Chapter 1676


    Jonathan looked up and took the smartphone handed to him. After he scanned the screen for a couple


    of seconds, his face turned stone cold.


    After reading the entire thread and somements, anyone would think he was about tomit a


    murder based on the frosty look on his face.


    “I understand,” Jonathan said gruffly. “Leave now, and inform me immediately if you find any more


    news online.”


    “Sure, I believe Estelle isn’t the person they’re making her out to be. I’ll help defend her online,” Kally


    sincerely said before turning to leave.


    As she stepped out of the office, Sabina was approaching. It seemed she had also seen the negative


    news about Estelle online and sneered, “Finally seeing the true colors of the woman you’ve been


    brown-nosing, huh? Now do you understand why I can’t stand her?”

    Kally looked stern. “Estelle is definitely not like what they’re saying in those posts! If you despise


    Estelle so much and can’t see her seed, why don’t you tell Mr. Lamont? Don’t you dare?”


    Sabina squinted slightly. “What benefits did Estelle give you? You’re even daring to confront me for


    her!”


    “Estelle didn’t give me anything. I have my own eyes and ears, and a sense of right and wrong!” Kally


    replied, her lips pursed tightly. She then walked briskly towards her desk.


    Sabina gave a dismissive, coldugh, and left with a shrug.


    Inside the office, Jonathan made a call to Bet after some thought.


    Upon answering, Bet’s voice sounded genuinely frightened. “Mr. Lamont, why the sudden call? Is


    there something you need from me?”


    “Have you seen the expose about Estelle online?” Jonathan asked in a low, cold voice.


    Bet paused for a moment before replying, “No, I’ve been in meetings all day and haven’t had time


    to check my phone. What happened? Is there a problem with Estelle?”


    “Some people are saying that you guys are Estelle’s godparents and that she’s been ungrateful after


    you supported her. It’s all nonsense. You need to publicly rify and tell everyone the truth,” Jonathan


    ordered in an icy tone.


    “I see,” Bet seemed to hesitate. “Estelle likes to keep a low profile. And after her identity. as KING


    was exposed, we were even more cautious about revealing our rtionship with her. If I suddenly


    make it public now, I’m afraid Estelle won’t appreciate it.”


    Jonathan’s cold eyes narrowed. “Bet, I haven’t yet held you ountable for the harm you and


    Simone have caused Estelle. This is your chance to make it right. Don’t make me intervene.”

    Bet quickly replied, “Mr. Lamont, please don’t be angry. You may not understand Estelle’s stubborn


    nature. I’m afraid she won’t be willing, and if she was, I would have revealed her


    identity long ago.”


    He said vaguely, “Mr. Lamont, maybe I shouldn’t have said something, but I really did it for your sake.


    Estelle and you are not suitable together, so three years ago, you said that the marriage was dissolved,


    and I didn’t have any objections.”


    “What do you mean?” Jonathan asked in a deep voice.


    “I mean, Estelle’s personality is too cold and hard. Maybe it’s because she has suffered too much from


    growing up, so she is narrow-minded and indifferent. She is full of hostility to everyone. She is not


    suitable for you at all. You don’t have to pay attention to her affairs, but no matter what, she is my


    daughter. Her mother and I will protect her.”


    Jonathan’s voice was icy. “So is this how you understand Estelle?”


    “Yes, I know her too well!” Bet replied.


    Jonathan’s anger surged uncontrobly. “Bet, you’re a disgrace as a father. If you understood


    Estelle even a little, you wouldn’t say such things!”


    He managed to hold back his anger, refraining from cursing at Estelle’s biological father. He instead


    coldly ordered, “Immediately release a statement rifying the nderous ims about Estelle in those


    posts. If not, don’t me me for being ruthless. I’ve given you enough respect as Estelle’s father!”


    Bet jumped in fright. Seeing Jonathan so concerned about Estelle and even losing his temper, he


    dared not say anything else. “I’ll call Estelle. If she agrees, I’ll publicly reveal her identity.”


    “Do it now. I’m waiting for your results,” Jonathan said before abruptly hanging up the call, his patience


    wearing thin.
