Chapter 1910 Deal Personally
“Grant, regardless of the Farwell family's response, we must request some betrothal money from them. We had to
return the sum we received from them during Roxanne and Lucian's previous wedding before we even got to spend
it. We can't be so generous this time!” Winnie instigated her husband, calculating inwardly the appropriate amount
to ask for. A nominal sum doesn't necessarily have to be too much. The betrothal gifts can also be in the form of
properties, cars, or other valuable items.
Grant nodded. “Of course, I know that. Roxanne's mother passed away early, and I've raised her with great
difficulty, after all. How can I not ask for any betrothal gift and let her marry into the Farwell family without
receiving any perks?”
“Do you think asking for thirty million is too much?” Winnie's eyes shone with greediness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Not at all. I'm actually curious to know how much the Farwell family will offer us on their own accord. The more the
better, anyway.” Grant started making plans in his heart.
The two discussed further and finally decided to meet with Roxanne first.
The two were stumped when they realized they didn't have Roxanne's phone number. In the end, Winnie, someone
with plenty of ideas, found Flora Verba Group's official website and dialed the company's number.
The call was answered connected to the customer service department. The customer service representative
thought it was a product-related issue when she heard the other party was looking for the chairwoman. She
intended to record the complaint and provide subsequent feedback.
Winnie eventually lost her patience and revealed her identity. “We are Ms. Jarvis' parents, and we don't have her
phone number because we just arrived from out of town, so please give it to us.”
“Respected guest, I'm afraid I cannot help with your request. Please verify your information and feel free to contact
us again!”
After the call was hung up, Winnie was infuriated and cursed for a while.
Noticing that method wasn't working, Grant contemplated briefly and decided to ask the hotel receptionist to
contact Sonya and inform her that they had something to discuss with the latter.
Meanwhile, in the Farwell residence, Sonya was caught in a tight spot after receiving the call from the hotel
receptionist and being told about Grant's request to meet with her and Elias.
“Elias, Roxanne told us not to entertain them, but would it be too ungracious of us to do that? The Farwell family's
reputation may be tarnished if word about our unwillingness to receive our in-laws gets out.” Sonya hesitated.
Although Roxanne's stance was firm, Sonya was worried that Roxanne might change her mind later and blame her
instead. That wouldn't be a desirable outcome.
Elias furrowed his brows while considering the circumstances. Regardless of our disinclination to deal with them, we
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmust still uphold our family's dignity and treat Grant with some respect. Otherwise, our behavior will make the
Farwell family seem too petty.
Hence, after giving that matter some thought, Elias decided to consult his son.
When Lucian answered the call, Roxanne was right next to him. She was still adamant about ignoring her father and
stepmother.
Lucian didn't say much and merely relayed his wife's intention.
Ultimately, Roxanne also sensed it was a little inappropriate to make members of the Farwell family follow her
decision.
As that was her problem, it would be best for her to resolve it personally, so she made up her mind to go to the
hotel and clarify things with Grant and Winnie in person.
“I'll go with you.” Lucian hurriedly went upstairs, brought a light jacket for Roxanne, and helped her put it on.
On their way to the hotel, Lucian noticed Roxanne was in a foul mood.
He immediately comforted her, “Darling, there's no need to be angry. Take it easy. All you need to do is make things
clear with people like them. It's not worth investing too much sentiment in this matter.”
Sensing the warmth from Lucian's palm, Roxanne smiled and nodded, trying her best to contain her emotions.
