"This is Dad, and this is Aunt Susanna," Joseph Thompson introduces by pointing at the middle-aged man and noblewoman, and then pointing at the young man, he says, "That's my younger brother, Jonny Thompson."
No wonder she thought that young man resembled Joseph Thompson; he was his brother.
"This is my cousin, Zachary Thompson," Joseph points at the Clayton CEO for Jaylene, "You must have seen him before at Clayton Corp. He's the CEO of Clayton Construction."
After exchanging greetings one by one, Jaylene sits next to Joseph, and next to Joseph is Jonny Thompson.
Perhaps because she felt somewhat insecure in her heart, or perhaps because she thought it was indeed impolite not to bring a gift, she remained silent, listening to the elders' conversation after sitting down, obviously lacking confidence.
This all naturally falls into everyone's view, as well as Joseph's.
So, he never let go of Jaylene's hand, holding it tightly to give her strength and confidence in secret.
