Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1494: Convincing him to break off the engagement

Breaking off Finn and Cassandra's engagement was not easy. They had been destined to marry since childhood, and their wedding was anticipated by everyone. How Finn managed to dissolve it wasn't simple either, but the Davis family supported his decision. Moreover, they assured that this wouldn't strain their families' relationship.

And it held true.

The Davis family remained staunch supporters of the Smiths. Finn's parents maintained a cordial relationship with Senator Smith and Cassandra's parents.

So, if there was someone who could break off this engagement, that would be Jonathan.

Even so, in Cassandra's heart, there was a lingering unease. Yet, a small part of her hoped and wanted to believe in Jonathan and the Pierson family.

Ding Dong!

Standing at the villa's entrance, Cassandra drew a deep breath. She pursed her lips, fixated on the door, waiting for someone to open it. After a moment, she heard movement inside, and the door swung open.

"Cassy?" Jonathan's face lit up with surprise as their eyes met. "I didn't expect you tonight."

She forced a smile. "Is this a bad time?"

"Not at all," he smiled, pushing the door wider. "Please, come in."

"Thank you," she murmured as she entered, her gaze following him.

"Have you eaten? I didn't anticipate your visit, but I can check what's left." Jonathan started, turning to her, only to see her shake her head.

"I'm fine," she assured him. "I just finished dinner with my family." "Oh, a family dinner?"

"Mhm." Her chest rose and fell heavily as she watched him extend his hand.

"Then, shall we at least sit?" A gentle smile graced his face as he waited for her to take his hand.

A faint smile appeared on her face as she clasped his hand, allowing him to lead her to the living area. As they settled down, Jonathan turned to her. freewebnøvel.com
