Chapter 559
The Ingrams were even worse than your average Joe.
They really didn't give a hoot about her.
"Uh... Seb, I'm kinda broke right now."
Sebastian glanced again at the present Aaron and his mother had prepared.
A measly thousand-dollar gift?
He couldn't help but sneer, "Even more stingy than Brenda and Aaron. In that case, there's no need for Jaxon and Ava to bother."
With that, he pulled out his phone and transferred $8888 to Stephanie via PayPal.
"PayPal payment, eight thousand, eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars."
Everyone heard this and their expressions turned weird.
Stephanie said with mixed feelings, "Sebastian, Christmas gifts are about the thought. You give what you can afford. I don't really care about the money."
Sebastian replied, "What others have, you should have too. If they can't play by the rules, I'll make up for it. After all, if it was some rich girl marrying into the Ingram family, they'd think this money was peanuts."
Jaxon said grimly, "Sebastian, what are you doing? How long are you going to make a fuss over a gift?"
"A single mom and a working girl who earns six hundred bucks a month and recently got promoted to now earning a grand gave me a gift worth eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars yesterday. That's more than her month's salary; she's basically worked a month for nothing, just for me.
And my family, other than looking down on my future wife and belittling her, hasn't done a thing.
Am I the one causing a ruckus, or are you guys just clueless about manners?"
Upon hearing this, Julia scoffed, "I didn't want to give her this gift! If you'd brought home a niece I liked, I'd be happy to give a thousand, or ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand dollars! FindNovel
But I wouldn't give even a penny to someone I don't like. Jaxon and Ava have already compromised for you."
Sebastian laughed sarcastically,
"Sorry, when I specifically asked for gifts, I didn't mention your name! It's pretty clear you're not worthy of giving this gift."
Wyatt Ingram was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up, "Sebastian, you've gone too far!"
One of the three younger members, who had been quiet because of the tense atmosphere, finally couldn't hold back.
Mitchell Ingram frowned, "Sebastian, you're crossing a line. My mom is still your elder, after all."
Sebastian responded indifferently, "She's your mom. It's enough that you respect her. As for me, my mom's already passed away." Sebastian's words cut Julia like a knife.
She felt like she was suffocating.
This was the son she had carried for nine months. She had once been good to him but was forced to give up.
She didn't expect him to understand her pursuit of happiness, but did it have to hurt so much?NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Mitchell said tersely, "Jaxon, aren't you going to say something to Sebastian?"
Jaxon, who knew the situation best, frowned, Enough! Are we going to eat dinner or not? Sebastian, if you think we're not treating this girl well, then don't bring her home next time!
Why are you taking it out on Julia?"
"So you're saying... I shouldn't come home either?"
