Chapter 1912 Not A Chance
Nodding, Grant opened the door wider.
Upon entering the room, Roxanne and Lucian saw two sets of formal clothes neatly arranged on the couch. It was
obvious that Grant and Winnie had prepared the clothes for tomorrow.
“Where are the children? Ah, I'm such a terrible grandfather!” Grant was extra attentive. He hurriedly poured them
drinks and carefully carried the glasses over.
Following that, he turned around and went into the other room.
Winnie stared at Roxanne enviously. She was jealous of the confident way the latter carried herself.
If we're talking about family connections, it's obvious that my daughter, Yuliana, is more superior. She also has
plenty of wealthy friends. I just don't understand why she's still a lowly tour guide and remain single. On the other

The more Winnie thought about it, the more intense her jealousy became. Despite that, she kept her emotions in
check and maintained a pleasant smile on her face.
Soon, Grant came out of the room with several sets of clothing in his arms. “I feel bad that I can't afford more
expensive clothing, but I hope you'll accept these gifts for the children!”
He came to a stop before Roxanne.
Furrowing her brows, Roxanne refused to accept the proffered gifts.
Lucian's expression grew a tad chilly. “These look a bit too small. Children tend to grow fast. I don't think they will fit
them.”
Grant stood there awkwardly, at a loss for what to do.
Winnie went over to Grant and chided, “I told you! Kids these days tend to grow quickly. You refused to listen when I
told you to get a size larger. It's all right. We can return these and get a larger size.”
With that, she took the three sets of clothes away.
“Roxanne, I came back in a hurry, so I don't have much money on hand. I also don't know how to provide you with
a dowry. I'm really a failure of a father!” Grant scratched his head embarrassedly.
“Roxanne, your father owed a lot of money that he couldn't pay back after his factory went bankrupt. These few
years have been very difficult for us as we have to go into hiding. Your siblings aren't doing well either. Perhaps it is
our fate,” Winnie added in a tearful tone.
The atmosphere was heavy. If it had been anyone else, perhaps they would already been deceived by Grant and
Winnie.
However, Roxanne's resolve remained firm.
She gave Lucian a look, indicating for him to ignore them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFollowing that, she replied coldly, “I never got to enjoy the fruit when the factory was doing well then. Didn't the
business fail because you were too prideful?”
Roxanne did not intend to let her father and stepmother off easily.
In fact, she was well aware of their personalities more than anyone else.
Hearing that, Grant and Winnie could no longer maintain the facade. Grant trembled slightly as he frowned. His
voice was hard as he said, “Roxanne, you're about to get married soon. As your father, I rushed over in order to
attend your wedding. You don't have to behave so repulsively. If you think I'm being an eyesore, I will leave
immediately.”
“Grant, how can you say that? Oh, why are you so stubborn?” Winnie hurriedly tugged the former's shirt. Smiling
awkwardly, she added, “Roxanne's right. We were too prideful back then. We fell into debt because we were too
vain. Roxanne, please don't be mad. Your father and I will leave immediately after attending your wedding
ceremony! We won't cause you any trouble!”
