“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.
The waiter came over with the food, but Bennett didn’t even glance at it. He quickly paid the bill and
left.
As soon as he got back to his car, Simone called him, asking if he’d spoken to Estelle. novelbin
Bennett answered gruffly, “I did, and she refused.”
Simone scoffed, “I knew it would turn out this way. With her ungrateful attitude, did you really think she
would consider the Macclain family’s interests? She’s a heartless monster, devoid of any gratitude. If
she showed any signs of appreciation, I wouldn’t have neglected her.”
Simone’s words grew more heated, “She’s just a designer, and she acts as if she’s superior to
everyone else. You thought she would consider the Macclain family and us? You’ve overestimated
her.”
Bennett sighed, “I only wanted to lessen our father’s disapproval. Plus, if the project in B City goes
through, my company will benefit as well. I just didn’t expect Estelle to be so heartless.”
“I foresaw this!” Simone snorted, “I’ve never held out any hope for her. Even if Carmella isn’t as
talented in design, I believe she’s a hundred times better than Estelle”
Bennett’s face darkened, “I promised our father I’d convince Estelle. What should we do now?”
Simone sneered, “Anyway, she’s still our daughter. We’ve always claimed to have raised her. If she
disobeys, we’ll show her who’s boss.”
Bennett hesitated, “We can’t afford to offend Estelle. Ever since her identity as KING was revealed, my
company’s business has improved significantly because of her. If we fall out, it won’t benefit us either.”
Simone considered, “Then let Antonia deal with her. Isn’t Antonia supposed to be very tough? Why
does she cower in front of Estelle?”
Bennett was indecisive, “Let’s discuss this further when we get home.”
