After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1046

Daisy’s expression darkened slightly at Jolie’s words, but she held back from lashing out. “That’s all in the past. What’s the point of bringing it up now? You and Selena are sisters, after all. You should reach out to her more. Convince her to come back. She’s still part of the Quin family.”

In recent years, both her parents, especially her father, had become fixated on reconnecting with Selena.

Despite multiple attempts, Selena had kept her distance, and even after finally making contact, she barely exchanged a few words with them before cutting off all communication again. The more they tried, the further she drifted away.

Jolie remained quiet, observing Daisy. She had no right to criticize her mother—after all, it was she who had always been favored growing up. The Quin family had never done anything wrong by her.

“I understand. I’ll try,” Jolie finally relented, though the thought of facing Selena’s distant and prickly demeanor again made her uneasy.

Perhaps, deep down, her sister did care for her in some way.

Daisy smiled, satisfied. “Good. That’s the right attitude. It’s getting late; you should get some rest.”

She rose to leave but stopped at the door, seemingly remembering something. “Oh, by the way, you have that meeting tomorrow. The one Mrs. Lowe introduced. You should at least go meet him. Even if you don’t like him, skipping it would leave a bad impression. Understand?”

Jolie’s brow furrowed. “Mom, I don’t want to go.”

Daisy’s tone became softer but firm. “Jolie, the Lowe family is a business partner of ours, and right now, the Quin family needs this opportunity. Mrs. Lowe just wants to introduce you to a friend.

“I know you don’t like these setups, but we have to make an effort. Show them we’re serious, even if you’re not interested. Just go for a little while. You don’t even have to dress up if you don’t want to. Can you do that?”

Jolie lowered her eyes, a flicker of bitterness crossing her face. She had always been the favored one growing up, but now, when the family’s interests were at stake, her importance seemed to take a backseat.

In the Quin family, business always came first. Her “favor” had only been due to a fortune-teller’s words years ago, claiming that anyone who treated her well would experience good luck.
