The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1268

When Magnolia heard Lilian's words, tears started flowing down her cheeks immediately.

When Draco saw his fiancee getting reprimanded and humiliated by his own mother, he could not tolerate it any longer. Therefore, he hurriedly said, "Mom! Magnolia and I will be spending the rest of our lives together after we get married. We don't care about anything else as long as the both of us can live well and happily together. So, you shouldn't mind it too much too. It isn't early anymore. Can we just prepare t o proceed with the wedding now?" 2

"No way!" Lilian looked at Magnolia with disgust before she said contemptuously, "I can't get over the anger I'm feeling right now. Ever since I got married to your father, I've never suffered such a huge grievance in my life. Her family is obviously the one benefitting and climbing up the social ladder after she marries you. So, why does it seem as though we're the one who would be benefiting from this marriage instead? Your father and I have already been waiting here since early in the morning. Our relatives and friends also came here early in the morning but what about her family? None of them came here aside from the bride! This clearly shows that they look down on us and despise us!" 9

Magnolia waved her hand as she explained, "Auntie, you've really misunderstood me. My parents really

don't look down on you at all. They did not come because they are simply a little too angry." 5

Lilian shouted coldly, "It's useless for you to come up with so many excuses for me! Getting married is such an important matter in life. You aren't an orphan without a father or mother. How could you possibly attend a wedding by yourself? I've already lived so long but I've never heard of any parents who refuse to attend their own child's wedding while they're still alive. Our family wouldn't only lose face if this matter gets out to the public, but this is also very inauspicious!" 9

As she spoke, Lilian gritted her teeth before she said, " Magnolia, I'll tell you the truth right now. If your parents don't come here today, then you can forget about getting married!" 2

Magnolia felt as though she was about to collapse as soon as she heard those words.

She finally managed to escape her parents and rushed here for her wedding with Claire and Charlie's help.

She thought that it would be worthwhile for her to turn her back on her own family as long as she would be able to marry Draco today. However, she really did not expect her husband's family to actually have so many difficult challenges planned ahead of her after she arrived here. 9

Claire could not stand it anymore at this time. So, she said indignantly, "Auntie, do you know how much grievances Magnolia had suffered because of this

wedding? Do you know that she paid a really huge price because of this?" 6

Lilian raised her brows and looked at Claire before she said, "Lady over here-I don't know you, so I don't want to offend you. However, there are some things that we have to make clear today. My future daughter-in-law was supposed to get married to my son today and I've invited so many of my relatives and friends here to attend the wedding today. However, the bride came here alone and none of her family members are here at all. Have you ever seen anyone else doing something like this?" i

Claire hurriedly said, "Isn't it because this is a special situation? Yes, Magnolia's parents have a very strong opinion about this matter. However, Magnolia is also very determined and she even turned her back on her own family just so that she could get married to Draco today." 5

Lilian curled her lips before she said, "Oh, our family is unable to bear that burden. Let me tell you something. We have to abide by the traditional rules and customs when getting married. If the bride's parents are not here, then there's no way this wedding is happening today. It's completely useless for anyone to try and come to convince me." 6

Claire replied angrily, "How could you do this?"

Charlie stopped Claire at this time. After that, he looked at Lilian before he smiled and said, "Okay, enough. I think that you don't need to continue

spending so much effort here to come up with all sorts of reasons. Everyone here is an adult. So, why don't you tell me what we can do so that you will finally agree to hold the wedding as usual even if Magnolia's parents aren't here?" 3

Lilian smiled before she said, "It's very simple. It is only right for us to look for a daughter-in-law who is a n appropriate match and comes from a similar background with our family. However, I could deal with the fact that Magnolia's family is so poor, just for the sake of my son's own happiness. Her parents can't just look down on us like that. I've already put up with them so how could they grimace at us in displeasure instead? If that's the case, then let's do everything accordingly then. No matter what it is, our family also has a net worth of tens of millions of dollars. If Magnolia wants to marry into our family, then she'll have to bring ten million dollars as dowry. Otherwise, there isn't room for any discussions at all." 9

As soon as Magnolia heard this, the good temper that she had all along was about to completely disappear because of the other party.

She really did not expect that Lilian, who had always been a stumbling block between Draco and herself, would end up biting her in the back this time. She was even pushing all of the responsibility on her family instead, i

So, she could no longer hide her anger and she said, "Aunt Lilian, you should have just told me directly if you were not going to allow me to marry into your family. Then, I wouldn't have begged you for no reason at all. However, you agreed to let me marry Draco, but a t the same time, you're being so obstructive in every possible way. What do you mean by this?"
