The people at the end of the phone call went silent for a moment before a howling voice sounded.
"Oh huhu... Our baby girl is mad at us. She won't call us her family anymore, so heartbroken. We really should tie Noah up and beat him up to death."
The owling was so loud that not only Cameron twitched her lips but also Noah and the secretary twitched the corner of their eyes as they listened to these childish words.
It gets even worse than that when the grandpa, who was so majestic earlier, also sobbed as he acted childishly towards Cameron.
"Cameron, our dear granddaughter, don't be angry at us. Be angry only to that fool idiotic grandson of mine. No, he will not be my grandson anymore. I will abandon him and remove him from our family genealogy! How's does it sound if we adopt you to our family? Don't worry about compensation or anything our dear granddaughter, you will inherit the mansion that is intended for Noah and the 20% share of the Everest Company, you will be the princess that our family hold in their palm, how's that sound?" the people at the other side of the phone, the little brothers, the uncles, the little cousins and every in laws that is present at the other side of the phone all echoed their agreement to what the patriarch had said.
20%. Even if she gone broke for a while, the dividends of the 20% share coming from the Everest Company will let her live her life to the fullest even after the divorce was processed and done.
But Cameron, Noah, and the secretary, coupled with Aubrey, who had wide eyes, were silent after hearing the words of the patriarch of the Everest family. The words seemed to be so awkward for some ordinary people to hear.
The world of rich people really is full of wonder.
The secretary was silent.
"...."Noah was also silent for a moment after hearing what his grandpa said, but then he reacted after hearing that the shares would be given to Cameron, the woman who will soon be an outsider in their family.
He could give a lot of billions to this woman as a one-time payment in compensation, but never the shares that only true families should possess.
"Grandpa, you're too old already. Why are you giving shares to an outsider?" Noah coldly said, his normal voice when talking to his grandpa already lost.
He should, by all means, protect the shares from the Everest company, they should not fall into any hands other than the people who were carrying the Everest surname.
But the patriarch seemed to not think about what Noah said, even humphing at the tone that was used by this ungrateful bastard towards him.
"Whether I give a share to Cameron or not is not up to you. The Everest company is not yours but mine, young man. It seemed you are already too old for you to even forget such a crucial thing! You can't be saved anymore, you are turned into a confused fool by that scheming bitch so I am depriving you your rights of having to inherit anything from the main house, including the Everest Company, let your cousins handle it, they will do better than you. You will also be remove from the family genealogy of Everest family, so you really can't meddle with our affairs anymore from now on and in the future. And oh, if you planned on wanting to change your surname, feel free to tell us. We will celebrate for it" the patriarch harrumphed as he once again scolded Noah severely and said some harsh words that people with weak mind will surely cry for.
It's a pity that Noah did not have a weak mind, his personality was even on par with the patriarch so after listening to his grandfather harsh words speechlessly, Noah's forehead twitched as he stopped the secretary from having to type what the old man said earlier in the compensation page.
Noah gritted his teeth, saying forcefully, "Grandpa! Aubrey is not a scheming bitch, and whether you like it or not, she will soon be my wife and the mother of my child, so please treat her better from now on. I will not take your words of wanting me to be removed on the family genealogy seriously, but please, there will be no next time" Aubrey put on a touching expression, but she was thinking of hundreds of ways to kill the Everest family when she finally married to the door.
She suffered too much humiliation in just one day when Noah would finally divorce his wife.
She should have really not tagged along with Noah so she wouldn't experience such a thing and be embarrassed on the spot in front of Cameron, the soon-to-be ex-wife, who should be the one to be embarrassed in front of her.
Cameron did not mind the hateful expression on Aubrey's face when Noah did not look at her anymore, but she very much minded the fact that Noah was very capable of protecting his beloved.
Since even though she is his wife, she never experienced being protected like that, but as the saying goes, she was only a wife, not a beloved, while the woman in front of her, standing behind Noah with an ugly face, constantly changing her personality like a fake person, was the true beloved and was about to become the wife of Noah legally after divorcing her.
"......"
It's better this way, though.
It's less painful when she chooses to let go.
