Chapter 1289
“No way!” Sabina sneered, “Estelle and Jonathan? In what universe?”
“You’ve got a point!” Natalia agreed, “Sure, Estelle is pretty, but there are plenty of gorgeous women out there. It’s
not like Jonathan hasn’t seen any.”
She laughed scornfully, “Based on how your grandparents were fawning over Estelle, you’d think the was already
the queen of the Lamont family. What a joker “Don’t worry, whoever ends up as Jonathan’s wife, it won’t be Estelle
Sabina said dismissively and went into the living room.
After calling Estelle, Bennett was summoned by Terrence to his study.
Terrence looked furious, 1 need you to bring Estelle home night away!”
Bennett frowned, “I would love to, but Estelle doesn’t want to come back”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Isn’t it because you and Simone have been treating her poorly? Look at how things are going. Jonathan obviously
values Estelle. Even if he doesn’t want to marry her, she still holds weight in his eyes.” Terrence’s eyes sparkled with
excitement, “And look at Carmella. I thought she was capable, but she’s been slipping. I know you’ve raised her for
over twenty years and you care for her, so I won’t force you to cut ties. Just marry her off soon, that would be a
contribution to the Macclain family.”
“Well” Bennett hesitated, 1 will discuss it with Simone”
“Simone’s thinking is too simplistic, all from a woman’s perspective. You can’t always side with her. You need to
bring Estelle back as soon as possible and build a relationship
“Alright”
After his conversation with Terrence, Bennett left with Simone and Carmella.
Given the circumstances, there was no reason for them to stay any longer.
The ride home was silent.
Once home, Carmella saw Simone’s sombre face, kept her mouth shut, and went upstairs
After a while, she heard a noise from the next room. She peeked out, then quietly left her room to eavesdrop
Simone was fuming. “Estelle really knows how to play her cards to get Jonathan on her side. She must be thrilled
watching us getting scolded by him.”
Berinett frowned, “It’s not really Estelle’s fault what happened today. We can’t just listen to Carmella anymore!”
“Carmella is as useless as they come!” Simone raged, I thought we could rely on her to uphold our dignity, but she’s
a huge letdown!”
“Seems like she’s no match for Estelle now!” Bennett’s voice came through the door
Simone said, “But we’ve already offended Estelle, do you think she’ll forgive us?”
Bennett complained, “That’s because of the things you said earlier. You left no room for compromise.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“How was I to know Carmella would be so useless” Simone said angrily.
“Today, both Jonathan and Henson were supportive of Estelle, and it seems she’s doing well in the Lamont family.
She gets along with Yulia, and her career is going well. We definitely screwed up.” Bennett sighed, “But we’re still
family, there’s still a chance to make things right.”
Simone asked, “What do you mean?”
1 mean, we could invite Estelle to come live with us. If she feels our kindness, maybe her heart will warm up to us
Bennett suggested.
Simone thought for a moment and shook her head, “If we do that we might lose Carmella.
She had raised Carmella as her own daughter since she was little. Even though she got angry at times, her feelings
for her were real.
Bennett didn’t respond.
Simone then asked. “What did your father talk about when you went to the study today?”
