Chapter 96 Mackenzie Is Enraged

“Please come in.”

“Camila, your office was so difficult to replace.”

“Dr. Booker, how did you come here?” Camila stood up to pour a cup of tea for Dewitt.

“I was friends with Mr. Conner. I came over today to see him and also to see you.”

Dewitt took a sip of tea. “Camila, I have had a question I wanted to ask you.”

“What problem, you said?”

Dewitt wanted to ask Camila directly if she was a child adopted from an orphanage, but he felt that asking in such a manner would be impolite.

So he changed the question, “What do your parents do for a living?”

“Why are you suddenly asking about my parents?” Camila laughed.

“I’m just asking casually because I haven’t seen them visit since your grandmother was hospitalized last time.”

“Oh, my parents passed away when I was very young. My father had an accident while working at a construction site. My mother passed away due to complications during the birth of my younger brother.”

“Oh, I see,” Dewitt pondered for a moment. “Did you ever fall into the water when you were a child?”

Camila didn’t understand what Dewitt meant by asking this, and shook her head. “I dreamt of falling into water, why is your question so strange today?”

“It’s nothing, but do you remember me telling you about my ex–girlfriend? She had a twin sister who was kidnapped when they were young.”

“Was I kidnapped?”

“Well, she was probably rescued when she was going through customs, and later she was sent to an orphanage. But unfortunately, the people at the orphanage said that she drowned shortly after arriving there.”

“That is indeed a pity.”

“Yeah,” Dewitt said. Seeing Camila’s lack of response, he thought maybe he was just overthinking it.

He stood up and prepared to leave when Mackenzie knocked on the door and walked in.

“Did I accidentally bump into you in the hallway just now? I’m really sorry, it wasn’t intentional,” Mackenzie apologized to Dewitt.

“Be a little more cautious, don’t just rush up to people when you see them,” Dewitt showed no respect for Mackenzie.

“I really didn’t mean to.”

“Did I say you did it on purpose?” Dewitt pushed Mackenzie and left the office.

Camila also went out.

Mackenzie watched as Camila happily and jokingly escorted Dewitt into the elevator, finally waving goodbye.

There was anger in Mackenzie’s eyes.

Two days later.

Maxwell messaged Camila every day, informing her that he had settled Hudson and sharing his daily life.

But because of what Svetla told her, she developed a grudge against Maxwell, so she became a bit distant towards him.

Last night, Maxwell noticed that Camila was acting strange. After incessant questioning from him, Camila revealed what Svetla had told her.

Maxwell did not hide the fact that Hector was indeed the person he had arranged to be released from the police station, but it was not to protect Svetla, but for another

reason.

However, Camila did not believe at all.

In the morning, Camila had just arrived at the company when she saw Paula waiting for her at the office door.

“Aunt Paúla, how come you’re here?” Camila invited Paula into the office.

“Don’t call me aunt, I can’t bear it,” Paula said disdainfully.

“Mrs. Felton, did you need to speak with me?”

want to talk to you about your relationship with Maxwell. In

theory, your marriage with Maxwell was arranged by the Starling family’s Gideon, and we shouldn’t interfere. However, as Maxwell’s elder, I advise you to have some self–awareness.”

Don’t you even take a look at your own quality. Besides this face of yours, nothing else is up to par. How could Gideon even think of replaceing someone like you, a country bumpkin, for Maxwell?”

“Mrs. Felton, I admit that I come from a humble background. But one’s background is given by their parents, and it’s not something I can choose. Besides this, I feel that there is nothing about me that is unworthy of Maxwell.”

“Huh, it’s really laughable. It seems like you really

underestimate yourself. Are you going crazy trying to climb the social ladder? Let me tell you, I came here today to talk to you voluntarily, it’s me giving you face. If I were to directly approach Mr. Conner, do you believe that I could make you lose your job today?”

“I believed.” Camila had no doubt that Paula could do such a despicable thing.

“Aren’t you afraid?” Paula asked.

“Scared, but is it useful?”

Paula didn’t expect Camila to appear gentle but speak so firmly.

“So you’re ready to confront me to the end?” Paula stood up. “Well, let’s wait and see.”

After Paula left in a huff, Zora called. She said there was a thank–you party at the company in the evening and all the

members of the consulting department needed to attend. It was a great opportunity to connect with old clients and develop new ones.

The appreciation dinner of Conner Consultancy was naturally grand. Especially tonight, with Peter attending, the specifications of this banquet were particularly high.

Camila wore a khaki–colored long dress suit that Maxwell had bought for her before leaving. He said he got it at a discount, for less than 320 dollars.

Camila could see that the price on the tag that Maxwell secretly threw away was over 20 thousand dollars.

But it has to be said that this dress really exuded elegance when worn.

Originally, Camila was a gentle girl, but when she put on this outfit, it highlighted her capable side.

At the thank–you meeting, wealthy people gathered.

Felicity came along with her father, as well as her sister Isabella Foster.

Isabella is one year younger than Felicity, and she appears to be more socially adept than Felicity. Her speech and behavior are more polished than Felicity’s.

At this moment, the Felton family of four made a grand

entrance.

Adam and his wife, followed by Dimon and Svetla.

Svetla wore a golden mermaid–style evening gown today, paired with chestnut–colored big wavy curls. From a distance,

she looked like a mermaid princess from a fairy tale, exuding an ethereal beauty.

Camila also had to admit that Svetla was indeed beautiful. She watched from the corner as Isabella chatted warmly with the Felton siblings.

After a while, the Booker family also arrived.

The Aden couple brought Dewitt along but did not see Yvette.

As soon as Dewitt entered, Isabella saw him. She walked over with a glass of red wine, wanting to greet Dewitt.

But she didn’t expect Dewitt to bypass her and walk straight towards Camila.

“You looked so beautiful today,” Dewitt complimented.

“Thank you,” Camila said apologetically, “It seemed like that girl wanted to say hello to you just now.”

“Really? I only saw you. I didn’t see anyone else greet me.”

Camila blushed awkwardly, while she felt an unfriendly gaze directed towards her.

She turned her head slightly and saw Isabella walking towards her. Accompanying Isabella was Svetla.

“Are you Camila?” Isabella arrogantly looked at Camila.

“I was.”

Isabella raised her hand and splashed a glass of red wine on Camila’s face.

“What are you, a country bumpkin, trying to make it into high. society?”

Camila had a momentary blank in her mind. She didn’t know how she had offended Isabella.

Dewitt quickly took out a tissue to wipe Camila’s face.

“Do not wipe her!” Isabella said angrily.
