Chapter 5 Dowry

860 Words
Josef looked at her expressionless. His dark eyes were like a bottomless abyss, with a thick darkness. Zuri was so scared that a cold sweat broke out on her back. "Zuri, what are you talking about?" Major reprimanded her and turned to Josef to make amends: "Zuri is still young. She said something wrong. Don't blame her, Josef." Josef looked at Major and Zuri with a smile: "she is right. I'm really disabled and don't deserve her favor. Fortunately, the engagement was terminated, otherwise I would delay the heir of the Steward family for a lifetime." His cold voice made Zuri look even worse. "No, it's not..." Zuri wanted to explain. Josef didn't want to listen. He directly asked Yasmine to push herself out of the kitchen. Quinn looked worried and shook Zuri's hand. "How could you say that just now? Even if Josef's legs are disabled, our family can't afford his anger." Zuri recovered, her voice sharp: "Mom, that b***h just made me angry. If she hadn't induced me, I wouldn't have said that... It's her fault." Quinn patted her shoulder to comfort her. Quinn turned to look at Yasmine's back. Her eyes were full of hate. After returning to the living room, Josef was no longer gentle. Instead, he lokked very gloomy. Yasmine thought that Zuri's words stimulated him. She whispered in his ear, "the doctor said your legs can be cured..." "What if they can't?" Josef interrupted her. "If I can't be cured, I can only sit in a wheelchair all my life. Everyone will laugh at you and say that your husband is disabled. What will you do then?" He gazed at Yasmine. His eyes looked like a bottomless abyss, dark and empty. Yasmine suddenly chuckled: "so what? You just used a wheelchair decades earlier than me. In the future, when I get old, I might ask you to teach me." Josef looked at her bright smile for a moment, and the gloom suddenly dispersed. He raised his hand and stroked Yasmine's hair with a satisfied expression on his face. It seems that keeping her may be the right decision. When Major returned to the living room, he was relieved to see the two together. "I'm glad to see you like Yasmine. She was not with me since childhood, but she is quiet and gentle, much better than my eldest daughter..." Yasmine felt sick when she listened to his hypocritical praise. She had been in the Steward family for so many years, but had never received a good word. At this time, Major said that to please Josef. "Oh? It seems that you like Yasmine very much!" Josef suddenly interrupted Major. Major was stunned: "well... Of course, she is my youngest daughter. Of course I love her." "That's it!" Josef gently tapped the table: "when Yasmine entered the Gonzales family, I was still in a coma, and I felt ashamed that I didn't give her a formal wedding." "No, Yasmine doesn't care about these at all. As far as I know, Yasmine adores you very much. She is already very happy to marry, right, Yasmine?" Major said, looking at Yasmine, hoping that she could say something. "That won't work!" Josef suddenly smiled: "when the marriage between Gonzales and Steward was decided, Gonzales family took several big projects as sincerity, and you gave Zuri 15% of Steward's shares as the dowry..." When Major heard this, he suddenly had an ominous premonition. "Since Yasmine married me, shouldn't Yasmine get the shares?" Yasmine looked up at him in surprise. Was Josef asking the dowry for her? "Well..." Major suddenly felt dizzy. When Yasmine was asked to marry Josef, he was happy that the 15% shares of the Steward family was saved. It was unexpected that Josef just woke up and began to think about the shares. He didn't suffer a loss at all. Major was about to speak, Zuri rushed out in a menacing manner. "Dad, no, the shares are mine. You can't give them to this b***h!" "Miss Steward, please shut up!" Josef's voice was full of dignity. He looked coldly at Zuri: "Yasmine is now my wife. Miss Zuri, you scolded her. Do you look down on our family?" Zuri's eyes flushed with fear. She hurried to hide behind Quinn: "Mom, Yasmine wants to take my shares. Tell Dad not to promise." Quinn was also very flustered. She couldn't let an outsider get the shares. She advised: "this is such a big thing. We should discuss it..." Josef impatiently interrupted her and looked directly at Major: "it seems that you aren't the master of the Steward family?" Major scolded Quinn and Zuri and told them not to interrupt. Then he turned around and looked at Josef with a little flattery. "Mr. Gonzales, I also prepared a dowry for Yasmine!" He said something vaguely in an attempt to muddle through. At the age of 16, Josef began to work. He had seen Major's intention and sighed: "Yasmine doesn't have to take the shares, but I heard that when Yasmine entered the Gonzales family, she was sent by a small black car. She didn't even bring a few clothes..."
