Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1032

Estelle had switched up her lunch spot. Craig, holding his own lunch, came over with a chuckle, "I just saw you munching under that tree, what brings you over here?"

Perched on a marble railing, Estelle responded with a straight face, "Someone told me I could only eat lunch in a corner. I want to show her I can eat anywhere I damn well please!"

Craig almost choked on his laughter, turning around quickly to cough a few times.

His face turning red, he wheezed out, "Was it Clarice? Does she a bit mentally unstable? Does she need to see a shrink?"

He had seen Clarice passing by earlier.

Estelle couldn't care less. Even though Clarice now openly showed hostility towards her, squawking around her like a mother hen, that was about as much damage she could do.

What was a few snide remarks to Estelle?

......

That night, at the Macclain Mansion,

Elizabeth had been feeling under the weather these past few days, so Bennett brought his wife Simone to check up on her. Coincidentally, the whole clan of Garrett Macclain was there as well, so they all sat down for a cup of tea and a chat.

Terrence, fiddling with his phone, was full of praises, "This designer named KING is really something, bringing honor to our country!"

Garrett's wife, Leonie, chimed in with a chuckle, "Of course, they are a top-notch international designer!"

She glanced sideways at Simone, "Carmella's design studio has been open for over two years now, how's it going?"

At the mention of this, Simone's face soured, as she replied quietly, "It's alright."

Garrett shot Leonie a look. They were family after all. She should dial it down a notch.

"By the way," Elizabeth, sitting on the sofa with a thin blanket over her legs, asked listlessly, "Bennett, any news from your daughter Estelle?"

The Macclain family had shown distaste to Estelle in the past, even making some remarks that left her feeling embarrassed. As a result, Estelle hadn't come home for the past couple of years and seemed to have disappeared.

Even Bennett couldn't reach her anymore.

When Estelle was brought up, Bennett's face darkened, "No news."

Leonie sneered again, "Bennett, I don't mean to be harsh, but you've really dropped the ball as a father. Even I know where Estelle is and you don't!"
