Chapter 1490


    Jonathan turned to chat with someone else, seemingly oblivious of the ss of water Carme was


    holding out to him. He didn''t take it. Carme stood there, stuck in the ''offering water'' pose. She didn''t

    dare to withdraw her hand or utter a word. As people around started watching, her face turned beet red


    with embarrassment!


    Natalia couldn''t help but giggle. Although herugh was faint, it was enough to draw attention. Simone


    shot her a cold nce. Bet decided to step in, "Mr. Lamont, here’s your water."


    Jonathan looked up at Bet,pletely ignoring Carme, and asked on purpose, "Why isn''t Estelle


    here?"


    Carme''s face changed slightly. She bit her lower lip, feeling a sting of humiliation from being publicly


    ignored by Jonathan. She had no choice but to put the ss on the coffee table in front of him.


    Bet quickly exined, "Estelle was just here. She might have gone to hang out with Sallie. If you


    need her, Mr. Lamont, I can call her over right now."


    Simone immediately gave Bet a look and smiled faintly, "Estelle isn''t reallyfortable in


    situations like these. Let''s not bother her."


    Jonathan, with his legs crossed leisurely, looked at Simone, "And why is Estelle notfortable?"


    Simone didn''t quite catch Jonathan''s drift and awkwardly exined, "Estelle prefers to y mobile


    games with Sallie and the others."


    Mr. Irwin, a director from the electronics industry, who thought the Macin family and the Lamont


    family were on good terms, took this opportunity to butter up the Macin family. He painstakingly


    Macin, right? I think, gically, she can''tpare to Carme in intelligence and development."


    Jonathan turned his head, a small smile ying on his lips, "Oh? In what ways does Mr. Irwin think


    Estelle can''tpare to Carme?"


    The man continued to sing praises, "I think in all aspects. Carme is a graduate of the University of J


    City. She started her own studio right after graduation and is incredibly talented. Even the most


    experienced judges on this popr variety show can''t stopplimenting her!"


    Jonathan looked at the man, "What does Mr. Irwin''spany do?"


    The man, eager to get close to the Lamont Group, immediately answered, "Ourpany manufactures


    LCDs. Our brand is somewhat known both domestically and internationally. We hope to have the


    opportunity to coborate with Mr. Lamont."


    Jonathan''s tone was icy, "The chances of a coboration are slim. If Mr. Irwin''spany still exists


    tomorrow, it means I, Jonathan, am just a paper tiger who can''t even crush a smallpany!"


    The man''s face changed instantly. He could hardly believe what he was hearing, "Mr. Lamont, what do


    you mean by that?"


    Jonathan turned to Terrence, "Does the Macin family consider such an opportunist as a friend? If so,


    outsiders might get the wrong idea and think that the Macins hang out with idiots who can''t read the


    room."


    Terrence''s face immediately darkened. Everyone else was confused, not knowing how Mr. Irwin had


    offended Jonathan. But one thing was clear to all: his days in J City were probably numbered.


    Terrence, with a stern look on his face, turned to his people, "What are you waiting for? Get Mr. Irwin


    out of here!"


    Mr. Irwin was sweating bullets as he tried to plead, "Mr. Lamont, did I say something wrong? I beg your


    forgiveness. Please don''t be so hard on me! I was wrong. I promise I won''t talk nonsense again!"


    The Macin''s bodyguards were already pulling Mr. Irwin away. He kept begging for mercy all the way


    out, attracting the gaze of everyone in the banquet hall.


    After Mr. Irwin was "escorted" out, everyone became more cautious seeing Jonathan''s unpredictable


    mood swings. No one dared to speak lightly.


    And for Carme, it was the first time she had witnessed Jonathan''s influence in J City so vividly!
