Norman was a little surprised but responded civilly.
“Okay, I’ll have that scheduled.”
Darren said with a satisfied smile, “All right. It’s compulsory that all members of the family attend.”
While Norman cooperated, he couldn’t help but feel a bit distressed. He answered courteously despite constantly feeling like something was off. They exchanged a few pleasantries before getting off the phone.
Norman frowned, “I have a bad taste in my mouth. Why does he sound off?”
Linda’s face turned pale, “They…are they going to break off the engagement?”
Norman’s face darkened, and her mother frowned.
Linda mumbled, “It’s over… It’s over…”
Norman said with a sullen face, “Why are you panicking? The Wickam family needs the Benett family. They have always pushed for marriage, so we have nothing to be afraid of.”
“I…”
“Look, you don’t have to worry about it. We will find out their intentions tomorrow,” Norman sighed. “Don’t worry. If they dare to bring up the matter of canceling the marriage, I’ll threaten to terminate our partnership. They have a lot at stake!”
Norman’s words were firm, which made Linda feel more at ease.
Although Wickam Group was rich, the Benetts were their biggest stakeholder. Having them out of the picture would be a terrible move.
Linda still had an intact trust in Gareth.
With that in mind, she wasn’t as worried as before.
For a time, the family conversed, planning how to go about tomorrow. The Benett family would have to be resilient tomorrow.
