Chapter 1694
Morrison wore an expression of helplessness. “It’s not like that. She came to see me and I wasn’t here. She found
the necklace and thought it was pretty, so she took it. She later texted me about it on WhatsApp.”
“She came here looking for you?” A hint of severity flashed in Magdalen’s eyes.
“She was preparing for the school anniversary performance and asked for my help in deciding which song to sing,
Morrison explained.
A sarcastic laugh escaped Magdalen. “If things keep going this smoothly between you two, what’s next?
Sneaking into bed while I’m not around?”
Morrison’s face darkened at Magdalen’s taunt, uttering blandly. ‘Magdalen, I’m not interested in Antonia and I won’t
betray you. You know this very well.”
“You might not be interested in Antonia, but do you know she’s interested in you?” Magdalen questioned.
Morrison hesitated before replying, “Yes, I know: “So what? You’re fully aware of her feelings, yet you continue to
indulge her. You let her take my necklace, helped her choose songs, allowed her to use your private suite. What are

Morrison’s expression turned solemn. “Magdalen, you know I’m not that kind of person. The Crawley family asked
me to look after Antonia, and I’ve been trying to maintain my distance!”
“This is your idea of maintaining distance? What would it look like if you weren’t?” Disappointment filled Magdalen’s
eyes as she looked at the man before her. “Forget it, I don’t want to argue with you. If you want to rescue Antonia,
go ahead. Don’t worry about me. But let me make this clear. If she dares to mess with Ella, I won’t go easy on her!”
With that, Magdalen turned and walked away.
Morrison quickly followed, reaching out to grab her arm. “Magdalen!”
Magdalen swiftly sidestepped him, retreating several steps and glaring at Morrison callously, “Don’t make me
despise you. I can love you with all my heart, but I can also break up with you in an instant. And you’d better not
pester me. You might not be able to handle me.”
A cold look settled on Morrison’s handsome face. “You accuse me of having ambivalent attitude toward Antonia. Do
you even care? If Antonia hadn’t upset Estelle, would you have even noticed Antonia? Do you care about me at
all?”
Magdalen stared at Morrison, stunned. “Turns out we do have a lot of problems between us. I just didn’t want to
face them. We both have complaints about each other, but we’ve stopped communicating. We’re letting the gap
between us grow.”
Magdalen took a deep breath. “Maybe we should take a break and reconsider our relationship.”
“There’s no gap. We just love each other too much,’ Morrison argued.
“No!” Magdalen shook her head. Her mind was a whirl. She turned and headed downstairs.
Morrison followed her. “Where are you going?”
“Anywhere away from you!” Magdalen’s eyes were cold. Without looking back, she quickly descended the stairs and
left.
Morrison stood at the corner of the stairs, watching as Magdalen’s rose-colored skirt disappeared through the door,
the hem swishing with a swift elegance.
A servant approached, whispering, “Where did Miss Sampson go? She seemed really angry. Should you go after
her, Mr. Langston?”
Morrison rubbed his forehead, his voice low and somber. “No, let her cool off. She’ll come back.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat night Estelle was downstairs, chatting with Emily. Jonathan was working in his study. After reviewing a
document, he received a call from Charlie James.
“You’ve caught the Crawley family’s daughter for what happened to Estelle?” Charlie asked directly.
Jonathan leaned back in his chair, looking out the window. His expression was as cool as an autumn night.
“Yes.”
“Do you need help?” Charlie asked.
“No.”
Charlie continued, ‘The Crawley family only left politics for business during Cliff’s father’s generation. But they’ve
grown arrogant and unrefined, acting more and more like nouveau riche. Cliff is like this, and so is the daughter he
raised. Even the Crawley family doesn’t know how much of their wealth as the richest family in B City is genuine.
But sometimes, the actions of the nouveau riche can be unpredictable. Even if you’re 100% certain, don’t let your
guard down. I’m worried Cliff might hurt Estelle. Estelle can handle herself, but the people around her can’t. That
could be Estelle’s weakness.”
Jonathan frowned slightly. “You’re beating around the bush. You just want my men to protect Emily and Kya too,
tight? Why not just say it?”
Charlie’s tone remained leisurely. “I’m just reminding you to be thorough.”
Jonathan scoffed. “I dont recall you ever caring about me before.”
