Replacing My Ungrateful Son

Synopsis

"Mrs. Huber, I'll be straight with you. Isaac and I are genuinely in love, but marriage needs some guarantees." "An engagement gift of 30 million dollars isn't too much, right? And the villa on the east side of town should be put under my name." "Oh, and I have a younger brother who just graduated. Maybe you could help him set up a company, and throw in 30 million or 60 million dollars as startup capital?" I held my wine glass, listening to Tiana Foley sitting across from me, speaking with such confidence that I could hardly believe my ears. Today was my fiftieth birthday party, and she was the first girlfriend my only son, Isaac Huber, had ever officially brought home. Before I could even get a word in, my love-struck son, Isaac, stepped in first, pulling Tiana close by the waist. "Mom, Tiana's not materialistic. She needs to feel secure. All this is barely a drop in the bucket for our family, right? If you don't agree, you're just disrespecting her and making us break up!" Isaac said, sounding desperate. I looked at him, playing the generous saint with someone else's fortune, and I was so mad I ended up laughing. "Heh." My cold laugh instantly silenced the noisy hall.
