Chapter 582 I Can Replace You

Author: Cora Smith
last update Last Updated: 2023-12-28 16:30:00
Christina stood up from her seat, saying, "Atticus, way back then, you were no more than an unwanted orphan. I had the power to raise you, but I also have the power to... replace you."

From the moment she first saw Atticus, she had liked him. Over the years, she had never thought that one day she would say such cold-hearted words to him.

She didn't expect it, and Atticus certainly didn't either. He looked at Christina, who now seemed completely cold and distant. After giving him a condescending glance, she turned and walked away.

Seeing Lucian and Calista sitting at the table behind her, Christina's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

She had originally thought about exchanging pleasantries and getting closer to this bigwig, but now she didn't have the mood for it. She only nodded as a form of greeting.

After Christina left, Atticus lost his appetite and settled the bill before leaving as well.

Calista, thinking about Hector's relationship with Christina, inquired, "Was that M

    Realizing what she was saying, Yara suddenly fell silent. After a few seconds, she spoke in an irritated tone."Why are you calling?"Timothy replied, "Let's have dinner together tonight.""Dinner? Let me check my schedule first, and I'll slot it in...""Forget it, if we have to wait in line, I might as well make plans with Jamie. He mentioned a few days ago that he wanted to have a chat..."As soon as he mentioned her brother, Yara's stern demeanor vanished. She couldn't understand why she had to deal with her troublesome brother.It felt like she had committed some grave sin in her previous life to be stuck with her brother Jamie, who was as troubling as his mother. She interrupted Timothy."What are you talking about? Waiting in line is for other people. You're my boyfriend; naturally, you'll get special treatment. We're going out for dinner tonight. What kind of cuisine do you prefer?"She was seething with anger but managed to maintain a flattering tone. Her ability to swi

    Calista waited for a moment but didn't hear Lucian say anything. Just as she was about to ask, he leaned in closer, his lips brushing against her face, and his voice, deep and husky, sounded near her ear."Pamper me."What did he say?"If you're going to give a gift to Paul, I'll be unhappy, so you need to pamper me."She was dumbfounded. This man was becoming increasingly childish. He could get upset over something like this. Calista tiptoed and quickly gave him a peck on the lips. "Is this okay?"Lucian pursed his lips and said dissatisfied, "Who pampers someone like this? Let me show you how it's done properly. This is what pampering is."He held her face in his hands and leaned in for a kiss, no longer the light and quick peck that Calista had given him earlier. This was a deep, passionate kiss, filled with burning desire.Under the warm yellowish light, his gaze was hazy, and his sexy Adam's apple moved up and down. Lucian pressed Calista down onto the couch, kissing her

    Paul's birthday banquet was held at another hotel. That was not his original plan. He just wanted to invite a few close friends to gather at home. However, Agnes disagreed.Normally, she would organize business banquets now and then, inviting some prominent figures to strengthen their relationships. Now, with such a good reason, she couldn't pass up the opportunity.Paul understood that she was doing this for the Baker family, so he went along with it. However, Agnes didn't tell him that she had invited not only various influential figures but also their daughters.Seeing a large group of young women dressed up and attending the event, he couldn't help but frown and shook his head with a wry smile.This was supposed to be a birthday celebration, but it looked more like a blind date event.Agnes was afraid he would resist, so she explained, "I know that people of your generation prefer to make their own choices and don't like parents interfering in marriage matters. I'm not forcing

    Lucian had only intended to tease him a little. It was entirely Paul's business whether or not he was going on a blind date. But, it was clear that he hadn't yet given up on Calista.So, he changed his mind. He would not know peace until Paul chose to settle down. It was as if someone was watching him with a gardening hoe in hand and was waiting for the right moment to trespass into his territory and start digging.Paul stood on the sidelines as Lucian and Agnes chimed in in unison to set things up for him. Lucian was a real bastard. Agnes clutched onto the brochure as if it were a precious treasure."I'll be looking into it. Thank you, Lucian. I'll come with a gift when you and Calista get married."The words were meant for Paul's ears. They didn't need him to dwell on it and not move on.Once Agnes had left, Paul asked Lucian sarcastically, "Is the Northwood Corporation switching things up and becoming a matchmaking agency?"He had arranged a blind date for him and prepared a

    Calista noticed the uncontrollable joy on Lucian's face and teased him."Did I have it wrong? We aren't married yet. So, you're just my boyfriend now …" "You're right," Lucian immediately cut her off."You've agreed to my proposal. We're engaged now."He stroked the ring around her finger."You're not allowed to back out of it."Calista had only wanted to tease him. But, with Lucian giving her such earnest looks, she collected herself and refrained from teasing him any further. She avoided his gaze and responded with a soft hum.People kept approaching Lucian to offer him a toast. Calista was his ex-wife. Yet, the two of them appeared hand in hand in such a high-profile manner. It seemed that good things were about to happen. That was why they attracted a lot of attention. Having worked all day, all she wanted now was to be left alone to eat in peace. But everyone who came to toast him would inevitably snub her. Calista wasn't a fan of socializing, much less dealing with di

