The breeze blowing off the river carried a biting chill.
Leaning into Lance's embrace, Camilla felt a sense of security she had never known before.
Just as the moment felt perfectly peaceful, a shrill scream shattered the quiet. "Camilla! You bitch! You ruined Barnard! I'm going to make you pay!"
Davina burst out of nowhere, wielding a switchblade, and lunged straight at Camilla.
Lance moved with lightning speed. He snatched the knife from her grasp while simultaneously kicking Davina to the ground. But the sharp edge grazed his wrist, and bright red blood instantly spurted out.
Davina stumbled back and crashed into the riverside railing, her eyes locked onto Camilla with pure, venomous hatred.
It all happened so fast. The people watching the fireworks were stunned for a second before chaos erupted into panicked screaming.
"Murder! She's trying to kill them!"
"Call the police! She's got a knife!"
The romantic atmosphere by the river was instantly destroyed, replaced by a wave of terror all thanks to Davina.
A couple of burly men in the crowd rushed forward and pinned Davina down. Unable to break free, her eyes remained fixed on Camilla like poisoned darts as she shrieked, "Why are you stopping me? She's a homewrecker! She stole my husband!
Shouldn't you be going after that morally bankrupt tramp?
What did I do wrong? Why are you holding me?!"
Her ear-piercing screams drew everyone's attention toward Camilla.
The crowd looked at Camilla, then at Lance standing beside her, their expressions turning incredibly strange.
Although Camilla looked a bit pale, her features were stunning, and she exuded an unmistakable aura of elegance. She looked like a wealthy heiress in her late twenties. As for Lance, his striking looks were straight out of a classic oil painting.
The two were clearly intimate; anyone could see they were a couple.
Yet Davina was claiming...
While waiting for the police to arrive, a middle-aged woman in the crowd couldn't hold back anymore. "Lady, I think you've got the wrong idea. Look at them, they're a picture-perfect couple. What does she have to do with you? Don't tell me you're claiming this handsome guy is your husband?"
Before Davina could answer, laughter rippled through the crowd. Everyone stared at her like she was out of her mind, clearly finding the whole situation hilarious.
Furious, Davina screamed, "My husband is lying in a hospital bed because of her, and she's out here living it up! She's a homewrecker! If it wasn't for her, my husband wouldn't be in this mess!"
