I Hope You Will Never Regret

Chapter 140 Compensation



After the funeral, Mrs Moore indicated that they would visit them the following week to fetch their granddaughter. Mrs Taylor had tears in her eyes, but she didn’t utter a word.

A week later, the Moore family visited the Taylor family. They brought their youngest daughter, Valerie with them. She was more beautiful than her late sister. She looked at Aunt Caroline shyly.

The Taylor family was in the living room watching the news. Everyone was there except Xavier. He had an urgent meeting with the senior management to discuss the building of the cinema.

They agreed that they would approach the Martins Group to build it for them. Then the meeting adjourned. President Taylor rushed back home to see his daughter before the Moore family took her away.

Mr Moore looked at Grandpa Taylor and said, “Mr Taylor, we all know that if my daughter wasn’t pregnant with your grandson’s child, she would be with us today. So, you should compensate us by allowing Xavier to marry my youngest daughter, Valerie.”

Grandpa Taylor looked at them with disdain and disgust in his eyes and replied, “Didn’t we ask your daughter to abort the baby, but she refused? Who gave her the medicine which accelerated her death?

I have lived more than seventy years, but I have never seen anyone so shameless like you. My precious grandson is mourning his wife. Please take your daughter with you.

Your youngest daughter will never set foot in the Taylor family while I’m still alive.” The Moore family was displeased when they heard Grandpa Taylor’s words.

At that moment Xavier walked into the living room and sat down beside his grandfather. He was wearing a black custom-made suit, black shirt and black shoes. His face was gloomy.

Valeria was over the moon when she saw her future husband. She looked at him with eyes full of love. She wanted to pounce at him, but she restrained herself. She waited for years to be his wife. She couldn’t contain her excitement.

Mrs Moore smiled brightly at Xavier and said, “Son, I am happy that you are here. We were telling your family that you have to marry our youngest daughter, Valeria to compensate us for killing our eldest daughter. Also, she will raise your daughter as her own because she was her niece.”

Xavier looked at his mother-in-law coldly. Something snapped in his heart and asked, “Did you tell me beforehand that your daughter was in the last stage of stomach cancer?

Didn’t you force me to marry your daughter because you were dying? Do you think I wanted to have a child when I was twenty-two years old? I wanted to get married when I was twenty-six years old, but I did it for you.

Why are you still alive but she is dead? Sometimes I wonder if you are not faking your sickness. Should I find out that you knew about Valencia’s sickness, but you hid it from me I will bury the Moore family.

Also, I promised your daughter on her deathbed that I would never remarry. Do you think we have equal status because you are my mother’s friend?

I married your daughter because I wanted to make my mother happy, not because she deserved me. Your daughter just passed away instead of mourning for her, you are here looking for benefits. You are shameless.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

The Moore family was so shocked when they heard Xavier’s words. Valeria was trembling with anger. How could her sister betray her like that?

Valencia promised her that she would be Xavier’s wife after she was gone. She was cursing her in her heart.

The Moore family was very upset in their heart. They were cursing their eldest daughter for not keeping the promise she made to her youngest sister.

When the Moore family saw that the Taylor family was against their proposal, they decided to ask for other compensation. The Moore family was eyeing the land which Xavier had bought.

It was in a good location to build a shopping centre. Xavier bought that land because he wanted to build a cinema.

Mrs Moore looked at her son-in-law and said, “Son, you have to compensate us with the land because you don’t want to marry our youngest daughter.”

Xavier nodded his head then he dialed his lawyer’s number. When the call was connected, he asked him to transfer the land to the Moore family as compensation.

Grandpa Taylor was disgusted by the Moore family’s behaviour and said, “Please take your granddaughter with you as well. We have already packed her clothes. Butler Oswald, give the baby to their grandparents.”

Butler Oswald approached the Moore family with Baby Sage in his arms. Mrs Moore sneered, “We have changed our minds, and we are not going to raise your granddaughter for you.” Then they left the Taylor mansion.

Mr Moore was over the moon for snatching the land from Xavier’s hands. He immediately contacted the Martins Group and asked them to build a shopping centre for him.

CEO Martins was puzzled when he heard Mr Moore’s words. If he was not mistaken, that land belonged to Xavier.

He told him that the Construction workers were on vacation leave. Then he asked him to find someone else to build the shopping centre for him.

A few minutes later, he took his phone and called John and said, “I just received a call from Mr Moore asking me to build the shopping centre on Xavier’s land. What happened?”

John sighed and replied, “The Moore family is shameless. Mr Moore wanted their youngest daughter to marry Xavier. My father told them that their daughter would never set foot in the Taylor family.

Then they took Xavier’s land as compensation for killing their daughter. I heard that Mr Moore was eyeing this land, but Xavier bought it because he wanted to build a cinema.”

August was dumbfounded the Moore family was greedy. They wanted to benefit from the passing of their daughter. Are they human? August asked, “Did they take your granddaughter with them?”

John told him that they were angry that we refused their marriage proposal then they left their granddaughter with the Taylor family. August was happy to hear that. Then they hung up the phone.
