Secret Wealthy Marriage

Michael Auclair also followed upstairs. His room was on the second floor, while Jollie Auclair’s room was on the third, so Avery Graham was directly pulled up to the third floor by Jollie Auclair.

"Sister Avery, come in and sit down," Jollie Auclair said as she pulled Avery Graham inside. "Do you want coffee or milk tea? I only have instant here, it’s not like your big cities."

When on vacation, Jollie Auclair had followed Michael Auclair to G City, an undeniably luxurious metropolis filled with countless things she’d never even seen before. Therefore, despite many schools being willing to admit her, she was adamant about attending G University.

Seeing his sister’s aspirations, Michael Auclair was quite supportive. Of course, what neither of them knew was that Jollie Auclair wanted to attend G University, seemingly insane with pursuit, solely because she wanted to stay in G City.

"Jollie, don’t say that. Life in a big city isn’t as simple as you imagine. Here, at least every member of your family can enjoy such spacious living areas. But there, we live in houses as small as bird’s nests, and moreover, the houses are rented. If I could, I would actually prefer a small town." Of course, that was impossible for her now. With all her family and friends in G City, even though life in a big city could be tough, compared to newcomers, she had it quite easy.

"..." Jollie Auclair was momentarily stunned. She had thought Avery Graham, being from G City, would naturally speak highly of it, but she never expected Avery to have such a poor opinion of big city life. However, it didn’t matter, this wouldn’t deter her dream. A smaller house was just that—a smaller one—and renting was just renting. After all, her brother already owned a house, "Sister Avery, after you marry my brother, you can move into his house. I’ve been there before, it’s quite spacious. Even if our whole family moved in, it would be enough."

"Yeah, that’s true, but that’s because your brother is the General Manager, and the company’s owner provided that house for him, it’s not his own. If you want to stand on your own two feet in a big city, you eventually need to own your place. So, your brother and I are saving money to buy a house." What Avery Graham actually wanted to say was that she alone was working hard to save for a house, intending to buy one before marriage. She was willing to get married, but even if she did, she wanted to keep all finances clear with her partner. She didn’t like the idea that after marriage, ’what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine.’
