   Summary

   “I love Adrien,” she mocked the same tone he used in ‘He is my son’, “If you think you can buy me off with this meager value of your fortune, you are wrong. My affection for Adrien- it is an insult to measure its value to be so miniscule,”
   Please take the bait! Take the bait! Take the bait!
   The silver haired designer scoffed.
   “You parasites are all the same,” he scowled. Okay rude.
   “You finally show your true colours, Mlle. Dupain-Cheng,” he shook his head, “Fine, I’ll double it but I'll waste not a penny more on money grubbing opportunists like yourself,”

   University fund! Trip abroad! A dozen bolts of fabric and a new mannequin!

   Marinette Dupain-Cheng you've outdone yourself this time.
