Chapter 227 It's Over
Gael anxiously shouted, âHey, wait-" But the call was hung up from the other side. He abruptly
slumped on the chair as his body had instantly lost all energy. âIt's over. It's all over now. Silas has
taken action, as expected!â he mumbled. He had been feeling uneasy for quite some time. During
the wedding anniversary back then, he was worried that Silas might take actions against Brooklyn
Company. He specially went over to visit Camila and barely managed to get through that point. But
now, these two women went to target Camila. Are they not ever going to be satisfied unless they
destroy our family?!
Leila couldn't hear the telephone conversation, but when she saw Gael in a soulless state, she knew
that something bad must have happened. âWhat's wrong?â He abruptly looked at her with a pair of
eyes that were filled with viciousness. âAre you now asking me what's wrong? It's all because of the
two of you! Silas has started to take action against our company. You guys should just wait to be
thrown out on the streets!â
Startled, she roared, âHow could he do that to us? He beat her up to this state, but he is still
unwilling to let us go?â He was beyond furious. âShut up! Why did I marry a woman like you?!â With
that, he turned around and left.
"Where are you going? What are we supposed to do now?" Leila yelled from the room, but Gael had
already left the room.
He first went to the company. Just like what his assistant had explained, the company, which initially
had only a few dozen employees, seemed to have gone bankrupt overnight, and the few workers
that stayed behind were interns. The interns were surprisingly rather dedicated to their job. Upon
seeing him, they voluntarily greeted him, âGood day, President Brooklyn!â He mumbled a reply
before returning to his office and instructed someone to hand him the cancelled orders. He took a
look at them and found that the cancelled agreements consisted of not only those unsigned
agreements; even the companies that had signed the agreements were willing to cancel their orders
and pay the damages for breach of contract. For an inexplicable reason, he had a feeling of
bitterness, and it made his heart feel heavy. It's my own fault that things ended up this way. Seven
years ago, I was an unworthy father to my elder daughter; seven years later, I didn't do any good as
well.
Regarding the incident where my younger daughter bullied her, I just gave a gentle scolding to the
former. I have finally gotten what I deserve today. Silas is really planning to take me down this time!
On the other hand, Camila didn't go to the studio today, but she didn't sleep as well. The man's
words kept echoing in her mind. I understand. I'd overestimated myself! And his pair of eyes, which
revealed his pain, haunted her. She said that he was greedy because he was still unsatisfied even
when she was obviously letting him have his way!
As a matter of fact, she was actually the type of person who was slow to warm up to people. There
were only a handful of people whom she had actually accepted as real friends and were able to get
close to her. However, he was able to dominate most of her thoughts within merely three months.
Therefore, she was a little afraid when he intended to take another step closer. The only rash action
that she had ever taken in her life was to sleep with a stranger to take revenge on Miles, and that
incident had influenced her for 7 years. Ever since then, she would think twice about anything she
did. Silas was the only unexpected variable after all these years. Buzz! The vibration of her phone
interrupted her reverie. In a daze, she looked at the phone, which was thrown at one side, and her
eyes inexplicably gleamed with hope. She got up and picked it up to take a look at it. Upon seeing
the familiar numbers, the luster in her eyes instantly disappeared, and all that was left was
boundless coldness. After some time, she slid on the screen and accepted the call. She put the
phone by her ear, but she didn't say anything. The person on the other side tentatively called out to
her, âCamila-" She scoffed, âWhat, now? Are you calling me to stand up for your daughter?â Gael's
words momentarily choked in his throat. He immediately explained, âNo. She has gotten what she
deserved!â Camila continued to press on, âIf you felt that she deserved this, why did you save her?
Shouldn't you have allowed her to feel the pain of being beaten so that she would learn her
lesson?â
