Chapter 1667


    “What if I refuse? Are you and Simone prepared to hand over all your assets to Carme?” Estelle


    questioned.


    Bet shook his head, “Originally, your mother and I had nned to split the property evenly between


    you and your sister.”


    Estelle smirked, “But Simone didn’t agree, did she?”


    A flicker of embarrassment crossed Bet’s face but he quickly responded, “That’s not what your


    mother intended. She still ns to give you your


    share.”


    Bet’s statement was ambiguous, not because he was foolish or wanted to offend Estelle, but as a


    subtle threat. He was telling Estelle that if she remained stubborn and refused to help him, she might


    not receive a single penny from the Macin family’s fortune.


    Or if she did, it would be a small fraction.


    Estelle, of course, understood his implication. Her eyes turned colder, “Firstly, I’ve never considered


    inheriting anything from you. To be frank, I’m not even interested. Whoever you decide to give it to, I


    won’t fight for it. Secondly, I don’t need to cater to anyone’s whims. In fact, hearing you talk about this


    makes me feel somewhat nauseated.


    Bet’s face hardened, “Estelle, I’m doing this for your own good!”


    “Thank you, but I think Carme needs your ‘good’ more than I do,” Estelle stood up, her gaze frosty, “If


    you want me to design a dress for Antonia, let her beg me on her knees. If I’m in a good mood, I might


    consider it.”


    Then Estelle turned to leave, her retreating figure radiating an aura of cold determination.


    Bet was taken aback for a moment before he angrily smashed his ss on the table.


    The waiter came over with the food, but Bet didn’t even nce at it. He quickly paid the bill and


    left.


    As soon as he got back to his car, Simone called him, asking if he’d spoken to Estelle.


    Bet answered gruffly, “I did, and she refused.”


    Simone scoffed, “I knew it would turn out this way. With her ungrateful attitude, did you really think she


    would consider the Macin family’s interests? She’s a heartless monster, devoid of any gratitude. If


    she showed any signs of appreciation, I wouldn’t have neglected her.”


    Simone’s words grew more heated, “She’s just a designer, and she acts as if she’s superior to


    everyone else. You thought she would consider the Macin family and us? You’ve overestimated


    her.”


    Bet sighed, “I only wanted to lessen our father’s disapproval. Plus, if the project in B City goes


    through, mypany will benefit as well. I just didn’t expect Estelle to be so heartless.”


    “I foresaw this!” Simone snorted, “I’ve never held out any hope for her. Even if Carme isn’t as


    talented in design, I believe she’s a hundred times better than Estelle”

    Bet’s face darkened, “I promised our father I’d convince Estelle. What should we do now?”


    Simone sneered, “Anyway, she’s still our daughter. We’ve always imed to have raised her. If she


    disobeys, we’ll show her who’s boss.”


    Bet hesitated, “We can’t afford to offend Estelle. Ever since her identity as KING was revealed, my


    Simone considered, “Then let Antonia deal with her. Isn’t Antonia supposed to be very tough? Why


    does she cower in front of Estelle?”


    Bet was indecisive, “Let’s discuss this further when we get home.”
