Chapter 199
Estelle was enjoying her tea, and she was pretty happy that the bulter Old Mr. Wade knew she had a
sweet tooth, so he’d put sugar in it. It tasted nice.
But when she heard what Old Mr. Jarvis said, she almost spat out her tea and had to turn her head to
cough, not daring to look up.
Jonathan was taken aback, and his gaze quickly went cold. “What do you mean, si?”
Old Mr. Jarvis continued to fan himself, speaking calmly ‘Don’t get me wrong, I have an orchid cactus
plant about to bloom tonight, and I need someone to help me collect the pollen when it does. I’ll need
someone to spend the night, checking every fifteen minutes. I thought this girl could help, and if you’re
willing, you can pick her up tomorrow moming, along with the earrings. I won’t ask for a single cent

the earrings.”
Old Mr. Jarvis shook his head with a serious face. “No bargaining Either let this girl stay and help me,
or you two can leave now!”
Jonathan’s face remained cold as he took Estelle’s hand and got up. “Sorry to bother you. We’ll be
leaving”
With that, he turned and walked away with Estelle.
Estelle looked back and glared at Old Mr. Jarvis What was this old man up to?
She had already texted him beforehand, telling him to pretend not to know her and not to make things
difficult for Jonathan, just to give a decent price for the earrings
Old Mr. Jarvis rolled his eyes at her, snorted, and turned his head away, acting all superior,
Estelle was led out the door by Jonathan. In the corridor, Millard approached them. “Did Old Mr. Jarvis
agree?”
Jonathan kept his usual expression. “No, let’s go back.”
Estelle held onto Jonathan, though. “Are we just going to leave like this? Schilder loves his wife very
much, and he’s been looking for these earrings several times already. If we can bring them back, he
might be happy enough to sign the agreement right away.”
Jonathan spoke softly. “Even if we don’t have the earrings, I’ll still make him sign the agreement.”
“Well, that might take longer, and you’re not sure if anything might happen, right? And Baldrick won’t
give up on those earrings either.” Estelle gently coaxed him.
Jonathan’s eyes darkened. “I won’t let you stay”
Even if he trusted the Jarvis family and believed they wouldn’t harm Estelle, he wouldn’t leave her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmalone in a strange place, let alone use her as a bargaining chip. Estelle raised her eyebrow, ‘He said to
let you stay, but didn’t say that you necessarily had to leave.”
Jonathan’s eyes widened slightly, surprised.
Estelle smiled and led Jonathan back to the living room. With a light laugh, she said, “Old Mr. Jarvis, I
can stay, but Mr. Lamont has to stay too.”
Old Mr. Jarvis seemed to have expected them to change their minds, so he wasn’t surprised when they
came back. But when he heard Estelle’s words, he shook his head. “No, only you can stay‘
Estelle frowned slightly, “Are you sure? If there’s no room for negotiation, then we’re really leaving.
Once we’re gone, there will be no one to help you collect the pollen”
Old Mr. Jarvis pursed his lips and snorted but didn’t say anything.
“Alright, let’s just leave then!” Estelle sighed and led Jonathan outside once more.
As soon as they reached the door, they heard Old Mr. Jarvis suddenly call out from behind them.
“Come back, come back!
