Chapter 1670
The meeting officially kicked off. Jonathan, in a nonchalant manner, was slouched against his chair, a lollipop lodged
in his mouth. He listened attentively as Chuck and others discussed project proposals, his gaze occasionally drifting
to Estelle, where it would linger for a few seconds.
Estelle, on the other hand, pulled out her draft. With a pencil in one hand, she traced the outlines slowly and
deliberately.
As time went by, the meeting progressed smoothly.
While the planning department presented their report, Jonathan opened a bottle of water and placed it in front of
Estelle. She picked up the water without even raising her head, took a sip, and continued with her work.
The manager of the planning department paused, a chill running down his spine as Jonathan’s gaze met his. He
quickly regained his focus and carried on with his presentation.

decided to avoid doing so. The meeting went on more intensely than usual.
Jonathan’s concentration during the meeting was absolute. However, the juxtaposition of his lollipop and his suit
and tie attire was amusing. Chuck and his colleagues unanimously agreed that their usually stern and sharp boss
had transformed into a charming and playful CEO for the day!
Halfway through the meeting, when Estelle took a break to drink some water, she overheard Chuck saying, “After
finalizing the collaboration project with the Crawley family, they’ve been very satisfied, ringing us multiple times to
send a representative over as soon as possible.”
Estelle’s eyes narrowed slightly, a sense of unease settling in her heart. She didn’t listen any further. Instead, she
lowered her head and carried on with her
work.
The meeting lasted almost two hours. Estelle was used to sitting for hours while working on her designs, so she
didn’t feel the time drag. However, she had consumed a lot of water and had to excuse herself to the restroom.
While washing her hands, she heard the click-clack of high heels approaching. Soon, Sabina appeared in the
doorway, a look of surprise in her eyes. Ignoring Sabina, Estelle dried her hands and turned to leave. But Sabina
stepped in her way. “I just asked Kally why she didn’t accompany Mr. Lamont to the meeting. She said someone
else went instead. Was that you?”
Estelle looked at her, her expression cold. “Yes, it was me. Is there a problem?”
Sabina let out a mocking laugh, “What is it, trying to worm your way into the Lamont Group to get close to Mr.
Lamont? Isn’t being a celebrity designer good enough? Why the obsession with Mr. Lamont?”
“Isn’t being the CEO’s secretary good enough for you?” Estelle countered. “Why are you interfering in my
business?”
A flicker of annoyance crossed Sabina’s arrogant face. “Alright, let’s not talk about Mr. Lamont. Did you have a
conflict with Antonia? Do you know how much effort my grandfather has put into the B City project? Your actions

“The Macclain family’s business is none of my concern” Estelle’s expression was indifferent.
“Estelle, you really are heartless. Is it because you’ve never experienced warmth and affection? You’re always so
selfish and cold! My grandfather has called you numerous times. He deserves some respect. He is, after all, your
elder. How long are you going to keep this up? Don’t forget that you’re still a Macclain!”
“Do you really think your grandfather would keep calling me patiently just because I’m a Macclain?” Estelle asked,
looking at her calmly.
Sabina was taken aback. “You may not care about the Macclain family, but you certainly care about Mr. Lamont!
The Lamont Group has been
collaborating with the Crawley family. Don’t let Mr. Lamont ruin this partnership because he’s defending you. The
Lamont Group has been preparing for this collaboration for a whole half a year!”
“The relationship between Jonathan and I is none of your business!” Estelle took a step forward. “Movel”
“Leave the Lamont Group immediately, or I’ll make things difficult for you today! Sabina threatened, her face cold
and defiant.
A sinister glint flickered in Estelle’s eyes as she kicked towards Sabina’s stomach.
