Mable rolled her eyes at her. "The James Village has so many people. Are you seriously worried no one will have your back?"
"The unity of The James Village isn't just an exaggerated rumor!"
Yolanda was still wavering, and Mable was officially running out of patience with her younger cousin.
"If you're not interested, I'll just go turn them down right now."
"His family is still waiting for a firm answer from you."
Hearing this, Yolanda finally panicked. "You can't do that!"
"It's a simple yes or no," Mable said, staring her down. "With your indecisive
personality, his family might not even want you anyway."
If she hadn't talked up a storm about how great her cousin was, they never would have looked twice at Yolanda's modest background.
"I..." Yolanda never imagined for a second that the guy's family might actually reject her.
"The only advantage you have going for you is your pretty face."
Eavesdropping on the conversation, Claire instinctively glanced over at Yolanda.
Wow, she really was gorgeous!
She had that fresh, luminous complexion of a country beauty.
While her aura might not match a polished city girl, her raw potential was undeniable.
And a lot of men absolutely adored this specific type-pure, innocent, and completely unblemished.
But would Dewitt like her?
Hard to say!
"Mable!" Yolanda shot her cousin a gentle glare. "Can you ask for me? If Dewitt agrees, then..."
Before she could even finish, Mable eagerly cut her off. "Then we'll set up the formal introduction."
Mable desperately wanted Yolanda to marry into The James Village.
Decades ago, people avoided The James Village like the plague because of their wealthy landowners during those turbulent times.
But things were entirely different now. The James Village had only flourished to its current glory because of Pandora.
Was it because the village couldn't afford to pave their roads in the past?
No!
It was simply because Pandora hadn't wanted to pave them yet!
If she wanted to build, the funding was instantly available.
If she wanted to build, the manpower was instantly ready!
The annual welfare benefits of The James Village made everyone in the surrounding towns green with envy.

Dewitt had only been back for two days, and half the county already had their eyes on him.
If Yolanda wasn't so stunningly pretty, Mable would have thought she had zero competitive edge.
She probably would have had to give up entirely.
"Yolanda, if you actually get chosen, you better not forget your favorite cousin!"
Yolanda was speechless. *Are we treating this like a beauty pageant?*
"Mable, even if I forgot my own name, I would never forget you."
Her cousin had always looked out for her since they were little, and Yolanda always remembered that kindness.
With their plan settled, the two women finally noticed Claire and Jenny standing nearby.
They were a bit curious. Since when were there foreigners in The James Village?
"Hello, are you guys from The James Village too?"
Both Claire and Jenny possessed absolutely radiant complexions and stunning features.
A flash of awe crossed the sisters' eyes.
Mable's first thought was absolute dread: *Oh no, are they here for the blind date with Dewitt too?*
If that were true, did her cousin even stand a chance?
"Yes, we're from The James Village."
Claire nodded.
From the village?
Mable quickly calculated the odds That meant they were likely of the same clan and shared the same surname, meaning they couldn't intermarry Content belon FindNovel.net
She then noticed Jenny's protective
hand over her stomach, and
realization dawned on her. *Ah, she's pregnant!
This must be a wife one of the James men brought back.
The competition really was brutal-they were even marrying foreign women now!
"Do you happen to know Dewitt?"
Mable immediately started fishing for information.
She already knew his general background.
But what if the locals knew some juicy details she had missed?
"I do," Claire smiled. "He's my cousin."
