One million dollars as a wedding gift!
Heller's eyes narrowed slightly, though his expression remained serene. Neither did his voice shake. He replied, "Yes, it's very clear!"
Holly waved and dismissed the servants. Then, she said calmly, "People should know their place. Your grandfather, Mr. Charles Nicholson, has already passed and both your parents are also dead. The Nicholsons don't exist anymore. However, their enemies from back then will never let you off! Heller, everyone in L.A. is persecuting you!"
"Under such circumstances, I can tell you clearly now that we, the Lincolns, absolutely don't want to have anything to do with you!"
"There's no way I'll let my daughter marry you!"
"Perhaps what I say won't please you, but it's the truth!"
Holly sounded very calm from the start to finish. She didn't deliberately adopt a domineering stance, nor did she mock or taunt Heller.
