Chapter 130 Reaching Out to Camila

“Did Silas ask Camila to come back?” Lara answered, “No, it was Landon. I kept stopping Silas, but I didn’t think Landon would take the opportunity!” Sitting on the sofa, she continued, “Weren’t you just with Jessica?” Ben revealed, “I wanted to win her back, but she is quite firm this time.” “What is Old Man Smith doing?” “Initially, he did not approve of canceling our marriage. But when Jessica answered his call earlier, she just walked out after hanging up. I don’t know what he told her over the phone.” Lara pinched the bridge of her nose and was slightly agitated. “He must have seen the news today too. Here; we’ll double the dowry. You must keep Jessica by your side no matter what!”

Camila’s fashion studio was about to begin operations soon. Thus, she was busy working in the office all day and night-recruiting staff members, supervising, and preparing clothes. She had hired two designers and two assistants who were all capable and sensible. After working together for a few days, they gained a good understanding of Camila’s character and nature. They were especially impressed when they saw her designs. “Miss Camila, I don’t know if I should ask this,” Sophia Young, her assistant, asked.

Camila was always amicable with her subordinates. “Go ahead.” Sophia inched closer. “Word on the street is that you are the world-renowned fashion designer, Angel. Is that true?” Camila smiled at her.

“What do you think?” “I think so!”

Camila could not stop herself from chuckling. Without denying it, she said, “Get back to work.”

However, not denying it was practically admitting to it. Sophia answered with much enthusiasm, “Yes, Ma’am!”

While they were engaged in conversation, a knock sounded from the door. Camila looked up and called, “Come in!” At that moment, a chubby woman came in with all smiles on her face. “Camila.” Florence?

A look of resentment flashed before Camila’s eyes, and her face grew dark. “What are you doing here?”

Florence took the opportunity to walk in and grovel at her, “Camila, I came to apologize to you. I made things difficult for you because of what happened last time. I’m the only one at fault. Will you consider my old age and stop pitting against me? I’m just an old lady now.” Camila did not expect an apology from her and was suddenly befuddled. “It’s in the past now. I won’t pry into it anymore!” Florence took another step forward and pressed, “Actually, it’s all because of that shameless woman, Lyla. She is so good at spinning her words and had us all in the palm of her hand. We’re also victims, especially Miles; he’s the most innocent. He only did those hurtful things to you because he was seduced by that woman.” Camila felt more confused the more she listened. She stopped what she was working on and looked at Florence with a stern expression. “Whoever spun her words and whoever got seduced amongst you people has nothing to do with me. You don’t owe me an explanation either. As I said, it’s all in the past now. As long as you people don’t come and look for trouble again!” Florence panicked. “No, Camila. Silas has almost completely crushed the Ryan Group. Can you ask for mercy on my behalf? The one who wronged you was Lyla, and after what she did, there’s no way the Ryan Family will accept her now. She has nothing to do with us anymore. If you want Silas to take revenge, please let him take it out on Lyla. It has nothing to do with the Ryan Group!” After hearing that, Camila seemed to understand. So that’s why she’s acting so differently. Silas is going against the Ryan Group. Camila sneered at her. “Since Silas is the one taking revenge on the Ryan Group, you should go look for him. Why did you come to me? Silas is not anybody of significance to me.”
