Camilla looked at Scott, who sat down across the table. An odd feeling flitted through her heart, but her countenance remained largely the same—cold and reserved. She replied calmly, "Indeed, what a coincidence." With a bashful smile, Scott said, "I never thought I'd bump into you here. What are you doing here alone? Have you had dinner?" "I'm not alone," Camilla replied as she nodded her head in Kylie's direction. "My friend's over there." Scott followed her gaze and his eyes flashed when he saw the trio sitting at a nearby table. Then, he turned back and said, "Oh, I thought you were alone. Since you're hanging out with your friend, I'll just excuse myself." "Alright." Camilla's gaze had been cold and distant since the beginning. A trace of disappointment flashed in Scott's eyes, but he quickly got up and left. As she watched him leave, her eyes flashed with uncertainty. However, she quickly suppressed the doubt in her heart and turned back toward Kylie's table. The sight
For now, Camilla's schedule was so packed with activities that there was barely any downtime between her tasks. Her fitness class lasted one and a half hours, and it was around 10 pm when it ended.As she emerged from the studio, Camilla looked up at the night sky and let out a tired sigh. Just then, her phone started ringing. When she pulled it out, she realized Jayden was calling. In an instant, her tired body was enveloped in a blanket of warmth. She answered the call with a relatively cheerful and bubbly tone. "Hello, Jayden." "Hey, where did you go?" His deep voice was like music to her ears. "I got bored, so I came out for a walk. Are you done with work?" Camilla asked, deliberately hiding the fact that she was attending classes. She wanted to achieve a complete makeover and surprise Jayden. "Yeah. You weren't at home when I came back. I missed you." Thus began Jayden's barrage of affection.Camilla blushed slightly at those words. She noticed the last bus approaching a
"You bitch! I'll fucking kill you!" The man was not expecting Camilla to fight back. He dug the knife deeper into her skin. If he wanted to, he could slice Camilla's throat and let her bleed out right there and then. Camilla could not see the man's face clearly. But she sure as hell could smell the disgusting stench wafting off of him. "If you let me go now, the police will only lock you up for a few days at most. But if you decide to take me as a hostage, things will not end well for you." The man spat, "Shut the fuck up and open the damn door now! Or I'll make sure to slice that pretty neck of yours!" He turned to roar at the driver, "Open the door!"The driver paled at the scene and quickly stopped the bus."Don't do it!" someone yelled. The driver froze. The man was taken aback as well. He gritted his teeth and decided to see through his threat. Just then, a hand suddenly grabbed the man's arm and twisted it. With a sickening crack, the man's arm was broken. He immediately
Ronan and Noah exchanged looks. They didn't expect an outright rejection from Camilla. When Ronan saw how similar Camilla looked to his aunt, Jenna, he attempted to request Camilla's help again. "Ms. Camilla …""It's late, so I'll be going home. Thanks for today," Camilla cut him off and left.Ronan was lost for words, while Noah sighed and said, "I have to say, her personality is similar to Aunt Jenna."Ronan frowned and asked, "Why do I feel like she's in denial?"Noah said, "It's the same for everyone. Would you be happy if someone suddenly told you your father isn't actually your father?"Ronan was rendered speechless by Noah's reply. He looked at Camilla, who was already walking away, and said with a frown, "This won't do. I can't give up. I must investigate her background. If she really is Aunt Jenna's daughter, Aunt Jenna will be cured of her long-standing anxiety." "Yes, let's investigate her together."…It was already 1 am when Camilla returned to the Moore Manor.
A man was lying motionless inside the pit. His face was pale, and he was no longer breathing. The man was the one who harassed Camilla on the bus last night, and he was dead.Camilla's face went pale, and she subconsciously took a step backward.Jayden approached Camilla and wrapped his arms around her waist. Looking at her pale face, he murmured gently, "Why didn't you tell me about what happened last night?" Camilla was startled, and she looked at Jayden. "I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you." However, he still found out and punished the other man by killing him. Jayden frowned. "Are you upset that I found out about this?""No." Camilla shook her head.Jayden hugged her and said gently, "I won't forgive anyone who has hurt you, Camilla. I will protect you."Camilla was touched and looked at Jayden. Under the morning sun, his handsome face exuded warmth and charm. However, the way he dealt with things was so cruel, unlike anything she had ever witnessed. It
"Fine." Scott chuckled wryly because he knew Camilla did not want to say more and tried to change the subject. "Camilla, did you just get off work? Why don't we have dinner together?" Camilla shook her head and said, "No, thanks. I still have things to do. Let's do that another day."Scott was disappointed. "Alright, let's have a meal when you are free."Camilla acknowledged what he said and walked toward the bus stop without noticing his disappointment. Scott watched her retreating figure with narrowed eyes and murmured, "What is she going to do in the future if such little stimulation can shake her up so much?" …When Camilla returned after her studies, she saw Jayden sitting on the couch in the living room. It seemed like he was having a chat with the three children. It piqued her interest. She looked at them and asked, "What are you talking about?""Ms. Camilla, I made a present for you!" Melanie was so happy to see Camilla. She ran toward Camilla with a smile on her face
After taking a few-minute break, Camilla went to teach the triplets. It was already 8 pm when the lesson ended. Jayden was still working in his brightly-lit study. Whenever he was busy, he would keep himself holed up in the research institute, but he has been coming home every night recently because of Camilla. Camilla looked at the time and decided not to find Jayden since she still had lessons to attend later. She went downstairs and ate something hurriedly before leaving. "Ms. Camilla, are you still going out so late at night?" Ms. Thompson asked worriedly when she saw Camilla leaving. "Yes. I still have something to do," Camilla said and left. Ms. Thompson sighed and wondered why Camilla would be busier than Jayden....Camilla always had to make time for a break. Since Charlotte gave her the weekend off, she wanted to spend one of the days studying. However, her phone rang as soon as she woke up. It was Tamara. "Tamara." Camilla was a little confused as she answered
"Maybe a little." Tamara didn't hide her feelings. "After all, you know how Jayden used to be. But seeing how much he spoils you these days, I always felt like there's something behind it." Camilla couldn't help but laugh. "When he confessed to me, he said he wanted to marry me immediately."Tamara widened her eyes in astonishment at the news. "I knew it! He definitely has ulterior motives. He's so eager to marry you—he must be in a hurry to have children with you!"Camilla blushed at her words. "Alright, let's stop. We've arrived," she quickly reminded Tamara.Tamara shifted her gaze and noticed a door slightly ajar, obviously left for her. She cleared her throat and entered the room with Camilla. "Master, I'm here!" "I could hear your voice as soon as you got out of the lift." George came out of the room and smiled at her.Tamara smiled brightly. "Master, this is my future sister-in-law, Camilla West." She turned to Camilla. "And this is my master, George Checkers." "Hello,
