Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1229

Seeing Estelle's unresponsive attitude to his continuous boasting, David couldn't help but feel a bit anxious, signaling to a few people around him.

Soon, a man came over and raised his glass to Estelle, saying, "Ms. McClain, you've been working hard in the crew; the success of the crew is inseparable from you; here's to you!"

Mr. Tucker introduced the man to Estelle.

Knowing he was an investor, Estelle had no choice but to deal with it. She stood up to show her gratitude and drank the toast.

Then three or four more people came over, all from the investment side, praising Estelle as if without her the crew couldn't go on.

When another person came over, David suddenly stood in front of Estelle, taking on a protective stance, saying, "Ms. McClain is young with a low tolerance for alcohol; you guys should drink with me instead!"

People around started teasing, "David is being considerate towards women?"

"David, if you say so, we won't hold back!"

"For the sake of beauty, David is going all out today!"

Mr. Tucker was awkwardly standing by, suddenly regretting bringing Estelle here.

Estelle also realized that she had not misunderstood David. At today's cocktail party, someone came prepared, especially by setting a trap for her.

What about Jonathan? Did he know David's intentions?

Across the massive wine table, Jonathan on the other side took a call, then the man next to him suddenly stood up, smiling to his female companion, "I'm going out to take a call; you accompany Mr. Lamont for a few drinks."

The woman in a champagne-colored off-shoulder dress, with a flash of surprise on her face, immediately nodded. Just about to get up to go over, Jonathan suddenly said, "You're someone else's date; I can't just steal someone else's stuff!"

David's face became even uglier he was wondering whether Jonathan was interested in Estelle or if they knew each other already.

He liked Estelle, or else he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to ask her out, but he dared not offend Jonathan!

Jonathan's methods—everyone in J City knew!

He stared at the two, seeing that after Estelle sat down, Jonathan took the initiative to get her utensils and served her soup, but didn't say a word.

Then Jonathan turned to the person who was talking to him before and said, "You didn't finish what you were saying; continue!"

Estelle kept her head down while eating, not saying a word to Jonathan throughout.
