Chapter 1877


    Jason said, "Come on in, it''s freezing out here!"


    Estelle was about to turn around when a servant jogged over, "Ms. Macin!"


    Jason asked coolly, "What''s up?"


    The servant replied, "There''s someone outside iming to be Ms. Macin''s father, and wanting to


    have a word with her!"


    Estelle''s expression faded slightly. The Macins were still lingering outside?


    Jason had noticed them when he arrived, his demeanor chilly, "Tell them Ms. Macin is not avable!"


    The servant promptly nodded and hurried off.


    Jason turned to Estelle, "You don''t have to see the Macins anymore."


    Estelle responded with a lukewarm tone, "I know."


    "Let''s go!" said Jason, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and leading her towards the living room.


    As Estelle stepped through the door, her phone buzzed with a message. She nced at it and sighed;


    it was from Manley. She''d almost forgotten about him!


    Manley texted, [Estelle, the beauties down under are waiting for me. I''m heading back first, don''t forget


    to miss me!]


    A gentle smile crossed Estelle''s face as she texted back, [Safe travels!]


    Manley replied, [If you ask me to stay, I will!]


    Estelle texted, [Hurry up, don''t keep the Aussie beauties waiting.]


    Manley sent back a cheeky emoji which blew a kiss.


    Estelle put away her phone and paid him no further attention.


    The servant went to ry the message to Bet. Upon hearing that Estelle t-out refused to see


    him, Bet turned an angry shade of blue.


    Simone muttered under her breath, "I knew it. She won''t help us. She''s climbed up the socialdder


    and looks down on the Macin family now."

    Terrence thought for a moment, then handed a genuine artwork to the servant, "Please give this to Old


    Mr. Jarvis personally. Tell him we came with sincere intentions to visit and ask if he could spare a


    moment to meet with us amidst his busy schedule."


    The servant hesitated.


    Terrence smiled, "You see, I''ve been waiting here for almost a day. Please, do me a favor."


    Assuming Terrence to be a senior with grey hair, who held genuine request for Old Mr. Jarvis, and


    considering his long-time wait, the servant felt his heart softened, and he agreed,


    "Alright, wait here. I''ll convey your message to Old Mr. Jarvis, but I can''t promise you a meeting."


    "Passing the message alone is much appreciated. Thank you!" Terrence said, nodding gratefully.


    With that, the servant took the painting inside.


    Once in the study, he showed the artwork to Old Mr. Jarvis and exined the Macins'' intentions.


    Old Mr. Quintin said coldly, "Give them the painting back and tell them to leave immediately!"


    Old Mr. Jarvis paused and stopped the servant, "I haven''t met with the Macins in many years. Since


    they wish to see me, let theme in."


    Old Mr. Quintin''s face darkened, "Have you lost your mind?"


    Old Mr. Jarvis, undisturbed, said calmly, "I''m curious about their reasons for meeting me today."


    Old Mr. Quintin scoffed, "Surely they''re not inviting you to a wine and dine!"


    Geoffrey, watching the two old men bicker, chuckled, "They were bound to meet sooner orter. If Old


    Mr. Jarvis wants to see them, let him. After all, they''re Estelle''s family."


    Old Mr. Quintin sneered, "What family? A bunch of blind fools. No wonder the Macin family has


    fallen so far,and has even lost their schrly reputation!"


    Old Mr. Jarvis frowned, "What''s the rush? I haven''t promised them anything. Can''t I back Estelle up?"


    Old Mr. Quintin advised, "You''d better keep your distance from the Macins and avoid trouble!"


    But Old Mr. Jarvis had his own ns; he told the servant, "Go on, let them in. I''ll be waiting them in the


    front study."


    "Yes, sir!" said the servant, heading out to fetch the visitors.
