Chater 988


    He despised Estelle and couldn’t stand rice, but rice was Manuel’s girl, so he didn’t dare to upset


    her. So, he just told rice, “You bring the diamond to Estelle yourself. We’ll


    talk about the restter.”


    After Mr. Kress left, rice grabbed Alice’s hair. Before she could finish her words, Alice screamed


    loudly, attracting the attention of the staff nearby.


    rice shoved Alice hard, “Bitch!”


    Alice fell to the ground, her head lowered, silent. rice red at her, picked up the box with the


    diamond, and went to see Estelle.


    Estelle was working on herputer. rice stood outside for a while before she walked in with a cold


    face, mming the box with the diamond on the table, “It’s all here!”


    After an hour in the sun, rice’s hair was soaked with sweat, looking utterly scruffy.


    Estelle nced at her without saying a word. rice turned around to leave, but after a few steps, she


    turned back and said angrily, “I did not order Alice to do this, whether you


    believe it or not!”


    Estelle’s hand was on the mouse, looking at the half box of broken diamonds, lost in


    thought.


    Craig came in, looking at rice’s retreating figure, and asked, “What was she here for?”


    “To bring the diamonds.” Estelle replied lightly.


    “What did she say?” Craig frowned, “I thought Mr. Kress was giving you a hard time, not expecting


    rice. What did you do to piss her off?”


    Estelle thought of the scene that night, somewhat helplessly said, “It’s a


    misunderstanding.”


    “Gwen is such a bitch. She was giving you a hard time on purpose, and once Mr. Lamont appeared,


    her attitude towards you changed immediately. She really is an actress!” Craig sneered, his eyes full of


    disbelief, “How did we not notice this side of her before!”


    Estelle picked up a broken diamond, the cold light of the diamond reflected in her clear eyes, “Probably


    because she hid it too well.”


    “Estelle, you must be feeling awful, aren’t you?” Craig asked, because seeing Jonathan and Gwen


    together really upset him.


    Estelle frowned, “Do you guys just like this type of girl?”


    Sweet and gentle smile, acting cute and innocent, always full of admiration when looking


    at men.


    Craig was stunned, it took him a while to reply, “Estelle, you are much better than Gwen,


    trust me!”


    Estelle smiled and replied, “Thanks!”


    “I mean it!” Craig emphasized.


    “I know!” Estelle smiled, “Now, get back to work!”


    “Don’t let it affect your mood!”


    Craig gave Estelle a thumbs-up before turning around and leaving.


    Estelle continued with her work, just before the end of the workday, Ana came in and ced a cup of


    water for her, lowering her head and saying, “Estelle, I’m truly sorry, I didn’t realize that my negligence


    would lead to such serious consequences.”


    Estelle didn’t look at her, her voice cold, “You go tell Mr. Kress to assign you another job. Don’t follow


    me anymore.”


    Ana was taken aback, “Estelle, you don’t trust me?”


    “No, it’s just that we’re not suitable for working together anymore. Go find Mr. Kress!”


    Seeing Estelle’s firm tone, Ana didn’t dare to exin anymore, and had to leave as soon as possible.


    As the sky grew darker, the workers outside were tidying up the yard. Estelle turned off herputer


    and got ready to leave.


    As she was heading to the parking lot to get her car, Jonathan and Gwen walked towards her. Gwen


    immediately greeted her with a sweet smile, “Estelle!”


    Estelle didn’t speak, her expression was cold as she walked steadily towards her car.


    Following Gwen was a young assistant who huffed, “What right does she have to ignore you. What


    happened to her has nothing to do with us!”


    Gwen gave a meaningful smile, looking at Jonathan, “She’s not ignoring me, she’s ignoring Mr.