    With the money in hand, Lucian felt like he was holding a hot potato. He couldn't wait to rid himself of it. "It's no trouble at all.""I did borrow money from you. Of course, I would return it to you," Calista said."It's not a loan. It's a gift. You married me. It was always yours.""I don't need the money right now. You can keep it."There was no way Lucian would yield. Their marriage was on the horizon. What if Calista recalled his use of the three million dollars to threaten her and keep her trapped in the marriage? He would be the one losing out."Just convert it into company shares. Keeping it in the bank would be no different from me lending it to someone else. If I encounter another 'intern on probation', I might end up with nothing and owe money to the bank.""Okay. I'll have Mr. Prescott bring you a contract tomorrow."After Paul left, he approached Cade with a glass of wine in hand."You're here late.""Something came up."He arrived just in time to see Lucian

    Lucian looked up in the direction of the voice. It was Cailyn. She had just walked out. She was wearing a long down coat with fuzzy earmuffs and gloves. The man lowered his hand and shook his head."No thanks."Cailyn noticed the cigarette in his hand that had yet to burn out and put on a stern demeanor."The doctor said you should quit smoking and drinking given your current condition.""Sure," Lucian responded coldly to the woman's admonition.Cailyn wanted to say more. Just as she did, the man who had been as cold as ice looked in a certain direction. His tense features softened. He left after politely excusing himself.Lucian went up to Calista, snaked his arm around her waist, and gathered her into his embrace."What are you doing out here?""I came out here to look for you. You were gone for a while. I thought you fell into the toilet," Calista joked before taking a sidelong glance at Cailyn. But, the latter had already turned the other way.

    Calista had barely set foot into the snack shop when she caught sight of Yara. She was sitting by a window. She had likely gotten bored of waiting and was drawing a pig on the table by dipping into her tea."Are you drawing … Mr. Howard?"Yara had been startled. She nearly knocked over her cup of tea."You nearly scared me to death. It's a brand new year. Why do you have to mention him of all people?"She looked around while speaking and heaved a long sigh of relief. Timothy was nowhere to be found. She leaned back languidly against her seat."Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Have you heard of that saying? Never mention that name in my presence again. You'll be summoning him without fail."Calista took notice of Yara's aversion to Timothy's name and frowned."Has he been tormenting you?"Yara shook her head."No. I had a meal with him when I picked up the dog last time. I haven't seen him since.""Do you hate him?" Calista asked.If that were the case, she could kee

    With Cade covering Cameron's mouth, there was no chance for her pointed words to offend anyone in the room. His palm was cool to the touch. It was a sensation she disliked. So, she couldn't help but tilt her head.When Cade noticed her movements, he gently stroked her cheek as if he were calming a child who was throwing a tantrum.Victor spent years in a position of authority, giving him an air of unspoken authority. His gaze hardened, and his lips pressed into a firm line as he watched Cade. "Cade, don't jeopardize the long-standing relationship between our families over a woman.""If that's how you see it." Cade glanced at the door. "Aren't you doing the same for a woman?"Victor snorted contemptuously. "How can a cheap girl who was merely adopted be worth anything compared to Mirabelle?""How is my daughter, a Yorksworth, worth any less than yours?" Blaire stood at the doorway as she took in the occupants of the home with her sharp gaze. She had been feeling restless ever sin

    Mirabelle frowned. "Excuse me?"As soon as she finished speaking, Cameron walked up to her, grabbed her by her hair, and forcefully bent her over.Cameron held up the guest list Monica had sent her and shoved it in Mirabelle's face. "Call them. Tell them to be there by 3:00 p.m., or else…"She tightened her grip threateningly. "You can kiss this head of hair goodbye."Mirabelle pressed down on her scalp where it had been pulled, her voice distorted with pain when she spoke."Let go, Cameron! Are you out of your mind?""Didn't I tell you not to involve anyone else in our feud?""Can't take it anymore?"Mirabelle endured the pain of turning her head to flash a disdainful sneer at Cameron."This is just the appetizer. If you go against me, you'll eventually crawl out of Capeton with your tail between your legs. I'll call your business partner right now and pin the catastrophic failure of this event on you…"Seeing Mirabelle's condescending expression brought Cameron back to the

    The kiss lifted the dark cloud that hung over Cade's mood over the past few days.The next day, as Fabian brought in documents for him to sign, Cade asked, "When is Cameron's show?"Fabian was taken aback for a split second but quickly replied. Fortunately, he was well-prepared and kept track of Cameron's events for the year in advance."Has the invitation been delivered?"Fabian swallowed, almost wanting to laugh to mock Cade. Given Cade's strained relationship with his wife, Cameron would sooner invite a dog than have him around. However, all Fabian could do was revel in Cade's misery in his mind while keeping a businesslike facade."It was probably already delivered. The front desk brought in a stack of mail yesterday. I haven't sorted it out yet."He had already sorted out the mail this morning. Everything had gone straight to the trash."Clear my schedule for the day. Make reservations at a restaurant for a celebratory dinner.""Yes, sir."On the day of the show, Monica

