Cara returned to her seat, feeling satisfied but also a little worried. "Miranda, do you really think your grandmother will come and apologize in person? She's very proud, you know."
Emmanuel frowned. "What is this about? Miranda, are you being unreasonable? That's your grandmother we're talking about!"
Miranda bit her lip. "Unreasonable? She forced me to marry Isa! Is that reasonable? She kept changing her mind and going back on her word! Is that reasonable? She kicked us out of the family and took away our shares! Is that reasonable?"
"She even threw a celebration for my uncle and invited us just so she could humiliate us in front of everyone. Is that reasonable?"
Emmanuel was speechless after hearing all this.
Lachlan spoke up for Miranda. "Yes, she will come because she cares too much about saving face not to."
Everyone still looked uncertain.
"Well, if the alternative is going to court or jail then I'd say it's less embarrassing," Lachlan added.
Cara muttered under her breath with a hint of anticipation in her voice. "I hope she does come."
Meanwhile, after Romeo's family left the room in anger earlier, Harlow posted about Miranda's request for an apology from their grandmother on the family group chat hoping to incite anger towards Miranda and make them look bad.
"What?! How dare Miranda make such an outrageous demand?"
"She has no respect for authority!"
"Grandmother would never lower herself like that; it's ridiculous!"
"For years people have been coming here to pay their respects; why should Grandmother go begging at someone else's door?"
"It can't be true! This must be some kind of delusion on Miranda's part!"
The entire Lowe family found it impossible to believe!
Even though Miranda's family had been expelled from the clan, they didn't leave the group chat. The primary reason was that the family matriarch was not tech-savvy, and the group chat was administered by Miranda's younger aunt.
So, they were not removed from the group chat.
Upon seeing the chat in the group, Cara was furious. "Harlow is so scheming! She actually posted Miranda's request in the family group!"
As everyone began to blame their daughter and their own family, Cara was beyond angry.
"Mom, don't worry about them!" Miranda said coldly.
She thought with a hint of mockery: Blame and insults come so quickly? Ha ha...
Just then, the doorbell rang at the villa.
When Cara saw who was outside through the monitor, her eyes widened and she became excited.
While everyone in the Lowe family were discussing it back and forth on the group chat, one picture instantly silenced them all.
Cara: Who said that Mrs. Lowe couldn't come knocking? Look closely!!
Below was a picture of Victoria standing outside of Miranda's villa!
The group chat exploded! The matriarch of the Lowe family had actually come to Miranda's doorstep herself to beg her?
After she opened the door, Victoria walked into courtyard with Harlow and Eliza supporting her.
Emmanuel couple as well as Miranda's siblings came out to greet this matriarch.
"Hmph! Miranda, you have quite some guts! You made me come begging at your door? I'm here now! Are you satisfied?" Victoria asked coldly while staring at Miranda after entering inside.
Miranda's expression flickered a few times when facing Victoria; there was some avoidance in her gaze too.
From childhood until now she had always respected and obeyed her grandmother which made it difficult for her not to feel intimidated when facing Victoria face-to-face!
