Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 100

In the Macclain family's study, Bennett had just hung up the phone when Simone barged in, her face ice-cold as she ordered, "You're not allowed to call Estelle anymore, let's just pretend we don't have this daughter!"

Bennett frowned, "We should at least hear Estelle's explanation."

"Explanation for what?" Simone snapped, "She must be jealous that her grandpa introduced a boyfriend to Carmella, and deliberately went to make trouble! How could she even hit someone? Is this what a girl should do? What kind of crap did she learn outside these years, acting like a thug!"

Bennett said in a deep voice,, "What kind of boyfriend is Gentry? It's better this way, if Estelle didn't go mess things up, do you really want Carmella to marry into the Franco family?"

Simone sneered, "That's two different things. I don't want Carmella to marry into the Franco family, but it's also true that Estelle is jealous of Carmella and tries to pull tricks on her behind her back."

"What if it was Carmella who deliberately called Estelle over?" Bennett asked.

"Impossible!" Simone denied it without hesitation.

Bennett knew that Simone had a prejudice against Estelle and no matter what he said, Simone wouldn't believe Estelle.

Simone was still furious, "Now we've offended the Franco family, and they put all the blame on Carmella. This is all Estelle's fault! How could I give birth to such a stubborn and violent daughter? Anyway, from now on, you're not allowed to contact her or give her any money. She's not worth our investment, we should focus all our energy on Carmella."

Simone was adamant, "Our future depends on Carmella."

Bennett frowned but didn't say anything.

......

At night, when Jonathan came over, Estelle hugged him and suddenly called out, "Uncle."

Jonathan stopped, kissing her face in the dark, and chuckled softly, "In trouble again?"

Estelle shook her head, hugged his neck tighter, and moved closer to him...

At one in the morning, Jonathan carried Estelle out of the bathroom, put her on the bed, pulled the quilt over her and got ready to leave.

The bathrobe was suddenly grabbed by her.
