Since both Clark and Denis mentioned it, she had no choice but to go along with it.

“The convoy will set out in three days, Miss Jenkins. Please be ready and come to this place on time so you can go to Broome with us," Cyril said.

He told Maria the address and the time for the gathering, and she made sure to remember it.

Sheffield and Broome weren't exactly far apart, so driving there directly was much more convenient.

However, Julie felt a little uneasy when she heard there wasn't an option to take the plane.

She figured that they should at Least be able to afford flight tickets, especially since they were a big, affluent family. She couldn't understand why they were being so stingy.

No wealthy family would be stingy about spending money on the younger generation, especially since they were the future of the family. The Jenkins family, however, was another case. At least, that was what Julie felt.

But as an outsider, she had no right to ask any further questions. ‘an I bring my family over?" Maria suddenly asked.

“What?" Cyril frowned.

“Of course not!"

But then, from the corner of his eye, he saw Jack and Grover glaring at him. He also noticed that Anthony's expression turned into a contemptuous smile.

Cyril gulped.

“I've actually been told that the people on the list are the only ones who can go. There's no need to bring any more relatives.”

Maria pouted. She looked like she was about to regret her decision at any moment.

“It's okay. We'll go separately,“ Anthony said with a smile as he reached out for a cherry and put it near Maria's lips.

Maria opened her mouth, and Anthony gently placed the fruit on her tongue. The smile on his face grew wider when he did that.

“Well... Cyril trailed off. "It isn't convenient for the family to arrange a—"

“We don't need the Jenkins family to arrange anything for us!" Julie exclaimed with a frown, cutting off what Cyril was about to say. "We have our own place to live in Broome."

Even though the Smith family's reputation wasn't necessarily the same as the Jenkins family, they were still a genuinely wealthy family.

As for Anthony, he already bought a villa to settle down in when he and Maria first visit Broome.

Surely, there was no need for the Jenkins family to arrange anything for Anthony and Julie.

"LL see you in three days then, Miss Jenkins," Cyril said, shifting his gaze to Maria.

“Please don't be late.”

After that, Cyril and Hodge left, feeling completely embarrassed. Julie, Maria, Anthony, and Judy instantly felt relieved when they left the villa.
