Winston nodded politely at Estelle, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance, “Mr. Brennan, our negotiations are not
suited to a lady’s ears. Perhaps your girlfriend could enjoy some of the many amenities Zion has to offer for the
ladies.” Lambert pondered for a moment, then turned to Estelle with a soft voice, “There’s a coffee shop next door.
Why don’t you wait for me there? I won’t be long.” Estelle nodded, “Alright!” If Lambert was asking her to leave, he

She also replied to messages from Jason, Sophia.
After texting, Estelle called Evelyn.
“Don’t ask around. No one will tell you,” Estelle advised.
