Chapter 1 The Combination Of Compound Surname
There was such a woman who did not show off, quarrel, not be vain, not impetuous. Even if her life was exhausted, she also wanted to grow old in elegance.
She was the Burne-Browns' eldest daughter, Bella Burne-Brown.
Whether it was the old feudal society, or the current peaceful and prosperous world, the eldest son and eldest daughter were extremely favored. But the Burne-Browns was the exception, just because their family's eldest daughter was an illegitimate daughter. To put it more shameless, Wilson back then cheated on his wife and Bella was born to a dancer.
Since yesterday, a breaking news spread animatedly in B city. The wealthy the Jones-Sharps’ master divorced his sixth wife. So the Jones-Sharps’ old lady specially to burn incense on the mountains to the divine, praying to the gods to crack down on disaster, to stop similar tragedies from happening again.
The real highlight was that the monk told the old lady only the combination of compound surname, could avoid divorcement again.
B City was not an ordinary small city, with a developed economy and a large population. Of course there were countless girls of compound surnames.
After hearing the monk's words, the old lady was worried. There were so many families with compound surnames, but whose daughter was the most suitable to be her daughter-in-law of the Jones-Sharps?
After deliberation, she decided to hold a blind date banquet. Generally speaking, she asked her son to choose a suitable one. Of course, she would not let the girl marry in vain. If the blind date was successful, the bride-price would be 18 million dollars.
Not everyone had such a chance to run for election, so they had to have compound surnames. As soon as the news came out, it became a sensation in the whole city. Nowadays, money talked. Even if the other party was a demon who had been divorced for six times, there were many women who wanted to marry him.
A golden door failed to stop the quarrels coming from inside the house-
"You're crazy, aren't you? Let Gillian participate in the blind date. Don't you know what a cold-blooded and tyrannical devil that Kevin is? You are literally condemning our daughter to death!"
The speaker was Wilson's wife, Colin, who was known to have a violent temper.
"Do you think I'm willing? It's because the company needs cash, and that Kevin's marriage never lasts long, maybe a month or three months before the divorce. As long as Gillian endures for a while, we can get 18 million. Why not?
"It’s easy for you to say that. Who's going to marry Gillian after she is divorced? Even if it's to solve the company's crisis, that doesn't require Gillian to solve it..."
"So who's going to deal with it? They need a girl of compound surname."
"You are silly. Don't you have another daughter? This kind of 'glorious' task certainly belongs to Bella."
Standing at the corner of the wall, the serene woman with a stunningly beautiful face had a sarcastic smile on her lips.
The person who had never acknowledged her, yet at this moment, finally admitted that she was the daughter of the Burne-Browns.
