In addition, my dad used to suggest that I should not show off my wealth but be low-key.
So until now, Saya's family still didn't know about my family background. Yet, they were clear that my family was running a business.
Although Zoe's demand was high, I, at 32, didn't want to make things difficult for Saya, who was only 26 years old this year.
Besides, this amount of money was completely acceptable for our family.
Thus, my dad agreed without hesitation and without any bargaining.
For him, as long as we truly loved each other, money didn't matter.
I thought the issue of the betrothal gift was settled, but I found that Zoe, who had received our promise, was not very happy.
Instead, her expression became weird.
I saw her constantly winking at Tessa, her eldest daughter.
Just as I was wondering what was going on, Tessa stood up.
Her words made the atmosphere in the scene tense.
"You two can get married, but to be frank, you have to sign a prenuptial agreement. Otherwise, it will be hard to divide the property after the divorce. My husband and I also signed a prenuptial agreement."

"Tessa, we haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already thinking about what to do after the divorce? That's inappropriate!"
My parents couldn't say anything out of courtesy.
Yet, I didn't care about it, for Tessa always tried to sow discord between us.
I knew a little about her family situation.
Her husband, a son-in-law who lived in the home of her parents, often stooped to compromise.
Tessa was a high-achieving woman, and she even was bossing me around.
"Tessa is doing this for our own good."
Saya realized that I was dissatisfied and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
Since my fiancée spoke, I should save her face.
I also knew that she wanted a sense of security by signing the prenuptial agreement.
Tessa just mentioned it for her sake.
Since our family didn't bargain in the matter of the betrothal gift, we naturally wouldn't care about the prenuptial agreement.
Besides, if I signed the agreement, it would be good for me.
I nodded in the end. "It's okay to sign a prenuptial agreement."
Unexpectedly, my consideration of the overall situation gave them the opportunity to make further advances.
Perhaps because I was easy to compromise, Zoe winked at Tessa again.
Acting as the Rice family's spokesperson, she began to chatter incessantly.
