Chapter 1497


    Simone thought she had given a clear indication that Mrs. Lamont would understand, but what would


    the Lamont family think? Would they like Carme?


    Cathrine seemed kind, but her words were subtle, distant and friendly, and it was difficult to


    understand. About half an hourter, Jonathan strolled down from upstairs. Carme quickly turned her


    head to look. He was dressed in an off-white casual suit, handsome with a calm and elegant demeanor.


    As he walked towards her, it felt like a god descending to earth. Her heart was racing and her palms


    were sweaty long before he was anywhere near her.


    "Jonathan," Cathrine hollered, "Mrs. Macin and Ms. Macin are here. Come over for a sec."


    Jonathan turned his head, spotting Simone and her daughter in the living room. His brows raised


    slightly, a hint of surprise on his face.


    "Mr. Lamont!" Simone stood up immediately.


    Carme also stood, her eyes bright and her expression even sweeter and softer, "Hello, Mr. Lamont!"


    Jonathan came and sat on the sofa, his expression as aloof as ever, "What''s up?"


    Simone said with a smile, "We really appreciate you attending Carme''s celebration party. Carme


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    wanted to personally thank you for your praise. If you have the time, Carme would like to take you


    out for a meal."


    "Praise?" Jonathan cracked a small smile, "What has Ms. Macin done that deserves my praise?"


    Carme''s smile faltered, looking at him in surprise. Simone also felt a heavy sensation in her heart,


    but forced a smile, "Mr. Lamont, you attended Carme''s celebration party in person. I assumed you


    appreciated Carme''s talent."


    "Celebration party?" Jonathan scoffed, "I was there for Estelle!"


    Simone and Carme''s faces darkened simultaneously.


    Cathrine chimed in with augh, "Jonathan, didn''t you see Ms. Carme on TV?"


    "Do I look like I have the time?" Jonathan sneered, "But I do remember that Ms. Macin''s designs


    didn''t make the cut at Snowy Studios,pared to Estelle''s. Then she was kicked out for giarism.


    Am I right?"


    Carme suddenly remembered that she and Estelle had submitted designs for Mr. Mayfield''s movie.


    In the end, the directors and producers only chose Estelle''s. And at that time, Jonathan was there!


    Cathrine faked surprise, "Really? That happened?"


    "And that''s not all!" Jonathan grinned, "Ms. Macin''s own studio has been running at a loss for three


    consecutive years, struggling to find clients. Then she joined Mr. Tucker''s team, but got fired for not


    being able to please Yulia. So, what exactly is there for me to praise?"


    Carme''s face had turned pale, extremely embarrassed! She was seething with resentment. How did


    Jonathan know about her being kicked out by Yulia? It must have been Estelle who told him! Why was


    Estelle always out to get her, ruining her career?


    Seeing Jonathan openly mocking Carme, Simone said sternly, "Mr. Lamont, there are a lot of


    misunderstandings here. The situation is not as you see it. Carme left the team because Yulia and."


    She suddenly stopped, thinking about Cathrine and the others'' protection of Estelle, so she didn''t


    mention Estelle''s name directly, "She was intentionally made things difficult for her, and she had no


    choice but to leave! She''s encountered a lot of difficulties before, but she never gave up. This time,


    through a TV show, she finally got the chance to showcase her talent. If Mr. Lamont has time to watch


    the show Beauty''s Wardrobe, you''ll surely understand Carme."


    Jonathan''s expression remained indifferent. He said slowly, "Whether she has talent or not, what does


    it have to do with me?"
