Richard was a very gentlemanly and reasonable person. When he heard about the betrothal gift, he interrupted, Joycelyn is already married. What’s the point of saying this? It makes us seem like we’re thinking about her betrothal gift.
“She hasn’t been living well all these years. We should make up for it. How can we mention the betrothal gift in front of her and her husband?
Seeing that Richard’s tone was rather agitated, Lily comforted him softly. “The betrothal gift shows the Grant family’s attention to Joycelyn. Although Joycelyn has been missing for many years, you can’t just brush it off like this.
“Also, I heard that Timothy and a few cousins of the Spencer family gave Joycelyn extravagant gifts. Given that we’re already quite behind the Grant family in terms of wealth, we need him to make a grand gesture. That’s the only way he’ll truly value Joycelyn.”
Lily put herself in Joycelyn’s shoes. This made Richard, who was marrying a daughter for the first time, a little convinced.
“Let’s talk about this later. Today is just a family banquet. You guys didn’t come last time.” Richard looked ahead and said to Jerome.
Jerome tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and his handsome face remained solemn.
The group arrived at the Hillside Villa.
Luna came out to welcome them.
“Mr. Schultz, Madam.” Luna greeted them one by one with a polite smile.
Lily was wearing a black velvet long dress. Her figure was very slender. She held Richard’s arm and walked forward with a faint smile on her face.
However, Luna didn’t call her Mrs. Schultz, so her smile didn’t reach her eyes. She only nodded slightly symbolically, looking like a rich lady.
Bellina walked behind and looked around the villa. “It’s alright, but I heard that this is a wealthy district.” She did not really like this villa.
She lived much better abroad than here. Just the thought of Joycelyn living here made her feel uncomfortable.
Bellina looked around. Then, she lifted the hem of her dress and entered the villa with a smile. She saw Isolde and greeted Isolde affectionately as if Isolde was her biological grandmother.
Jerome came down with a lot of expensive supplements. Luna personally helped him take them.
