Female Novel
Chapter 1998
Carson dialed up Stanley personally, and naturally, Stanley couldn’t refuse. He and his wife Leonie
promptly accepted the invitation.
By the time Carson and Marina arrived at the private dining room, the Macclains were already there
along with their daughter, Sallie Macclain.
After the introductions, Carson cut straight to the chase, “We’re here about Estelle. She’s being
dragged through the mud, and even the Macclain family has been bad-mouthing her. You must know
about this. Estelle isn’t in J City, and we hope you can stand up for her!”
Sallie immediately said, “We’ll do anything for her. Just say the word, and we’re on it!”
Recently, Sallie had been on a reality show akin to Next Top Model, gaining some fame. Because of
the debacle with KING and its connection to Snowy Studios, she was facing resistance within the
industry and had been staying home.
She had tried to support KING online, but her efforts were drowned out by the irrational fury of the
netizens.
“Is it really like the announcement Bennett released?” Marina asked.
Sallie shook her head vehemently, “Of course not. Estelle is my sister-in-law's biological daughter!”
Marina’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Then why are they doing this?”
Leonie chimed in, “It’s a long story. Estelle was switched at birth and raised elsewhere. Even after
coming back to us, she never got close to my sister-in-law!”
Marina was still in shock, unable to grasp, “Even if they’re not close, she’s still her biological daughter.
How could she treat Estelle this way?”
Sallie scoffed, “Must be some kind of spell on her brain!”
Carson and Marina exchanged a look, both finding it absurd that Estelle’s own parents were the ones
slandering her.
Leonie sneered, “Having such parents is truly bizarre. They act as if they have a vendetta against
Estelle, wishing she’d just disappear!”
Carson spoke calmly, “If that’s the case, Mrs. Macclain, could you perhaps issue a statement to clarify
the truth?”
Leonie glanced at Stanley, hesitating for a moment.
Sallie had a sudden realization, “Right, we can tell the truth to the netizens, expose my aunt’s lies!”novelbin
She turned eagerly to Leonie, “Mom, you and dad should release it now, right away!”
Leonie gave her daughter a look, signaling her to be quiet.
Sallie looked back at her mother, confused and a bit upset, “Mom, what do you mean? Don’t you want
to help Estelle? I thought you said you loved her like your own daughter, or was that just talk?”
Leonie wished she could seal her outspoken daughter’s lips.
Carson raised an eyebrow, “Is there something you’re hesitant about, Mrs. Macclain? If there are any
conditions, feel free to state them. I’ll do my best to fulfill them.”
Leonie asked, “The Lamonts usually step in for Estelle. Why the silence this time?”
“Mr. Lamont is abroad,” Carson explained.
“Oh, I see,” Leonie said as if things clicked into place.
Carson’s expression turned stern, “What are you implying, Mrs. Macclain? That you won’t help?”
“Mom!” Sallie called out, her voice tinged with urgency.
“We’ll help,” Stanley suddenly interjected.
Marina’s face lit up with hope, “Thank you, thank you so much!”
“You’re welcome,” Leonie smiled.
"Mrs. Macclain, you make an announcement, and I'll push it to be the hot topic immediately," Carson
said. Updated at Drаmanovels.com
"Good!"
With the plan set, everyone dispersed to take action.
