Carson could sense that Marina was sizing him up, ready for a bit of friendly competition. He didn’t argue, just nodded in agreement. “You're absolutely right!” Marina ignored his nonchalant attitude and continued, “With such a scandalous revelation, | can’t wait to see the downfall of the MacClain family!” Carson's brows furrowed slightly. “I do feel for Jonah, though. Those are Estelle’s biological parents, after all. That blood bond isn’t something to overlook.” Marina scoffed coldly. “They sure didn’t think about blood bonds when they framed Estelle. People like them don’t deserve any mercy!” He looked at her, his handsface breaking into a small smile. “I've got to admit, | quite like your decisive nature.” Through this ordeal, Marina had cto see Carson in a new light; he wasn’t just another trust fund kid with no substance. She said candidly, “Once our engagement is off, we can still be friends!” Carson chuckled softly. “Why are you always on about breaking off the engagement?” Marina was forthright. “Being friends with someone like you is one thing, but lovers or spouses? That's a whole different ballgame.” Carson was left speechless. What did she think of him, really? A line of cars cruised down the streets of ] City towards the Lamont estate. Gabriel sat in the back of his car, the neon city lights blurring past the window, and he suddenly thought of Sylvia. Had he been too stingy in the past? Aside from a code name, he hadn't even given her a real name. She was in J City too. Had she cback? When everyone arrived back at the Lamont estate, Henson and Norah burst out to greet Estelle. “Estelle, you're finally back!” “We watched the livestream! You slapped those liars so hard they couldn't utter a word!” “Our grandparents wouldn't let us come. They made us wait at home. It was so lame. It must have been thrilling to be there!” Henson and Norah bombarded Estelle with their excitement until Catherine intervened. “Estelle’s been traveling all day. Let her rest a bit. There's plenty of tfor chats later.” Everyone laughed, and Geoffrey Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...
Lamont gestured for Old Mr. Jarvis and Old Mr. Quintin to enter first. The mood was light and jovial, a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere at the airport. It was a scene of harmony. Norah scanned the crowd and finally spotted Xavier. He seemed to have lost weight, his already rugged features now sharper. Feeling her gaze, he looked up, their eyes met, but his darkened quickly, and he looked away. A wave of sadness washed over Norah, and she turned to follow the others into the mansion. Inside the grand hall, Old Mr. Jarvis and Old Mr. Quintin took their places of honor while the servants served tea and the rest of the family settled down. Geoffrey spoke up, “This incident has escalated, and we have to take our share of the blame. Mr. Jarvis, it was too much to let you to call this way. We can’t apologize enough.” Old Mr. Jarvis waved it off. “I wanted to see Estelle, it was my own choice. Besides, with the wedding approaching, it's ther true identity was revealed.” Geoffrey nodded. “The MacClain and Crawley families won't be a problem. Jonathan will handle them. The Lamonts won't let anyone get away with targeting our daughter-in-law.” Old Mr. Quintin added, “How are things in B City?” Jonathan replied confidently, “The Gilder family has made their move, and the evidence is solid. We'll have results by tonight.” Old Mr. Quintin nodded in approval. “Good. They've shown their true colors and malicious intent towards Estelle. We can’t give them any chance to strike back.” Jonathan's gaze was sharp as steel. “Rest assured, they won't get one.”
