Find Me In Your Labyrinth - Season 3 Episode 20

The next morning, Schilder and Jonathan both signed a cooperation agreement, with only the Lamont family on the cooperating side.

Schilder reached out and said, “Cheers to a great partnership!”

Jonathan raised his hand and shook it, saying, “To a great partnership!”

Schilder laughed, “Mr. Lamont’s girlfriend is really cute. Thank her for finding my wife’s long–lost earrings. I’m so grateful! Please be sure to convey my sincere thanks to her!”

“Thanks for the compliment! I sure will!” Jonathan replied with a gentle smile.

Schilder said, “We’re leaving today, but we’ll keep in touch through phone.”

“Sounds good!”

Schilder and his wife caught an afternoon flight. Estelle and Jonathan saw them off at the manor. When they left, they saw Winnie waiting outside the villa.

Baldrick was furious to learn that Schilder had signed an agreement with Jonathan alone and stormed off before noon. But Winnie was still there. Winnie, wearing a long dress with light makeup, looked even younger and fresher than before.

She approached with a smile, looked at Jonathan, and said, “Mr. Lamont, can I talk to Estelle in private for a moment?”

Jonathan looked at Estelle, who nodded and said, “I’m all packed up, and we can leave right after.”

Their business in C City was done, and they were returning to J City that afternoon. Estelle didn’t have much to pack. It was just a few gifts from Mrs. Macy before she left and some local specialties from C City that Jonathan had prepared for her.

Jonathan patted her head and said, “I’ll be waiting!”

“Mhm!”

Estellé agreed and said to Winnie, “Let’s go!”

The two strolled along the garden path beside the villa. Winnie started the conversation by saying, “Mr. Lamont is really good to you!”

Estelle raised her eyebrows, neither confirming nor denying.

Winnie smiled faintly, “When I first got together with Baldrick, I was about your age, fresh out of college. I had big dreams but couldn’t resist his tenderness. I plunged into love and stayed by his side for seven years! During these years, I followed him around for business, watched him do whatever it takes to inherit the family wealth, saw him marry another woman, and have children.”

Estelle looked at her in astonishment.

“Would you look down on me? I despise ‘the other woman, but I always thought ours was true love.” Winnie laughed sarcastically, her eyes filled with sadness before continuing, “I’ve been by his side all these years, and he’s always pampered me. He never hesitates to spend money on me and takes me wherever he goes. I always believed he loved me, but he married other women for the sake of the family business until…”

Her voice choked for a moment before continuing, “Until he wanted me to accompany Schilder for this cooperation, I finally realized that I wasn’t that important. But even then, I was still obsessed, willingly being used by him!”
