Jonathan clasped Estelle's hand, his voice laced with frosty sarcasm, "She's my own wife! Who else should stand up for her if not me? You expect outsiders to do it?"
The room fell silent, and then erupted into a cacophony of voices.
The wife of the Lamont Group's CEO?
Not a mistress or a girlfriend, but his wife, Jonathan had said!
A reporter gasped, "Mr. Lamont, what exactly do you mean? Can you clarify?"
Jonathan lifted their interlocked hands, his eyes cold and determined, "Let me make this official for everyone here. KING, Estelle here, is my wife. We married six years ago. So, all those whispering that KING is cozying up to the Lamont Group can zip it! And as for the slanderers who claim my wife threw a game for five million dollars just to stir up trouble, do you really think so low of us? The Lamont Group and the CEO's wife?"
The airport lounge went dead quiet for a solid five seconds before it burst into incredulous chatter.
KING was the Lamont Group CEO's wife!
And the world was oblivious!
Ever the opportunists, journalists fired off more questions,
"How do you explain her deliberate loss to COCO?"
"Did KING marry into the Lamont family and then abandon the Macclain family that raised her?"
"Mr. Lamont, is it true that KING used your connections to get back at the Macclain family's own daughter, Carmella?"
"I'll answer your questions!" bellowed Old Mr. Jarvis, walking over with his entourage. His voice wasn't loud, but the whole hall fell silent.
Magdalen and Emily hurried over to Estelle, and the trio embraced. Magdalen's eyes glistened with joy, "Ella, I've missed you so much!"
"I'm back," Estelle said softly, patting her shoulder, then turned to Emily, "Did you wrap up your trip abroad?"
Emily grinned, "I was supposed to be back the day before yesterday, but Charlie said to wait for your return, so we stayed an extra two days!"
They had even skipped visiting the James family to see Kya, choosing instead to pick Estelle up first.
