Chapter273

Maxwell’s eyes were red, and he quickly flipped through those two betting agreements.

Just then, the office door was knocked on.

Edgar walked over.

“Sir Humphrey, Mrs. …Ms. Shelton and Roxanne were all here.”

Leonard saw that Maxwell didn’t refuse anymore, so he nodded, “Let

them in.”

So, Stephanie and Roxanne walked in together.

Stephanie nodded and said hi, while Roxanne was more enthusiastic..

“Sir Humphrey, Grandma, good afternoon.” Roxanne felt a surge of joy. The old couple finally agreed to see her. Did that mean they were going to accept her?

But earlier, Maxwell had just told her. The old couple just wouldn’t agree no matter what.

“Take a look.” Leonard handed the file to Edgar, and Edgar gave the file to Stephanie and Roxanne.

Stephanie looked at the file in her hand, her eyes narrowing.

Stephanie looked over at Maxwell, who was looking down at some papers with an unreadable expression.

Then, he turned to Roxanne on the side again.

“You wanted to join our Humphrey family, right? I gave you a chance,” Leonard said. “You saw this agreement too. If you won, then our Humphrey family would accept you. If you lost, you had to apologize to Stephanie online and get out of Haraville.”

“In order to consider your illness, the two of us specially set three months, so you could stay for two months to hold the wedding.”

Roxanne was full of excitement.

She had already pushed Maxwell many times, but Maxwell always hesitated, and after the news recently broke that Serena was Mrs. Humphrey, he got even more hesitant.
