Chapter 1699


    Estelle was gazing downward, her peachy, delicate fingers traced the patterns on the wooden table. In


    a gentle whisper, she asked, "Are you in a meeting?"


    "No, what''s up?" Jonathan responded quietly.


    “Nothing, I just miss you,’ Estelle’s voice softened even further. “Can Ie pick you up from work?"


    Jonathan paused for a moment before letting out a chuckle. "You''re making me feel a bit spoiled."


    Estelle’s lips twitched into a smile. "Then prepare to be spoiled."


    “Alright.” Jonathan''s voice was deep and maic.


    "Then get back to work, I''ll be there soon."


    “Can''t wait."


    “Mm.


    Estelle put down her phone, not wasting any more time, she immediately got up to change her clothes,


    preparing to meet him.


    After Antonia''s public apology was issued, Cliff''s men found her in a hotel room.


    Antonia had been beaten up by Magdalen that night, then taken away by Mird. For two days, she


    had been locked in a pitch-ck roam, with no one to tend to her wounds or bring her food or water.


    The darkness had made it impossible for her to differentiate between day and night!


    Her mental defensespletely crumbled in these two days and nights. She was on the verge of going


    insane.


    When Cliffs men found her, she was lying on the bed, disheveled with a sallowplexion, her clothes

    soiled with her own waste.


    Seeing his once radiant daughter reduced to such a state, Cliff gritted his teeth in anger. Yet he dared


    not confront Jonathan nor trouble Estelle. He could only swallow his anger and rush back to B City.


    After all, back in B City, a lot of mess awaited him.


    News about his mistresses and illegitimate children had been exposed!


    The Lamont family had ceased their new project coboration.


    The James, Foster, and Earwood families of J City had all canceled their business dealings with the


    Crawley family.


    The losses suffered by the Crawley family were immense.


    At the Lamont Group Near the end of the business day, Chuck and Jonathan were discussing a new


    scheme. Chuck nced at Estelle, who was sitting on the couch drafting designs, stood up and


    chuckled, "Mr. Lamont, let''s call it a day. I''ll have them revise any problems and we can discuss it in


    tomorrow''s meeting."


    Jonathan nced at his watch and nodded lightly, "Off you go."


    “See you, Mr. Lamont."


    As Chuck left with his files, Jonathan also got up and walked towards Estelle. He leaned over, bracing


    his arms on the back of the sofa, his handsome face alight with a smile, "Ready to head home?"


    “Just a sec." Estelle finished herst stroke, packed up her drafts and pen, looked up at him and


    grinned, "I miss Courtney''s bunny. Let''s go to Yum Yum Bakery."


    “Are you missing the bunny, or Courtney''s homemade tea?" Jonathan teased, gently pinching her


    nose. His eyes were full of affection, “Let''s go!"


    Estelle picked up her things, and walked side by side with him towards the exit. As Jonathan was


    opening the door, Estelle suddenly reached up and hooked her arm through his.


    Jonathan paused and looked at Estelle.


    Estelle raised her eyebrows, "What''s up? Let''s go!"


    Jonathan''s eyes sparkled, the corners of his lips tilted upward subconsciously, and he stepped out.


    "Mr. Lamont!" Sabina came over, greeting him respectfully. When she saw Estelle’s arm linked through


    Jonathan''s, she paused, and quickly turned her gaze towards Estelle.
