Oops I Banged the CEO novel Chapter 28

The moment those words were spoken, it was like a grenade had gone off in the middle of the room—a thunderclap out of nowhere.

The entire Zade family was shell-shocked.

Gina hadn’t expected her son-in-law to be so utterly unreasonable. Her expression soured instantly.

“Yvonne, look at you—”

“Mom, that’s just how he is. Sure, he’s not rich, but he treats me well. You can stop worrying.” Yvonne cut her mother off without missing a beat. “And besides, I’ve fulfilled your family’s wishes—I’m married now, aren’t I?”

Everyone here was after money, plain and simple. Rather than stay on the defensive, Yvonne figured she’d let Marico fight fire with fire.

If you want poison, you get poison.

“I’ve never seen anyone so shameless about living off a woman,” someone muttered.

“You have no right to judge him,” Yvonne shot back. “At least he bought me a car. What about you? Have you ever bought my mom so much as a dress? Hm?”

She stood up for Marico in front of everyone.

Marico reached over and gently smoothed her messy hair, looking every bit the man determined to stick by her side, no matter what anyone said.

The Zades were completely thrown off balance.

They couldn’t out-muscle him, and they certainly couldn’t out-bully him.

And to make matters worse, Yvonne was siding with an outsider.

“That’s not how this works,” someone snapped. “Your mother is still here—she raised you, took care of you. You owe her a dowry. If you don’t want it, fine, but it goes to your mom. Fifty grand, and don’t even think about any extras.”

Yvonne shrugged. “Well, there’s nothing more I can do. I’m already married. If you’re so interested in selling your daughter off, why not introduce her to that guy from yesterday? They’d be a perfect match.”

She didn’t want to stay a second longer. Grabbing Marico’s hand, she stood up.

“Let’s go.”
