Chapter 731
Estelle and Carmella share the same birthday. Simone didn’t feel guilty for overlooking Estelle and favoring Carmella Her first reaction when she saw Estelle was to get angry.
Carmella whispered, ‘Why would my sister come? She’s not planning to announce her identity at the birthday party, is she?”
Her voice choked up, and she looked at Simone pleadingly, “Mom, can we not announce it today? After today, I can give her back the title of the Macclain family daughter anytime she wants. Please, let me spend this birthday with you?”
Simone immediately held her hand, comforting her, “No way, even if she wants to, I won’t agree. Don’t worry!”
She comforted Carmella, dealt with the guests a few more words, then walked quickly towards Estelle and whispered, “Come out with me!”
Estelle got up and followed Simone outside. Once they left the banquet hall, Simone’s face turned serious. She questioned in a low voice, “What are you doing here? Who let you in?”
Estelle’s phone rang. It was Henson asking where she was and why she hadn’t arrived yet.
[Something came up, I will be there soon]
Estelle replied to the message, then looked up at Simone and calmly said, “What are you scared of?”
Simone frowned, “The way you’re talking to me, so disrespectful Don’t you know I’m your mother?”
Estelle sneered, “So you still remember that you are my mother!”
Simone’s expression froze, looking a bit embarrassed, “You haven’t officially returned to the Macclain family, so you weren’t invited to the birthday party today. Don’t create a scene. If you ruin Carmella’s birthday, don’t even think about calling me mom again!”
Bennett, hearing Carmella say that Estelle was there, also stepped out of the banquet hall. He looked at Estelle, a hint of guilt flashing across his face, “Estelle, wait till tomorrow. We will throw another birthday party for you at home.”
Estelle’s brow furrowed, “No need, I’m here today, just by coincidence.”
Simone scoffed, “Coincidence? You knew Carmella was having her birthday party today and purposely came. Don’t think I don’t know what you are thinking!”
Bennett frowned and scolded, “Enough!”
Estelle’s face was icy. “What is on my
mind?”
Simone was left speechless by Estelle’s question, a little annoyed, “You want to take advantage of Carmella’s birthday party today and tell everyone that you are the daughter of the Macclain family, I guess right! You have learned bad tricks. You first ruined Carmella’s job, and now you want to take the opportunity to make trouble at the birthday party. Let me tell you, don’t even think about it. If you dare to say anything, I will definitely not admit it’
Estelle fell a chill in her heart, she coldly said, “Rest assured, the police figured out my identity four years ago, just to give me an explanation! Your daughter is still Carmella, I have nothing to do with you guys. I’ve survived 23 years without a mother!”
‘Estelle Bennett looked pained
Simone seemed to be touched, and awkwardly said, “As long as you treat Carmella better and stop taking her things, I can still accept you as my daughter!”
Carmella came out, gripping Simone’s arm tightly, and whispered, “Mom, even though I lost my job at Snowy Studios because of Estelle, I never held any grudges against her. Today is also her birthday, why don’t we celebrate together?”
“Stop pretending, your fake concern makes me sick!*
A cold sneer came from behind them. Everyone turned around to see Sallie Macclain striding towards them.
Sallie’s pace was swift, she quickly reached them, and looked at Carmella with disgust, “You clearly lost your job because of your plagiarism, why blame Estelle? Everyone knows your true face, stop pretending!”
