Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2069

Carson could sense that Marina was sizing him up, ready for a bit of friendly competition. He didn't argue, just nodded in agreement. "You're absolutely right!"

Marina ignored his nonchalant attitude and continued, "With such a scandalous revelation, I can't wait to see the downfall of the MacClain family!"

Carson's brows furrowed slightly. "I do feel for Jonah, though. Those are Estelle's biological parents, after all. That blood bond isn't something to overlook."

Marina scoffed coldly. "They sure didn't think about blood bonds when they framed Estelle. People like them don't deserve any mercy!"

He looked at her, his handsome face breaking into a small smile. "I've got to admit, I quite like your decisive nature."

Through this ordeal, Marina had come to see Carson in a new light; he wasn't just another trust fund kid with no substance.

She said candidly, "Once our engagement is off, we can still be friends!"

Carson chuckled softly. "Why are you always on about breaking off the engagement?"

Marina was forthright. "Being friends with someone like you is one thing, but lovers or spouses? That's a whole different ballgame."

Carson was left speechless.

What did she think of him, really?

A line of cars cruised down the streets of J City towards the Lamont estate.

Gabriel sat in the back of his car, the neon city lights blurring past the window, and he suddenly thought of Sylvia.

Had he been too stingy in the past? Aside from a code name, he hadn't even given her a real name.

She was in J City too.

Had she come back?

Inside the grand hall, Old Mr. Jarvis and Old Mr. Quintin took their places of honor while the servants served tea and the rest of the family settled down.

Geoffrey spoke up, "This incident has escalated, and we have to take our share of the blame. Mr. Jarvis, it was too much to let you to come all this way. We can't apologize enough."

Old Mr. Jarvis waved it off. "I wanted to see Estelle, it was my own choice. Besides, with the wedding approaching, it's time her true identity was revealed."

Geoffrey nodded. "The MacClain and Crawley families won't be a problem. Jonathan will handle them. The Lamonts won't let anyone get away with targeting our daughter-in-law."

Old Mr. Quintin added, "How are things in B City?"

Jonathan replied confidently, "The Gilder family has made their move, and the evidence is solid. We'll have results by tonight."

Old Mr. Quintin nodded in approval. "Good. They've shown their true colors and malicious intent towards Estelle. We can't give them any chance to strike back."

Jonathan's gaze was sharp as steel. "Rest assured, they won't get one."
