Chapter 862
Jonathan squinted and questioned, “What money?”
Geoffrey tossed the bill in front of him and said, “Check out how much you’ve shelled out to Estelle in just a year! Is this what a tutor should deserve?” Jonathan didn’t need to look at the bill. He knew how much he’d given to Estelle.
He answered, “Paying a good tutor this much isn’t outrageous. And as for whether Estelle is just a tutor, I think Henson’s transformation speaks for itself!”
“Don’t give me that!” Geoffrey cut him off. “Today, Estelle’s brother came to the house claiming you two are getting hitched. As a father, I was kept in the dark about my son’s marriage?”
“Brother?” Jonathan scrunched his eyebrows.
“Yes, Estelle’s brother. He even said that after you two are married, the Lamont family will give him a company and a mansion. Is this what you and Estelle discussed?”
Jonathan was more puzzled. Since when did Estelle have a brother?
He frowned, “Estelle doesn’t have a younger brother. I’m afraid this person was a fake. He wanted to cheat money.”
“He claimed that they were separated when they were five, and Estelle was adopted from an orphanage and got her current name. He also knew about you and Estelle. Are you sure he’s a fake?” Geoffrey questioned.
Jonathan froze for a moment.
Seeing his reaction, Geoffrey frowned and said, “You didn’t know either?”
He scoffed, “This is amusing! Looks like this was a scheme cooked up by Estelle and her ‘brother‘! So do you think Estelle is with you because she likes you, or your money?”
Jonathan’s face was grim, “Estelle isn’t that kind of girl!”
“That’s because you’ve been blinded by her!” Geoffrey snapped. “No matter how much you like Estelle, you need to break up with her now! She definitely can’t continue as Henson’s tutor. I’ll find someone else for Henson.”
Jonathan looked up and said, “No, I won’t break up with Estelle!”
Jonathan was firm, “Estelle is not a gold digger. This is a misunderstanding! I’ll prove it!”
Jonathan replied calmly, “You can’t stop me from liking Estelle. Right now, I can’t convince you to believe in Estelle. Pushing this will only lead to a bigger fight! I told you, I can prove that Estelle isn’t the girl you think she is!“:
Geoffrey thought for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, look into it. I’ll give you time. But no matter what, Estelle can’t continue as Henson’s tutor.”
