Kylie hesitated. "Camilla, you don't have to hide it from me. I already know about your situation."Camilla remained silent. Kylie sighed. "I told you Jayden is crazy, but you didn't believe me. Do you see it now? He's willing to sacrifice you for his own sake. And now, he has you trapped, and you can't escape."The smile on Camilla's face gradually faded away. She remained silent for a few seconds before speaking again, "Kylie, please don't worry about me. I don't want to involve any of you. The Moore family is powerful. Ordinary people can't compete against them.""But ..." Kylie wanted to continue, but in the next second, her phone was snatched away."What is there to be afraid of? Camilla, give me the word, and I'll help you escape. He only got the upper hand because I was careless. But now, he can't hurt me anymore," Simon's voice came from the phone.They were together.Camilla smiled when she realized this. "I don't want to escape. Everything's fine.""Camilla ..." Simo
Camilla didn't react much toward that message from Scott. To her, Scott was someone who paid close attention to the relationship between her and Jayden. He was aware of their every move, sometimes even sabotaging their relationship.What was Scott's role in her relationship with Jayden?Camilla couldn't care less about it.She started reading the recent news. Even though her phone had been confiscated for only two days, she felt disconnected from the world. She had a strong urge to catch up with recent events. Otherwise, she might feel like a bird in a cage.She spent a long time on her phone. She only put down her phone when noon rolled by. "Mrs. Moore, lunch is ready," a maid walked over and informed her respectfully."Okay," Camilla hummed and went to the dining room. She noticed only a simple dish was laid on the table. But Camilla paid no mind to it and ate without complaints.Two maids observed her for a moment before they left the dining room.After lunch, Camill
Camilla's gaze fell on the laptop, where several wedding plans were displayed. She went through each one quickly."You can decide on any of them. I'm fine with anything," Camilla mumbled.Jayden knew Camilla's heart wasn't really on the wedding. He nodded. "Okay, I'll decide. But let's stick to the design you had for the wedding gown."Upon hearing this, Camilla's head snapped up to him. "How did you find out?"Jayden smiled. "I pay a lot of attention to you. I knew you were designing the wedding gown. I also know that you were looking forward to our wedding. So, my dear wife, let me know if you want anything, okay?"Camilla pursed her lips and gave him a complicated look.After a moment, she finally said, "I was very excited before, but now I don't have any ideas."When she was designing the wedding gown before, she wanted her wedding to be different from the rest. But the gown wasn't even completed when the incident happened. Even if she started to design it again, she would
Camilla nodded indifferently. Her job scope meant nothing to her. She was just glad to have something to work on.Jayden stared at her for a moment. "Your work clothes are still in your locker. Change into them and come to the laboratory later."Camilla hummed and sat in the chair, looking at her desk.Jayden went to the changing room to put on his lab coat.Scott approached her and gave her a complicated look. "Camilla, did you and Mr. Moore ... reconcile?"Camilla turned to him calmly. "Scott, how long have we known each other?"Scott was puzzled. "A year and a half."He had been in the research institute for a year and a half, and that was how long he had known Camilla.Camilla nodded. "That's not a short time.""Yeah. You showed me around and helped me get familiar with this place when I first arrived. I was able to stay here all because of you." Scott smiled sheepishly.Camilla maintained an indifferent look. "Then why did you try to manipulate me?"Scott's expression c
Tanya's eyes darkened at Camilla's retreating figure. Her hands hanging by her side clenched into fists.How did things turn out like this? Hadn't Camilla and Jayden already broken up? Why did they reconcile again?Moreover, Jayden even let her come back to work. Didn't that mean all her previous efforts were in vain?Tanya couldn't let this be. She was the only one who deserved to be Jayden's wife! Everyone else could fuck off!Tanya's eyes flickered with madness. After a while, she lowered her gaze....When Jayden returned, he saw Camilla sitting on a chair ordering takeout. "You don't need to order takeout. Lunch is delivered."Camilla quirked an eyebrow at him. "Did you ask the maid to do that?"Jayden nodded.A maid came over with two lunchboxes—one for Jayden and one for Camilla.Camilla put down her phone and opened the lunch box.Jayden sat beside her and had lunch together with her.To outsiders, the two of them looked very affectionate.Camilla had always been r
Camilla's smile was genuine. She felt happy and relaxed when she was with Nathan.Jayden withdrew his gaze. His eyes lowered as bitterness spread through him.Camilla noticed Jayden's emotions but didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, she continued chatting with Nathan.Camilla couldn't deny how excellent the hospital's service was. After just two days of rest, Nathan's health improved significantly. He would be able to get out of bed after a month.Nathan took out his phone and showed the screen to Camilla. "Look, Camilla. I coded this program myself."Camilla was surprised and glanced at it. It was a single-player mobile game. It looked basic. Yet there was a certain charm to it.Camilla asked, "How did you make this when you don't have a computer?""I coded it with my phone," Nathan replied.He smiled proudly. "Camilla, I can still support you even if I don't attend school."Camilla looked at him in astonishment.She never expected that Nathan was a computer geniu
Camilla casually picked up a book from the study room and headed straight to the third floor. She had familiarized herself with the layout of the manor. There was a single room on the third floor. The rest of the space was an observation deck with comfortable swing chairs.She sat on one of the swing chairs and gazed at the starry sky. She let out a long sigh before opening the book to read.Lately, her mind had been a mess, and she kept making mistakes in her work. She never had this problem before. She needed to readjust herself and return to her previous self. At least, she was free despite the chaotic life back then.Camilla quickly immersed herself in the book.When Jayden came up, he saw her sitting on the swing chair, fully absorbed in her book. The soft light cast a warm glow on her, and she looked gentler than usual.Jayden took out his phone and captured her beauty.However, he forgot to turn off the flash. The flash went off, and Camilla immediately looked over i
Jayden watched as Camilla entered the changing room. His eyes darkened when he remembered Scott's confession.After Scott got off work and returned home that night, several men jumped out and dragged him into a dark alley. They began to beat him into a bloody pulp."Who ... Who are you? I never offended you. Why are you doing this to me?" Scott asked in surprise, feeling disoriented from the attack.The group of people ignored him and continued their assault on him until he was left bruised and in pain. They finally stopped when Scott was just an inch away from death.One of them spoke, "Rein in your thoughts. If you don't stop obsessing over her, we'll make sure to make a corpse out of you!"With that, the men left.Scott lay on the ground and gasped for breath. He took out his phone with great difficulty and pressed a certain button. Despite his bruised and swollen face, he managed to smile.Things were proceeding as planned....Camilla read her books every day to improve
