Jonathan quickly found out that the Sampson family, the Langston family, and even Jason were secretly backing the Scott Group.
Jonathan didn't give a damn, he was even pissed off, and kept tightening the screws on the Scott Group.
The Lamont family was the big cheese in J City, so even with people backing them, the Scott Group was still hit by all sorts of crises.
Mr. Scott was running around like a headless chicken, and Manley was hell-bent on not giving up on Estelle.
They were at the point of cutting ties as father and son!
That night
It was late when Jonathan got home. After his shower, he heard his phone buzzing on the sofa.
He picked it up and glanced at it, his eyes shadowed with gloom as he walked to the balcony and answered, "Hello?"
"It’s me, Estelle." Estelle said.
Jonathan's tone was icy, "Well, I'm flattered, you still remember me!"
Estelle's voice was calm, "Jonathan, our past has nothing to do with Manley. Please stop targeting the Scott family."
In an instant, Jonathan was seething, his gaze icy cold, "Did Manley ask you to beg me, or you just feel sorry for him? Estelle, I really admire you, you can make so many men sacrifice for you. How many men were there when you were with me?”
Estelle took a moment, seemingly trying hard to control her emotions, before she finally spoke calmly, "What do you want, to leave the Scott family alone?"
"What do I want?" Jonathan's tone was as cold as ice, "Leave Manley and better yet, don’t appear before me. As long as I neither see you nor hear about you, I won't be pissed!”
The line went silent, only her faint breathing could be heard. Jonathan held his phone tightly, filled with rage.
She actually begged for Manley. He would make her regret making this call!
"Fine!” Estelle suddenly spoke, her voice hoarse, "I will leave, I won’t appear in front ot you. I hope you keep your word.”
"Ella, I love you!”
"Estelle, let’s break up!”
"I’m sick of this!”
"Don’t appear in front of me. As long as I neither see you nor hear about you, I won't be pissed!”
……
All the tenderness and affection had disappeared, turning into indifference, even spite at the end. His words echoed in her ears, like a sharp knife, hurting her over and over, causing unbearable pain.
Estelle's eyes stung, she couldn't help but close them tightly, her temples already wet with tears.
She messed up! From the moment she decided to come to J City, she made a mistake.
