Jonathan didn’t reveal any emotions on his face. “Estelle is my girl, so please, Mr. Scott, stay away from her.”
“Your girl?” Manley sneered. “Mr. Lamont, are you announcing Estelle’s identity?”
Jonathan chuckled coldly. “I thought Mr. Scott was a smart man, you should’ve known better.”
Manley put his hands in his pockets, with a cynical smile. “How could I know, when Mr. Lamont’s girl is serving people in a place like this? You
didn’t make it clear.”
Jonathan wasn’t angered by his words, and calmly said, “Now that you know, shouldn’t you stay away from Estelle?”
“Stay away from her?” Manley laughed maliciously. “If one day, Mr. Lamont sees Estelle in my bed, then we can talk about this, all right?”
Mamie could clearly feel Jonathan’s anger. Seeing him take a step forward, she immediately looked back at Estelle.
Estelle had already moved, blocking Jonathan’s path, holding his wrist, and whispered, “Jonathan!”
Jonathan slowly relaxed, holding Estelle’s hand, and gave Manley a cold smile. “Mr. Scott had better understand what I said today. By next time, I will do more than just give a verbal warning!”
After that, he left with Estelle.
Mamie’s back was all sweaty. She sighed with relief, said goodbye to Manley, and left the private room with them.
Manley sat on the sofa, expressionless. After a while, his eyes fell on the half glass of wine Estelle had poured. He picked it up and drank it in one gulp.
Clement sat down next to him and advised, “the Lamont family is rich and has the Jarvis family’s support. We might have to cooperate with them in the future. Why bother messing with him? And involving an innocent girl, just let it go!”
Manley glanced at him indifferently, his seductive eyes making it hard to tell what he was thinking.
He suddenly laughed and filled up his glass with the wine Estelle had brought. “Quite interesting!“, he said playfully.
“What?” Clement asked, puzzled.
Manley didn’t say anything more and finished his glass of wine. He stood up and smiled, “Let’s go play cards!”
Clement thought Manley was just teasing Estelle to piss off Jonathan, so he didn’t take it to heart and got up to accompany him to play cards.
Jonathan took Estelle to Room 8809. The dim light was on, and they were the only two people in the room. The place, which should have been noisy and lively, felt rather unsettling when quiet.
Jonathan walked ahead and suddenly stopped, turning to look at Estelle, his eyes angry. “Last time’s incident didn’t teach you a lesson, huh? Why can’t you stay away from him?”
Estelle’s ponytail emphasized her delicate innocence. She pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.
Jonathan’s handsome face became colder. “And you dare to drink his wine, you-”
Before he could finish, Estelle suddenly stepped forward, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her head in his chest, relying on him
Jonathan’s scolding got stuck in his throat.
He took a deep breath and held her. “If he forces you, just ignore to him, call me, and I’ll come right away!”
Estelle raised her head in his arms and slowly began to speak. “Someone else was stirring up trouble at his room, and Manley taught them a lesson for me. He didn’t force me to drink.”
Jonathan’s eyes narrowed slowly. “are you touched by him?”
