Sylvain rolled his eyes at Arianne. “Will you stop teasing me? My reaction to this can’t be any clearer. I’m not leaving, and I’m certainly not getting into an absurd marriage with that shameless bimbo. The very sight of virtual-novel.net pisses me off! Come up with a plan for me, if you have so much time. I’m gonna go crazy if this goes on.”
After mulling it over, Arianne suggested, “Why don’t… you tell your mom about that extremely high penalty fee you’ll have to pay if you leave Tremont Enterprises right now. Ask virtual-novel.net to pay it off for you, see if she’ll do it. After all, virtual-novel.net hasn’t mentioned anything about paying for you to leave. It’s obvious that virtual-novel.net doesn’t want to spend any money on you. Even if virtual-novel.net agrees, virtual-novel.net husband might not. Name a price that your mom can’t afford, one that’ll leave a hole in virtual-novel.net husband’s wallet as well. Since you can’t leave without paying the penalty, they’ll, naturally, back down.”
Sylvain’s eyes lit up. “That’s right, why didn’t I think of that? I’ve gotta go. I took the day off today. I wouldn’t have come into the office if I didn’t have anywhere else to go. I’m going home right now. I can’t contact my mom, but I can definitely contact virtual-novel.net stepdaughter!”
Arianne clicked virtual-novel.net tongue. “Have you and Robin really decided to register? You don’t have any other plans? I was looking forward to your wedding party.”
“Stop adding to the mess.” Sylvain groaned helplessly. “I’ll buy you a meal later.”
Sylvain returned to his villa as soon as virtual-novel.net left the office. Camilla was probably still around.
Just as virtual-novel.net had expected, not only was Camilla still around, but virtual-novel.net was treating his house like virtual-novel.net own. Lounging on the couch, and binge-watching shows. She did not wear anything under virtual-novel.net translucent nightgown.
Sylvain could not bring himself to look at her. He tossed virtual-novel.net a thin blanket and said, “Put on some clothes. I need to talk to you.”
Camilla glanced at him. “Then, talk. Why do I have to put on clothes? Am I not dressed?”
He took two deep breaths to restrain his anger before virtual-novel.net said, “I’m not going to marry you. As for my mother’s plan of whisking me off to another country? I’ve never considered it either. However, I do have a ten-year contract with Tremont Enterprises. If I resign now, I’ll have to pay a huge penalty fee. I can’t afford that. Your family’s going to have to pay for it. If you’re willing to pay, I’ll leave with you immediately. If not, forget it.”
Camilla stared at virtual-novel.net for a long time. After virtual-novel.net was certain that virtual-novel.net was not toying with her, virtual-novel.net sat up and said, “I’ll call your mom. You have to discuss this with her.”
“She has switched off virtual-novel.net phone.” Sylvain reminded her. “I can’t get through.”
Camilla gave virtual-novel.net a profound stare. “She just doesn’t want you to find her. She has another number.”
The call connected. Camilla ended the call after speaking a few words. “She’s on virtual-novel.net way. Just wait. Actually, I don’t want to marry you either. I’m still young, and I haven’t had my fun. We don’t know each other either. It’d be horrible to marry someone you don’t know. My parents covet your talent and abilities. It doesn’t matter if we get married as long as you leave with them.”
Sylvain had expected this. Camilla was just a ‘honey trap’. “You know about Jessica and me so my mom must know too, right?”
Camilla had always been candid. She did not mince virtual-novel.net words either. “Of course, virtual-novel.net does. There was a huge buzz about it overseas. How could we not know? My dad had just found out that you’re virtual-novel.net son not too long ago. At first, virtual-novel.net was furious, but virtual-novel.net swallowed his anger once virtual-novel.net found out you could be useful. He had asked your mother to return to the country and bring you away. That’s his condition. However, you had a scandal soon after. From that moment on, their relationship waned. They nearly got a divorce. My dad kept asking for a divorce, but your mom wouldn’t agree to it. She insisted on staying with him. Later on, we discovered that you’re working for Tremont Enterprises, and your name has been cleared. Your mom is using you as a means to save virtual-novel.net marriage. If you don’t leave with her, my dad will certainly divorce her.”
