Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2002

Seeing her father also curious, Sallie's eyes darted mischievously, and she huffed, "I guessed!"

"If you can get a hold of Estelle, give her a ring, tell her to lay low for a while, don't rush back to J City. Let the storm pass," Leonie sighed, worry etching her features. "As for us, we're definitely on the Crawley family's hit list now. Just have to keep our fingers crossed and hope Dad doesn't cut us off like he did with Estelle!"

Hans chimed in, "Don't worry, you've got me and Sallie!"

Sallie added, "Mom, Dad, you have to stand firm with Estelle. Trust me, our decision today was the right one."

Leonie knew Sallie idolized Estelle but didn't take her words to heart, merely pondering, "I should give Mr. Foster a call, fill him in on the situation."

Stanley stood up, "I'll do it!"

Once the Macclain family left the Crawley estate, they immediately called Cliff to report.

Cliff sneered, "Ungrateful lot!"

"They're probably scared of Jonathan's retaliation!"

"Jonathan?" Cliff said. "I'm actually hoping he gets involved. Let's see if he can keep Estelle safe!"

Whether Estelle could even make it back from her trip was questionable, and her so-called protector, Gab, wasn't in a much better position. Cliff was eager to see how Jonathan would turn the tide!

If he dared claim Estelle as his wife, the entire Lamont family would be under scrutiny!

Cliff was curious to see if Jonathan had the guts for that!

He ordered, "Get our online troops to sway public opinion. Cement Estelle's reputation as a sellout, someone who betrays her own for foreign favor. Steer the narrative that way!"

"Understood!" the man replied.

When Carson got the call from Stanley, he nodded calmly, "Alright, got it."

Stanley apologized, "We've done all we can. Let Estelle stay out of the spotlight until this blows over. Eventually, the online buzz will die down, and people will forget."

"Mhm," Carson responded, ending the call.

Pausing, Marina ventured, "I just got a call from a client asking us to come over tomorrow for a project inspection. You didn't have anything to do with that, did you?"

The call had come so soon after she'd discussed the matter with Carson she suspected he might have pulled some strings.

"It just so happened I know the CEO. It was a simple favor. Don't mention it," Carson replied with a refined chuckle.

"Still, I owe you one. I'll take you out for a meal sometime," Marina laughed.

"Sounds good!"

"Then you go ahead and contact Mr. Lamont. Estelle's situation is the priority right now."

"Okay, hanging up now."

Carson ended the call and immediately dialed Jonathan.

After five rings, the call was answered, and Carson's spirits lifted, "Jonah!"
