Chapter 1696
Cliff gave a rundown of the situation, emphasizing, “This designer named KING, thinking she’s some big shot,
doesn’t respect Antonia. Antonia, with her fiery temper, had someone post online about it. Somehow, KING got
Jonathan involved and asked him to step in. Jonathan, in a heated moment, took my daughter away, insisting she
must publicly apologize. Geoffrey, our families have been intertwined for generations. We’ve had many business
collaborations over the years, and we were about to launch a new project that we’ve both been preparing for. Now,
because Jonathan’s upset about KING, even the collaboration has been terminated. This is a lose-lose situation for
both of our families!“ Cliff figured that the Lamont family wouldn’t care about a mere designer. He wanted to use
this to drive a wedge between Jonathan and KING, making Geoffrey believe that Jonathan was allowing his
affections to cloud his judgment, acting impulsively, and neglecting the family business for a woman. Geoffrey, after

impulse.”
Cliff frowned, “Geoffrey, what do you mean?”
Geoffrey looked at Cliff, his gaze stern, “You can mess with anyone in J City, even if you mess with Jonathan himself,
I can try to mediate. But if you mess with Estelle, you’d better do as Jonathan says. Nothing else will do!”
Cliff blinked, “May I ask, who is this Estelle to Jonathan?”
Geoffrey chuckled, “His wife!”
Cliff was shocked.
His face paled a bit, he forced a laugh, “When did Jonathan get married, and why didn’t the public know?”
“They’ve got their marriage license, but haven’t held the wedding yet. When they do, you’ll get an invitation, Mr.
Cliff.”
“Of course, I’ll be there.”
Geoffrey’s face hardened, “Estelle isn’t one to stir up trouble. Check what your daughter has done and apologize if
necessary. Jonathan is protective of his wife, but Estelle isn’t unreasonable. It depends on your sincerity.”
“Yes!” Cliff agreed, his face strained.
He gradually became restless, found an excuse to stand up, “I won’t disturb you any longer, I should get going.”
“Take care.”
“You’re so kind.”
After saying goodbye to Geoffrey, Cliff turned to leave. As soon as he stepped out of the mansion, his face fell.

This was a total surprise!
Although Geoffrey was polite today, his attitude was firm. It was as if he was saying, “If you mess with Estelle, it
doesn’t matter who you seek help from, you have to do as Jonathan says!”
A shadow passed over Cliff’s eyes. If they really did as Jonathan said, that would be the end of Antonia’s star-
studded path!
On his way back to the suburban mansion, he was still hesitating.
When he entered the gate, his underling was standing outside looking uneasy.
“What’s wrong?” Cliff asked coldly.
Before his underling could answer, a thunderous shout came from inside the house, “Cliff, get in here now!”
A chill ran down Cliffs spine. He hurried into the house and asked in surprise, “Dorothy, what brings you here?”
Dorothy glared at Cliff, then tossed a stack of photos and documents onto the table in front of him, “Great job
you’ve done!”
The photos were of Cliff and another woman.
