Chapter 22 Who Are You ? Finished Jonathan remained noncommittal , clearly uninterested in his mother's threats . Jeremy , standing nearby , teased , " Mom , don't worry . A little while ago , Jon asked me for an invitation to the Monroe family banquet and even had my senior in Parsille help him get a dress shipped . I'd guess the girl he brought with him today is the one he's interested in . " Shannon's eyes lit up immediately . " Really ? Jon has finally wised up ? " Jonathan didn't confirm , merely replying , " She's just a friend ." Shannon had never seen him care about any girl this much . Since he was willing to go to such lengths for her , she assumed he must truly have feelings for her . Excited , she declared . " I'm taking a private jet to Javerton tonight . I have to see this girl for myself ! " Fearing his mother might frighten Estella , Jonathan quickly changed the subject . " Mom , Mia is still pregnant with the second . child , and Kayden needs your help as well . If you come here , what will they do ? " Shannon immediately looked at Mia's belly , thinking of her eldest grandson , Kayden Bennett . With Jeremy away , she knew she had to take good care of her daughter - in - law . She turned to Jeremy with a tone of regret . " Jere , Jon doesn't have much experience with relationships . Can you help him out , maybe teach him some tricks for winning a girl's heart ? " Jeremy smiled and nodded . The call ended Jeremy gave Jonathan a mischievous look . " So , you've really met someone you like ? " Jonathan raised an eyebrow as he remained silent . Jeremy knew Jonathan well . Other than when talking in court , Jonathan wasn't the type to engage in casual conversation . Curious , Jeremy pressed on , " Aren't you going to introduce me to her ? I can help you out . " Jonathan stood up , clearly not interested in discussing the topic any further . " Jeremy , don't reveal my identity when you're in Javerton . " Jeremy understood Jonathan's preference for privacy and agreed . " Alright , no problem . By the way , isn't your place just a two- bedroom apartment ? I'll stay with you for a few days . " " It's not convenient . " Jonathan outright refused . " I'll be working in the study tonight . You should stay at a hotel . " " You heartless brat ! " Jeremy laughed and scolded , then added , " I've arranged for Mr. Chase to come . If you need anything , just speak with him . He should be arriving soon ." " Thanks , Jeremy ," Jonathan sincerely expressed his gratitude . He knew Jeremy also valued his freedom , and if it weren't for helping him pursue his legal career , Jeremy wouldn't have taken over Bennett Group so early . " No worries . Maybe you could introduce me to your girlfriend ? " Jeremy suggested with a grin . Jonathan chose to ignore his brother's comment . Estella didn't recognize anyone at the banquet , so she found a corner to sit in . Naomi , who had just arrived , spotted her immediately . 1/2 P Chapter 22 Who Are You ? Finished After their previous encounter at the luxury store , Naomi had built up a lot of resentment toward Estella . On top of that , she had learned from Isabelle about Estella's rumored relationships with wealthy men , leading her to believe Estella had relied on an older man to get into the event . She inwardly scorned Estella . To her surprise , after leaving Nathaniel , Estella had turned out to be so careless , flirtatious , and seemed to be trying to seduce other men . She approached Estella , mocking her . " Estella , which sugar daddy helped you get in here ? " Estella retorted without hesitation , " Ms. Naomi , it's your mind that's filthy . Everything you see is dirty ." Naomi , furious , took a closer look at Estella's dress , only to realize it was haute couture , and it was far more expensive than her own . Jealousy bubbled up as she sneered , " What's the point of pretending ? Your dress and jewelry don't look cheap . Did some old man buy them for you ? He must really spoil you . Guess you've been working hard in bed , huh ? " Estella , uninterested in engaging with Naomi , attempted to leave , but Naomi blocked her path . " Feeling guilty ? This is Belle's family event . Someone like you doesn't belong here . Get out ! " As the two struggled , Jonathan appeared , " Ms. Naomi , I was invited to the Monroe family banquet , and Estella is my companion . You have no right to lay a hand on her . " " It's you ? " Naomi recognized him , her tone turning haughty . " Who are you ? The Monroe family invited you ? Your invitation must have some shady origins ." She knew some young men from Javerton's elite families , and this guy was unfamiliar to her , clearly not from a prominent family . Just then , Isabelle's brother , Isaac Monroe approached . Naomi , who had a favorable impression of him , hurried over , calling out , " Isaac ." Isaac gave her a brief , cold nod before turning his attention to Jonathan . His demeanor shifted instantly , becoming much . more courteous as he walked up to shake Jonathan's hand . " Mr. Bennett , I didn't expect you to actually come . About that case I asked for your help last time ... " Jonathan interrupted him with a polite smile . " Let's not discuss business tonight . "
