    Cliff gave a rundown of the situation, emphasizing, "This designer named KING, thinking she''s some

    big shot, doesn''t respect Antonia. Antonia, with her fiery temper, had someone post online about it.


    Somehow, KING got Jonathan involved and asked him to step in. Jonathan, in a heated moment, took


    my daughter away, insisting she must publicly apologize. Geoffrey, our families have been intertwined


    for generations. We''ve had many business coborations over the years, and we were about tounch


    a new project that we''ve both been preparing for. Now, because Jonathan''s upset about KING, even


    the coboration has been terminated. This is a lose-lose situation for both of our families!“ Cliff figured


    that the Lamont family wouldn''t care about a mere designer. He wanted to use this to drive a wedge


    between Jonathan and KING, making Geoffrey believe that Jonathan was allowing his affections to


    cloud his judgment, acting impulsively, and neglecting the family business for a woman. Geoffrey, after


    listening to everything Cliff had said, chuckled lightly and replied in a calm tone, “Jonathan''s actions are


    not out of impulse."


    Cliff frowned, "Geoffrey, what do you mean?"


    Geoffrey looked at Cliff, his gaze stern, "You can mess with anyone in J City, even if you mess with


    Jonathan himself, I can try to mediate. But if you mess with Estelle, you''d better do as Jonathan says.


    Nothing else will do!"


    Cliff blinked, "May I ask, who is this Estelle to Jonathan?"


    Geoffrey chuckled, “His wife!"


    Cliff was shocked.


    His face paled a bit, he forced augh, “When did Jonathan get married, and why didn''t the public


    know?"


    “They''ve got their marriage license, but haven''t held the wedding yet. When they do, you''ll get an


    invitation, Mr.


    Cliff."


    “Of course, I''ll be there."


    Geoffrey''s face hardened, “Estelle isn''t one to stir up trouble. Check what your daughter has done and


    apologize if necessary. Jonathan is protective of his wife, but Estelle isn''t unreasonable. It depends on


    your sincerity."


    "Yes!" Cliff agreed, his face strained.


    He gradually became restless, found an excuse to stand up, "I won''t disturb you any longer, I should


    get going."


    “Take care."


    "You''re so kind."


    After saying goodbye to Geoffrey, Cliff turned to leave. As soon as he stepped out of the mansion, his


    face fell.


    "Mr. Cliff A servant from the Lamont family rushed over, holding the gift he''d brought, "Mr. Lamont said,


    take these back with you."


    Cliff took the gift and got into his car with a stern face.


    Estelle was Jonathan''s wife, the Lamont family''s daughter-inw!


    This was a total surprise!


    Although Geoffrey was polite today, his attitude was firm. It was as if he was saying, “If you mess with


    Estelle, it doesn''t matter who you seek help from, you have to do as Jonathan says!"


    A shadow passed over Cliff''s eyes. If they really did as Jonathan said, that would be the end of


    Antonia’s star-studded path!


    On his way back to the suburban mansion, he was still hesitating.


    When he entered the gate, his underling was standing outside looking uneasy.


    “What''s wrong?" Cliff asked coldly.


    Before his underling could answer, a thunderous shout came from inside the house, “Cliff, get in here


    now!"


    A chill ran down Cliffs spine. He hurried into the house and asked in surprise, "Dorothy, what brings you


    here?"


    Dorothy red at Cliff, then tossed a stack of photos and documents onto the table in front of him,


    "Great job you''ve done!"


    The photos were of Cliff and another woman.
