Chapter 281 Provocation in the Gifts

Finished

After Garrett learned about Isolde’s condition, though he appeared calm on the surface, he was deeply troubled inside.

Natasha mentioned that Garrett often sighed heavily at night, muttering about where to find a renowned physician.

Natasha sighed softly. “Forget it. Even if it’s only five years, as long as those five years are not wasted, it’s enough.”

She looked up at Patricia. “You’ll need to help more with the wedding preparations. The Langley residence has no one to oversee things now, and Geoffrey is seriously injured and needs to rest. You and Vance should go over to help. Although the wedding will be held at the Langley residence, now that the two families have reconciled, there’s no need to draw such clear lines,”

“Don’t worry, Natasha. The wedding will be handled perfectly,” Patricia assured her.

“And one more thing… Natasha hesitated for a moment. “The relationship between Isolde and Geoffrey is still strained. Although Isolde accompanied him to seek forgiveness, I asked Esme last night, and she said the two still haven’t spoken a word to each other. Think of a way to ease the tension. I’m not saying they should pretend nothing happened, but on the wedding day, with so many guests arriving, Geoffrey deserves some dignity… “Actually, this dignity is for Prunella. I heard from Marley that Prunella had certain expectations. Go ask Marley what Prunella used to say, and try to arrange things according to her wishes. Give them a perfect wedding and fulfill Prunella’s wishes.”

Patricia noticed Natasha’s eyes reddening again and comforted her before saying, “Don’t worry. Natasha. I’ll go right away. It’s true that the Langley residence has no one to oversee things now, and we’ll need to coordinate with Margaret. I’m the one who should handle this. Margaret isn’t easy to deal with.”

“Of course, she’s not easy to deal with. On the surface, she follows all the rules, but behind the scenes, she’s extremely calculating. Go ahead, but if you encounter anything you can’t handle, remember to report back to me,” Natasha said firmly.

“It’s fine. I’ll handle it. There’s no need to trouble you, Patricia said with a smile.

“That woman is a sly one. You’re straightforward and honest, not suited to her twisted ways. If she follows the rules, then fine, I won’t need to step in. But if she tries to take advantage of Isolde, I won’t stand for it.”

“Alright, alright,” Patricia said, thinking that Margaret wouldn’t go that far. She believed Natasha was just overly anxious about Isolde’s wedding and was overthinking things.
