The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 399

"Honestly, you men should just go custom-program an AI robot to marry and take home."

So much for not roasting him.

Felix sighed helplessly and seamlessly changed the subject. "Nora also comes from an incredibly prestigious background."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that she's not close to her family—that's actually a huge plus. She has a sister in big business, a brother in high-level politics, a highly respected grandfather, and highly successful uncles and cousins. Even if they aren't close, they are blood relatives, and they'll step in to help when it truly matters."

"As for her toxic parents, since that mess isn't out in the open, it's virtually a non-issue. If anything, it's an excellent leverage point."

"She has a stellar family background, but there's zero risk of her funneling her husband's money back to her parents. She is a completely independent, outstanding individual. Based on that alone, any man would put her on a pedestal."

Jasmine chewed over Felix's words and asked softly, "So, do women who financially support their maiden families disgust people?"

"Only if they overdo it," Cassidy chimed in. "For example, if after you get married, you not only give every dime you earn to your parents, but you also take your husband's money to subsidize them—that's crossing the line."

Jasmine thought about it. Yes, she financially supported her siblings, but she only used a portion of her own earnings to take care of Valery and Nathan. The rest of her money was more than enough to support herself, and she had never once considered scheming for someone else's wealth. She figured that shouldn't count as crossing the line.

Felix naturally picked up on Jasmine's underlying anxiety.

This was a bad topic to dwell on.

So, he quickly pivoted again. "Why hasn't Nora finished chatting yet? Is she stuck over there? Should we go rescue her?"

"She's Mrs. Jameson. Who'd dare trap her in a conversation?"

If this had been the Nora of a year ago, Cassidy might have actually worried about whether she could handle herself. But this year's Nora? Not a chance. She knew exactly what she was doing.

And indeed, she did.

Felix had graduated from The Juilliard School, and one of his closest buddies was a new-generation director. Since graduating, the guy had directed two highly abstract indie series, earning him a reputation as a renowned auteur in the avant-garde scene.

But art is an isolating path.

He was desperate to create another mind-bending masterpiece that would shatter the earth, but he lacked the support and encouragement to do so. Hearing that Nora had decent connections in the entertainment industry, he eagerly sidled up to pitch her.

Nora was also an artist in her own right.

But even she couldn't fully wrap her head around concepts that were *too* abstract.

However, modern society fostered a bizarre phenomenon: purely abstract things went ignored, but things that were so absurdly abstract they left people speechless often attracted an audience desperate to taste the crazy for themselves.

Nora promised to ask Leona York if there were any D-list or struggling actors at her agency with solid fundamentals who hadn't caught their big break yet and might be willing to take a massive gamble on an avant-garde career path.
