Chapter 97 Stay Away From Him
Isabella’s voice was loud, attracting the attention of the guests.
The first one to run over was Felicity.
“What happened?” Felicity also took out tissues to help Camila clean up the wine stains on her clothes.
“I didn’t know either,” Camila also found it inexplicable.
As more and more people surrounded her, Isabella suddenly became teary–eyed. Within three seconds, she managed to squeeze out tears, as if she had been greatly wronged.
“Is it wrong for me to teach Camila a lesson for seducing my fiancé in the past?”
“Alright, stop crying. Why are you getting angry with a country bumpkin?” Svetla instigated from the side, and the two of them acted together.
“Who is your fiancé?” Dewitt exploded as soon as he heard it. “We have only met once, I never agreed to anything with you.”
“Dewitt, don’t be so rude,” Dewitt’s mother, Jane Booker, walked over and patted Isabella’s shoulder. “Isabella, calm down first. I will handle this matter.”
“Thank you, Aunt.” Isabella wiped away her tears and turned her sorrow into a smile.
Jane took Camila and Dewitt to the VIP lounge.

“Dewitt, you go out first, and then come back later.”

Jane was around fifty years old, but she looked like a well- preserved woman in her early forties.
Dewitt was not very willing, but he eventually went out.
Jane called Camila over and carefully scrutinized her. Suddenly, Jane laughed.
“You do resemble her indeed. No wonder Dewitt is so
fascinated by you. But no matter how similar you are, you are not her after all. So, you better stay away from my son, understood?”
“Mrs. Booker, I did not approach your son voluntarily.”
“No?” Jane’s face turned cold as she said, “So you mean my son was pursuing you?”
“I didn’t mean that. I am not like what you think with Dr. Booker. I had a normal friendship with him.”
“Just friends? I wish you were just friends. But he actually resisted the arranged marriage set up by his family for you. How dare you say you are just friends?”
“I don’t know what he thought of me. But I truly had no other thoughts about Dr. Booker.”
Jane was still rational. She didn’t feel like Camila was lying.
“Since that’s the case, then stay away from my son, because your face would make him lose his sanity.”
“I was an employee of Conner Consultancy, and today’s appreciation meeting was mandatory for me to attend as per
15.45%
the company’s request…”
“What I said was not about tonight, but about the future. I hope you can proactively cut off all contact with him. Can you do it?”
Camila had a feeling of being humiliated.
“Mrs. Booker, I have said that Dr. Booker and I were just ordinary friends. You can ask your son to cut off all contact with me, but you have no right to deprive me of my social rights.”
Camila’s confident attitude left Jane momentarily stunned.
“Good job,” Jane said as she stood up, raising her hand and delivering a hard slap across Camila’s face.
“I have seen many people like you in the past, who would do anything to seduce the powerful. I even suspect if your face was surgically altered.”
“Mom, what did you do to Camila?” Dewitt burst in impatiently, pushing the door open.
He immediately noticed Camila’s swollen half face. “Mom, how could you hit someone?”
“What did I do to her?” Jane was very angry. It was the first time her son had spoken to her so loudly.
“Sorry, Camila. Let me take you back,” Dewitt grabbed Camila and left.
“I can walk by myself, no need to bother.” Camila shook off his hand and left the VIP room.

Dewitt was about to chase after, but he was stopped by Jane.
“Don’t have any more contact with her in the future.”
“Why? I liked her, I wanted to pursue her,” Dewitt was also furious.
“No, you must take Isabella now. Her father has already agreed to invest in Glory Gaming. If you refuse at this moment, wouldn’t it be a waste of previous efforts?” Jane said sternly.
“Mom, my marriage is not a transaction. My feelings are not a trade. Are there no other options besides the Foster family?”
“Adam had already blocked all the ways for Glory Gaming. Except for the Foster family, no one was willing to lend a helping hand anymore.”
“But the Felton family, weren’t they the ones you brought in? You said you wanted to immigrate, sell the company, so why has it changed now?” Dewitt never inquired about business matters, and he didn’t understand the intricacies involved.
“We had no idea that Adam could be so cunning. It’s also our own fault for inviting a wolf into our home. Initially, we wanted to sell a portion of our shares and start another company overseas. However, we never expected the Felton family to secretly collude with other shareholders of Glory Gaming, with the intention of completely taking over it. That company was your father’s lifelong effort.”
“That was your business, it had nothing to do with me,” Dewitt said.
“You were a part of the Booker family, how is it not related to
48.64%
you?”
“Did you consult with me when you decided to sell the company? Did you consult with me when you decided to collaborate with the Felton family? Now you’ve been deceived and I’m paying the price with my marriage. I don’t agree!” Dewitt said, slamming the door and leaving.
Camila left alone, and when she was leaving, she happened to see Peter and Zora coming.
But a few people didn’t meet. Camila sent a message to Zora and told her the news.
When she got back home, Camila received another transatlantic video call from Maxwell.
“Did you sleep?” Maxwell, dressed in a suit, sat in the conference room. He must have called Camila before the
meeting.
“No.”
“What happened to your face?” Maxwell noticed something was wrong. Her eyes looked like she had been crying, and her face appeared to have been hit by someone.
“Not much, if there’s nothing important, let’s hang up.” Camila felt like she couldn’t hold back her tears anymore, if she asked again, she would start crying.
“You should rest early, remember to have a glass of milk before bed. I bought a lot and put them in the refrigerator before I left.”
“I saw it.”

“Take a sip when it’s hot, it’s not good to drink it cold.”
“I knew that you were talkative.”
“I was not here, you had to take good care of yourself.”
“Okay.”
“No matter what happens, wait for me to come back.”

She hung up the phone, and the executives of the research and development company started to walk in one by one. Everyone could feel the low pressure in the room.
Looking at boss Kevin’s face again, it was so cold that it could freeze a person to death.
So everyone trembled with fear and dared not speak much.
After half an hour of agony, Maxwell announced the adjournment.
Maxwell picked up the phone and called Pawel, asking him to investigate where Camila went tonight and who she met.

Dewitt left as soon as he came out of the VIP room.
He thought for half the night, and in the end, he felt that he should tell Peter about Camila’s matter.
So he called Peter in the middle of the night.
“Who did you say looks a lot like Daniela?” Peter was also surprised and quickly sat up from the bed.
“Camila from your company, she looked just like a twin sister with Daniela. Not only did they look alike, but they also
resembled each other.”
