Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 271

Justin's girlfriend was Nora, and Nora was a Smith. What was that, if not a political marriage?

However, Joel's voice had been very low, so the others didn't hear him clearly. Warren asked, "What did you say, Joel?"

Joel coughed. "It's nothing."

Warren nodded. "Yes, our families have already agreed on the political marriage, so Justin has to take someone from the Smiths as his wife. How can he go back on his word like that? And make Yvonne wait for him for so many years in vain?"

Joel glanced at Warren when he said that, but didn't say anything.

As for Yvonne, she lowered her head and said, "Don't say any more, Warren. Let's have dinner first."

After dinner, everyone left indignantly. Yvonne was about to go upstairs when Joel stopped her. He said, "Yvonne."

Yvonne walked up to Joel obediently and called out respectfully, "Joel."

Joel said dispassionately, "Regarding the Hunts, I've already told you Justin's stance a few years ago. You said at the time that Justin didn't have a girlfriend and you weren't in any hurry to find a boyfriend, and so, it dragged on just like that. But now that he has a girlfriend, what are your thoughts on the matter?"

The Hunts and the Smiths were originally planning a political marriage between Justin and Yvonne.

In fact, they had brought it up before when the two were eighteen years old. Pete didn't exist at that time yet, but Justin had nonetheless rejected the idea.

However, because he was concerned that it would embarrass Yvonne, he had discussed it privately with Joel instead.

Joel had subsequently relayed the message to Yvonne, so that she wouldn't waste time on it anymore.

As Yvonne hadn't looked for a boyfriend all these years, and since Justin didn't have a girlfriend, Joel didn't announce the decision at home, thinking that there might still be possibilities between the two of them.

Therefore, Justin hadn't done anything to let Yvonne down at all. It was just that the rest of the family didn't know about it.

Yvonne's eyes flickered when she heard him. She lowered her head and said, "I will do as you say, Joel."

She knew that Joel had always been someone extremely protective of his own.

When she said back then that she wasn't going to look for a boyfriend for the time being, he had immediately understood what she meant. It was just that they couldn't force Justin into anything, so the situation had dragged on till now.

But someone had intercepted her in the end instead.

Although Joel looked as if he was always smiling, and was amicable and easy to get along with on the surface, Yvonne knew just how domineering a person he was

deep down.

As long as his younger sister—even if just a titular one— was still part of the Smiths, no outsider was allowed to bully her!

Therefore, Yvonne was confident that Joel would think of a solution for her—or at least, he would break Justin and Nora up.

In the midst of her beautiful daydream, Joel instead said unhurriedly, "In that case, don't pursue it anymore. As they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. You might as well use this opportunity to take a look at other people."

Yvonne:"?"

She lifted her head abruptly and looked at Joel in disbelief.

For a while, she couldn't quite control the expression on her face.

How did this...

Her fists balled up. It was only a moment later that she finally said, "I... I'll do as you say, Joel."

Joel nodded.

He stared at Yvonne for a while, which made her ask hesitantly, "Is there anything else, Joel?"

Joel retracted his gaze, a touch of disappointment flashing across his eyes. "No, there isn't."
