Chapter 2069
Carson could sense that Marina was sizing him up, ready for a bit of friendlypetition. He didn''t argue, just nodded in
agreement. "You''re absolutely right!"
Marina ignored his nonchnt attitude and continued, "With such a scandalous revtion, | can''t wait to see the downfall of the
Macin family!"
Carson''s brows furrowed slightly. "I do feel for Jonah, though. Those are Estelle''s biological parents, after all. That blood bond
isn''t something to overlook."
Marina scoffed coldly. "They sure didn''t think about blood bonds when they framed Estelle. People like them don''t deserve any
mercy!"
He looked at her, his handsome face breaking into a small smile. "I''ve got to admit, | quite like your decisive nature."
Through this ordeal, Marina hade to see Carson in a new light; he wasn''t just another trust fund kid with no substance.
She said candidly, "Once our engagement is off, we can still be friends!"N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Carson chuckled softly. "Why are you always on about breaking off the engagement?"
Marina was forthright. "Being friends with someone like you is one thing, but lovers or spouses? That''s a whole different
ballgame."
Carson was left speechless.
What did she think of him, really?
Aline of cars cruised down the streets of J City towards the Lamont estate.
Gabriel sat in the back of his car, the neon city lights blurring past the window, and he suddenly thought of Sylvia.
Had he been too stingy in the past? Aside from a code name, he hadn''t even given her a real name.
She was in J City too.
Had shee back?
When everyone arrived back at the Lamont estate, Henson and Norah burst out to greet Estelle.
“Estelle, you''re finally back!"
"We watched the livestream! You pped those liars so hard they couldn''t utter a word!"
“Our grandparents wouldn''t let use. They made us wait at home. It was some. It must have been thrilling to be there!"
Henson and Norah bombarded Estelle with their excitement until Catherine intervened. "Estelle''s been traveling all day. Let her
rest a bit. There''s plenty of time for chatster."
Everyoneughed, and Geoffrey Lamont gestured for Old Mr. Jarvis and Old Mr. Quintin to enter first.
The mood was light and jovial, a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere at the airport. It was a scene of harmony.
Norah scanned the crowd and finally spotted Xavier. He seemed to have lost weight, his already rugged features now sharper.
Feeling her gaze, he looked up, their eyes met, but his darkened quickly, and he looked away.
Awave of sadness washed over Norah, and she turned to follow the others into the mansion.
Inside the grand hall, Old Mr. Jarvis and Old Mr. Quintin took their ces of honor while the servants served tea and the rest of
the family settled down.
Geoffrey spoke up, "This incident has
