Ever since Estelle returned to the Macclain family, she finally found some relief from the pressure in her heart today. Carmella took a deep breath, her smile becoming even sweeter and more relaxed with all the praise she received.
Finding a somewhat quieter spot, Sallie said furiously, "It's just too much, she openly called Estelle an adopted daughter! With that, there's no way Estelle can return to the Macclain family."
Leonie glanced at Estelle sympathetically and sighed, "People are always biased, but Simone's bias is just too blatant."
Sallie said angrily, "I can't believe our grandparents didn't step in!"
Leonie scoffed, "In front of so many people, how could your grandparents step in after everything's been said?"
She knew well that the old folks of the Macclain family were weighing their options. Ever since they found out that the Lamont family was backing Estelle, their attitude toward her changed. But it's still up in the air whether Estelle can secure the Lamont family's support! Terrence reportedly wanted to bid for a project from the Lamont Group, but the Lamont Group didn't offer any special treatment to the Macclain family. So, Terrence doubted whether this connection could provide strong support.
Carmella, on the other hand, brought glory to the Macclain family. After weighing everything, they might think Carmella was more valuable to the family. Poor Estelle though.
Despite her harsh words, Leonie was kind-hearted. Seeing Simone being so unreasonable, she couldn't help but feel sympathetic. Turning to Estelle, she said, "If Simone doesn't want you, I do. I'll treat you as my daughter!"
Estelle smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
She knew Simone's choice two years ago, so she wasn't surprised by what happened today. In fact, she was surprised when Simone initially claimed her as her daughter. She wasn't sad because she never held any hopes. Long time ago, she had given up the idea of returning to the Macclain family.
Sallie smiled meaningfully at Leonie, "Mom, if you really treat Estelle as your daughter, you will be extremely grateful for this decision."
Without thinking too much, Leonie thought Sallie just liked Estelle and wanted her to really treat Estelle as her daughter. She casually said with a smile, "I wouldn't mind, but I don't know if Estelle would!"
Estelle smiled and said, "Let's be serious, Sallie, didn't you want me to look at your design drafts? Where are they?"
