Chapter 159

Anthea noticed that the Browns didn’t seem to take Sarah very seriously.

It was the first time they were meeting to discuss the marriage, and traditionally, as the groom’s side, they should have brought significant gifts.

But the Browns didn’t even bother to bring anything.

Moreover, when Debra was speaking with her, she didn’t show much regard for Sarah. If anything, there was an underlying tone suggesting that Sarah was punching above her weight..
