Chapter 2549

Magdalen climbed into the car and immediately called Estelle. The phone rang until it was nearly about to go to voicemail before Estelle finally picked up. "What is it?"

Magdalen sounded frustrated. "I got so caught up in things that I completely lost track of time. I didn't interrupt you and Jonathan, did I?"

Estelle's voice was a little hoarse. "Just tell me what's going on."

Magdalen couldn't help laughing, but after the chuckle, worry crept across her face. “I just ran into Sylvia outside 9th Mansion. She was with Mr. Winters, and they looked pretty close."
