"What if I refuse? Are you and Simone prepared to hand over all your assets to Carmella?" Estelle questioned.
Bennett shook his head, "Originally, your mother and I had planned to split the property evenly between you and your sister."
Estelle smirked, "But Simone didn't agree, did she?"
A flicker of embarrassment crossed Bennett's face but he quickly responded, "That's not what your mother intended. She still plans to give you your share."
Bennett's statement was ambiguous, not because he was foolish or wanted to offend Estelle, but as a subtle threat. He was telling Estelle that if she remained stubborn and refused to help him, she might not receive a single penny from the Macclain family's fortune.
Or if she did, it would be a small fraction.
Estelle, of course, understood his implication. Her eyes turned colder, "Firstly, I've never considered inheriting anything from you. To be frank, I'm not even interested. Whoever you decide to give it to, I won't fight for it. Secondly, I don't need to cater to anyone's whims. In fact, hearing you talk about this makes me feel somewhat nauseated."
Bennett's face hardened, "Estelle, I'm doing this for your own good!"
"Thank you, but I think Carmella needs your 'good' more than I do," Estelle stood up, her gaze frosty, "If you want me to design a dress for Antonia, let her beg me on her knees. If I'm in a good mood, I might consider it."
Then Estelle turned to leave, her retreating figure radiating an aura of cold determination.
Bennett was taken aback for a moment before he angrily smashed his glass on the table.