After a moment of pain flashed inside her eyes uncontrollably once again, it disappeared without a trace as the phone was once again handed over to Cameron by Noah, who was already so angry to the point that a slight push would make him explode on the spot.
Cameron blinked slightly as she put the speaker on full volume, letting everyone finally hear the words clearly from the other side of the phone, unlike earlier, when they needed to rely on the loud voice of the people at the other end of the phone so they could hear what everyone was saying.
Aubrey and the secretary ears pricked up to listen to the patriarch response to Noah words earlier that was full of rage, so while Noah looked at Cameron, who was so calm from the start with furrowed brows, the patriarch words made not only Noah but Aubrey too, infuriated, while the secretary propped his hands on his laptop but was so excitedly listening to this excitement unfold.
The subject involved only had a plain reaction, so the secretary can't fully display what it meant to feel excitement.
"Grandpa, it's not that appropriate if you formally adopt me into the family. I was once your grandson's wife, it's very inappropriate if you adopt me to your family now" Cameron softly began.
The patriarch voice was replaced by Noah's mother irritated voice, "Who cares about that stinky boy? We remove him from our family genealogy so you won't feel it's inappropriate. Who needs him? We only need you. We don't care if he starved to death outside with his little mistress, he got the money to support himself and that fox anyway--There is no way that he will let himself starved to death so removing him from the family genealogy won't make that much of a difference.... So, what do you think about our offer of adopting you to the family?" Mrs. Everest said a lot of words, discrediting her son from time to time by saying harsh words. Noah's face turned black and blue after hearing that they were really serious about removing him from their family genealogy. It really seemed that Cameron effect on them was too great.
He stared at Cameron with flaming eyes after hearing his mother's last question full of expectation.
Cameron, under the hot gaze of Noah, slowly uttered her response, "I'm sorry but no."
The people on the other side of the phone went silent for a moment before they exploded."What do you mean, no?! Do you really hate us now because of Noah? Cameron, you can't just hate us because of that guy!" Mrs. Everest exploded after hearing Cameron's rejection.Her hatred for her son reached a new height when Noah, who was closely listening to his mom, twitched his lips in response while Aubrey's eyes were calmly glaring daggers at Cameron.Cameron did not have any patience to pay any attention to the two; her decision to stay away from this group of scumbags made her harden her heart and not care about anything that wouldn't affect her life.But even if she decided to stay away from her scumbag husband, she couldn't possibly stay away from her ex-husband's family since his family was really like family to her.But then again, by continuing to involve herself with the Everest family, she knows that it will lead to something unpleasant."No, I will occasionally meet with all of you
Clang! Blood spurred out of Noah's forehead as the thick vase intentionally went in his direction.The patriarch, who stood in front of him, had an angry appearance; his expression was even more mad when Noah did not evade his attack."Look at the good things that you have done!" the patriarch's powerful voice resounds throughout the living room.But Noah did not respond. He pursed his lips, not paying any attention to his angry face and voice.He lowered his head, thinking of the reason as to why Cameron left for six months straight, with no way of being found out at all.Why?Why did she leave?Noah did not know why he was questioning Cameron's decision in his heart. He was left in a confused state and was even more confused as to why his grandfather, who was usually easygoing and kind towards him, had become so much like a madman.Noah's grandfather looked at him, confused about what was going on.He slumped back to the chair as he waved his hand, tired of associating himself furt
"Mama!" a cute baby girl was trotting towards Cameron, with a cute baby boy following behind her back without any expression on his face.Such a scene made Cameron widen her smile as she opened her arms, and in turn, her daughter flew to her arms after finally coming closer to her side.Cameron hugged Kimberly in her left arms while she picked up Kim, her son, and hugged him in her other free arm.Kim, even though he had no expression on his face, still nudged her face with his cute and chubby cheeks awkwardly before he remained motionless to let his twin sister act lovey-dovey with her in turn.So cute!Cameron silently thought as she nudged her cute son's chubby cheeks once again, giving a kiss to her son on the forehead. Cameron gave her attention back to her baby girl after her baby girl loudly harrumped, clearly envious.Cameron laughed at this behavior. "You can't be that stingy about sharing your mom's affection with your twin brother, okay?Cameron chuckled as she nudged her n
