Chapter 1698
Around noon, Antonia’s Twitter came to life with a new announcement. She admitted that she’d been rejected when
she asked KING for a dress design, and it left her bitter. In revenge, she purchased a ghostwriter to fabricate
negative stories about KING, intending to tarnish her reputation and destroy her career.
Everything in her post was fabricated, including the gossip about KING’s parents. The rumor that KING had
intentionally caused the death of her own parents and brother was especially baseless.
Antonia claimed that seeing the online backlash against KING over the past few days had filled her with guilt and
restlessness, prompting her to confess the truth.
She admitted that her rash actions had negatively impacted KING and sincerely apologized, hoping for her
forgiveness.
Once the announcement was posted, it caused an uproar on the internet. Those who had blindly followed the

Such incidents weren’t uncommon. Everyone knew that not everything read online was true, but some people
didn’t bother to think before jumping on the bandwagon, venting their emotions without considering whether the
person being attacked was truly guilty.
KING’s fans, however, were relieved and thoroughly pleased.
[I suspect Antonia just wanted to ride on KING’s popularity!) [Did you notice that KING didn’t even bother to defend
herself? She clearly doesn’t take people like Antonia seriously] [I hope no one else will disturb KING. Let her live her
quiet life and continue creating like before!] Estelle woke from her nap and was enjoying some ice cream when she
received a link from Magdalen about Antonia’s apology.
She opened it and frowned slightly. What was going on?
Quickly, Magdalen called her, “Ella, did Jonathan approach Antonia?”
When Kevin had sought Morrison’s help to save Antonia, she found it strange. What had happened to Antonia that
she needed saving?
If Jonathan had personally intervened, Antonia was likely in deep trouble.
Otherwise, she would never post such a self-damaging announcement.
Now, she was being blasted on the internet, her acting career was over, and she was likely going to be banished
from the entertainment industry.
Estelle shook her head, “Jonathan didn’t tell me anything”
“It must have been him.” Magdalen laughed, “I just don’t know how he managed to take revenge on your behalf,
making Antonia post such a self-damaging announcement.”
Estelle thought for a moment, “I’ll call him and find out.”
“Okay.”
As Estelle was about to call Jonathan, an unknown number called her. She hesitated for a moment before
answering.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as she picked up, Sabina began to mock her, “Are you satisfied now? The Lamont Group’s half-a-year in the
planning project has been canceled to get back at Antonia on your behalf, and the Macclain family has suffered a
great loss. Are you pleased?”
Estelle paused for a moment before coolly responding, “Yes, I am. I was just about to call Mr. Lamont to thank him.”
Sabina became even more upset, “Estelle, do you even know what shame is?”
Estelle’s voice was icy, “I do know that you have no right to question me about the Lamont Group’s affairs. As for
the Macclain family, if you’re not happy, go talk to the Crawley family yourself!”
“You!”
Sabina only managed to get one word out before Estelle ended the call.
Estelle didn’t immediately call Jonathan. She didn’t need to. She was sure now that Jonathan had taught Antonia a
lesson on her behalf.
But why didn’t he say anything to her for the past few days?
Estelle sat cross-legged on the sofa, slowly eating her ice cream, wondering what project Jonathan had been
planning with the Crawley family, how much loss it would cause, and what she could do to help recover it.
Only when she finished her ice cream did she clean her hands and pick up her phone to call Jonathan.
After two rings, Jonathan answered, his voice as soft as ever, “Ella!”
