Arranged Marriage: Beneath The Rumors

Chapter 61: Favoring Lisa

As they entered the study, Mr. Davis looked up from his desk, a hint of a smile on his face. But it quickly faded as he saw the look on his wife's face.

"What's wrong, dear?" he asked, his voice cautious.

Mrs. Davis slammed her hand on the desk, making Mera jump. "You know exactly what's wrong! You gave Lisa more money than our daughter! How could you be so cruel and heartless?"

Mr. Davis leaned back in his chair, his expression calm and collected. "Ah, I see. You're talking about the allowances. I can explain-"

But Mrs. Davis cut him off, her voice rising to a shout. "Explain? You'd better have a good explanation, or so help me..."

Mr. Davis spoke calmly, trying to reason with his wife. "Lisa is my first daughter, and Mera, you are my last. They are not age-mates in any way, so what's wrong with how I share the money? I gave Lisa a bit more because she's older and has more responsibilities."

Mrs. Davis's face turned red with rage. "Responsibilities? What responsibilities? She's no longer part of this family, she's already married, so what responsibility are you talking about? Does the Miller family lack money that they can't provide enough money for your daughter?

Mrs. Davis glared at her husband, her eyes blazing with anger. "Complete Mera's money to 1.5 million, or else you don't want peace in this house," she said, her voice firm and resolute.

With that, she turned and walked away, leaving Mr. Davis looking frustrated and Mera looking relieved.

Mr. Davis sighed and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He knew that his wife was not a woman to be trifled with, and he also knew that he had to keep the peace in the house.

Mera, who was still standing in the room, smiled to herself. She knew that her mother had won the battle, and she was grateful for it. She left the study, feeling happy and content, knowing that her mother had fought for her.

Mr. Davis didn't make any order He just sat there, looking frustrated and defeated. He knew his wife temper. he didn't want to provoke her further.

He sat in silence for a moment, then got up from his chair and walked out of the study, leaving Mera standing there, wondering what would happen next.

Mera shrugged and followed her father out of the study, curious about what would happen next. She knew that her mother had been furious, and she wondered if her father would really give in to her demands.

As they walked out of the study, Mera saw her mother standing in the hallway, her arms crossed and a triumphant look on her face. "I'm waiting," she said, looking at her husband.

Mr. Davis sighed and shook his head, but said nothing. he looked at his wife, Claire am not adding any money to Mira's account.

Mrs. Claire Davis stared at her husband in anger, her eyes flashing with indignation. "You're really going to stand there and tell me that Mera's feelings don't matter?" she spat, her voice venomous.

Mr. Davis stood firm, his expression unyielding. "I'm saying that Mera needs to learn to be grateful for what she has. She's not entitled to more just because Lisa gets a larger allowance."

Mrs. Davis's face turned red with rage. "Entitled? You're one to talk, aren't you? Always favoring Lisa over our daughter."

Mera shifted uncomfortably, feeling the tension between her parents escalate.

"You're being unfair, Dad," Mera ventured, trying to intervene.

But Mrs. Davis cut her off. "No, Mera, stay out of this. Your father needs to understand that his actions have consequences."
