Chapter 17
He couldn’t calm down anymore, his tone full of unwillingness.
“I disagree! Lesly must not marry into the Leach family! Where is she? 1 will
go find her!”
Jessie suddenly looked up, and his expression in his eyes changed instantly.
“Justin, why did you obstruct when sister was willing?”
Rashad and Taniya followed suit upon seeing the situation.
“Jessie was right, the Leach family in Erifield was also a prestigious and noble family, Lesly might have had a bit of a hard time after marrying into it, but she would definitely not be wronged.”
Watching the Holden family, all four of them had a look of agreement, while Justin was still trying to reason with them.
“But Lesly is the Holden family’s biological daughter, she was raised as a pampered child since childhood, how can she go and take care of a vegetable person? And didn’t we agree at that time, adopting Jessie was…
Seeing that he was about to reveal the truth, Cedric also became anxious and interrupted him
When the engagement was arranged, it was agreed that Lesly would marry into the Leach family. How can they go back on their word? What kind of family is the Leach family? Jessie is just a foster daughter, she will definitely be criticized if she is married off in place of Lesly. How can they let her suffer such injustice?
Achill rose from Justin’s heart.
He first experienced firsthand what it felt like for Lesly to be ignored in these five years.
Jessie, with red eyes, started to complain with a sense of grievance.
“Exactly! It’s Lesly’s own wedding, why should I bear it on behalf of her? Justin, when you say such things, I will ignore you!”
Watching Jessie run away crying, the Holden family telt extremely sorry and all went after her to comfort her.
Only Justin remained standing in the same spot, with no movement at all.
He clenched his fist and quickly made a phone call to his secretary.
The next day, the secretary found out Lesly’s whereabouts and reported it,
“Mr. Norman, Ms. Holden lived in the Leach’s mansion now, and their wedding was going to be held tomorrow.”
At the end, a sentence made Justin’s heart skip a beat.
He booked the next flight to Erifield directly.
Then he called Lesly countless times and sent her countless messages, asking her to cancel the wedding.
She, however, never had any news.
Before boarding, Jessie, who didn’t know where she received the news from, also rushed to the airport and angrily intercepted Justin with a furious expression on her face.
If you go to Erfield, we will no longer be in contact!
Justin’s mind was full of Lesly, he had no interest in listening to her nonsense.
“Jessie, Lesly was your sister, and she was my childhood friend. How could I stand by and watch her jump Into the fire pit?”
“I don’t care! If you left today, I would never talk to you again!”
The boarding reminder announcement had already sounded, and Justin had no patience to explain to her anymore. He brushed her hand aside. Jessie was so angry that she couldn’t care about her image anymore and burst into tears on
Cedric, who hurriedly followed her, saw her appearance and quickly embraced her.

Watching Justin’s resolute departure, she felt a pang in her heart
“Justin, if you went to see Lesly today, I would agree to marry Cedric!”
Justin stopped in his tracks and turned around to look
Chapter
Jessie, pasping for breath, was held in the arms of a jubilant Cedric, with only defiance in her eyes as she looked at him.
He knew that, with her competitive and ambitious personality, it was highly likely for her to do such a thing in order to spite him
Compared to her marrying Cedric, it was obviously more difficult for him to accept that Lesly would marry someone else.
So he hesitated for only a few seconds and made a decision.
