Chapter 3
With such considerations, her brother Kieran Lockhart
immediately called the Paxton family to make things right for
her.
After going at each other over the phone, the two families
reached a consensus–for the sake of their friendship and
partnership, the Paxton family would take Edward back from
the hospital to make sure he apologized to Camilla properly.
They immediately sprang into action after hanging up.
As the Lockhart family kept calling Camilla, trying to change
her mind, the Paxton family headed to the hospital.
Camilla was utterly bugged by her phone, which wouldn’t stop
ringing at all. She simply switched it to airplane mode.
Then she went into the bathroom to take a shower, trying to
calm herself down with cold water.

After quite some time, she finally felt better. Walking out while
wrapping herself in a bath towel, she heard a commotion from
the courtyard downstairs. She pulled back the curtains and
poked her head out, only to see several cars parked outside,

illuminating the courtyard brightly.
Looking closely, she recognized their license plates–those were
the two families‘ cars. She figured they had come here to
persuade her.
Knowing what they’d say, she couldn’t be bothered to deal with
them. She drew the curtains shut, lay in bed, pulled up the
covers, and closed her eyes to sleep.
Unfortunately, someone wouldn’t let her.
Kieran slammed on the door with great force nonstop, shouting,
“Camilla! I’m here to stand up for you! Open the door!”
His knocking was like a drum, almost deafening.
Camilla sighed and changed her clothes before opening the
door.
Waiting at the door for a few minutes, Kieran complained,
“Camilla, what took you so long? You’re driving me insane! Our
whole family is here to back you up.”
She curled her lip, pointed downstairs, and said flatly, “I was in
my pajamas. I gotta change before seeing you, right? I know
you’re gonna take turns to talk me out of it. It’s gonna be
forever!‘

She saw through them easily, and her calm demeanor made
Kieran slightly scared.
A bit uneasy, he said, “Camilla, the way Edward treated you is
unfair. I know that. But are you serious about getting a divorce? You’ve been going out for years, got married three days ago, and held the wedding today. Don’t you think getting a divorce so
soon is a bit… impulsive?”
Instead of answering him, Camilla asked, “What’s so wrong
about getting a divorce? I married him just like you wanted.
And now, I don’t think I can be with him anymore and want a
divorce. It’s my own business. You have no say in this.”
She stepped forward and then realized Kieran was standing in
place, not following her.
She rolled her eyes helplessly and then turned around, raising
her voice. “Kieran, what are you waiting for? Keep up. When I
ask for a divorce later, you can take advantage and use me one
last time to ask for more money from the Paxton family.“”
Her words were so blunt that Kieran’s cheeks flushed with
embarrassment.
He then followed her downstairs. On the sofa in the first–floor
living room sat several people.

Edward’s grandparents, parents, and sister were here, and so
were Camilla’s parents and sister–in–law.
Upon seeing Camilla, Edward’s sister Jadeana Paxton trotted
over and took her hand affectionately.
“Camilla, it’s Edward’s fault. No matter what, leaving you alone
on your wedding night is inexcusable. Don’t worry–we’ll
definitely teach him a good lesson to make things right for you.
