To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 682

More importantly, the Britts were also present. By saying she'd always liked James, Jolene basically admitted to making a fool out of the Britts when she previously agreed to the engagement with Brandon.

Many people surreptitiously stole glances at the Britts in the hall to see their expressions. As expected, they clearly weren't thrilled.

Brandon didn't exactly like Jolene, but at that moment, everyone looked at him with a sympathetic expression as if they were sorry that he'd been fooled.

He'd initially decided not to pursue the matter, but if he left it at that, everyone would think he was too afraid of the Walters to retaliate. Wanting to uphold his dignity, he raised his glass and walked toward Jolene.

At that moment, Jolene was busy socializing and receiving well wishes. Tonight was easily the most glorious day in her whole life. Regardless of what others said, she was basically half a Windsor now, and she'd successfully elevated herself to a higher status. Even if those people were secretly envious of her, they could only put on a fake smile and congratulate her.

"You're quite good at scheming, Miss Walter," Brandon said. That was the first time the two met and talked after the incident with James happened.

Jolene didn't dare to face Brandon and had been avoiding him. At the same time, Brandon didn't look for her either. Now, on this occasion, she couldn't hide from him even if she wanted to. They were bound to see each other there one way or another.

As Jolene's gaze landed on Brandon, she inexplicably felt a little frightened. "Mr. Britt, I'm sorry about what happened before. You know, at that time, I was forced by my father."

"Oh? So, everything you said to me was a lie, was it?" Brandon sneered. He remembered clearly that Jolene had told him she liked him before but didn't want to settle down so quickly. Now, she was saying that she'd been forced by Graham instead. She was capable of nothing but lies; none of the words that she'd said held any truth.

Jolene forced a smile. Only they knew what had happened between them. Fortunately, she didn't leave any evidence. Therefore, she just needed to deny she'd ever said that she liked him.

"Mr. Britt, we know you like Jo, but she doesn't like you. Isn't it pointless for you to continue pestering her?" Jolene's friend spoke up. Previously, they'd thought Brandon was not a bad choice. But now that Jolene had James, Brandon was way inferior as a suitor.

"That's right, Mr. Britt. If you really like Jo, you should wish her well," another friend of Jolene's added.