Cameron laughed after hearing what Lin Yenan had said, but she still agreed after a moment of hesitation."Well, if the show wanted my presence there and I would be paid by it, then why not go? It's free money for me. Are all the necessities to go back to Central America free?" Cameron asked.Secretary Zhou was already all smiles after hearing Cameron agree to what he said. Not minding his boss's deadly gaze that seemed to be wishing for his death, Secretary Zhou nodded his head and said in response to Cameron's question with a full smile on his lips."Yes! You are all free from having to spend any penny on the way there. I will just go back to the company and prepare the papers that you need to bring so you can proceed smoothly to the show without anyone stopping you in the process," Lin Yenan's secretary hurriedly said after Secretary Zhou couldn't handle the deadly gaze that his boss was oozing any longer.His boss really is too scary.He was scared that he couldn't keep his own li
Lin Yenan took a deep breath after seeing that Cameron was really determined to go to the show."If you really wanted to go to the show, then the kids and me should go there along with you. We won't accept any refusals!" Lin Yenan strongly said, his lips slightly pouting.The twins also nodded their heads and pouted their lips, along with Yenan's actions.Saying in unison, "We won't accept refusals!" her kids said cutely with those puffed up cheeks and pouting mouths.It was too cute that Cameron can't help herself but to pinch her daughter puffed up cheeks and slightly bend down to pinch her son cheeks."Okay, okay. If you want to go with me, then okay, I won't stop you. But it seemed that it was only me that was free for all necessities during the show. So, you need to spend money if you all wanted to come along with me," Cameron said with a helpless smile, looking at Lin Yenan with a troubled expression on her face.Lin Yenan's cold face softened a lot after Cameron agreed to his r
Noah did not get to chat with Cameron further as Li Yenan coldly glanced at him before he moved Cameron and the twins to a more secure place that Noah wouldn't reach at all."Such a weirdo, Li Yenan coldly left a sentence for the man that was looking at the twins that resembled Cameron greatly with shocked eyes."You... you have kids?" Noah's low question was not heard by Cameron and the twins, but Li Yenan heard it. His heart skipped a beat as he glanced at Noah with cold eyes, wishing to kill this man on the spot.What is this man thinking, showing himself in front of Cameron?Does he intend to steal his woman away?Li Yenan's eyes narrowed down a lot after thinking of that. He made eye contact with one of his security guards before he followed along the mother and child pair silently, with a languid smile on his lips.Noah, who decided to investigate what happened in the past properly, suddenly was caught by unfamiliar security guards. With both of his hands tightly locked, he grow
Cameron indifferently looked at Noah who half kneeled while holding his lower part tight, his mouth opened wide that made Cameron think that it was painful to be hit too much down there.But who cares?This guy sneaked up on her causing her to be caught off guard, so she instinctively did what she deemed as the right way to escape from a creep hands.This kind of situation that Noah fell into.... he deserved it well."Are you a greasy bald uncle who only knows how to sneak and corner a helpless woman with no people around? I really underestimate your distorted ways of wanting to meet with me, Noah" Cameron coldly said, her glare boring onto Noah figure, such cold attitude towards the man which she deemed as her first love made Noah felt cold inside his heart.Noah pursed his lips, regardless of the pain that he was feeling, he stood up and looked at Cameron in the eyes head on after he winced in pain when he stood up straight all of a sudden."I know I was wrong..." Noah took a deep b
Cameron lazily laid on the sofa, the papers hanging between her fingers. "I don't want to have business with them!' Cameron complained, her mouth curled into a pout, clearly reluctant on wanting to do business with her ex husband. But if she was reluctant on doing business with her ex husband, Li Yenan was more reluctant than her, along with the two children that already knows the identity of the bad guy through Li Yenan who sneakily said the truth(distorting some facts and lies). They were so reluctant that all of them hang their chubby body softly in Cameron lap(except for Li Yenan that certainly can't do this kind of action). "Pfft" Cameron laughed, seeing her babies listless look after she complained. "What's wrong with my cutie pies? Who's making you in a bad mood?" Cameron gently asked her children, she heaved as she both carried the two otters on her lap. "Mama, can you not go to meet that uncle? That's a bad Uncle, he will surely do bad things to Mama if Mama go there t
