Chapter 227 It’s Over Gael anxiously shouted, “Hey, 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. “It’s over. It’s all over now. Silas has taken action,
as expected!” 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. “What’s wrong?” He abruptly looked at her with a pair of
eyes that were filled with viciousness. “Are 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!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStartled, she roared, “How could he do that to us? He beat her up to this state, but he is still unwilling to
let us go?” He was beyond furious. “Shut up! Why did I marry a woman like you?!” 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, “Good day, President Brooklyn!” 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTherefore, 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, “Camila-” She
scoffed, “What, now? Are you calling me to stand up for your daughter?” Gael’s words momentarily
choked in his throat. He immediately explained, “No. She has gotten what she deserved!” Camila
continued to press on, “If 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?”
