And to all the women watching—if you were deceived into marrying absolute scum, would you just sit there and accept it while your husband cheated on you?
Of course not.
So what's the problem with me and Camilla being together?
She wanted freedom, and I wanted her. I was relentless, and she was kind enough to give me a chance.
Morally bankrupt? If pulling the woman I love out of the abyss makes me morally bankrupt, then fine. I own it.
But Camilla is spotless. We only got together after her divorce was finalized.
Instead of using these desperate accusations to smear Camilla, you should ask yourself how you managed to raise a cold-blooded, murderous criminal.
Camilla left your family because she actually has morals and boundaries."
Laura had never encountered someone as unapologetically ruthless as Lance. Utterly dismantled by his words, her face turned a ghastly shade of pale, and she struggled to form a coherent sentence.
"You... she... you say you got together after the divorce? Do you have proof?" Laura clung desperately to her narrative, determined to brand Camilla as an adulterer.
Lance scoffed dismissively. "Proof? If Camilla had agreed to be with me sooner, do you really think I would have let her suffer in the Carter family for that long?
With the power of the Charles Group, I could have easily forced Barnard to sign those divorce papers on day one.
It was only because she held her ground that you got to torment her for as long as you did.
And now you want to drag her name through the mud? Your family really is a hive of vipers."
Enraged by Lance's biting sarcasm, Laura turned her crazed eyes to Camilla. "Camilla, you still cared about Barnard, didn't you?
You didn't want to see him executed, did you? Could you..."
"He funded human experiments and destroyed countless lives. A simple execution wasn't nearly enough to pay for his sins.
From the moment I found out he was trafficking drugs, I wished he would die a thousand deaths. So wake up, Laura. Anyone with a shred of human decency could never forgive a monster like that.
You've made your scene. Now, get the hell out of my wedding," Camilla cut in, her voice cold and steady.
The news of Barnard's execution had been made public weeks ago, sparking massive online discussions.
He had gotten exactly what he deserved.
Camilla felt nothing but sheer disgust when she thought about the time she had wasted living with him. She had absolutely zero pity left.
Security finally dragged Laura out. As she was hauled away, she screamed one last time, "You're so heartless, Camilla! Barnard still thought of you at the end! How can you be so cold?!"
Heartless?
Camilla internally scoffed. If Barnard hadn't trapped her in a fraudulent marriage, she and Lance wouldn't have missed out on so many years together.
