Chapter 862
Jonathan squinted and questioned, “What money?”
Geoffrey tossed the bill in front of him and said, “Check out how much you’ve shelled out to Estelle in
just a year! Is this what a tutor should deserve?” Jonathan didn’t need to look at the bill. He knew how
much he’d given to Estelle.
He answered, “Paying a good tutor this much isn’t outrageous. And as for whether Estelle is just a
tutor, I think Henson’s transformation speaks for itself!”
“Don’t give me that!” Geoffrey cut him off. “Today, Estelle’s brother came to the house claiming you two
are getting hitched. As a father, I was kept in the dark about my son’s marriage?”
“Brother?” Jonathan scrunched his eyebrows.
“Yes, Estelle’s brother. He even said that after you two are married, the Lamont family will give him a
company and a mansion. Is this what you and Estelle discussed?”
Jonathan was more puzzled. Since when did Estelle have a brother?
He frowned, “Estelle doesn’t have a younger brother. I’m afraid this person was a fake. He wanted to
cheat money.”
“He claimed that they were separated when they were five, and Estelle was adopted from an
orphanage and got her current name. He also knew about you and Estelle. Are you sure he’s a fake?”
Geoffrey questioned.
Jonathan froze for a moment.
Seeing his reaction, Geoffrey frowned and said, “You didn’t know either?”novelbin
He scoffed, “This is amusing! Looks like this was a scheme cooked up by Estelle and her ‘brother‘! So
do you think Estelle is with you because she likes you, or your money?”
Jonathan’s face was grim, “Estelle isn’t that kind of girl!”
“That’s because you’ve been blinded by her!” Geoffrey snapped. “No matter how much you like Estelle,
you need to break up with her now! She definitely can’t continue as Henson’s tutor. I’ll find someone
else for Henson.”
Jonathan looked up and said, “No, I won’t break up with Estelle!”
Geoffrey stared at Jonathan angrily, “Jonathan, just because you’re the heir to the Lamont family
doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. I’m not dead yet. The Lamont family isn’t yours alone to
control! I don’t need you to marry for the sake of the family, but you can’t marry a gold digger!”
Jonathan was firm, “Estelle is not a gold digger. This is a misunderstanding! I’ll prove it!”
Jonathan didn’t want to argue, so he turned and walked out after speaking.
“Stay right there!” Geoffrey said.
Jonathan replied calmly, “You can’t stop me from liking Estelle. Right now, I can’t convince you to
believe in Estelle. Pushing this will only lead to a bigger fight! I told you, I can prove that Estelle isn’t the
girl you think she is!“:
Seeing his calmness, Geoffrey’s anger subsided slightly. He said solemnly,” Jonathan, you’ve done
very well since childhood and I rarely restrict your freedom. But on the matter of marriage, I hope you
won’t act rashly. After all, it concerns the foundation of the Lamont family!”
“I understand. I’ll get to the bottom of this,” Jonathan replied steadily.
Geoffrey thought for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, look into it. I’ll give you time. But no matter what,
Estelle can’t continue as Henson’s tutor.”
“Okay,” Jonathan nodded and said, “I’ll go first.”
Jonathan drove away quickly, sitting in the car with an indescribably heavy heart. That Victor could very
well be Estelle’s real brother. But he was certain Estelle wouldn’t conspire with Victor for his money.
Victor and Estelle were separated since they were five. How much affection can there be between their
siblings??
He hadn’t even heard Estelle mention this brother!
But if Estelle didn’t know, how did Victor know about their relationship?
Of course, their relationship was semi–public. It was possible that Victor had probed around Estelle’s
workplace.
So, it was possible Estelle was kept in the dark too.
Knowing that Estelle’s work on the set was almost over and she wasn’t working today, Jonathan
decided to go find her right away.
