“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.
“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.
