章 379: immediate family!!!

Facing everyone's criticisms, Joel's attitude remained indifferent.

These people were originally the backbone of Smith Corporation and were Ian's most capable subordinates. They had all seen Ian's depressed state because of Yvette.

Everyone hated Yvette to the core.

Therefore, when he first found out that Nora was his cousin, Joel had to ask Ian for permission before he could go and fetch her.

Joel said slowly, "Uncles, it was Uncle Ian who made the decision to bring Nora home. He even went to the Hunts' banquet personally. I'm sure you all know about this, right? Are you planning to disregard Uncle Ian's orders?"

His words silenced those people.

Joel knew that they were only there to stand up for Yvonne. These people were actually very reasonable people. He said sincerely, "Think about it. If Uncle Ian was still awake, would he have allowed Yvonne to do such a thing?"

Would he?

Of course not!
