Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17

The next day, Manley calculated the time Estelle would come out of the alley after finishing her meal. He gave a subtle signal to the several bodyguards behind him and softly instructed, “Don’t hold back, guys! Show some real strength!”

The bodyguards, dressed as local youths, nodded to show they understood and walked deeper into the alley

Manley leaned against the wall and smoked for about ten minutes, thinking the timing was about right. He extinguished his cigarette and walked in casually.

There were more college students eating at this time, so his guys took Estelle to a secluded corner. They were separated by a few walls, so no sound could be heard.

He imagined Estelle disheveled, held down by several men, and at her most desperate moment, he would appear like a god.

Her eyes would be filled with twinkling stars, looking at him with gratitude and admiration.

In return for saving her life, she would offer herself and be devoted to him completely!

Manley imagined this, and a doof smile spread across his face.

As he got closer, he could hear the sounds of fighting and men groaning.

He was surprised to see an unexpected scene before him. The people being beaten on the ground were not Estelle, but his bodyguards. Their faces were bruised, and they lay on the ground, clutching their stomachs and moaning in pain.

Estelle had her hair in a ponytail, wearing a beige hoodie, her right foot stepping on a man’s chest, looking calm and collected. However, an icy aura surrounded from her, freezing the air around.

The bodyguards on the ground were battered and bruised, suffering from the beatings. Seeing Manley, they subconsciously begged, “Mr. Scott, save me!”

Manley’s face changed instantly as Estelle’s icy gaze fell on him, filled with lethal intent.

Startled, Manley turned and ran, only to feel a gust of wind behind him as his shoulder was grabbed. Next, hel was lifted off the ground, spinning 360 degrees, and crashing heavily onto the floor!

“Damn!”

Manley’s eyes bursting with golden stars.

A dazzling sight, just like he imagined.

When Lucille called, the Scott family’s private doctor was treating Manley’s wounds.

Manley’s face turned pale as he swiped his phone and angrily wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, cursing. “Screw you! If you dare to mention Estelle in front of me ever again, you won’t be able to hang around in J City anymore!”

With that, Manley threw down his phone.

The private doctor trembled, holding the cotton swab shakily.

Manley was panting heavily, as if his chest was about to explode. He would get his revenge!

He would!

On Saturday morning, Estelle went to the Lamont family’s house.

Jonathan didn’t come home last night, and Henson got caught up playing games and lost track of time. When Estelle arrived, he hadn’t even gotten up yet.

Norah also got up late and hurriedly greeted Estelle before rushing out

Estelle waited for an hour until Henson appeared in front of her after washing up, having breakfast, and changing clothes.

However, he followed their previous agreement, not being lazy or procrastinating, and obeyed Estelle’s instructions.

Because they were one hour late, by the time they finished their classes, it was already noon. A servant came over and said that the young lady. Norah, had invited Estelle to stay for lunch.

Jonathan wasn’t home, and there was only Henson. Estelle agreed and kept him company for lunch.

To their surprise, just as they sat down, Jonathan came back!

A servant asked if Jonathan had eaten lunch, and efficiently prepared his utensils when they found out he hadn’t.

Estelle didn’t expect him to come back and stood up, saying, “Since Mr. Lamont is back, why don’t you have lunch with Henson? I’ll leave now.”

Henson frowned, “You want to leave as soon as Uncle comes back. Are you afraid of him or do you dislike

him?”

Estelle took a deep breath. Well she did give him a few difficult problems during class. Did he have to retaliate

like this?
