The following day.The weather was great that day.Early in the morning, the whole family busied themselves with tasks. They meticulously went through everything to ensure it was perfect, including their breakfast.Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Moore, the woman of the moment, continued to play chess with Sebastian.Tamara tagged along. She saw how spirited and radiant Old Mrs. Moore was. It was clear she looked happier than yesterday."Grandma, you look especially good today," praised Tamara.Old Mrs. Moore glanced at her. "Oh, stop it, you. Did you think I don't know what you did?"Tamara was taken aback. Guilt washed over her, but she still tentatively asked, "So, Grandma, what did you dream about?"Old Mrs. Moore's smile grew wider. "I must say, Tammy, you're truly amazing. You've actually developed such unique scented tea leaves. If you were to sell them, you would surely go down in history."Tamara shook her head. "I didn't create this to make money out of it."Old Mrs. Moore aske
The evening breeze was chilly. Camilla stood in her house. Her face paled at the mess in front of her."Camie, did a robber break into your house? What's with the mess?" asked her neighbor.Camilla forced a smile. "It's nothing. They didn't steal anything.""You should change your door lock. Look at how ransacked your place is. Go clean it up. I made soup. Come over and have some later." The neighbor smiled gently at Camilla."Thank you," thanked Camilla earnestly.The neighbor left to buy groceries.Camilla stood at the doorway. She took a deep breath and finally stepped inside. The room was in complete disarray, and the entire floor was littered with her belongings.Camilla took out her phone and dialed a number.After a few rings, the call connected."Camie, do you need something?" a woman's voice came through the phone. Laughter and the faint sound of card shuffling could be heard in the background.Camilla closed her eyes and spoke in an icy tone, "What did you take from
"You better leave, Josephine. How are we supposed to continue with your daughter around?" "Yeah, hurry up and go.""By the way, you have to pay for the table. We're not going to cover the damage for you."The people around them remarked coldly.Josephine pointed an accusing finger at Camilla and cursed, "You bitch! I shouldn't have given birth to you! Why don't you just die? The world would be better off without you!"Camilla looked at her coldly, then turned around and left the casino.Josephine's curses continued as she followed Camilla outside. The other customers frowned upon witnessing the scene.They were initially impressed by Camilla's beauty. However, their expressions turned disdainful when they saw Josephine still cussing behind her. The onlookers couldn't help but judge, questioning the significance of beauty when it seemed to come from a troubled and dysfunctional family background. "That's enough!" Camilla abruptly turned around. Her beautiful eyes were ice cold
"Thank you, Kylie." Camilla thanked her appreciatively.Kylie giggled and replied, "There's no need for that. We're friends, after all."Camilla smiled. "I'll treat you to some ice cream tomorrow.""I'll remember that!" cheered Kylie.They ended the call.Camilla stood up once again, her gaze sweeping across the tidy room. A faint smile graced her face as she realized that she wasn't alone anymore. It was a comforting thought that she had someone like Kylie by her side. ...The next day, inside the research institute.The people in the lab were all dressed in white lab coats. Camilla walked in with a mask on. She scanned the lobby coldly. When she didn't see the familiar figure, she let out a small sigh of relief."Camilla," a deep and gentle voice sounded behind her.Camilla's body stiffened, and she turned around to look at Jayden. "Mr. Moore."Jayden wore his usual glasses, and his coat was draped over his arm. Noticing that Camilla was wearing a mask, he furrowed his br
Camilla began working at her desk after leaving the changing room."Camilla, I bought too much breakfast. Have you already eaten? Would you like to have some?" A familiar voice called out. It was Scott. He was Camilla's classmate, but he joined the research institute later than her.Camilla politely declined, "I've already eaten, thank you."A hint of disappointment flickered across Scott's eyes at the rejection. "No problem. Call me if you need anything.""Okay," Camilla mumbled faintly.Camilla was never good at socializing. She only became friends with Kylie because they both liked sweets.Scott returned to his own workstation after that brief exchange. A certain individual observed their interaction closely. Adjusting his glasses, he beckoned, "Come here for a moment, Camilla."Upon hearing that voice, Camilla's body stiffened. She slowly got up and walked over.Her colleagues observed them. "Mr. Moore really values Camilla, huh?""Camilla is good at her studies. Of cour
Jayden chuckled lightly. "Camilla, why are you saying this all of a sudden? You like me. Isn't it good that I'm giving you this opportunity?"Camilla paled. But since she was wearing a mask, Jayden couldn't see the change in her expression. "I want my love to be reciprocated. Do you think you can do that?"Jayden was embracing Camilla from behind, so they couldn't see what expression the other was making.Camilla's body tensed as she waited for a response, but Jayden chose to remain silent throughout. She couldn't help but laugh to herself, realizing the futility of her expectations. To Jayden, she was merely a plaything, subject to his whims. He would toy with her when he felt like it and discard her when boredom set in. Camilla bit her lip, forcing herself to snap out of it. She redirected her attention to the task at hand, saying, "I have thoroughly observed the cells. I will now go and write down the data."With that, she broke free from Jayden's grasp and walked toward the d
The girls exchanged glances. They could all see the anger in each other's eyes."I never knew she was that kind of person.""I always thought it was just her personality, but she was faking it this entire time!""She actually seduced Mr. Moore? That's just despicable!"A proud look flashed across Kara's eyes. "I plan to teach her a lesson and put her in her place. Mr. Moore is the Moore family's second son. She can't hold a candle to him!"The other girls immediately gathered around her. "Tell us, what's your plan?"Kara leaned closer and whispered.… After finishing her meal, Camilla's mood improved, and she could finally focus on her work. Jayden had left at noon. With him gone, the atmosphere in the research institute didn't seem as tense as before.The evening arrived, and the golden rays of the setting sun spilled into the research institute. Camilla's colleagues had started packing up, preparing to leave.Camilla also shut down her computer and took out her phone. Sh
The girl's legs gave out, and she slumped to the ground in sheer terror. She gazed weakly at Camilla's retreating figure, her thoughts echoing, "Camilla is truly terrifying!"Kara glared fiercely at the girl and secretly cursed her for being worthless.Scott rushed towards Camilla. His face was still flushed when he said, "I knew you wouldn't do such a thing."Camilla paused and turned to Scott coldly. "You're wrong. I AM exactly that kind of person. I will get my revenge on all who wrong me."Scott was taken aback.However, Camilla had no intention of chatting with Scott. She had to meet up with Kylie.Before this, someone had donated five hundred thousand dollars for Nathan's surgery. However, a significant amount of money was still required for his recovery process. Determined to ensure Nathan's successful recovery, Camilla had to work hard to earn the necessary funds. After leaving the research institute, Camilla dialed Kylie's number."Camie, are you finished with work?"
