Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1379

Carmella hung up the phone and got up to head downstairs.

As soon as she set foot on the stairs, she heard Simone's excited voice.

"Carmella, I've invited some friends to celebrate with you. Where do you want to go tonight?"

Carmella chuckled. Simone had finally realized her importance, hence this sudden change of attitude.

Hiding her dissatisfaction and disdain behind a sweet smile, Carmella approached Simone. "You decide. I'm cool with anything."

Simone hugged Carmella tightly, eyes full of affection. "Carmella, you're the best. Let's see who dares to talk smack now!"

"I told you. I won't let you down," Carmella said, batting her eyelashes.

"My good girl!" Simone was overjoyed.

Bennett pondered for a moment, then suggested, "We have guests today, and it's such a big celebration. Why don't we use this opportunity to invite Estelle back? We can all celebrate together and maybe iron out some differences."

Simone's face fell instantly. "Is that necessary? This has nothing to do with Estelle."

Carmella's eyes sparkled as she said, "Mom, don't be mad. Dad just wants Estelle to join our gathering. I think it's a good idea."

"What's so good about it?" Simone sneered. "You're always thinking of her, but does she ever consider you? She'd love nothing more than to see you fall."

Bennett said sternly, "Don't say such things in front of Carmella."

"Anyway, I disagree with inviting Estelle back. And I've invited guests today. How am I supposed to introduce Estelle to Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Xenia when we've never acknowledged her publicly before?"

Bennett quickly said, "This could be a good opportunity to publicly acknowledge Estelle."

"How is that fair to Carmella? You want everyone to know Carmella is not our biological child?" Simone mocked.
