Chapter 1691
“Break his hands, and send him to the precinct!” Jonathan’s voice was icy cold, not showing the slightest hint of
emotion.
“Yes, sir!” Nate responded obediently.
Cliffs expression shifted, his tone changing as he finally eased, “Mr. Lamont, let me think about it.”
“Sure! Jonathan replied immediately. “Since last night, Ms. Crawley has been too homesick to eat or drink. Take
your time, Mr. Crawley. We’ll make sure Antonia is well taken care of
Upon hearing this, Cliff finally became agitated, “Jonathan, how dare you abuse Antonia?”
“It’s not abuse. It’s how we look after her, Jonathan replied calmly, “she’s the one refusing to eat. What can we do?
We can’t force her!*
Cliff was far from convinced by Jonathan’s words, “Mr. Lamont, even if J City is your turf, don’t overstep your

Jonathan chuckled coldly, “If you think this is crossing the line, Mr. Crawley, I’m afraid you’re in for a
disappointment.”
A shadow crossed Cliff’s face, “What else do you want to do to Antonia?”
“Our treatment of Antonia will depend on how sincerely you handle this matter! Jonathan stood up, his voice muted.
“Take your time. I’m in no rush. I’ll be waiting for your answer.”
With that, Jonathan turned and walked out, his tall figure exuding a chilling arrogance.
Cliff felt a strong urge to kick something. He stretched out his foot, hitting the corner of the table. He stood up
abruptly, his face pale!
Ever since he came to J City, everything seemed to be against him!
A waiter entered the room, politely saying. “Sir, this is Mr. Lamont’s private residence. Do you have another
appointment with Mr. Lamont? If not, please leave as soon as possible.”
Cliff glared at the waiter with rage!
He paced around the room, thinking about who he knew in J City that could stand up to the Lamont family.
One of his subordinates suggested, “We could try the Langston family. The patriarch of the Langston family was a
comrade-in-arms with our patriarch. The two families have maintained good relations over the years. Ms. Crawley
was studying in J City, and the Langston family was entrusted to look after her by Mrs. Crawley. However, we found
out that the heir of the Langston family Morrison Langston’s fiancée, Magdalen Sampson, has a good relationship
with KING.
Cliff frowned, “The Langston family isn’t powerful enough to confront the Lamont family. Any other options?”
“There have been rumors that the Scott family and the Lamont family are at odds. Manley Scott, the heir of the
Scott family, had clashed with Jonathan. over business deals. It was quite a mess!”
“Oh right, there’s also the Gilder family’s son, who’s in J City”
“The Gilder family?” Cliffs face darkened, “Unless it’s absolutely urgent, don’t bother the Gilder family”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCliff had his own concerns. The Gilder family had expressed interest in an alliance with the Crawley family through
marriage. Naturally, Cliff was more than happy to see this happen. The wealth of the Crawley family combined with
their status would be an unbeatable alliance.
So, he didn’t want the Gilder family to know about this matter, to avoid ruining Antonia’s image in their eyes.
“Get in touch with the Scott family,” Cliff ordered.
The waiter returned to urge them to leave. Cliff’s face darkened as he left, seething with anger.
However, by evening, the person who was sent to contact the Scott family returned with some news. The Scott
family had refused!
Cliff was taken aback, “They refused? Did we not offer enough, or are the Scott family also afraid of Jonathan?”
His subordinate, his facial features all puckered up, “Neither. They said that they couldn’t risk offending Estelle
Macclain.”
Cliff was frustrated, “Why is it always Estelle? What kind of relationship does she have with the Scott family?
“It seems to be related to Manley, the subordinate hesitated, “They said if they sided with us against Estelle, their
son would cause a huge commotion. So, I guess it must be related to Manley
Cliff was puzzled, “Didn’t you say that Manley and Jonathan are archenemies? How did this Estelle manage to get
both of them to stand up for her?”
