Divorce Him, Then Dazzle novel Chapter 282

Without realizing it, she had slowly started accepting his presence. She had even unconsciously begun acting spoiled and throwing minor tantrums around him.

Lambert loved every second of it.

This was exactly the result he had been working so hard to achieve.

Maybe she was only letting him get close because she was sick and vulnerable.

But it was a perfect start.

While they were bickering, Camilla's phone buzzed.

Lambert glanced at the screen before handing it to her.

It was an unknown number. Camilla considered ignoring it, but deciding she would rather deal with a stranger than look at Lambert, she answered.

The second the line connected, Daniel White's voice blasted through the speaker.

"Camilla, I agree to the divorce."

Camilla blinked in surprise, wondering what had caused this sudden change of heart. "You agree?"

"You're really something," Daniel sneered, his voice dripping with venom. "I was wondering why you were in such a rush to leave me. Turns out you've bagged a powerful figure. Look at you go!"

Camilla instinctively shot a glance at Lambert.

If she were completely innocent, she could have righteously screamed back at Daniel.

But now, she felt a heavy wave of guilt.

It wasn't like she had actually slept with Lambert.

But... she had fallen for him.

Even if her feelings blossomed while she was separated and finalizing a divorce, it was still something she struggled to accept about herself.

That was why she had fought so hard to push Lambert away.

Because she knew she was completely powerless against a man like him.

She had no idea where Daniel had gotten his information. The divorce was a relief, of course.

But... his accusations made the beginning and end of their marriage feel like an absolute joke.

Camilla forced her voice steady. "If you agree to the divorce, I'll drop the lawsuit."

"You constantly lectured me about emotional cheating and morals, but what about you? You're just a vain, shameless gold digger! And that guy is no saint either. He knew you were married and still had the nerve to—"

"That's great news." A small, satisfied smile played on Lambert's lips. "So why the long face? Regretting it?"

"Of course not!" Camilla shot him a glare before quickly looking away. "It's just... from now on, we should really keep our distance."

Lambert's brow furrowed instantly. "Backpedaling again?"

"I'm technically still married," she said quietly. "I don't want people gossiping."

"Didn't you just say the divorce is happening immediately?"

"Immediately isn't the same as legally finalized."

Lambert let out a soft laugh. "You don't need to worry about any of that."

"No." Camilla crossed her arms. "If you respect me at all, you'll wait until the divorce is final... before we talk about anything else."

Lambert wasn't going to argue with her logic. "Fine."

"Then leave," Camilla told him. "We can talk after the paperwork is signed."

"Kicking me out again?" Lambert chuckled, shaking his head. "You're really just using this as an excuse to get rid of me, aren't you?"
