Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1388

Nathaniel's voice was cold as he mocked, "You claim to love me, willing to do anything for me, yet you can't even accept a prenuptial agreement. Was the compensation and monthly allowance not enough for you?"

Mavis abruptly halted her steps, clenching her palms tightly.

"You women are all the same, impossible to satisfy. Even when I've given you enough money, you want to have me, my heart, my entire estate."

His words were ruthless, each one piercing into Mavis's heart like a dagger.

After all, Nathaniel grew up privileged, coming from a wealthy family, while she was just a girl from a poor mountainous area in Harbor City.

Hence, Mavis understood that he might have reservations about her.

With that, Mavis convinced herself…
