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 sumwe received from them during Roxanne and Lucian's previous wedding before we even got to spend it. We can't be so generousthis time!” Winnie instigated her husband, calculating inwardly the appropriate amount to ask for. A nominal sum doesn'tnecessarily 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, | know that. Roxanne's mother passed away early, and I've raised her with great difficulty, after all.How can | 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.

“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 plentyof 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 aproduct-related issue when she heard the other party was looking for the chairwoman. She intended to record the complaint andprovide subsequent feedback.

Winnie eventually lost her patience and revealed her identity. “We are Ms. Jarvis’ parents, and we don't have her phone numberbecause we just arrived from out of town, so please give it to us.”

“Respected guest, I'm afraid | 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 andinform 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 andbeing 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 maybe 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. Thatwouldn't be a desirable outcome.

Elias furrowed his brows while considering the circumstances. Regardless of our disinclination to deal with them, we must stilluphold our family's dignity and treat Grant with some respect. Otherwise, our behavior will make the Farwell family seem toopetty.

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 clarifythings 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 withpeople 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.
