Chapter 228 Disappointment
Gael faked a chuckle. âCamila, I understand that you are mad. I'm furious too, but if something
serious were to happen to her, I think that you would be in trouble too.â Camila sneered, âDonât
worry. I won't let her die; I want her to live in such a miserable state that she would wish she were
dead. You'd better remind your daughter to not fall into my hands again, because I'll make sure to
take her life then!â Her voice was bone-piercingly cold, resembling the wind from a snow-capped
mountain which could freeze a person to death!
He took a deep breath and spoke in embarrassment, âCamila, I've failed you. I-Is the child alright?"
She was like a porcupine that was full of spikes, especially when she was facing her father. If it
weren't because he messed with Leila, allowed the mother and daughter to enter their house, and
indulged them, her child and her wouldn't have fallen into such a state.
Therefore, how could a simple sorry make up for what he had done?
âWhat do you consider serious, then? He was injured all over when he was in Lyla's hands for only
three or four hours. He kept having nightmares at night, and this fear will affect his entire childhood.
If it weren't for his clever escape, I doubt that my son would have been able to survive through that.
Is your daughter insane? After all these years, haven't you taken her to go for any check-ups?â Gael
replied, âI'm sorry, Camila. I was blind; I didn't know that sheâs such an extreme person.â She coldly
uttered, âThere's no need for you to say that. You have nothing to do with me anymore. If the
purpose of you calling me was to say these words, just forget
about it. Ill never forgive her. The reason I didn't take her life was not because for your sake; I just
wanted her to live on to endure the pain that sheâs inflicted on my son!â Upon hearing that Camila
seemed to have the intention to hang up the phone, he immediately said, âCamila, this is not what I
wanted to say. I wanted to talk to you about something else...â He paused for a moment at this
point because he found it really embarrassing to ask for her help, but he couldn't just watch his
company go bankrupt. âCamila, please help me. Silas has started to target Brooklyn Company. I'm
really at my witsâ end.â
Hearing that, she was stunned for some time. She thought that he called her because he was
worried about his grandson's injuries and was pissed off by Lyla's action, so he wanted to apologize
to her. Yes! He did express his concern just now. Though it wasn't sincere, it at least gave her a little
comfort.
But who could have guessed that there was a blatant intention behind his fake concern.
From beginning until the end, he had never been concerned about South and her. If it hadn't been
because of Silas targeting him, he wouldn't have even made this insincere call. I'm utterly
disappointed! Why did I still have any hope in him? She was overwhelmingly disappointed in him.
With a hand placed on her chest, she lowered her eyes and chuckled. It turns out that extreme
disappointment will cause one to feel heartbroken! âSince Silas is targeting you, you should
straightaway go and look for him. Why did you call me instead?â With that, she directly hung up her
phone. She suddenly felt cold, so she tightly hugged herself with both arms and buried her head
between her legs, curling herself into a ball.
Why did he even call me? Wasn't he exhausted to come out with those lines of fake concerns? At
night, Silas was called to Ruby Palace by Alex and Hayden. However, he kept drinking throughout
the night. He didn't say nor eat much. Seeing that he was going to raise his glass again, Alex
abruptly pressed on his hand. âWhat's wrong with you? Did you go through a breakup?â Silas didn't
answer. He moved his hand away and downed another glass of beer before lazily casting a glance at
him. âWho did I even have a relationship with?â Alex failed to hold back his laughter. âLooks like it's
an unrequited love. Tell me about it. Could it be that you were driven out by Camila, the little
beauty?â
