Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1197

Chapter 1197

Carmella had been bumming around at home for two days before Yulia’s assistant finally nagged her back to the set.

She showed up in a different outfit, all masked and hatted up, ready to meet Yulia.

Just past eight, and Yulia was already there.

Ever since Estelle had given her a heads up, Yulia hadn’t been late again, and Mr. Tucker was over the moon. He even gave Estelle a special thanks.

At this point, Yulia saw Carmella’s get-up and snorted, “You think you’re a star or something? Even if there are paparazzi here, they ain’t going to snap a pic of you.”

Carmella was burning inside from Yulia’s mockery but didn’t bite back; she just took off her mask and got to work.

While Yulia was getting her makeup done, Carmella asked the assistant, “Has anyone been looking for me lately?”

The assistant shook her head and said, “Nope.”

Carmella’s eyes flashed as she asked, “Is there a guy named Victor on the set?”

She had no clue how Estelle had found Victor or whether he was still on set.

The assistant replied, chuckling, “No idea; I’ve never heard of him. With so many people on set, how am I supposed to remember everyone’s name?”

Carmella nodded, knowing she needed to shake Victor off ASAP and keep him under the radar of Simone and Bennett.

But things didn’t go as planned. As she was heading to the set, Victor suddenly bolted over, calling out loud, “Carmella!”

Victor was thinking, Why on earth would he go find Estelle? First, they weren’t related, and second, Estelle was broke; he didn’t want anything to do with her.

He was seething at Carmella’s hypocrisy but put on a pitiful face and said, “Carmella, how could you say that? Blood is thicker than water; we’re born to the same mother; our parents are gone; we’re the only family left. If you don’t look out for me, who will?”

He repeated the same line he used with Estelle to try to convince Carmella.

Carmella felt a wave of disgust looking at Victor, as if she were looking at a pile of filth. “Are you and Estelle in cahoots against me?”

“What does she have to do with this?” Victor asked, puzzled.

Carmella took a deep breath, trying to pawn Victor off to Estelle: “You two are the ones who grew up together. She’s had all the benefits of the Brown family, not me. I’m a MacClain!”
