Chapter 1684
Estelle gazed into the red wine in her glass, swirling it gently. “Magdalen, do you know why I’ve always been
reluctant to go public with my relationship
with Jonathan?”
Magdalen nodded, “I know, you have many concerns.”
Estelle spoke softly, “On one hand, I feel it’s good to be with Jonathan just like this, staying low-key. After all, what
we love is each other, irrelevant to all other external factors. Once those things seep in, they’ll only disrupt our
peaceful, enjoyable companionship. On the other hand, Jonathan has long detached himself from his mercenary
past, and he’s now the heir to the Lamont Group, the CEO of the Lamont Group. But I’m different. I’ve never fully
detached myself. I still have my brother, and…
Estelle paused, not saying what she meant, she continued, “I love Jonathan, but I don’t want these things on me to

give him is pure.”
Magdalen furrowed her brows slightly, “I thought after being with Jonathan for so long, those things would have
changed. Turns out they haven’t!” She had always been like this, being kind to someone by shouldering all the
burdens herself, even to the point of risking her own life.
Back in the day, when Gabriel attempted to guarantee her a safe life, she could have completely disentangled from
the situation and chosen to return to normal. But for the sake of avenging Wolf and others, she went back to Tripe,
sweeping away all obstacles, established the Snow Hawk, and even signed those agreements.
Gabriel was so angry he almost hit her then, but he had to endure.
The same way, she had to endure, and so did Jonathan!
“Ms. Sampson!”
The chef brought over the grilled skewers, lobster, scallops, and more. “Enjoy your meal!”
Others on the garden patio, enticed by the smell of the grilled skewers and seafood, stopped eating their steaks
and crowded around.
The chef explained to them that this was a private order for Ms. Sampson,
Magdalén, ever generous, told the chef, “Prepare more. It’s on me, everyone have as much as you like!”
There was immediate cheer.
Estelle couldn’t help but laugh. “Coming here for a barbecue, you’ve indeed set a precedent for the 9th Mansion!”
Magdalen stripped the sticks. “As long as it’s enjoyable. It’s pretty much the saine going other places to eat. Good
service is the principle!”
She went to get some wine, complaining, “We should be drinking beer!”
She beckoned a waiter over, asking them to fetch some draft beer,
Only Magdalen would treat the 9th Mansion like a barbecue stand in all of J.City!
Magdalen reached into her pocket for her phone, but found something else. Het brows furrowed as she took it out
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand tossed it on the table. Estelle lifted her gaze at the thing. It was a necklace inlaid with green diamonds. She
raised her eyebrow slightly. “What’s this?”
Magdalen said coolly, “I yanked it off Antonia’s neck earlier when slapping her face. I had my eye on this necklace
at the beginning, but I didn’t like the diamond color at the counter, so I had it custom made with green diamonds.
Then it went missing while being delivered. I thought I had thrown it away with the box by accident. Today I found
out, Antonia had taken it.”
Estelle’s eyes dimmed slightly. “How could Antonia have taken it from your house?”
Magdalen took a big gulp of her beer, her expression cold. “Ask Morrison!”
Estelle spoke in a low voice. “What’s going on between Morrison and Antonia?”
With a confident look in her eyes, Magdalen said, “Antonia is just a gold digger Morrison wouldn’t pay much
attention to her. He’s seen plenty of women” Estelle’s eyes held a cold warning. “Beware of losing control on what
you were assured of!”
Magdalen looked up. “If he is really that kind of man, he won’t be worth my attention in the first place!”