    That was obviously an excuse to get Cade out of the picture. Knowing what Mirabelle had done to Cameron in the past, leaving the two of them alone was out of the question. Besides, it wasn't convenient for him to move the car, so he refused without a second thought."Get the attendant—"However, Cameron cut him off before he could finish."Ms. Ackerman is a guest. You should fulfill her requests if she has any."Cade cast her a cold glance. "Shut up." Why should he dance to Mirabelle's tune?Cameron stared at him. "Run along."He gritted his teeth as rage crossed his face. After a brief pause, he sneered and turned to leave. As soon as the door shut behind him, Mirabelle's calm expression slipped. "Did you make me come here just to show off how much you two love each other?""You call that love? I think we have different definitions of what 'love' is then. He's nothing more than…" Cameron's fingers lightly traced the cup's rim as she smirked and said, "A lap dog.""You fu

    Cameron crossed her arms over her chest and gave the bouquet in Cade's hands a nonchalant glance."What are you trying to pull, Mr. Carter?""Fabian said it was Women's Day today.""So what?"There was silence all around. The sound of soothing music could be heard through the door. Cade was silent for a while. "We're not getting a divorce, Cameron."It was the same old topic that Cameron had grown too weary of. She turned around and felt for the cigarette box on the table. There was already a layer of cigarette butts in the ashtray next to it. Judging by the color of the lipstick marks, more than half of them were hers.Cade frowned. He clearly disapproved of her smoking but kept himself from stopping her.Smoke curled from between her lips. The flickering embers of the cigarette reflected in her eyes, softening her indifferent gaze. Through the thin haze, Cameron's lips curled into a wide, unrestrained smile. Every time she smiled in this way, it always filled Cade with a

    Cade began unbuckling his belt as he spoke. When it came to this sort of thing, men often had a strong sense of competition, especially in the presence of a woman they were interested in."Such a dark atmosphere isn't right for our situation."Cameron didn't like him to begin. In such a dark atmosphere, there was no telling what kind of grotesque creature she might imagine him to be. It would be strange if she felt attraction for him.She leveled a steady stare at him. Cade's shirt was half undone, showing his tense muscles underneath. Under the influence of alcohol, his skin took on a faint reddish hue. There was a heart-pounding tension in the air as if something was about to ignite. Occasionally, his slightly heavy breaths could be heard."You haven't been working out recently, have you?" Cameron asked.Cade was confused.Cameron pressed her hand against his chest, right below his ribs, and gave it a little push. After a moment, she commented, "Your muscles are a little soft

    Cade tossed his phone onto the table in frustration when he saw who entered. He pressed his hand against his brow."Leave. You should see Diane for a work uniform.""Are you feeling unwell, Mr. Carter?" Rosalia approached the desk with a glass of milk in hand. "I learned how to give massages. Why don't I…" "Get out."Cade abruptly got to his feet and avoided Rosalia's outstretched hand, causing the milk to spill all over him. He glanced down at his now-stained shirt with a dark expression and pressed his lips tightly together. After a long pause, he asked through clenched teeth, "Did my wife ask you to send this up?" Every syllable was pronounced with the gnashing of teeth.Rosalia froze under his piercing gaze."It really was Mrs. Carter who asked me to bring it to you, sir," she stammered."Leave. From now on, you will not enter my study unless you have permission."Rosalia had come to work as a housekeeper to land herself a wealthy husband. She had even bribed the manager

    On the next day, Cameron was discussing the fashion show with Monica when she suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind. "Cammie…" It was Blaire.Although Monica didn't fully know about Cameron's past, she didn't like Blaire at all. What kind of mother wouldn't protect their own child, after all?However, it wasn't appropriate for her to intervene as much even though she was Cameron's close friend. After all, it was Cameron's family matter.Monica stood up with her notebook in hand and said, "Well, I just remembered that there's still a few more invitations to send, so I'll go and take care of that. Let's discuss more about the fashion show later."After saying that, she glanced at Blaire and left without even greeting her.Cameron got up and nodded at Blaire. "Is something the matter?"She thought that her distant attitude last night had made it clear enough that she didn't want any more involvement with the Yorksworth family. She didn't expect that Blaire would come and loo

    Cameron pushed the door open. She looked tired as she laid down her bag. As she changed her shoes, she caught sight of the food on the dining table out of the corner of her eye."Diane, didn't I tell you I wasn't coming back for dinner? Why did you make so much food?"Diane glanced upstairs. "It's for Mr. Carter. He hasn't eaten yet."The moment Cade was mentioned, Cameron dropped the topic. She rubbed her sore shoulder as she headed upstairs. "I see.""Madam…" Diane called out hesitantly, looking troubled. "Mr. Carter asked you to call him down for dinner when you got home.""Me? Call him down for dinner?" Cameron stopped in her tracks and turned around in confusion. "Why?""Mr. Carter seems to be upset. Did you two have another fight?""So If he's in a bad mood, I'm supposed to go upstairs and invite him down to eat? Should I also say 'Your meal is ready, my liege!' while I'm at it?" Cameron scoffed. Her sarcastic smirk quickly faded. "He can eat if he wants. If he doesn't,
