The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 1911

Chapter 1911 Indignation

Roxanne headed straight to Grant's room after arriving at the hotel.

She had made preparations, thinking of the terms and other potential requests they may make. However, Roxanne was slightly surprised when Grant opened the door.

Is this man standing in front of me truly my father?

He was slightly thinner than he was six years ago. His face was no longer as ruddy as it had once been. His skin was dryer and had a slightly waxy sheen, and wrinkles filled his forehead.

His hair was cut short too. Perhaps he had gotten it cut because his hair had begun to go white.

“Roxanne?” Grant revealed a slightly excited look in his eyes.

They had not seen each other for many years. Thus, she did not know if it was an act or if those were his true emotions. Nevertheless, his gaze was somewhat timid. Then, he looked at Lucian and nodded. “Mr. Farwell.”

“Hello, Mr. Jarvis.” Lucian was indifferent. He barely spared the other man a glance before turning back to look at his wife. Roxanne calmed down a little after seeing her father's humble attitude.

Just then, Winnie came over and stared at Roxanne in astonishment.

She was surprised by the latter's clothing. Roxanne's attire was very elegant, and it made Winnie somewhat embarrassed and jealous.

However, she immediately put on an elated expression. “Roxanne, it really is you! You've changed so much. You look very graceful. I'm sorry your father and | have been traveling so much that we've just found out about your wedding. We came as soon as possible!” Winnie nudged Grant. “Why are you standing at the door? Hurry and invite your daughter and son-in-law in!”

Inwardly, Roxanne applauded Winnie's instant change in expression. The latter was clearly an expert at this. She also spoke as if they had a very close relationship.

However, Roxanne did not forget the life she endured at the Jarvis residence after her mother passed away.

Her mother had just passed away for a year when her father had brought Winnie along with her children, Yosef and Yuliana. From that moment onward, Roxanne realized that her father's betrayal of her mother was not something that had begun recently. She and Yosef were only two years apart, while she was three years older than Yuliana.

Although Roxanne was older than both of them, the younger siblings did not consider her their older sister. They showed her no respect, often mocking and playing tricks on her.

Back then, Winnie was a stepmother who did nothing for her. She never bought Roxanne new clothes. Whenever they had treats, she would always put them away for her own children.

Eventually, it escalated to Winnie refusing to allocate funds for Roxanne to continue her studies at university.

Thankfully, Roxanne was able to meet a good mentor in when studying medicine. Relying on her medical skills, she treated some people and managed to scrape together enough to pay for her tuition fee.

Eventually, Grant opened his own factory and became wealthy. However, Roxanne only grew unhappier by the day.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

In the end, Roxanne was sent to the Farwell family to get married to Lucian in order to appease Ethan.

Then, if Roxanne had not been in love with Lucian for a long time, she would not have agreed to it.

When she thought of everything that happened in the past, she found it difficult to eliminate the anger and indignation she felt in her heart.

Honestly speaking, she did not care about Grant's humble behavior. Thoughts of cutting ties with them were always in her mind.

“Mrs. Jarvis, I'd appreciate it if you didn't address us with such familiarity, After all, I'm not your biological daughter. You've made that fact very clear.” Roxanne utterly rejected Winnie's familiar form of address.

Roxanne's words caused Winnie's expression to stiffen. Forcing a smile, Winnie said, “That's right. I've overstepped my bounds. Come on inside and have a seat! | may have been a tad overexcited because you're getting married tomorrow!”

Lucian sighed to himself when he saw how fast Winnie switched gears. What a shameless woman!
