Chapter 44


    The moment the bedroom door closed, Estelle rxed and thought about her conversation with


    Jonathan just now. It seemed a bit unbelievable, but she didn’t think she’d acted impulsively.


    She turned to look for her phone and found it charging on the cab across the room. It had run out of


    power and shut down.


    When she turned it on, a bunch of missed calls and texts popped up.


    There were messages from Emily, Wilma, and thetest one was from Bet.


    She guessed what Bet wanted to say, so she called Emily and Wilma back first.


    Emily was almost in tears. Because she didn’t receive a call from Estellest night, she kept calling and


    even went to Blue Oasis to find her. She was so worried that she’d almost called the police.


    Estelle reassured her, saying her phone had run out of power.


    Emily sighed with relief on the phone, “As long as you’re okay. Oh, andst night when I went to Blue


    Oasis for the second time, I saw police cars outside and all those guys including Noel were arrested.”


    She was confused since Estelle said she didn’t call the police.


    Estelle said calmly, “Maybe the people at Blue Oasis called the police.”


    In her n, Noel wouldn’t call the police himself. If the people at Blue Oasis did, she would have had


    Blue Hawk _delete the surveince footage by then. And even if the police found her, she had backup


    ns.


    But the sudden illness had thrown her ns off track, the monitoring was not deleted, and if Noel


    used her, the police should’ve been looking for her by now.


    However, she checked her missed calls and there was no trace of the police.


    Afterforting Emily, she called Wilma to reassure her as well. Then she called Bet.


    Bet was worried, “Estelle, I just got a call from the Lamont family. They said they want to end the


    marriage early. What’s going on?”


    Estelle pondered for a moment and said softly, “Leave it to me. I’ll handle it.”


    “Oh, if the Lamont family insists on divorce, just agree to it. You’ve suffered enough these years!”


    Bet said


    in a low voice.


    Estelle’s tone didn’t change, “I’ll sort it out.”

    After hanging up, she stretchedzily, bearing the soreness in her legs, and walked towards the


    balcony.


    Her room had a huge balcony, and from there, she could see almost the entire University of J City; the


    Emerald River winding through high-rises like a silver ribbon; and even the iconic Lamont Group


    building in J City.


    Familiar with the property, Estelle recognized the Royal Mansion, conveniently located a mere 10-


    minute walk from the University of J City.


    She nced at the time, noting it was 8:20 a.m., with her ss scheduled to start at 9 a.m.


    It seemed she had just enough time for breakfast. Perfect timing!


    There were new toiletries in the bathroom. After freshening up, she came out and realized the house


    was enormous. The living room was connected to the outdoor balcony hallway, and across was the


    master bedroom-probably where Jonathan asionally stayed.


    The kitchen was spacious and fully equipped, but it looked untouched.


    Estelle walked around and, when she returned to the living room, heard the doorbell ring.
