Divorced the Cheat Married the Fleet (Camilla and Lance) novel Chapter 327

Calvin caught Davina in her lie and she instantly went red, a wave of embarrassment making her freeze on the spot. She didn’t answer, just avoided his eyes. Calvin grew impatient, pushing her, “Was it you or not?”

Davina realized there was no way to get out of this, so she tried to wiggle out of it with half-truths. “Dad, you can’t put all the blame on me. Barnard ran off from his own wedding to find Camilla. I just lost my temper. After everything Camilla’s done to embarrass us, I just wanted to help you get some revenge…”

But Calvin’s face went dark. The more she tried to explain, the angrier he got.

He slapped Davina across the face, sharp and loud. “You call that helping me? All you do is make things worse! Are you really that clueless? Haven’t you figured out by now that you can’t do anything right? Is it so hard to just keep your head down and avoid more trouble? I want you to really think. What else have you done behind my back?”

Davina held her cheek, head throbbing from the blow. He had hit her right where Carmen slapped her at the wedding, and now her skin burned, swelling up fast.

With tears in her eyes, she glanced at Calvin. His own jaw was still puffy from where the Blair family’s relatives had hit him at the party. His face, twisted with fury, made him look monstrous.

Davina shrank from him, body reacting before her mind could catch up. For a moment, guilt bubbled up, thinking of the relatives she’d pushed toward causing trouble for Camilla. But she buried that feeling. It had been a whole night since her relatives went out. If anything had really happened, Camilla would have come for her by now. Everything was quiet, so the mess hadn’t followed her home—at least, not yet.

There was no way she’d confess any more, not when Calvin looked ready to explode.

She shook her head, voice steady. “There’s nothing else. Really, I was just annoyed and told some people to give Camilla a hard time online. I swear I didn’t do anything else.”

Calvin looked at her, reading her expression. He almost believed her. At that moment, just as he was about to relax, the butler burst in, sounding frantic. “Sir, it’s bad! The police are here! They want to take Davina away!”

“What? Take her for what?” Calvin’s mind went blank. Behind him, Davina’s calm shattered. Panic flooded her face.
