Chapter 70! ♡♡♡ Thank you so much for reading Camari' and Otis' journey. Have a pleasant weekend.
She chose a restaurant, so I followed her car into the parking lot. I turned to Nicole, who had parked her motorcycle not far from me. I walked into the restaurant with her.Unlike the previous conversation, the waiter took me to a room. It seemed like the woman had something secret she wanted to discuss with me. I sat down and didn't order anything when the waiter asked. He excused himself after asking us to wait for the order to be delivered.“Well? What do you want to talk to me about?” I asked, seeing her only stare at me.“I'm disappointed with how you caught Farrell's attention.” She looked intently at my clothes and hair. “So, is this my son's weakness?”I laughed amusedly. “What? What you're looking at is not Farrell's weakness that I mentioned the other night, Eleanor, but his favorite.”“I should have realized you were wearing blue on purpose. That's why you don't mind me spreading your intimate pictures with other men in the media.” She sneered. “You want Farrell to see more
[Otis]Fortunately, that woman was nowhere to be seen around the parking lot. She was crazy if she thought I would still want to deal with her. Jasper drove the car safely to the apartment building. Camari met Deborah, so I had dinner with Jasper."What's this?" I asked when Jasper handed me something."The invitation is in the pile of mail in your mailbox." Jasper placed the envelope on the sideboard. "The rest is only brochures with advertisements."I looked at the envelope. There was only the recipient's name, no sender's name. I opened the envelope and took out the thick paper inside. I read the name on the invitation over and over again to make sure I wasn't imagining things."What invitation, sir?" Jasper asked."Farrell and Bella's wedding invitation." I handed him the invitation."What?" he said in surprise. "What did they invite you to come for?""I'm not coming." I walked towards my bedroom.I wasn't crazy yet. An invitation with no sender's name was suspicious. My family wou
[Camari]"You're playing with fire, Camari," Otis remarked. We walked to the tent for cocktails. "Bella could do terrible things to you because of what you did today.""She invited me. Don't forget that. She should have known I wouldn't come and give her and Farrell happiness. Of course, I'm going to make a scene," I said casually.Bella proudly put the wedding ring on Farrell's finger. I wasn't to be outdone. I wore the necklace she wanted specifically to remind her of her defeat at the auction.She was holding the hand of the man I once had, the man she forcibly took away from me. Instead, I had this necklace by winning a fair fight. Her wedding day was the perfect time to wear a thirty-million-dollar necklace."Stop provoking him, Camari." Otis chuckled, so I looked away from Bella. "So, Farrell likes the color blue. That's why you wear that color every day. I thought it was your favorite color.""I like gold, like the color of my hair." I took two glasses of wine from the tray the
[Otis]We were here, so I had to behave casually. Camari wanted to be in this place until it was over. She enjoyed every greeting people gave her, their sardonic stares, and even Gloria's blatant mocking of her.It was easy to change the way people viewed someone. They liked Camari before, but the malicious slander in the media made them turn against her even though she was the victim of that triangle relationship.I had nothing else to check about work, so I relaxed by flipping through the news. I was surprised to see Farrell and Bella's wedding blessing making the headlines. I searched around, but no news was about Camari's appearance earlier.I found what I was looking for on social media. I smiled with satisfaction as I read people's comments defending Farrell's suspicious behavior. They must be Thompson or Haworth's goons. They would be working overtime to quell the rumors: Farrell still loved Camari.'Not many people know this. Farrell loves blue. Even a dog wearing blue would fa
My heart was beating rapidly, and my body was trembling, imagining having to go through a crowd of reporters to leave the hotel. I took a deep breath and counted to ten to ease my panic.I didn't know what had happened to Jasper and Nicole, but I was worried. I wasn't just afraid of my fate, but also of their safety. I didn't have another confidant if I lost Jasper.“What? You're in this hotel?" Camari turned to me. “Oh, Jasmine. O-otis and I are on the fire escape near the ground floor elevator. W-we don't know what to do.”The door suddenly opened. Jasmine stood there and looked at us in turn. I couldn't believe my vision. What was she doing in this place?She put her index finger in front of her lips, then waved for me and Camari to follow her. I was surprised to see a sturdy and tall man beside her. The man walked first, and Jasmine followed him.Camari turned to me and approached me when I was only standing. She took my hand for me to follow them. The two led us to another corrido
[Camari]I couldn't believe Bella would go that low. She invited me over just to set me up. I didn't listen to what the people closest to me said twice and experienced awful things twice. I was such a fool.Mom and Dad won't care about watching the news about me. They know we're married. They must be laughing right now. But I was worried about Grandpa's response. Otis and I were looking forward to telling him about our marriage.Therefore, I was afraid to check my missed call list and cell phone inbox. The only thing I dared to open was the news to find out what happened. I didn't expect the incident to have gone viral in the media.Thankfully, I had friends who cared about me. Jasmine, Brad, Russell, and Emily were on hand to help Otis and me out of the hotel. Reporters swarmed not only the hotel but also the apartment and office. Ridiculous.I was nobody since my divorce from Farrell. The media had only shown the news about me as it was, unlike the news about Farrell and Bella, which
[Otis]My whole body trembled with anger. My heart was beating so fast, deafening my ears. I tried to control myself at Brad's club and in the car. I couldn't even reply to Camari when she walked to our bedroom.Nicole accompanied Camari. So, I could talk alone with Jasper in my study. I couldn't believe he was that careless. He wasn't someone guarding me for a year or two. He had been my bodyguard for ten years.I took a deep breath as I stood by the sofa, then sat down after exhaling. I mustn't shout and let my emotions get the better of me. The discussion topic was a big problem that needed to be solved with a cool head.“I'm sorry, sir,” Jasper said for the umpteenth time. He stood beside me as he bowed his head deeply."Are you doing this to avoid punishment?" I asked without emotion."Avoid punishment?" he asked in confusion. Then, he gasped. "Are you saying that Nicole and I lied? Sir, Nicole and I didn't expect someone spiked our drinks or food. You know I have never shirked my
Father loved Arnold and Dorothy very much. They were golden children who never did anything wrong. If anyone complained, the one who reported them would be punished. That was how much he loved them.Therefore, people stopped complaining. They didn't want to get into trouble with Angus Haworth. That made Arnold and Dorothy do as they pleased, not caring if they harmed others.Father loved Dorothy too much to hurt her, let alone make her cry. Never in my wildest dreams would I have watched Father put his hands on Dorothy's body.Yet that's what happened in front of me and everyone else in the room. Father slapped Dorothy. Not just us, his daughter looked at him in disbelief. Dorothy's eyes glazed over, making me almost moved by it."I raised you and Arnold to be honorable people. You can't get that just by relying on your status as Haworth. Your actions and the words that come out of your mouth must be consistent with the honor of that name."I turn a blind eye all this time to your sham
