Chapter 24

By the time she got back to the villa, it was almost eleven. Estelle took a shower and was cuddling with Max on the couch while calling Magdalen to let her know she was safe.

She also took the opportunity to inquire about her conversation with Morrison and whether they had an

argument.

The phone kept ringing until it was almost about to hang up before someone answered. It was Morrison’s deep voice, “She might not be able to take your call. Any message you want me to pass on?”

Through the phone, Magdalen’s moan could be heard, sounding like she had been crying, “Morrison!”

Estelle quickly hung up.

Her cheeks flushed, she couldn’t help but clench her teeth, thinking how Magdalen couldn’t resist the enemy’s dirty temptation!

The next afternoon, when Estelle returned from the Lamont family’s home, she received a package – a big box filled with the jewelry and clothes that Magdalen had given her the night before.

From the box, she picked out a pair of earrings that didn’t look too flashy, planning to give them to Emily. But when she went to the dessert shop on Monday, the other employees told her Emily had taken leave and wasn’t at work.
