Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1855

Graduating with flying colors, she had landed a coveted position at the Lamont Group, working tirelessly by Jonathan's side for years. And yet, Estelle, the black sheep of the Macclains, had swooped in and stolen the limelight!

Estelle, that temptress!

Sabina's hands clenched into fists, her face contorted with envy as she watched the passionate kiss between the two, hidden behind a decorative shrub. It wasn't until Estelle gently pushed Jonathan away and they left hand in hand that Sabina emerged, inhaling the cool night air before heading back to the banquet hall.

Upon her return, Elizabeth waved her over. "Sabina, come sit by grandma!"

Elizabeth had saved her a seat, and as Sabina sat down, Elizabeth took her hands and said, "You look a bit pale, dear. Is it too chilly outside?"

Sabina forced a smile. "It's alright."

"Our Sabina has always been sensitive to the cold. A little breeze and she turns as white as a ghost," Natalia said, pouring Sabina some hot tea. "Drink up, warm your bones."

Sabina sipped the tea, then looked up abruptly. "Estelle, even though she's estranged from the Macclains, she's still their daughter. You can't just ignore her behavior."

Simone was taken aback, unsure why Sabina was bringing up Estelle out of the blue. She asked hesitantly, "What about her?"

Sabina's tone was icy. "I've seen her with different men on several occasions."

The room fell silent, the atmosphere growing awkward.

Natalia's voice held a mocking edge. "Really? That's quite the story."

Sabina, her gaze locked on Simone, spoke with an air of superiority, almost accusatory. "Estelle is your responsibility. You can't just focus on Carmella. Carmella’s prospects are already dim; do you want Estelle to end up the same way?"

Simone's face reddened with discomfort. "I would intervene if I could, but she doesn't listen to me!"

"If you can't even manage your own daughter, how can you support my Jonathan in the business world?" Sabina challenged without a hint of politeness.

Leonie laughed coldly. "I could ask you the same. What's Estelle to you, and what right do you have to meddle in her life?"

Leonie, known for her sharp tongue, left Sabina struggling for a comeback, her once haughty features now twisted with resentment.

Natalia frowned. "What are you doing, Leonie? Sabina is still the younger one here. Why are you being so harsh?"

Leonie shot back sarcastically, "You're quick to defend your daughter. Estelle's even younger than her. Why not speak up for Estelle?"

Natalia retorted, "Sabina's just looking out for Estelle's best interests!"

"Don't dress it up so nobly. Would you say you’re looking out for Sabina's best interests if someone else were speaking ill of her?"

Leonie stood her ground against Natalia and her daughter, leaving them speechless with her biting retorts.
