Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1491

Her heart was thumping like a drum. If she really became his wife, she'd be the talk of the town in J City.

Jonathan lit a cigarette and glanced at Bennett again, a sneer hiding in his eyes. "Is Estelle your adopted daughter?"

A chill ran down Bennett's spine. Before he could say anything, Simone jumped in. "Yes, Estelle is a poor college student that we sponsor. After she came to J City to go to college, we took her in as our goddaughter. But her study habits aren't very good, spends most of her time playing video games."

With a cold sweat rising from his back, Bennett gently tugged at Simone, gesturing for her to speak less. Jonathan blew out a puff of smoke, his gaze blurred. "Does Mrs. Macclain dislike her that much?"

Simone's eyes flashed, "Not hate, just hope she can work harder, don't let down our goodwill."

"Goodwill? What goodwill do you have towards her? You didn't pay for her college. You don't know what job she has after graduation, whether she has a boyfriend. Mrs. Macclain, you dare to say 'goodwill'? Where is your goodwill?" Jonathan's tone was calm, but each word was laced with sarcasm, like a slap in Simone's face.

Simone realized Jonathan was defending Estelle and quickly said, "We do neglect Estelle a bit, mainly because she didn't grow up with us and we aren't very close."

The other guests began to whisper. Didn't the Macclain family say they paid for Estelle's college? Why were they backpedaling now?

"She didn't grow up with you, it's okay if you aren't close. But stop boasting about what you've done for Estelle. You know very well, your favor towards Estelle is zero!" Jonathan's face was stern, his tone still calm, but his words were so cold it sent shivers down people's spines.

Bennett was so scared he dared not breathe. "Mr. Lamont is right!"
