Chapter 21
Jonathan looked at Manley too, all chill and relaxed, not saying anything like he was waiting for Manley
to call
him uncle
Manley’s face was a bit stiff, and he forced a grin, “Another day. Estelle and I will come to visit formally
Hattie walked over the look in her eyes towards Estelle had changed From the previous hatred to now
warmth, she smiled and said. “So you’re Mr. Lamont’s niece! Gosh, what a huge misunderstanding!
Amy has a quick temper and her words lack discretion. Please don’t take it to heart
Amy quickly apologized. Treally had no idea you’re related to Mr. Lamont, it’s all my bad ́
Heather also came over, scared out of her wits. “Estelle. fm so sorry!”
Just because Estelle called Jonathan “uncle,” everyone changed their faces in a snap
Estelle’s eyes were cold, “Ms. Vang shouldn’t be calling me Estelle, but rather as Mom!”
Heather’s face instantly turned pale! © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
She thought that Jonathan would back up Hattie and say harsh words to Estelle, so she said those big
words of calling Estelle “Mom” if she didn’t back off.
But she spoke too soon. Estelle turned out to be Jonathan’s niece, much closer to him than Hattie.
And she could sense that Estelle was targeting her all along. Could it be that Jonathan’s niece liked
Morrison?
Hattie awkwardly laughed, “We all just got a little carried away by anger, don’t take it personally,
Estelle.”
Heather blurted out, “Yeah, consider my words as nonsense!”
Manley couldn’t help snickering, sarcastically remarking. “True actors indeed, with superb acting skills
to go along with the wind.”
Both Hattie and Heather had unpleasant expressions on their faces.
“What happened?” A cold voice suddenly came from behind them.
Kim looked back, and exclaimed, “Magdalen, you’re here!”
Magdalen had been stuck with Morrison all this time, and finally got out to find Estelle, only to discover
something went wrong.
She walked up to Estelle, scanning Heather and the others, “What’s the matter?”
Heather’s face changed instantly as she saw Magdalen. She turned her head away and said to Hattie,
“Hattie, I have something to do. Gotta go!” Then, she pushed past security and hurried off.
Hattie stared at Heather’s back in disbelief, her eyes cold. So Heather had just left her here all by
herself!
“It’s all fine now!” Kim laughed and said to Magdalen, then turned to Hattie, “Ms. Hattie, is your leg still
hurting? Do you want me to get a car to take you to the hospital for a check-up?”
Hattie replied quickly, “No need, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
After that, she turned to Jonathan and said softly, “I won’t keep Mr. Lamont any longer, I’ll get going
now.” Jonathan just hummed in response, and Amy immediately escorted Hattie away.
“Why did everyone run away as soon as I arrived?” Magdalen joked teasingly, coldness mixed with
laughter.
Kim gave a faint smile and answered, “I guess your appearance is intimidating!”
With the problem resolved, Jonathan just looked at Estelle indifferently, “Having dinner with friends?”
Estelle nodded, “Yeah.”
“Alright, go ahead, I’ll give you a call later.” Jonathan’s voice was mesmerizing and soothing as always.
“Alright, talk to you later!”
Estelle nodded slightly, not even glancing at Manley before leaving with Magdalen.
Kim followed the two and casually told the security to leave as well.
