Chapter 66
Bennett asked Sabina to look after Estelle more, and Leonie, didn’t want to fall behind, also praised her
own daughter and son, asking Sabina to help them out
more
Estelle seized the opportunity to slip away quietly, returning to the sofa to continue playing games with
Hans.
The Macclain family had a gathering at the old house every week, and another one every half a month.
It was a rule set by Terrence. During the gatherings, the men would chat about business matters, while
the women would gossip and strengthen their relationships.
Sallie arrived just in time for dinner. Being an art student, she dressed rather unconventionally. After arri
ving, she threw her bag on the sofa and put her legs on the coffee table, looking quite indecent.
Leonie came over and hinted for her to greet Mrs. Macclain, but Sallie ignored her. From NôvelDrama.Org.
When the dishes were served, everyone took their seats one after another. Terrence sat in the main se
at, with Mrs. Macclain on his left and Sabina on his right. The others took their seats in turn. When Este
lle went over, there was only an empty seat at the end of the table.
Bennett felt a bit sorry for her and wanted to call her over but Sallie took the seat directly, leaving him n
o choice but to keep quiet.
The Macclain family liked to chat during meals. Everyone was laughing
and talking, making it a lively atmosphere. Sabina was still the center of everyone’s
conversation.
“Sabina works at the Lamont Group, she needs to help us with our family business more in the future,”
Leonie said with a smile.
Sabina smiled modestly, “Mr. Lamont knows my name and background and still lets me follow him arou
nd. That shows he trusts me completely.”
In other words, she wouldn’t betray Jonathan and steal company information for the Macclain family, let
ting them know not to even think about it.
Terrence chuckled, “If we did that, we’d be the ones being petty. The Lamont family trusts us, we can’t
do such things.”
Leonie’s smile became a bit stiff, and she didn’t say anything
“As long as Sabina does well in the Lamont Group, the Lamont family will take care of the Macclain fam
ily, even if it’s just for Sabina’s sake, Mrs. Macclain said kindly
“That’s true!” Natalia chimed in, pulling on Sabina’s sleeve to reveal an exquisite diamond bracelet. “Thi
s expensive Armani bracelet was a gift from Mr. Lamont. It shows that he really cares about our Sabina
”
“Oh my!” Leonie exclaimed dramatically. Sallie wanted this bracelet before, but couldn’t get
it. Mr. Lamont is really amazing!”
Estelle, who was eating shrimp, was startled by Leonie’s exclamation and looked at Sabina’s wrist.
Sabina calmly pulled her sleeve back down to cover the bracelet,
and said gracefully. “It’s just company benefits.”
“Getting such an expensive gift as company benefits? I don’t believe it!” Leonie’s eyes were filled with s
hrewd calculations. “Maybe in no time, Sabina won’t be just a secretary, but Mrs Lamont. At that time, S
abina should take good care of her uncle!
Terrence and Mrs Macclain both looked at Sabina expectantly.
Blushing slightly, Sabina gave a light laugh and said, “You must be joking”
Stanley Macclain and Leonie flattered and appeased Sabina, making the atmosphere at the table even
more lively. Meanwhile, things were unusually quiet at the end of the table
Bennett was a bit unhappy ever since people started talking
about Sabina and Jonathan’s relationship. He
observed Estelle’s expression while frowning. Sallie couldn’t stand her parents‘ sycophantic behavior a
nd started playing on her phone.
Leonie glanced at her daughter and slapped her hand in disappointment. “all you know is playing game
s all day. Can’t you just be more ambitions and mature? Why can’t you learn from your sister Sabina?”
Sallie’s face darkened. She put down her phone and jabbed at a chicken wing in her bowl with her fork
as if it had done her wrong.
Natalia stepped in to smooth things over, “Sallie is very talented too, she’s studying in design school a
nd will have her own studio in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Leonie pretended to be modest, “She’s still young and inexperienced, so I’m plannin
g to have her work at KING’s design studio for some time after she graduates
