30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 587

Leonora herself wasn't too bothered, but she was worried about how his parents might take it and didn't want her own parents feeling pressured.

After explaining, Leonora took her phone out of her bag and played the recording Blake had sent her.

“You know, you’re already 28 this year. If I don’t stay with you…” As the recording continued, Shania's face grew darker with each word.

She never imagined it was like this—the guy first complained about her daughter, even saying he wouldn't give a dowry, making it sound like selling off a daughter.

In an instant, Shania was fuming.

Her only daughter, and all she wanted was for Leonora to find a decent guy to settle down with. She never thought about the dowry much. Besides, whatever the other family offered, she and Devon would add more for their little family.

But this guy, his words—she thought Leonora didn't want to go through with the matchmaking and was making it difficult on purpose.

So, this was the real story.

This jerk, her daughter hadn't said a word, and here he was, blabbering nonsense.

What kind of person does that?

The more she listened, the worse Shania’s expression became.

Seeing her mom’s face change and hearing no more objections, Leonora felt helpless too.

She hadn’t wanted her mom to hear these upsetting things, but if she didn’t listen, she’d continue to blame her.

Leonora wasn't going to take the fall for that guy.

Blake had smartly thought of everything and recorded it all in advance, even anticipating a possible blame game.

After the recording finished, Leonora said, “No matter how immature I might be or how much I dislike matchmaking, once I agreed to go, I wouldn't make a scene. I wouldn't embarrass our family. But mom, in the future, if you're setting me up with someone, please check their character first.”

“See what happened this time? I must have been blind! Staying single at my age must have its reasons.”

Leonora put her phone away, and Shania, still fuming, took out her own phone: “This won't do, I need to call Peyton. I need to tell her off. What kind of people is she setting you up with, they must be insane!”

Without another word, Shania dialed her sister’s number: “Lydia, what kind of people are you introducing to Arielle? That man’s first words were about how Arielle is too old, saying if he doesn’t end up with her, she'd just be someone’s stepmom.”

“And about the dowry, he brought it up first. He said since Arielle is older, let’s not mention the dowry, making it seem like she can’t find anyone to marry.”

On the other end, Peyton was taken aback: “How could that be? His parents are quite respectable at work, especially his mom, a truly nice person.”

“Are you saying I’m lying? I have a recording from Arielle. I’ll have her send it to you.” She scoffed, “And with such behavior, I can hardly believe his parents are any good. Honestly, some people are just so good at pretending.”

Continuing, Shania scolded Peyton for being unreliable in setting up Leonora with such unsuitable matches.

Listening to her sister’s complaints, Peyton could only apologize, promising to speak with the guy’s mom.

After giving Peyton a piece of her mind, Shania felt slightly relieved.

Seeing her mom finally calm down, Leonora also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that today’s incident was finally over.

Just as she was about to return to her room, Shania suddenly said, “Arielle, don’t go back to your room yet. That guy said you already had someone but went to the matchmaking session, and that your boyfriend even accompanied you there. What’s this all about?”

“…” At Shania’s words, Leonora was speechless.
