Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2079

Rumors were swirling that the Macclain family had sought refuge with the Crawleys, only to be duped by their so-called benefactors!

Truth and lies were indistinguishable, but one thing was crystal clear, the Macclains were toast!

Debt collectors swarmed like locusts, besieging the grand Macclain Mansion, cutting off all escape.

Oddly, the third branch of the Macclain family's business hummed along without a hitch, untouched by the chaos, standing as the last bastion in a fallen dynasty.

The gossip-hungry netizens sniffed out the anomaly in no time.

Just yesterday, KING had returned to the country, vindicating herself and pointing the finger at a conspiracy between the Crawley and Macclain families. Overnight, both houses had crumbled.

It was unearthed that during KING's darkest hour, only the third branch of the Macclain family had stood by Estelle, offering a few words of fairness.

Now, they were the only ones spared from the downfall!

The chill in the air seemed to intensify, sending shivers down everyone's spine.

With the pieces falling into place, the truth lay bare, cross the Lamont family, and there was only one outcome!

Where once there were bold voices on the internet, now silence reigned, caution the new trend.

But the Crawleys and Macclains weren't the only ones to suffer. The president and vice-president of the design association that had expelled KING were swiftly sacked. Those who had audaciously led the charge against him found themselves jobless and blacklisted. The bloggers, influencers, and PR firms that had once flattered the two families vanished from the web overnight.

The Lamonts' retaliation was swift and ruthless, casting a frigid pall over J City. Those who had slandered KING huddled at home, shivering with fear in this cold winter.

Had Carmella planned her exit even before the Macclains' downfall?

Without time to ponder, he tried calling Carmella.

No answer.

He resorted to texting, [Carmella, your mother's seriously ill, in surgery at the hospital. We need a lot of money, urgently. Please, return the funds so we can get your mom the care she needs.]

Silence.

No matter how Bennett messaged, whether he pleaded or raged, Carmella never replied.
