families are cold-blooded.”

Amid the ridicule of the crowd, my mother had a stroke and fell to the ground and I was labeled a “gold digger."

I was so angry that I dropped the card and left, but my boyfriend's family called reporters and blocked my mother's operating room, scolded me for cheating them.

My mother died tragically on her hospital bed and I was so angry that I died together with my boyfriend.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the wedding scene. In this life, my boyfriend asked for the betrothal gift back in public and everyone praised me for being sensible.

A few days later, my boyfriend was thrown into jail.

——

“I wish the bride and groom a happy marriage!”

Amid the sounds of blessings, I woke up as if from a nightmare, my heart pounding.

The pain from my past life was still lingering and I took a deep breath to steady myself.

“Leta, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

After hearing Fredric's concerned voice, I suddenly felt nauseous.

Who would have thought that someone who cared so much about me would end up pointing at my nose and calling me a gold digger?

I shook my head to indicate that I was fine and took out the gift card he gave me.

“Fredric, I thought about it yesterday. I've always been extravagant with my money, so I'll leave the betrothal money with you!”

I deliberately spoke very loudly and sure enough, I attracted the attention of a group of guests.

I handed the card to Fredric in public, intending to get this done before my mother showed up.

But unexpectedly, when the wedding was halfway through, Fredric’s mother rushed onto the stage again.

She angrily threw the card in front of me, covered her chest and pointed at me breathlessly.

“Leta, what do you mean? My family clearly gave you 40,000 dollars as a betrothal gift, so how come there is only 4 dollars in the card?

“Your father-in-law is still lying in bed. Hurry up and hand over the money! This is your father-in-law's medical treatment money.

“We are all a family from now on, so don't play such tricks.”

Faced with my mother-in-law's accusations, I was stunned for a moment and then I suddenly understood that this was what Fredric's family was planning.

Fredric and I met in college. He was gentle and considerate and everything about him was good except his family background.

Because I took his self-esteem into consideration, I never asked him for a penny when we were in love and even for the betrothal gift, I only asked for 1,500 dollars.

Fredric took the initiative to offer me 40,000 dollars, saying that it was compensation for my efforts over the years.

But then it seemed that he probably only gave me 40,000 dollars from the beginning, but deceived me into giving him 40,000 dollars later.

I was speechless for a while, pointing at the card and said, “I haven't touched this card since Fredric gave it to me. You should ask your son about the money missing from it, not me!”

After saying that, I deliberately glanced at Fredric and sure enough, his face was full of panic.

But my mother-in-law refused to give in. 

She held my arm tightly, digging her nails into my flesh through my clothes and sneered, “You are talking nonsense! You must have transferred the money away, right? My son clearly gave you 40,000 dollars.

“Hand over the money quickly, or this wedding won't happen. Your father-in-law is still lying in bed, how could you bear it?”

The noise she made on the stage finally attracted everyone's attention and the guests began to whisper.
