Chapter 67"Dominic, stop pretending."Camilla's voice became firmer as she stepped closer to him."I know you're only trying to act strong."Dominic looked at her, his expression unreadable."You don't have to do this.""Do what?""Keep pretending that you don't want to come back to me."Camilla folded her arms confidently."No one will insult you for coming back to me.""I won't allow anyone to talk down to you again."She paused, as though she were making him a promise he should be grateful for."I'll have your back from now on."Dominic stared at her for a few seconds.Then he suddenly burst into laughter.The sound echoed through the quiet hospital room.Camilla's face reddened."What's so funny?"Dominic covered his mouth briefly, trying to control himself."I'm sorry.""You actually mean this?""Of course I do!"He shook his head, another laugh escaping him."You know what?"He looked at her seriously."Becoming a comedian would probably suit you better."Camilla's eyes widened

Chapter 66"I'm listening."Dominic's voice was calm, but the moment Camilla heard it, her heart began pounding.Her grandfather looked at her before speaking."I heard about the divorce."Dominic didn't answer immediately."Yes, Grandpa.""I suppose you have your reasons.""I do."The old man sighed."I won't ask you to tell me everything over the phone. But I want to ask you one question.""Go ahead.""Do you still love my granddaughter?"The room became so quiet that Camilla could hear the faint beeping of the monitor beside her grandfather's bed.She stared at the phone.Her fingers tightened around the edge of her dress.Dominic remained silent for a long moment.Finally, he said,"I cared about her for a very long time."Camilla's eyes immediately filled with tears.Her grandfather caught the difference in his words."You said cared.""Yes.""Not love."Dominic exhaled slowly."Some feelings don't disappear simply because a marriage ends."The old man's expression softened."I u

Chapter 65Mrs. Bridget didn't waste any time.The following morning, she dressed in her finest suit and left the house before Camilla had even finished breakfast.She had spent the entire night thinking about Dominic, Eleanor, and the mess her daughter had created.She wasn't going to let another woman take what she believed belonged to Camilla.By ten in the morning, she was standing outside Eleanor's office.The receptionist looked up from her computer."Good morning. Do you have an appointment with Miss Eleanor?""No."Mrs. Bridget placed her handbag on the desk."But she'll see me."The receptionist hesitated."May I know your name?""Mrs. Bridget Sterling."The receptionist's expression changed slightly.She picked up the phone and made a call.A few minutes later, she looked up."Miss Eleanor will see you."Mrs. Bridget smiled."Of course she will."She picked up her handbag and walked toward the elevator.Eleanor was standing beside her desk when the door opened.She looked su

Chapter 64Camilla stormed into the house and dropped her handbag onto the sofa. Her chest rose and fell heavily as she paced across the living room, still burning with anger.Is this really how I'm going to lose Dominic?She clenched her fists.Dominic is mine. Mine alone. If I can't have him, then no one else can.She stopped in front of the window, staring blankly outside. Despite her anger, tears slowly gathered in her eyes and began rolling down her cheeks.She quickly wiped them away when she heard footsteps behind her.Mrs. Bridget walked into the living room and immediately noticed her daughter's troubled expression."Camilla?" she called.Camilla didn't answer.Her mother frowned and walked closer."I don't understand why you're still thinking about that man. You should be happy that he's finally out of your life."Camilla turned around, her eyes red from crying."Mother, you don't understand.""What don't I understand?""I've lost a rare gem."Mrs. Bridget stared at her as t

Chapter 63The convoy from Sterling Group arrived at Blackcrest International just before noon.The towering glass building reflected the bright afternoon sun, its entrance already crowded with representatives from dozens of companies waiting to submit their proposals.Camilla stepped out of the car, holding the locked briefcase herself.Lily walked beside her while Ethan and the legal team followed closely behind."This feels more like an exam than a business proposal," Lily muttered with a nervous laugh.Camilla smiled. "In a way, it is."As they entered the lobby, they immediately noticed Hayes Group's delegation.Sebastian was already there.Dressed in a tailored black suit, he stood chatting with several executives as if he had not a care in the world.The moment he spotted Camilla, a smug smile crept across his face."What a coincidence."Camilla stopped a few feet away."I don't believe in coincidences when it comes to you."Sebastian laughed."Still as sharp as ever."His eyes

Chapter 62The conference room at Sterling Group remained brightly lit long after sunset.Coffee cups had piled up on the table. Empty food containers sat in one corner, forgotten as everyone focused on the mountain of documents spread before them.No one had gone home.Camilla stood in front of the projector, sleeves rolled up to her elbows, a marker in one hand."The market growth forecast."She circled a figure on the screen."This is where we lost credibility."The finance director adjusted his glasses."President Camilla, we've used the same projection model for the last three years.""That's exactly the problem."Everyone looked at her."We've been relying on what worked yesterday instead of preparing for tomorrow."The room fell silent.Camilla picked up the report Blackcrest International had sent back.She couldn't help admiring whoever had reviewed it.Every weakness they pointed out was real."If we submit this version," she said, placing the file on the table, "we'll lose.
