Chapter 279 Passing the Message to the Austin Family
“Yes! Yes! Grandma, when my mom came up with the idea, both my dad and I were against it!” Harlow said with a look of injustice.
Victoria snorted coldly. “Is that so?”
“Yes, Mom! Your son was wrong!”
“Mom, these days I’ve been living in regret! Give me another chance to be a good filial son to you!” Romeo ran over and hugged Victoria’s leg.
Harlow’s eyes flickered a few times as she also approached and massaged Victoria’s leg and shoulders.
“Grandma, at the end of the day we were all blinded by hatred! It was because we wanted revenge on Lachlan so badly that we fell for my mom’s bad idea.”
“My dad and I know we were wrong. We’re family through thick and thin. Grandma, give us another chance!”
Victoria’s expression changed slightly as she looked at Romeo and Harlow acting lowly like this; her face couldn’t help but relax a bit.
She had been strong-willed her whole life. In other words, completely stubborn and putting more importance on saving face than anything else!
This was also why Miranda defied her intentions. After several instances where she couldn’t have her way, Victoria harbored resentment toward her granddaughter. The eldest son and daughter-in-law sided with Miranda and Lachlan, making Victoria resent even her own eldest son.
No matter how filial Emmanuel was, Victoria remained unmoved. In the end, it was all because of the actions of her eldest son’s family that she lost authority and face.
At this moment though, her second child and second granddaughter were kneeling down begging for forgiveness which made Victoria feel much better about herself.
She still felt like the high-and-mighty head of the Lowe family who could say whatever she wanted without question!
“Hmph! So you know you were wrong?” Victoria snorted coldly again but softened her tone somewhat.
Romeo and Harlow exchanged glances then immediately started apologizing again while trying to please Victoria with sweet words.
“Alright then get outta here!”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Since Eliza got punished already, I’ll let your father-daughter duo off easy just this once based on our familial relationship.”
“I don’t want to see you guys right now so leave quickly!”
The repentance from Romeo’s family made Victoria feel accomplished inside but didn’t completely clouded by sweet talk either way, since they had previously tried to kill her off or take away the Lowes’ head position altogether.
Victoria may no longer pursue them, but it was impossible to be as close as before.
The next head of the Lowe family would not give anything to Romeo.
“Yes! Yes…”
“Mom, Harlow and I are leaving. Please take care of yourself!” Romeo said anxiously.
Harlow had sharp eyes and noticed the invitation card beside Victoria’s hand. After looking at it for a few moments, she said with a hint of anger in her voice, “Oh, grandma, is this Lachlan and my cousin’s wedding invitation?”
She blinked a few times and continued, “Uncle Emmanuel and Aunt Cara really went against your wishes by arranging their wedding without your approval?”
Romeo snorted coldly when he heard this, “Ridiculous! They don’t even consider you at all! How dare they send an invitation card? It’s provocation!”
Victoria’s face turned dark when she heard them talk about this matter.
In the next second, she leaned on her cane and said coldly, “I have already given orders that everyone in the family who has connections with us should not attend the wedding! They don’t listen to me but still want to use the name of the Lowe family to invite people? Impossible! I will make sure they become a laughing stock in Edoland!”
Harlow exclaimed excitedly, “Yes! Grandma is wise!”
“Mom, you’re right! They are no longer part of our family; why should we give them face?” Romeo added gleefully while giving Victoria a thumbs up.
Victoria sneered sarcastically, “Of course!”
As enemies share common ground against another enemy, mentioning Lachlan and Miranda made Victoria feel like old allies with her son and granddaughter again!
At that moment Harlow rolled her eyes slyly showing some malice on her face, “Grandma, does the Austin family know about Miranda and Lachlan’s wedding?”
“Hmm? The Austin family? I’m not sure if they know,” replied Victoria puzzled.
“Why don’t we tell the Austin family about this news?” Harlow suggested cunningly while smirking,
“What do you think Isa and the Austin family would react if they know that these two are getting married without your approval? It’s not just provoking you; it’s also provoking Isa and the Austin family!”
“Yes! Many people know that Isa has set his sights on Miranda and even went to propose to her in person! The grand wedding of Miranda and Lachlan is undoubtedly a slap in the face for the Austin family! If we reveal this to the Austin family…”
Romeo’s eyes lit up as he spoke with a cold smile.
Victoria slowly nodded, also with a cold smile on her face.
“You’re right!”
“I’ll let the Austin family know right away.”
Victoria took out her phone and dialed Alexander’s contact number.
Isa had previously set his sights on Miranda, so Alexander had brought his son to propose in person, which was why Victoria had their contact information.
The call was quickly answered by Alexander’s polite voice, “Mrs. Lowe?”
“Mr. Austin, it’s me,” Victoria replied politely.
“Why did you call me, Mrs. Lowe?” Alexander asked curiously.
“I have some news for you, Mr. Austin. My wayward granddaughter Miranda is getting married to Lachlan in three days at the Golden Family Hotel top floor ballroom!”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was an “Oh?” from Alexander followed by an annoyed tone, “What does this news mean, Mrs. Lowe?”
Victoria chuckled lightly, “It doesn’t mean anything; I just thought I should let you know about it since you’re part of the Austin family! As for what should be done about it… I’m sure you and your family have plans of your own! That’s all; sorry for bothering you!”
With that said, Victoria hung up!
At this time, Romeo and Harlow were standing beside looking expectantly at Victoria, “How did it go?”
“Grandma, did the Austin family react after hearing this news?”
A sly smirk appeared on Victoria’s face, “Alexander sounded very unhappy when he spoke; there was clearly anger in his voice.”
Hearing this, Romeo and Harlow burst out laughing. They exchanged glances with each other revealing a hint of schadenfreude. The Austin family could not possibly remain calm after hearing such news. There will definitely be something interesting happening soon!
It would be strange if Lachlan and Miranda’s wedding could proceed smoothly without any trouble!!
