Chapter 1670


    The meeting officially kicked off. Jonathan, in a nonchnt manner, was slouched against his chair, a


    lollipop lodged in his mouth. He listened attentively as Chuck and others discussed project proposals,


    his gaze asionally drifting to Estelle, where it would linger for a few seconds.


    Estelle, on the other hand, pulled out her draft. With a pencil in one hand, she traced the outlines slowly


    and deliberately.


    As time went by, the meeting progressed smoothly.


    While the nning department presented their report, Jonathan opened a bottle of water and ced it


    in front of Estelle. She picked up the water without even raising her head, took a sip, and continued


    with her work.


    The manager of the nning department paused, a chill running down his spine as Jonathan’s gaze


    met his. He quickly regained his focus and carried on with his presentation.


    Thepany’s executives, realizing Jonathan’s apparent disapproval of anyone sneaking nces at


    Estelle, decided to avoid doing so. The meeting went on more intensely than usual.


    Jonathan’s concentration during the meeting was absolute. However, the juxtaposition of his lollipop


    and his suit and tie attire was amusing. Chuck and his colleagues unanimously agreed that their


    usually stern and sharp boss had transformed into a charming and yful CEO for the day!


    Halfway through the meeting, when Estelle took a break to drink some water, she overheard Chuck


    saying, “After finalizing the coboration project with the Crawley family, they’ve been very satisfied,


    ringing us multiple times to send a representative over as soon as possible.”


    Estelle’s eyes narrowed slightly, a sense of unease settling in her heart. She didn’t listen any further.


    Instead, she lowered her head and carried on with her


    work.


    The meetingsted almost two hours. Estelle was used to sitting for hours while working on her


    designs, so she didn’t feel the time drag. However, she had consumed a lot of water and had to excuse


    herself to the restroom.


    While washing her hands, she heard the click-ck of high heels approaching. Soon, Sabina appeared


    in the doorway, a look of surprise in her eyes. Ignoring Sabina, Estelle dried her hands and turned to


    leave. But Sabina stepped in her way. “I just asked Kally why she didn’t apany Mr. Lamont to the


    meeting. She said someone else went instead. Was that you?”


    Estelle looked at her, her expression cold. “Yes, it was me. Is there a problem?”


    Sabina let out a mockingugh, “What is it, trying to worm your way into the Lamont Group to get close


    to Mr. Lamont? Isn’t being a celebrity designer good enough? Why the obsession with Mr. Lamont?”


    “Isn’t being the CEO’s secretary good enough for you?” Estelle countered. “Why are you interfering in


    my business?”


    A flicker of annoyance crossed Sabina’s arrogant face. “Alright, let’s not talk about Mr. Lamont. Did you


    have a conflict with Antonia? Do you know how much effort my grandfather has put into the B City


    project? Your actions may ruin everything he’s worked for! Can’t you consider others before you act?”


    “The Macin family’s business is none of my concern” Estelle’s expression was indifferent.


    “Estelle, you really are heartless. Is it because you’ve never experienced warmth and affection? You’re


    always so selfish and cold! My grandfather has called you numerous times. He deserves some respect.


    He is, after all, your elder. How long are you going to keep this up? Don’t forget that you’re still a


    Macin!”


    “Do you really think your grandfather would keep calling me patiently just because I’m a Macin?”


    Estelle asked, looking at her calmly.


    Sabina was taken aback. “You may not care about the Macin family, but you certainly care about Mr.


    Lamont! The Lamont Group has been


    coborating with the Crawley family. Don’t let Mr. Lamont ruin this partnership because he’s defending


    you. The Lamont Group has been preparing for this coboration for a whole half a year!”


    “The rtionship between Jonathan and I is none of your business!” Estelle took a step forward.

    “Leave the Lamont Group immediately, or I’ll make things difficult for you today! Sabina threatened, her


    face cold and defiant.


    A sinister glint flickered in Estelle’s eyes as she kicked towards Sabina’s stomach.
