Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 442

Even Samuel didn't dare to behave obnoxiously in front of Ian even if he was older than him.

It was just that the difference in generational roles between Ian and Samuel was simply too big. That was why he had the guts to come over and say such things.

However, Samuel sneered and said, "1 only said a few words, yet you're saying that I'm 'dictating' what you should be doing? Do you have any idea that word has already spread throughout the wealthy circle in New York that you've gone out of your mind because of a woman?! It's to the extent that you're already going against Karl Moore! If being a hero is what you want, then, by all means, go ahead! But why are you putting the Smiths at stake as a result? You may not be afraid of death, but we want to live!"

Sue nodded repeatedly. "He's right, Joel. However, our focus right now isn't about who the matriarch of the Smiths is. After all, it's not set in stone yet. I'm actually here today to persuade you to reconcile with the Joneses."

She looked at Tanya and said, "Hillary stole your child and deceived Joel, there's no doubt that she made a mistake there. But Jill is still your mother, no matter what, right? Surely you can't disregard even your own mother, right?! You and Hillary are technically sisters. Rather than making a fool out of yourselves in front of outsiders, in my opinion, why not let the whole thing pass altogether...? We can have the two families reconcile while you forgive Hillary. Let Joel do something about it and have her acquitted. This way, you won't make a fool out of yourself in front of others anymore. Don't you think I'm right?"

Tanya:"?!"

Her expression turned cold. "Mrs. Smith, I will never forgive a woman who stole my child, so I would advise you not to bother persuading us any further. If not, you can't hold it against me if I don't show you any courtesy!"

Sue curled her lips disdainfully. However, she took a step forward and held her hand again. "You silly girl, I'm not doing this for the Joneses; I'm doing this for you! Think about it, how are you going to gain a foothold in the Smiths when you don't have a notable background? No matter how awful the Joneses are, they can still be considered your family. If you fall out with them, you'll really become someone without a family! If a woman without a notable background like you doesn't have anyone backing you up, how are you going to be with Joel? Am I wrong?"

Her words made Tanya feel incredibly furious and shamed!

Honestly speaking, her status was indeed too low in comparison with Joel's.

After all, the Smiths' status was clear for all to see...

Moreover, she was already way past the point in her youthful days where love eclipsed all.

Were it back then, she would have said mockingly, "So what even if I don't have a notable background? Joel and I are truly in love with each other!"

However, the five years she had spent living abroad had made her thoroughly understand what life really was like. She had also come to understand that one's birth and family background were indeed their first hurdle in life!

Some people were born at the top of the pyramid, but she was instead at the furthest end of the line, unable to hold a candle to them.

She clenched her fists tightly, and her face flushed with shame.

Nora couldn't make herself listen anymore. She looked up and said in a low voice, "Who says she doesn't have anyone backing her up?"

Sue looked at her.

She didn't want to offend Nora—after all, she was Ian's daughter!

The entire family knew just how protective Ian was of his own. If she dared so much as to look at Nora the wrong way, Ian would surely crawl all the way out of the hospital and barge into their home to beat them up the very next moment.

However, she still curled her lips disdainfully. At the bottom of it all, she was still just a girl raised in a small household in a small town in California. She simply spoke so arrogantly and was completely lacking in foundation and cultivation.

She asked with a big smile, "Oh? Is Tanya the daughter of an internationally wealthy family? So, she comes from a very impressive family? Why haven't I heard of that?!"

Tanya:"!"

Just as Tanya was at a loss for words, Nora glanced at Justin.

Justin got the hint and got up at once. "Mrs. Smith, I forgot to make the introductions. Tanya is my younger god-sister."

As soon as he said that, Nora coughed and retorted, "She's your elder god-sister."

Tanya was a year older than Nora.
