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,
"Goodbye, Master!" Tamara bid farewell to George and left with Camilla.…Most shops were preparing to welcome the lunch crowd, so the two quickly ordered a light meal. Inside the restaurant, Tamara drank her milk and blinked at Camilla. "I have a question. But it might be a bit presumptuous." "Go ahead." Camilla calmly ate her food and glanced at Tamara.After a moment of contemplation, Tamara asked, "Has your mother been causing you any trouble recently?"Camilla paused for a moment before shaking her head. "No.""Oh, alright then." A strange glimmer flashed across Tamara's eyes. But she didn't pursue the topic further.Camilla observed her. "Why did you suddenly ask about her?""Please don't get angry. But to be completely honest, I feel like she doesn't act like a mother. The way she looks at you is cold and devoid of warmth, just like my father." Whenever Tamara thought of Jacob, his cold and emotionless gaze always came to her mind.Since she was young, Jacob never li
Camilla heard Kara's loudmouth before she saw her. She wanted to ignore Kara at first, but the more Kara spoke, the more worked up she became. Camilla finally had enough and decided to retaliate. Wasn't there a saying? Actions spoke louder than words, and Kara deserved it. However, she hadn't learned her lesson at all. Despite suffering so many losses at Camilla's hands, she still dared pick a fight with her. Kara glared fiercely at her. "Camilla, don't act all high and mighty just because you slept with Jayden Moore! He sees you as nothing more than a plaything. His family looks down on you. Once he gets tired of you, he'll kick you out!""At least I'm with him now. What about you?" Camilla coldly glanced at her, her subtle mockery hitting the mark.Kara felt a burning pain on her face and a raging anger in her heart. "Haha ... so what if you're with him? It doesn't seem like he gave you money. He doesn't value you at all. Even prostitutes earn money by sleeping around. But you?
Jayden gave Tamara a helpless look. "Isn't it a good thing to want to get close to nature and understand it better?" Tamara pouted and shook her head. "I'm returning your beloved to you. Also, I'll be taking my kids with me tonight." "Alright." Jayden nodded. Camilla was already sitting on the couch, a hint of tiredness appearing on her face. Jayden held her hand. "Are you tired from shopping?"Camilla nodded. "Yes." She had never shopped this long before. They had been going from shop to shop all day. "Then you shouldn't do it again. I'll have your clothes sent here instead," Jayden said gently.Camilla's cheeks reddened. "That's not necessary. I have plenty of clothes.""They are gifts from me, don't refuse them. Otherwise, it would make me seem like a mere decoration of a boyfriend," Jayden said softly."Okay." Camilla couldn't resist his deep and gentle voice. Her knees would go weak, and she could be reduced to nothing but a puddle just from his voice alone. "Hey, yo
"How could this be?" Tamara gasped. "Master, is this strange illness real?" George cocked an eyebrow. "That was my exact reaction when I met the first patient."It took a while for Tamara to ease down her shock. "What should we do now?"George shrugged. "We can only go with the flow.""But ..." Tamara was worried.George gave her a faint smile. "There's nothing we can do but let things unfold naturally."Tamara sighed helplessly, feeling at a loss. She looked at the record again. This was the most powerless she ever felt. The image of Camilla's cold and indifferent face emerged in Tamara's mind, and she couldn't help but furrow her brow. "I have to tell Jayden about this ...""Do you think he's clueless about this?" George unexpectedly asked.His words surprised Tamara."How could he have known ..." Tamara instinctively refuted. But she suddenly recalled Jayden's job. He was obsessed when it came to anything biology and would often indulge himself in his research. Although th
