Chapter 1913 Stop Pretending
Roxanne did not believe a single word that came out of their mouths.
Why are they pretending to act so humble? Did they forget how they treated me all those years ago? They''ve never thought of
me as their daughter for over ten years. Now they are trying to act pitiful and trying to guilt trip me. Anyway, it doesn''t matter what
they do. | refuse to let them be part of my life.
“No need to fret, |prehend entirely. You don''t have to attend the wedding ceremony,” Roxanne said the words without
holding back. She had no intention of showing Winnie any respect.
Winnie was stunned when she heard the words.
Grant''s expression darkened as he began to tremble as he tried to suppress the anger in him.
Roxanne is apletely different person now! | thought we''d be able to win her sympathy if we acted pitiful and miserable, but it
looks like she''s turned into a cold-hearted woman.
“In that case, we will not be attending the wedding ceremony. There''s also no need for us to remain here and hold up your
preparations. We''ll take our leave now.”
Grant stole a nce at Lucian to gauge his reaction. The man waspletely unfazed—he showed no reaction and made no
attempt to smooth things over.
Gritting his teeth in determination, Grant shot Roxanne another angry look before turning around and wanted to walk into the
room to pack his things.
Winnie seethed. Roxanne has matured. She''s no longer the pushover she once was.
However, she refused to let the opportunity slip through her hands. Thus, she decided to back away a little and hastened to
persuade Roxanne with a smile. “Roxanne, | don''t mind if you don''t consider me your stepmother, but Grant is your father! I''m
sure your mother would not wish for this. How can you not have your family with you on such a big day? What will people say if
your own father doesn''t attend the wedding ceremony?”
Lucian loath to admit it, but Winnie really had a way with her words. He even found himself unable to refute her statement. It was
true that getting married was a major event in life and there would be no one who did not want his or her parent''s approval and
blessing.
“Winnie, forget it. My capable daughter looks down on the Jarvis family and thinks of us as a burden. We might as well make
ourselves scarce,” Grant dered coldly. Following that, he went into the room and began packing his things.
Roxanne was surprised. They''re quite good at acting. | can''t believe I''m actually moved by their performance. She had been
feeling calm throughout the entire conversation before Winnie brought up her mother.
Irritated, Roxanne stared at Winnie and said coldly, “Mrs. Jarvis, how dare you bring up my mother? Did you forget how you
married my father? Honestly, I''ve given you more than you deserve by standing here and speaking to you!”
How dare the homewrecker who shamelessly barged into my family put up an act and y the victim?
Winnie waspletely dumbfounded. Flushing, she nearly revealed her true colors. However, she was unable to do so as
Lucian was still present. She could only continue to hold it in despite the urge to w Roxanne''s mouth growing stronger.
Still, the fury in Roxanne''s heart was far more intense.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
In thest two years of her life, her mother had been depressed until she finally sumbed to a terminal illness. Roxanne had
always thought that it had something to do with Winnie.
“Fine. We got it. We''re leaving right away!” In the end, Winnie dared not speak further. She picked up the clothes they had gotten
for the three children from the couch and went into the room to help Grant pack their things.
With that, Roxanne and Lucian no longer had a reason to remain in the room. They turned around to leave.
They hadn''t gone far when they heard Grant and Winnie break into an argument behind them.
