With Cade present, Cameron certainly wouldn't have been able to hurt Nerissa with the knife. He grabbed her hand just as she reached the dining table. "Cameron…" he growled. Although no one had gotten hurt, her actions completely shattered Blaire's illusion of sisterly affection between them. Her eyes wavered at the sight of the knife gleaming coldly."Cammie…"Cameron didn't struggle. There was nothing in her gaze but cold indifference and mockery as she looked at them."What? I'm bossy? I'm vicious? I deserve to die, right? But what about you? Aren't you just as selfish? Stop pretending you don't see the animosity between me and Nerissa just for the sake of the false harmony you wish for."You're only asking Nerissa to apologize to me because she was caught fabricating rumors about me at the party. But did you ever—""Cammie!"Nerissa interrupted her with a shrill scream, fearing that Cameron would reveal the things she had done. In the past, Blaire might not have believed

Diane was taken aback. Was that something a husband should say? She looked at Cameron curled up in bed with her face half buried into the pillow. Then, she glanced at the cold and indifferent Cade, sitting on the couch with his legs crossed. Her want to urge him to go through with the divorce sat at the tip of her tongue. However, she ultimately kept herself from saying anything by silently reminding herself that she should "persuade reconciliation rather than separation" dozens of times.Cameron let out a low murmur, likely because she felt cold. That was because she curled her already hunched body even tighter right after she finished speaking.Cade stared at Cameron, whose face was flushed from the fever. She was trapped in a deep sleep and unable to wake up. Without her usual domineering and self-centered personality at the forefront, she seemed so fragile that even a slight touch from someone would crush her.Never had Cameron ever been so helpless before. Seeing her that

In her message, Cameron said that she would forget about their past grudges as long as Annie gave those videos to her. Annie asked, "Do you promise that no one will ever discover that the photos and videos came from me?" She didn't want to offend Mirabelle because she had a powerful background. At the same time, Cameron was a crazy woman. So, she didn't want Cameron to keep bothering her either.Annie shuddered involuntarily when she thought about the fate that befell upon them. She mulled over it all night. She really couldn't understand how they ended up under the control of a woman from the countryside with absolutely no background. Mirabelle and Cade were such brilliant people, but even they couldn't escape her grasp. One was all the way overseas, and the other was forced to marry. It was as if Cameron could read their minds and predict their actions. "Yeah." Cameron laughed. Straightforwardly, she answered, "Nerissa was the one who gave me the video." She said it as a m

Cameron had already seen the photographs and the videos. Without the two main culprits, Mirabelle and Nerissa, present, the evidence was of no use to her. If Cade insisted on taking it, she couldn't be bothered to fight it.Her indifference left the air heavy with silence. Cameron jerked her chin towards the door, clearly indicating for him to leave.Cade was at a loss for words. It felt like he was speaking to a brick wall. He frowned in frustration. "Did you get the scars on your back from what happened back then?"His gaze fell on her back. Cameron was neatly dressed, which meant that the marks were completely covered up. Yet, Cade's eyes accurately lasered in on where they were."Do Mr and Mrs. Yorksworth not know about them?"Cameron's skin was fair, smooth, and delicate. So, even though the scars weren't too prominent, they stood out like ink stains on white silk.She spent four years in the Yorksworth residence until she moved out—from age 14 to 18. Those weren't a mere fo

Nerissa threw him hesitant looks. Her fingers were clutching onto her purse so tightly that her knuckles had turned white."There's something I need to tell you, Cade. But I don't know if it'll be appropriate for me to do so."Cade walked past her toward the elevator. "Keep it to yourself then."Nerissa was taken aback. This was not how she imagined their conversation to go. Cade had always been a gentleman. He was the type of man who could make a pig feel like a princess if he felt like it.He was far more patient with her than with others because they grew up together. There was also her relationship with Mirabelle to consider. This was the first time Cade had been this unkind to her.What surprised her even more was that this was all because of Cameron, the very woman he despised.Nerissa watched as Cade continued on his way without pausing. She gritted her teeth and quickly caught up to him."Cade, I heard that Cameron imprisoned her biological parents in a basement to retur
