Sandra spoke lightly, “Go ahead if you want him to die.”
Leo immediately withdrew his hand.
Why did he just think about turning on the air conditioning? He regretted it.
And he finally realized that Sandra was difficult to deal with.
He just wanted her to assist Wesley, but she held a grudge against him.
He thought that Wesley would reprimand Sandra. However, Wesley just closed his eyes and silently accepted Sandra’s approach. Leo was dumbfounded.
After more than ten minutes, they arrived at the Cooper Mansion.
Located in the center of Geniston, it was truly prime real estate.
The Cooper family owned two mansions here and had connected them together. It was luxuriously decorated!
It was like a palace!
They entered the main hall, and Wesley’s grandparents were seated in the main seats.
Both of them had white hair and gentle expressions. Upon seeing Wesley in the wheelchair, they were so excited that they sobbed.
But when they saw Sandra, their excitement was replaced by disgust.
“I can’t believe you really married into the Cooper family! You’ve got a lot of nerve!” Debra shouted. Debra now controlled the Cooper family’s major companies and had significant influence.
Sandra sneered inwardly.
She cured Wesley, but these people showed no gratitude.
Instead, they questioned her.
The Cooper family was cruel.
“Since you’re not the real bride, the 50 million dollars should be returned.”
Debra said coldly, looking at Wesley’s grandmother, Hailey Cooper.
All the money went to the Hill family.
Sandra didn’t even have a decent dowry herself.
“You’re right. It should be returned,” Sandra replied.
Wesley raised an eyebrow and turned to look at her.
He felt something was off about her reaction.
The people around them were astonished. After all, that was 50 million dollars!
To the Cooper family, it was no big deal.
But to the Hill family, it was a life-saving sum.
“The 50 million dollars were for Emily. Since she’s not here, it should be returned,” Sandra’s tone was calm.
Debra nodded, “You’re being reasonable.”
Sandra suddenly smiled.
“So, once it’s returned, let’s discuss the money that should be given to me.”
The Cooper family was stunned.
“I am the true daughter of the Hill family, much nobler than that fake daughter.
And Wesley woke up as soon as I married him. I bring good luck.
If the money is not at least twice the amount given to Emily, others will mock the Cooper family.”
Debra clenched her fists. Twice the amount meant nearly 200 million dollars!
Sandra was really making a bold request!
Debra’s daughter, Angela Cooper, couldn’t help but chime in.
“The Hill family arranged for you to marry into our family. It’s lenient of my mom not to punish you. How dare you ask for money?”
She angrily shouted, “You have no shame!”
Sandra snorted.
“When I married Wesley, I was issued a marriage certificate by the Cooper family.”
The faces of everyone turned pale.
Sandra continued.
“You could have refused before the marriage certificate was issued, but you didn’t. I thought you truly wanted to accept me and then compensate me. It seems that I was delusional.”
She looked at Wesley, who sat silently beside her.
“Honey, shall we get a divorce? But once you leave me, I can’t control what happens to you.”
Wesley watched the drama unfold with a frown.
The Cooper family was full of schemers and opportunists. Sandra spoke without restraint. She didn’t mind giving them a lesson.
So, he didn’t say anything and silently accepted Sandra’s actions.
Hailey was furious. “You’re ill-mannered!”
Sandra retorted, “I married Wesley, but I didn’t get a penny. How does that make sense?”
The hearts of everyone trembled.
Sandra had a very glib tongue.
Hailey called the shots in the Cooper family, and being challenged like this today must have made her uncomfortable. What Sandra said was reasonable, leaving no room for rebuttal.
They were afraid Hailey would be furious.
Then, Sandra elbowed Wesley.
“Let’s get a divorce right now.”
With that, she moved to push the wheelchair.
The Cooper family panicked.
If they got a divorce today, the people in Geniston would surely inquire about the reason.
They would find out that the Cooper family had given the money to Emily instead of Sandra…
But the Cooper family had asked Sandra for the money.
That would truly be a laughingstock.
As the top family, the Cooper family would certainly be ridiculed.
Sandra was respected and couldn’t give in.
So, Debra stood up.
She forced a smile.
“It was just a joke. Don’t get angry.”
Sandra didn’t want to suffer a loss.
“So, how much money will you give me?”
Debra didn’t dare to agree to give Sandra over 100 million dollars, so she looked at Sandra.
Sandra pursed her lips. “Let Emily return the money first.”
Sandra’s lips curled into a cold smile.
The Hill family was in desperate need of money and treated Emily as their lucky charm.
But what if they had to return the money?
“That’s your problem. Now, let’s talk about the money that should be given to me.”
The Cooper family was speechless.
Hailey was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot.
Debra interrupted.
“Why don’t you wait until you finish greeting your elders?” She deliberately lowered her voice.
“Don’t let them make fun of us.”
Wesley’s marriage wasn’t a big deal.
After all, he was just a vegetable who wouldn’t live much longer.
But unexpectedly, he suddenly woke up.
The situation of the Cooper family would also change from now on.
So, everyone rushed over.
This hall was filled with Wesley’s elders.
Because it involved shares, even distant relatives came.
Sandra was unmoved.
She wouldn’t compromise.
Otherwise, she would be in a weak position.
“Are you saying that these elders should give me gifts?”
Debra’s heart trembled.
Even though she was Wesley’s stepmother, she didn’t dare to offend so many people.
But Sandra had a smug look, as if to say, “I come from the countryside and don’t understand everything, so you have to explain clearly.”
