”Why is it so difficult to get inheritance these days? Why is there a need to do sobehind such last will and testament?”
Sapphire threw herself onto her big and fluffy bed She's giving the chandelier hanging on the ceiling a real bad stare May her Grandma rest in peace But, she's really annoyed by the will left behind to her and her cousins in case they want their inheritance
She heard her girl cousins giggle
”Grandrow into an old maid forever so, here's that, you cannot claim your 'prize', if you don't have a 'proof of purchase',” tauntingly said by her younger cousin, Lavender
Proof of purchase? Hah! She set her inheritance, she has to marry before her 28th birthday Eh, she's currently twenty seven years old and her next birthday is only a month away!
The 'proof of purchase' that she e contract! If she is still unmarried on or before her birthday, her part of the inheritance will go to the charity As always
”I thought this can only happen in novels,” she said ”Grandma'sfraud, eh!” She stomped her feet in annoyance and then kicked in the air Because of that, her shoe fleay
Her cousins once again giggled
”You know, Saphi, start looking for your own groo about Grandma's condition in her last will” her cousin Crystal Jane advised The girl was younger than her but the way she speaksthe cousins
”It's not that easy!” She complained as she rose from her bed ”I don't even have a boyfriend but I have to be uy?”
”Else you want to be wedded to a girl? You'll not get your part more”
”If you won't set aside your man-hater side, then, say 'bye-bye' to your hed
She frowned at her three fe comfortablyon the peach-colored furry couch on one side of her room
”You all have guts to ot the same condition in order to claim their Grand twenty-eight Her cousins have more time to find someone they can marry
But how about her? She only has a month!
Of all conditions that can be, why does it have to be et married! The reason she hasn't had any boyfriend is because she hates all men
Haley was correct when the woman said that she's a man-hater Noto do with the likes of her father, in short all men, who didn't support her ined herself having an intirew older, she only sa her mother cried for innumerable times whenever her mom’s boyfriends left her
Her good mother's reason, to experience the 'happily ever after'
Happily ever after? Happily ever after, my face!
Sapphire’s ot married ever since Sapphire was born However, her leSapphire because her family is very wealthy
The Monteverde family owns a chain of hotels and restaurants all over the Philippines Through the years, the Montevede's fa And last year, when Sapphire’s older hter of another farew more
”If we're going to think about it, it's actually your fault, Saphi,” Lavender said
”Hoas that my fault? Grandma was the one who made her last will and testament”
”Reo, you directly said to her that you'll never get married? That it is okay even if you turned into an old maid? I feel that Grandma was alarmed because of that Re us that we should get married and have kids?”
”And take a look at it, Grandma kne important for you the inheritance that you will receive, that's why she came up with that condition,” Crystal Jane concluded ”It was us who have been dragged to share your condition”
Her eyebroitched She started thinking about it and realized, randma had done
Mercelina Monteverde - their grando because of colon cancer Sapphire was the closest to her grandrew up in other houses together with their complete families
The mothers of Crystal Jane, Haley, and Lavender, and Reeve's father are her Mos Coincidentally, all of them, cousins, were the only child of each family that's why the three treated each other as sisters Meanwhile, they did not become close to their male cousin because when they were kids, that male cousin of theirs lived very far away from them They only met whenever there was an occasion
Back to her late grand in the Monteverde veins was the bloodline of being manipulative She never questioned that because it's really true Especially for her This is also another reason why she hates guys She thinks that it's difficult to manipulate them
If she ever loved someone, there's a chance she would only cry and cry and be hurt, like herlike an idiot and helpless
She won't ever end up like her Mom
She approached her cousins and helplessly sighed ”Looks like I can't have o to the charity”
The girls’ eyes simultaneously widened ”Sapphire!” They chorused
”You can't just give up like that! It's a large amount of money! Gosh!+ Even if you don't work all your life, you can still raise your grandchildren using that”
”Lavender is right Saphi, you can't give it up!”
”Eh, it's better than being wedded First of all, I don't have a boyfriend Second, where will I get someone to marry me within a month? And third, I can't live with a man!”
Haley shook her head ”There are so e”
Sapphire's forehead creased ”Grande contract is valid There's no way to cheat on that”
Haley naughtily sroo up
Haley was the youngest of them all - only twenty-one years old The way she dresses always look provocative Aside from her backless top, her skirt is even shorter But, instead of looking cheap, she looked so elegantly sexy
”Fake groom?” Crystal Jane repeated ”You mean like, Sapphi will be in cahoots with the one she will be ?”
”Yeah Sappire can just pay him after And if they will live in one house, they can sleep in separate rooms and still have their own lives”
Lavender chuckled ”Only a e in papers? See like this, ah?”
”Eh, that's the only solution for this man-hater cousin of ours”
Sapphire rolled her eyes at Haley ”Better than being a playgirl like you”
Haley did not seeer a playgirl I' with boys That was even over last year But I did not turn into a ain”
Fall in love? With a man? Yuck
”It's like ill be deceiving our Grandma if Saphi did that,” Crystal Jane protested Out of the four girls, she was the most behaved, most demure and the kindest
