Female Novel
Chapter 1489
Bennett reasoned, "I guess it's Estelle."
Simone chuckled, "Does she have that much influence?"
"Let's not get onto that right now, Mr. Lamont is here, I need to go say hi, bring Carmella over in a bit,"
Bennett said seriously, then added in a special tone, "After all, today is about celebrating Carmella's
success. Mr. Lamont showing up deserves a personal thank you from Carmella."
Simone's eyes flickered as she smiled and said, "Sounds good, I got it!"
Once Bennett was off, Simone found Carmella who was chatting with her friends, called her aside and
asked with a smile, "Mr. Lamont is here, did you see him?"
Carmella laughed, "The man even my grandpa tries to butter up. How could I have missed him?"
Simone raised an eyebrow at her, "Carmella, you don't have a boyfriend, do you?"
"No, not at all!" Carmella denied instantly.
"Good!" Simone's eyes gleamed, "Actually, the Macclain family and the Lamont family have had some
connections for quite some time. Although we're not as powerful as the Lamonts, but with you being so
outstanding, if our families could be united through marriage, it's possible."
Carmella was shocked by Simone's words, "Mom, you mean, me and Jonathan?" She never dared to
dream of a man like Jonathan, he was way out of her league!
"I wouldn't have dared to think about it either before, but things have changed now. You're famous,
talented and beautiful, a true lady! Jonathan came to your celebration, he might have seen you on TV,
and he must like you a lot to show up!" Simone got more and more excited, "So, thinking it over, it's
totally possible!"
Carmella blushed shyly, "Sabina is much better than me, she has been around Jonathan for years and
she's just a secretary, would Jonathan like me?" novelbin
"Not many men like strong women like Sabina. Men prefer women who are capable yet gentle, you
have an edge over her in that aspect!" Simone continued, "Carmella, the reason I didn't want you to
have a boyfriend was to have you marry high. In the whole J City, there's no higher place than the
Lamont family. If you could marry into the Lamont family, your life would be completely different, you
understand?"
"I understand!" Carmella thought there's no woman in J City who wouldn't understand this!
Carmella was also swayed by Simone's words, "But would Jonathan like me?"
"Whether he likes you or not is not the most important thing, what matters most is whether you're
suitable! Jonathan took over the Lamont Group a long time ago, he hasn't married in all these years,
but he must have had many women, what kind of woman hasn't he seen? For a man of his status, a
woman with suitable background and intelligence means much more than looks, plus you're pretty,
what's there to be afraid of?"
Simone held Carmella's hand, "You just need to relax, your dad and I will plan everything out, we'll
make sure you get to marry into the Lamont family."
Carmella's heart pounded, unable to hide her excitement and nervousness, "Mom, if I could become a
part of the Lamont family, I promise to make your and dad's life better."
Simone smiled faintly, "As long as you're happy, that's the best."
Carmella blushed and nodded.
"Alright, let's go say hi to Jonathan." Simone took Carmella's hand and headed for the VIP table.
Once they reached the VIP table, Simone led Carmella forward, with a broad smile, she greeted, "Mr.
Lamont, hello!"
Jonathan looked up, his eyes slightly cold, his face expressionless, "Mrs. Macclain!"
Simone gently pushed Carmella forward, "Today is Carmella's celebration, thank you for coming in
person, let Carmella pour you a glass of water."
Natalia immediately saw through Simone's intention, she gave Sabina a look. Sabina glanced at
Carmella coldly, her eyes still aloof.
Carmella lowered her eyelashes slightly, her face had a gentle smile, she squatted down elegantly and
poured a glass of water for Jonathan.
