Chapter 1677
Tossing his phone aside, Jonathan frowned, a storm of fury and concern for Estelle swirling within him.
Estelle, who had been abused by her foster parents as a child, had been further wounded by her own parents upon
returning to the Macclain family.
Why on earth had she come back to the Macclain family?
For him!
Estelle had come rushing back for him, and he had failed to protect her!
If only he could turn back the hands of time, dig deeper after Stella’s incident, and discover that she wasn’t dead. If
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe had chased her all the way to C City, perhaps they wouldn’t have had to go through such tumultuous times.
And she wouldn’t have had to face those wolves in sheep’s clothing in the Macclain family!
He knew she didn’t care about them, that she only cared for those who loved her, but it still pained him!
After all, the Bennetts were her biological parents, bound by blood. Who in this world wouldn’t yearn for the love of
their parents?
His heart ached with guilt and pain, but at the same time, he felt relieved that his Estelle hadn’t been raised by the
Bennetts!
After ending the call, Bennett paced back and forth in his office, puzzled about the exact nature of the relationship
between Estelle and Jonathan.
They were supposed to have divorced. Jonathan had been cold and clearly despised Estelle, and it was only after
losing hope in their relationship that he had agreed to annul their engagement.
So why was Jonathan now so protective of Estelle?
Just because Estelle was the governess of the Lamont family?
Was Jonathan really that petty?
After some thought, Bennett dialed Estelle’s number. After four or five rings, Estelle picked up.
Bennett sounded anxious and concerned, “Estelle, how are you doing? I saw the posts online and I’m really worried
about you. Where are you? Do you want me to pick you up and bring you home?”
Estelle responded with her usual calm and cold demeanor, “If I come home now, won’t there be posts saying that
my ‘true nature’ has been exposed and I’m now pretending to get along with you?”
Taken aback, Bennett immediately replied, “Of course not. I’ll pick you up discreetly. No one will see.”

Estelle let out a cryptic, cold laugh, “Really?”
Bennett’s gaze flickered, unsure of what Estelle meant. Struggling to hide his anxiety, he hurriedly said, “Estelle,
why don’t I announce your identity? That way, these rumors will fall apart.”
“There must be conditions, right?” Estelle asked.
Blocked at every turn by Estelle’s words, Bennett was growing frustrated but dared not let it show in his tone. “Your
grandfather has been pressuring me these past few days. Please help me out, apologize to Ms. Antonia, and design
a new dress. As soon as you agree, I’ll make the announcement. Estelle, don’t you find it strange that someone
suddenly leaked your scandal? It must be Ms. Antonia taking revenge. I told you, opposing the Crawley family will
only bring you harm. As long as you’re willing to back down now, I can persuade the Crawley family to stop
pursuing this. The online issue will also be suppressed!”
