Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 989

Jonathan watched as Estelle's car drove off into the distance, then turned to Gwen, "Let's go!"

Gwen immediately quickened her pace to catch up with him.

…

The next day, while Estelle was working, Yvonne walked in carrying a cup of coffee. Leaning against the window, she said, "I've been away for a few days, and wouldn't you know it, I miss out on a great show!"

Estelle was sketching a design on a piece of paper and replied nonchalantly, "If you want to see a show, put one on yourself."

Yvonne chuckled sarcastically, "You don't actually believe that Clarice was out to get you, do you?"

Estelle paused her pen but didn't respond.

Yvonne snorted, "I'd bet my last dollar that Gwen's behind all this. First, she buys off Clarice's little assistant, Alice, and then uses this whole thing to get Mr. Kress to kick you off the project! You're no fool, Estelle. When Jonathan showed up and the truth came out, Gwen had Alice shove all the blame onto Clarice. From start to finish, Gwen's hands are clean, and she even gets to play the good guy in front of Jonathan!"

She mocked, "Gwen is one clever cookie."

Estelle laughed dryly, "Didn't she learn it all from you?"

Yvonne replied, "I've been scheming for ages and I still haven't got Jonathan. I'm no match for her!"

"You can keep wrestling with her," Estelle suggested flatly.

Yvonne scoffed, "Are you trying to pit us against each other?"

"No, because it wouldn't matter to me whether you or she wins," Estelle said honestly.

Yvonne suddenly leaned in closer, her heavily made-up eyes staring at Estelle, "Does Jonathan know that it was really Gwen who was trying to screw you over?"

Estelle stared back at her.

Yvonne said, "If I can figure it out, Jonathan must have too. But he didn't say a word. Could it be that he's really fallen for Gwen?"

Charlie paused for a moment, then said, "Why not take him out for a meal?"

Carson laughed, "Charlie, are you pulling my leg?"

Charlie chuckled, then slowly said, "Invite one more person."

"Who?" Carson asked.

"Estelle," Charlie said with a smirk.

Carson was taken aback, then it dawned on him. He gratefully said, "Thanks, Charlie!"

"Don't mention it!" Charlie gave him another suggestion, "If you invite Estelle yourself, she might not come. Have Marina make the call."

"Got it!"
