To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 681

Brandon wasn't angry upon being rejected by Jenny. He now felt it would be better to marry a woman like her than Jolene. When he first saw the news about Jolene and James, he was indeed quite angry, but that anger was quickly replaced by relief, for he was glad he no longer had to marry that foolish woman.

"Miss Walter, you don't have to refuse me so quickly. What if you fall in love with me one day?" Brandon smiled, thinking that matters of the heart were volatile and unpredictable.

He believed it was easy to win over women—he just needed to romance and treat them well, and they would fall for him.

A corner of Jenny's mouth twitched. She couldn't understand how Brandon was so confident in himself. "Mr. Britt, rest assured. That day will never come."

The moment she said it, Brandon's face fell immediately. Jenny didn't mince her words; she went straight for the kill and humiliated him.

Just as he was about to speak again, Jenny interrupted him bluntly, "Mr. Britt, the banquet is about to begin. I still have things to do, so please excuse me."

Jenny left right away, dragging Stephanie along. She wasn't interested in continuing her conversation with Brandon as she could tell his thoughts. That was precisely the reason she felt disgusted with him.

Someone like him wouldn't understand what it meant to really like someone. Everything he did was based on self-interest. While most people wouldn't think he was wrong, Jenny didn't hold the same opinion. She was repulsed by people like him.

She led Stephanie to another corner. Upon seeing that Brandon didn't follow them, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're so popular now, Jenny." Stephanie stifled a laugh with her hand over her mouth, clearly enjoying Jenny's misfortune.

Jenny glared at her and said in annoyance, "If you laugh at me again, I'll make them come and bug you. Would you like that?"

After her short speech, the audience applauded because they thought she sounded quite sincere. However, James remained expressionless, and a hint of contempt could be seen on his face. Jolene didn't care and turned her gaze to Jenny, who was hiding in the corner.

"Jenny, I'll leave the family to you from now on. I believe you can handle it well since Father always says you're smarter than me."

Jenny groaned internally, "Why are you bringing me into this now? I don't believe your words one bit."

Jolene then thanked her parents and finished her speech.

She made it seem like she was getting married, but it was just an engagement. The wedding date was still not confirmed, so her marriage to James wasn't set in stone yet. Jolene left herself no room to back down by saying all that.
