Chapter 728
Zella gave a wan smile, rising from her seat, “It’s getting late. I should head home.”
After Zella left, Marcel slammed his fist on the table, a hint of impatience in his demeanor.
Getting married wasn’t mandatory in life. Why was she making such a fuss about such a trivial matter?
。
Zella exited the office, heading straight for the parking lot. As she opened her car door, a pair of hands held it shut,
Zella, let’s talk.”
At the sound of the voice, Zella’s eyes flashed with annoyance, “Scram!”
She obeyed Marcel’s every word because she was in love with him.
And what right did Joie have to provoke her?
“Zella, you’ve been with Marcel for years, and you still haven’t married him. Why are you still with him?”
Joie had found out that Zella and Marcel had been on and off for over a decade. They even had a child, but they
weren’t married. Clearly, Marcel had no intention of marrying her!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZella grabbed Joie by the collar, her movements swift and precise.
“Thud”
Joie was thrown to the ground, Zella’s gaze lowered, “Joie, just because Granny Grace accepted you as her
granddaughter doesn’t mean I accept you as a sister. All day, you call him ‘brother.’ Are you a chicken?”
“You…” Joie’s face turned red.
Zella squatted down, gripping her chin, “It’s not your place to meddle in Marcel’s and my business. As for you trying
to hook up with Marcel, I suggest you think twice before acting. You wouldn’t want to get hurt, would you?”
Joie’s face turned pale.
Zella dropped her, got in her car, and drove away.
Back at the Salter family townhouse, Zella called the her father, “Father, Marcel said he’s not considering marriage
at the moment.”
Her father’s face darkened, “Zella, you two have been together for so long. If he refuses to marry you, you should
start making other plans.”
Was Marcel refusing to marry her because he had other plans?
Zella hung up without a word, blocking out all the bad news.
The news of Brittany and Isaac’s divorce was spreading within their circles.
When Tanya Chester got the news, she was overjoyed.
After all those years of their entanglement, it was finally over.
Brittany’s divorce had left Tanya somewhat worried about her future.
But the previous blind date she’d set up for Brittany had been a total mismatch, and it had almost caused a ruckus.
Unable to sleep, Tanya woke her husband, “Bri is divorced. Aren’t you going to do something?”
Blake Chester knew what she was thinking and sighed, “Remember the blind date we set up last time?”
Tanya pouted, “But I’m only worried about her.”
Blake had a sudden thought, “Actually, there is a suitable candidate. I know a guy in finance. He’s quite outstanding,
comes from a good family, and has a good relationship with the Bishop family. Introducing him to Bri might be a
good match.”
Tanya immediately perked up, “What are you waiting for? Arrange it soon.”
Blake contemplated for a moment, “I’ll invite Bri over for dinner tomorrow, and I’ll bring up this topic then, all

Tanya was satisfied and went back to sleep.
Brittany, hearing about the arranged date, was overwhelmed.
“I’m not considering marriage at the moment.”
All her focus was on her work and her son, Daniel. Dating and getting married were things she dared not think
about.
Tanya knew she couldn’t rush things, “Blake and I aren’t trying to force you into marriage. We just want you to meet
more people. You grew up before our eyes. You’re like our own daughter. We just want you to be happy.”
Brittany couldn’t refuse to hear that, “All right then.”
After lunch, Brittany stayed over at the Chester family’s house.
In the evening, a guest arrived.,
It was probably the blind date Tanya had arranged.
Tanya had a beaming smile on her face.
Brittany looked up at the sound of footsteps, and her eyes widened in surprise.
It was him!
