Divorced the Cheat Married the Fleet (Camilla and Lance) novel Chapter 458

Her voice was shrill and grating. She reached out, trying to grab Camilla by the collar, but Lance effortlessly blocked her with his arm.

"Laura, I suggest you get a grip on reality," Camilla said coldly. "Your family brought every single bit of this upon themselves. Whether it was what Barnard did to me in the past, or his attempt to lock me up today, he's finally getting what he deserves.

What you need to do right now is wake up, keep your daughter-in-law on a leash, and stop harassing me. Otherwise, things are only going to get worse for The Carter Family.

Oh, and per our contract, please ensure the payment for Barnard showing his face in front of me recently is wired to my account promptly. I'd hate to have to drag you to court over it."

Camilla's voice was utterly calm, delivering every word with cold precision. It only stoked the fire of Laura's rage. "Camilla, do you have any humanity left?!

Even if Barnard made some mistakes, The Carter Family fed and clothed you for five years. We literally pulled your mother back from the gates of hell with our money.

Now that our family is in crisis, I didn't expect you to help, but to kick us when we're down? Do you have no conscience at all?"

"So, by stopping me here, what exactly are you hoping I'll do, Laura? Help The Carter Family make a comeback? Pay Barnard's medical bills? Or do you want me to stay and nurse him back to health?" Camilla fired back.

Laura, who had been aggressively in her face a second ago, was instantly rendered speechless.

She was right. What was she actually hoping to achieve by confronting Camilla?

Reviving The Carter Family was far too massive a goal; she hadn't even entertained the thought.

As for Barnard's medical bills, Boss Clement was already taking care of them. Besides, she would never stoop so low as to beg Camilla for something so trivial.

And having Camilla care for Barnard was absolutely out of the question. Davina would go completely feral, and honestly, Laura wanted Camilla as far away from Barnard as possible so her son would stop suffering.

"Since you clearly don't need anything from me, you have zero grounds to judge me. Just do us all a favor—keep your son and your daughter-in-law on a tight leash and make sure they never cross my path again," Camilla said, turning to walk away.

Laura quickly called out, "Wait! Camilla, I need to know. What did Barnard say to you?

Do you have any idea what he's involved in right now? And... his father..."

Laura had been living in a fog lately. The father and son had kept almost everything from her. Even now, she had no idea how Calvin had actually died.

Camilla paused for a second, glancing back at Laura. "Some things are better left unknown."
