Chapter 231
“I believe you,” Leopold suddenly said.
Just as Joel was about to retort, he suddenly heard Leopold’s voice.
Of course, Joel knew what Xavier was thinking. He wanted Joel to bring Zola out for them to meet.
He had been with Zola for several months and had never let her appear in front of them.
Sometimes, when he could not resist Xavier’s various coercions, he would just confess to them. He would ask for Zola’s opinion, and Zola would say
vno.
He knew that after Hayden family’s incident, Zola was insecure. No one knew that the two of them were in a relationship. Other than Zola’s best friends, Kylie and Quintina, Zola was worried that once too many people found out, Hayden family would make things difficult for him. Zola did not want to make things difficult for him. Zola also said that she knew Georgina very well. After some time passed and Georgina’s hatred for her became less intense, she would no longer deliberately target her.
At that time, they would be able to be together more smoothly.
Of course, Joel had to respect Zola.
Yes, he was the typical kind of person who cared more about his girlfriend.
Therefore, no matter what Xavier said, he would not say a word.
“Do you know who Joel’s girlfriend is?” Xavier asked, clearly shocked.
In the end, could it be that he was the only one among them who did not know?
He usually spent the most time with Joel, but Joel kept it from him?
Why? Was he really afraid that he would not even let go of his friend’s wife?
Xavier was furious when he heard Leopold’s reply. “I don’t know her. I just feel good.”
“Pfft.” Xavier looked down on him.
He had never seen her before, so how could he feel anything?
“Mr. Ellis, your dad and mom are preparing to eat. They want you to go to the hall to greet the guests first,” the servant walked over and said respectfully.
“Okay.” The three of them were playing in the gaming room on the third floor. Joel agreed. “You two play for a while more. I’ll go greet them first.
“Let’s go together. There’s nothing fun about it.”
“Let’s go together then.”
The three of them went downstairs.

Actually, there were not many guests at home today. They were all close relatives and best friends.
There was no need to be so polite.
Until.
After Joel went downstairs, they saw Georgina, Ethan’s aunt. Beside her was a shy girl who looked 70% to 80% similar to Zola. She should be Georgina’s biological daughter, Jaelynn.
The three of them were a little surprised to see them.
They didn’t come at noon and only came at this time.
Of course, Georgina was actually very close to Joel’s mother, Yasmin, so there was no need to make a fuss.
Joel, come over quickly.” Yasmin called out to Joel.
Joel walked over in two to three steps.
Xavier and Leopold followed him.
Your Auntie Georgina is here. Why aren’t you greeting her?” Yasmin called out to Joel.
“Georgina, Joel greeted politely.
He actually had some opinions about her.
Thinking of Georgina’s cruelty to Zola…
But on the surface, he couldn’t really not give his mother face.
For people like Joel, no matter how sloppy they were in private, they had to give their parents enough face on the surface. This was not because they were forced, but because of their upbringing.
“This is Georgina’s daughter, Jaelynn. She’s two years younger than you,” Yasmin introduced warmly.
Joel glanced at her.
She really looked like Zola, but she felt that she was different in every way.
“Hello,” Joel said politely.
“Hello.” Jaelynn was a little shy.
It had been a few months since she came to Hayden family, but she still did not seem to be used to life in the upper-class society. She was still worried about gains and losses, so she did not look too confident.
After that, there was nothing else to say
It was even a little awkward.
“You’re usually very good with words. Now that you see a beautiful girl, you’re mute,” Yasmin tried to smooth things over.

Joel wanted to refute.
Georgina said, “Normally, I don’t bring Jaelynn out much, causing her to be more introverted. It’s because I protected her too well.”
“In that case, bring Jaelynn out more often in the future. If Joel doesn’t have anything to do, he can also bring her along.”
“Who said I don’t have anything to do? I’m very busy,” Joel retorted.
“What are you busy with? Drinking?” Yasmin did not give her son any face.
Joel could not argue with her in front of everyone.
“In that case, I’ll have to trouble Joel to take care of Jaclynnin the future,” Georgina said.
Joel did not agree and was slapped by his mother.
“Okay,” Joel agreed reluctantly.
Xavier and Leopold watched from the side. The two of them looked at each other and could tell that this was a matchmaking!
“By the way, Georgina, I heard that Jaelynn is developing in the entertainment industry?” Yasmin started another topic.
“That’s right. There’s a drama I’m auditioning with her for today. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to your side at this time.”
“Did it go well?”
“It’s going quite smoothly. It shouldn’t be a big problem,” Georgina said.
“That’s true. With you around, who wouldn’t give you some face?” Yasmin joked.
Georgina did not refute.
She suddenly asked Leopold, “Leopold, you’ve been in the entertainment industry for so long. How’s Louis Malle’s acting?”
“He’s one of the few low-key and capable directors in the industry. It’s easy to be popular by acting in his scenes, Leopold commented sincerely.
“That’s good. I was worried that his lack of fame would be detrimental to Jaelynn’s development,” Georgina said worriedly.
Leopold pursed his lips.
During those years, Georgina never cared about Zola’s development in the entertainment industry.
Zola had relied on herself to carve out a bloody path.
But now, it was all blocked.

“Louis said that Jaclynn has just debuted. She started with the more likable second female lead. If she started acting as the female lead, he was afraid that she would not be able to suppress the drama. Instead, it would not be good for her future development and reputation. Is that so?” Georgina was not familiar with the entertainment industry and asked Leopold.
“Yes. This will be better for her future development.” Leopold nodded.
Actually, his attitude was distant.
“Do you have any dramas on hand? When the time comes, if there’s one suitable for Jaelynn, leave it for her, Georgina said naturally.
Leopold did not agree.
He could not refuse a conventional answer.
However, he would not let Jaclynn go through the back door.
“Leopold, there’s actually no need for you to be angry with your dad. After so long, your dad’s anger has long subsided. He just can’t bring himself to let you go back.” Georgina acted as a mediator. “You can come back anytime. I’ve reserved a room for you.”
“I will handle my own matters,” Leopold said indifferently.
Georgina did not say much. After all, it was not good to talk too much about his family’s private matters at someone else’s birthday party.
The few of them chatted for a while and sat at Ellis family’s banquet.
Jaelynn was arranged next to Joel.
Although Joel did not even look at her, Leopold and Xavier could tell that Jaelynn was interested in Joel.
