Chapter 96
Carmella’s palm was sweating as she held her phone, “Grandpa, I just graduated, and I don’t want to
date yet.”
Terrence went silent for a moment, his voice tumed gloomy. “Carmella, business hasn’t been good for
these two years, and the Macclain family is not as good as before. There’s going to be a big project
opening up in J City soon, and Gentry’s uncle is in charge of it. If our families get along, we might have
a chance to get
involved.”
He was solemn, “Carmella, the Macclain family has raised you for more than twenty years, and we
can’t let it go to waste. I know you’ve always been sensible, and I am sure you’ll know what to do.”
Carmella’s voice tightened, “Grandpa, I’ve always been aware of the Macclain family’s kindness, and I
will certainly pay you back in the future.”
Terrence chuckled softly, “No need to wait for the future, you have the chance now.”
He continued with a meaningful tone, “Technically, Estelle should be the real daughter of the Macclain
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfamily, and your parents‘ property should be hers. But if you obey, Grandpa will also love you”
Carmella’s head buzzed, and after a while, she asked, “Where do we meet?”
“Six o’clock tonight, Serenity Heights. Make sure to behave well.”
After hanging up the phone for a long time, Carmella was still in a daze, with only one thought in her
head – the Macclain family was going to sell her!
Usually, Terrence and Mrs. Macclain treated her kindly and lovingly, as if she were their own
granddaughter. But when it came to a critical moment, she just realized that in their eyes, she was just
an item to exchange for benefits.
Why didn’t they ask Estelle to marry Gentry?
Could it be because she was not their biological daughter, so they could simply abandon her?
No, she had been spoiled for twenty years and would not let herself be destroyed by them.
Carmella’s eyes flickered, and she quickly made up her mind.
Estelle received a call from Carmella after her classes in the afternoon. As soon as she picked up,
Carmella choked out a cry of “Estelle” and started crying.
She cried so hard she could barely speak.
Estelle walked to a quiet spot and asked softly, ‘Carmella, what’s wrong?”
Carmella sobbed, her voice panicked, “Sister, please help me, help me!”
Estelle calmly asked, “What’s the matter?”
It took a few sniffs for Carmella to say through her crying. Today, Grandpa called me and asked me to
date Gentry because he needs Gentry’s uncle’s help in bidding. You must have heard of Gentry”
Carmella cried even harder. “He’s divorced, and he physically abused his wife. If I marry into the
Franco family, I won’t survive. I’ve just graduated from college and have so many dreams I don’t want
to get married, let alone marrying into the Franco family!”
Estelle asked, “Do Mom and Dad know?”
Carmella pitifully cried, “No. Grandpa doesn’t want me to tell them. He said the Macclain family raised
me for more than twenty years and that I should give back. Sister, please help me!”
Estelle said, “How can I help you?”
Feeling helpless, Carmella said, “I don’t know. I’m scared and don’t know what to do, I don’t dare to tell
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMom and Dad, so I called you. You’re the only one I can rely
on now”
She went on, “Grandpa wants me to meet Gentry at six tonight at Serenity y Heights. Sister, can you
come with me? I’m afraid to go alone.”
Estelle hesitated for a moment, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”
“Thank you, Sister, you’re always so good to mel Carmella’s voice was hoarse from crying. Tll wait for
you at six o’clock. Please, make sure to come.”
“Yes, I’ll be there”
Estelle hung up the phone, her eyes filled with coldness
In the evening, close to six o’clock, the Macclain family driver took Carmella to Serenity Heights.
Carmella told the driver to park across the street, but she didn’t get out of the car, instead staring at the
entrance of the restaurant
At exactly six oclock, she saw Estelle getting out of a taxi and heading inside
She stared at Estelle’s back and slowly started to smile.

Estelle was beautiful, even she had to admit that
If Gentry met Estelle, he would definitely change his mind and fall for her.
