Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1913

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. I refuse to let them be part of my life.

“No need to fret, I comprehend 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 a completely different person now! I 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 glance at Lucian to gauge his reaction. The man was completely 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, I 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?”
