Chapter 346
After a day was Saturday, and there was a gathering at the Macclain Mansion.
Except for Estella and Corley, who was on a business trip, everyone else was present.
The gatherings of the Macclain family followed almost the same routine: the men talked about business, while the women discussed their children.
As they praised others, they also bragged about their own kids.
Of course, the ones always being praised were Sabina and Carmella.
During dinner, Simone deliberately brought up Carmella, mentioning how outstanding she was and how she had been noticed by the design department and had already started working on her own design drafts.
The group, of course, praised her immensely, while Carmella maintained a humble and reserved smile.
Sallie glanced at her and laughed coldly with a deep meaning.
Seeing everyone praising Carmella, Natalia asked quietly, “Why isn’t Estelle here again?”
Simone’s proud face suddenly turned sour.
Leonie said indifferently, “Isn’t she working part-time? There are so many customers at the Midnight Bar that she probably can’t take the weekend off!”
As she finished her words, the faces of the others looked upset. Mrs. Macclain frowned and said, “Didn’t she resign? How can she still work there? If she ruins her reputation, will the Lamont family still let her continue her tutoring job?”
Leonie scoffed, “She’s just short-sighted. If she could climb up the Lamont family, who would care about this little money?”
Sabina glanced at her coldly.
Sallie looked over and said coldly, “Mom, what does this have to do with you? Can’t you just focus on your food?”
Every time her aunt subtly started trouble, her mother would join and spoke harsh words, offending others. She used to not care, but now she felt that there was not a single good person in the Macclain family!
“Don’t interrupt when we’re talking!” Leonie glared at Sallie.
Old Mrs. Macclain asked Simone, “Has Estelle resigned or not? You are her mother, why don’t you manage her properly? If something happens, it will affect our Macclain family’s reputation!”
Simone’s face darkened and she remained silent.
Bennett hurriedly said, “Estelle has already submitted her resignation, and besides, the summer vacation is coming to an end, she will definitely resign!”
Carmella spoke softly, “Grandma, don’t blame my mom! My sister might not even listen to her!” Geoffrey’s face grew stern, and he slammed his fork on the table, “She doesn’t even listen to her

elders, what does she want to do? Since she doesn’t listen, why did she come back to the Macclaini family in the first place?”
Sallie mockingly said, “Do you think she wanted to come back?”
Leonie stared a Sallie and said, “What’s gotten into you today?”
Sallie looked at Carmella with disdain, “No matter what Estelle is like, she’s not like someone who deceives people with a fake autographed photo! If you haven’t seen KING, just say so, why do you have to be so shallow and fake?”
She used to not care much about her cousin’s family and thought that Carmella was gentle, beautiful, and intelligent. It was only natural that her aunt’s family loved Carmella and disliked Estelle.
But now, from another perspective, she noticed that Carmella had been quietly pushing Estelle out. It was this fake rich girl who had taken Estelle’s place all these years and still wanted to monopolize the family’s love for her, not allowing any room for Estelle!
She was such a hypocritical mean girl!
Sallie didn’t mention Carmella’s name in her words, but everyone knew she was talking about her. Simone’s face darkened, “Sallie, what do you mean?”
Carmella’s face was still relatively calm, and she asked with a dignified expression, “Sallie, has someone told you something?”
Simone heard Carmella’s words and immediately thought of Estelle, knowing that she was close to
Hans.
Sallie sneered, staring at Carmella, “Did you really meet KING?”
If Carmella had really met KING, she probably wouldn’t dare to show up today!
