[So, all that patriotic flair and those vintage designs were just to reel in the fans? It turns out we’re the clowns being played!]
[People like that aren’t worth our admiration. Pack up her little studio and get out of the country! Go grovel to her M Country
sugar daddy!] That night Bennett and Simone were summoned to the family’s old manor. Upon arrival, a servant informed them,
“The master is in the study, he instructed that you are to go straight there.” Bennett and Simone entered the study, only to find
Terrence engrossed in a book. “Take a seat, you two!” Terrence put his book aside and removed his glasses before addressing
Bennett, “How’s your company holding up these days?” Bennett caught Simone’s eyes, and with a hesitant voice, he admitted,
“Barely getting by.” His company had suffered greatly under the pressure of the Lamont Group, losing more than half of their
clients in one fell swoop. It was only with the old manor’s support that they had managed to stay afloat. Lately, supplier issues
had been causing a continuous drop in quality, which led to customer attrition and cash flow problems. These issues had Bennett
scrambling every single day. Terrence spoke up, “Today, I got a call from the Crawleys in B City, who negotiated with me about
their project.” Simone immediately responded, “Have the Crawleys finally loosened up?” Terrence nodded slightly while sipping
his tea, “But the Crawleys have a condition.” “What’s the condition?” Bennett asked. “Estelle got into some trouble, didn’t she?
Now, there’s an old article surfacing online, which accused her of being ungrateful to her adoptive parents who put her through
college. After she made a name for herself, she supposedly cut ties with them.” Terrence looked at Simone, “The Crawleys want
you to make a public statement to confirm that the story is true.” Simone was taken aback, and Bennett inhaled sharply. “The
Crawleys have offered us a deal. If we do as they ask, the B City project will kick off immediately, and they’ll partner with us,”
Terrence explained. Simone’s eyes darted around, “But, Estelle has the Lamonts behind her. We didn’t even speak out last time,
and we still got squashed by Jonathan. If we publicly
betray Estelle now, will the Lamonts let us off the hook?” “I’ve done some digging. Jonathan isn’t in the country, and the Lamont
parents are off on a vacation in the Country of S. So if we act quickly, the Lamonts won’t have time to respond.” Simone was still
wary, “But what if Jonathan returns?” A cunning glint passed through Terrence’s weary eyes, “The Crawleys have given us a
second condition. As long as KING is blacklisted and never to rise again, they’ll assist our move to B City. Once we’re in B City,
which is the Crawley family’s territory, Jonathan won’t be able to touch us!” (Image) Before Bennett could respond, Simone
silenced him with her gaze. She smiled thinly, “You’re suggesting we release this statement?” “It wouldn’t be the worst thing,”
Terrence said slowly. “We’ve always told the public that Estelle is our adopted daughter, after all.” (Image) Sacrificing Estelle for
the family’s prosperity was justifiable; after all, she was the Macclain’s daughter and could be seen as contributing to the family’s
legacy. Content belongs to Draмanovels.cоm Simone’s eyes flickered, “And what’s in it for us?” Terrence looked at Simone with
a stern gaze and said with a faint smile, “I’m securing advantages for the Macclain family. Eventually, it will all be yours.” (Image)
