Chapter 642
The next day, Jonathan left early in the morning, seemingly still busy with yesterday’s acquisition
Estelle accompanied the Lamont family’s driver to Henson’s place for his tutoring session
After the class, Henson suggested, “I’m meeting my friends to play basketball later Want to come along?”
“What would I do there? Estelle asked casually as she packed up her things.
“My friend’s bringing his attractive sister to cheer him on. I can’t let myself be embarrassed, can I?” Henson explained
Estelle chuckled, “Well, I’m not actually your sister!”
“Just pretend to be for a little while. My actual sister has been really busy lately, probably because she’s got a new boyfriend!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“You guessed wrong Your sister has actually taken up a part–time job to keep herself occupied
Henson frowned, “So, are you coming or not?”
“Of course!” Estelle exclaimed with delight. “I can’t let you lose face!”
Henson grinned, “I knew I could count on you!”
Estelle suggested, “I’ll head home first. Just give me the address, and I’ll take a taxi there”
That’s so much trouble, why don’t you stay for lunch and we’ll go together?”
“I have something to do at noon, don’t worry, I won’t be late!”
“Alright then, it’s at the same stadium we played last time. Call me when you’re there!”
“Deal‘ Estelle slung her bag over her shoulder and said, “I’m off, see you this afternoon!”
Henson waved at her casually.
Estelle did have something to do in the afternoon She had agreed to have dinner at Old Mr Quintin’s with Jason.
Jason picked her up in front of the University of J City and headed to Old Mr Quintin’s home in N City
Upon entering the courtyard, they heard people talking inside and saw Albert there as well
During dinner, Albert mentioned Carmella, 1 heard she was fired by your studio, Mrs Macclain called me yesterday saying Carmella’s been really down, asking me to put in a good word for her and see if she can get back in?”
Jason frowned and asked, “Didn’t she mention why Carmella was fired?”
Albert shook his head, “No specifics, only that she was chased off by an assistant”
Jason instinctively looked at Estelle, feeling both pity and coldness Estelle’s mother, Simone, knew full well that Carmella was fired for plagiarizing Estelle’s work yet still accused Estelle of chasing her away
How could a mother be so biased, especially when Estelle is her own daughter!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEstelle’s expression remained calm, though Old Mr Quintin urged her to eat more vegetables, saying he had grown them himself She obliged, eating a few bites and praising them before turning her attention to the pork chops.
“If you see Mrs Macclain, you can tell her directly that we have no tolerance for plagiarists, so she should give up any hope of returning! If she keeps talking nonsense, I’ll release the news and let everyone know about Carmella’s plagiarism!”
Albert was startled and asked, “What do you mean? Carmella plagiarized?”
“Yes, the evidence is conclusive” Jason said coldly
Albert’s face turned red with embarrassment, he frowned and said, “Why would Carmella do something like that? She’s actually quite talented, just a bit too eager for success, especially under Mrs Macclain’s influence, she’s become increasingly impetuous”
It’s a matter of character“” Jason said bluntly
Albert looked even more ashamed, “I guess I failed as a teacher Please forget what I said earlier about helping her
Jason gently said, “It’s not your fault”
Meanwhile, Old Mr Quintin seemed uninterested in the conversation, focusing solely on serving Estelle food, worried she might not be happy and wouldn’t come back next time
After dinner and sitting with Old Mr Quintin for a while, Jason took Estelle to leave
