Chapter 2069
Carson could sense that Marina was sizing him up, ready for a bit of friendly competition. He didn't argue, just nodded inagreement. "You're absolutely right!"
Marina ignored his nonchalant attitude and continued, "With such a scandalous revelation, | can't wait to see the downfall of theMacClain family!"
Carson's brows furrowed slightly. "I do feel for Jonah, though. Those are Estelle's biological parents, after all. That blood bondisn't something to overlook."
Marina scoffed coldly. "They sure didn't think about blood bonds when they framed Estelle. People like them don't deserve anymercy!"
He looked at her, his handsome face breaking into a small smile. "I've got to admit, | quite like your decisive nature."Through this ordeal, Marina had come to see Carson in a new light; he wasn't just another trust fund kid with no substance.She said candidly, "Once our engagement is off, we can still be friends!"
Carson chuckled softly. "Why are you always on about breaking off the engagement?"novelbin
Marina was forthright. "Being friends with someone like you is one thing, but lovers or spouses? That's a whole differentballgame."
Carson was left speechless.
What did she think of him, really?
Aline of cars cruised down the streets of J City towards the Lamont estate.
Gabriel sat in the back of his car, the neon city lights blurring past the window, and he suddenly thought of Sylvia.Had he been too stingy in the past? Aside from a code name, he hadn't even given her a real name.
She was in J City too.
Had she come back?
When everyone arrived back at the Lamont estate, Henson and Norah burst out to greet Estelle.
��Estelle, you're finally back!"
"We watched the livestream! You slapped those liars so hard they couldn't utter a word!"
��Our grandparents wouldn't let us come. They made us wait at home. It was so lame. It must have been thrilling to be there!"
Henson and Norah bombarded Estelle with their excitement until Catherine intervened. "Estelle's been traveling all day. Let herrest a bit. There's plenty of time for chats later."
Everyone laughed, and Geoffrey Lamont gestured for Old Mr. Jarvis and Old Mr. Quintin to enter first.The mood was light and jovial, a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere at the airport. It was a scene of harmony.
Norah scanned the crowd and finally spotted Xavier. He seemed to have lost weight, his already rugged features now sharper.Feeling her gaze, he looked up, their eyes met, but his darkened quickly, and he looked away.
Awave of sadness washed over Norah, and she turned to follow the others into the mansion.
Inside the grand hall, Old Mr. Jarvis and Old Mr. Quintin took their places of honor while the servants served tea and the rest ofthe family settled down.
