Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2123

"Looks can't phase me, darling!" Jonathan pulled her into his embrace, "I know today was an accident, but should there be a next time, I really hope you don't just throw yourself into the fray."

What if it was a bomb, what if...

Estelle rested her head on his shoulder, "I wasn't thinking too much. Antonia was after me, I couldn't let her drag Evelyn into this."

"That idiot Antonia, fully aware of why the Crawley clan has hit rock bottom, still has the nerve to cling to you!" Jonathan's eyes turned icy, "She's just afraid I've forgotten about her. Good that she showed up, can't afford to let her slip away."

Estelle didn't take Antonia seriously, "Just kick her out of J City, no need to dirty your hands for her."

"I'll handle it," Jonathan reassured her with a kiss on her cheek, "Let's get some sleep."

Estelle lay down, and Jonathan followed suit, gently blowing on the back of her hand before drawing her close.

They exchanged a few more words before Estelle closed her eyes, her breathing soon even and shallow.

Jonathan stayed wrapped around her for a while longer before he got up and left the room.

Closing the bedroom door behind him, he took his cellphone out to the living room balcony.

The call connected quickly, and Millard was on the line, "Mr. Lamont."

"Speak."

"Before Cliff was locked up, he made quite the effort to save Antonia. Left her a chunk of change to get her protection and out of the country. Didn't expect Antonia wouldn't leave. She's been hiding from our eyes in J City for three days now, looking to get revenge on Ms. Macclain."

Jonathan's expression darkened, "You all couldn't keep an eye on one woman?"

Millard sounded ashamed, "That was my oversight."

His men had seen Antonia board a plane, and while he was watching the rest of the Crawley family in B City, planning to wipe them out before dealing with Antonia, she pulled a fast one. Instead of fleeing, she came to J City.

Jonathan's voice turned frosty, "Well, now that she's here, don't let her leave."

Millard asked, "Keep her locked up at the station?"
