They Beg For My Return (Camila Jackson) novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195 Those Bastards Must Pay

A month later, on a sunny afternoon, sunlight streamed through the windows like golden threads, spilling onto the living room sofa.

Lucy sat quietly, the sunlight draping over her like a delicate golden veil, soft and ethereal.

Compared to the grief–stricken woman from a month ago, Lucy now looked vibrant, her cheeks carrying a healthy blush. On the surface, there was no trace of the sorrow left by Camila’s passing. Lucy seemetas relaxed as a cat lazily basking in the

sun.

“Lucy, come eat.” Turner’s gentle voice called out from the kitchen.

Lucy turned her head and saw Turner walking out, carrying dishes in his hands.

The dishes clattered softly as Turner set them down on the dining table. His gaze, warm and tender, lingered on her. “Come on, let’s eat.”

For the past month, Lucy had been staying at Turner’s house, completely skipping school.

Turner had been cooking her a variety of meals every day. Under his meticulous care, Lucy’s body, once frail from overwhelming grief, had gradually recovered. As her complexion improved, Turner finally felt a sense of relief.

During this time, he had been constantly on edge, worried that Lucy might act out impulsively again. After all, if she committed another crime, it would make Camila’s sacrifice meaningless.

Fortunately, Lucy had been exceptionally well–behaved these past few weeks, allowing Turner to relax a little.

Lucy sat at the dining table, eating in silence.

Turner watched her, a faint smile tugging at his lips. His expression was filled with affection as he picked up his fork and carefully placed more food on her plate.

“Turner,” Lucy suddenly spoke.

Turner paused mid–motion. “What is it?”

Lucy looked at him. “Thanks for everything. I’m all better now, so I think it’s time I head back to school.”

Turner’s expression froze. “How about I help you apply for a leave of absence instead?”

Lucy shook her head without hesitation, her voice firm. “No need. I want to graduate as soon as possible.”

“But…”

“You’re worried I’ll go after Ivanna and Claude for revenge? Relax. I promised Camila I wouldn’t touch them.”

Turner studied her closely. “Really?”

Lucy nodded firmly. After a brief pause, she added, “If you’re still worried, you can drive me to and from school every day.”

Turner thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright.” He knew how much Lucy cared about Camila. Camila’s dying wish had been for Lucy to live a peaceful life. Turner believed Lucy would honor that wish.

Lucy lowered her gaze, hiding the cold, murderous intent that flickered in her eyes.

For the past month, she had been quietly recovering her strength, preparing for what was to come. At the same time, she had been using her exceptional computer skills to track down Ivanna and Claude secretly.

After a relentless month of digging, she finally pinpointed the whereabouts of those two wretches. She had given them an extra month to breathe, and she thought it was time for them to pay for their sins in full now.

The next morning, under the bright morning sun, Turner personally drove Lucy to the gates of Sancho University of Science and Technology. He watched her walk into the campus, her figure fading from view, before finally driving away.

But not long after he left, Lucy quietly turned around and slipped out of the campus.

As night fell and the city lights began to glow, Turner returned to the university gates, silently waiting for Lucy.

He waited for half an hour, but Lucy was nowhere to be seen. He pulled out his phone to call her, only to find her number unreachable. Instantly, a wave of unease gripped him.

Successfully unlocked!

At that moment, Lucy was in another city. She stood in front of an old apartment building. The hallway was dimly lit and smelled musty.

Lucy knocked lightly on the door in a steady rhythm, the crisp sound breaking the silence of the hallway.

Inside, Ivanna and Claude were chatting casually. Hearing the sudden knock, they paused and exchanged a quick glance.

“Who is it?” Claude asked, his tone cautious.

Lucy lowered her voice, deliberately disguising it. “Your delivery’s here.”

Claude were chatting visibly relaxed.

“Oh, it’s our takeout. That’s fast,” Ivanna said.

“I’ll get it,” Claude said, standing up. He walked over and opened the door, spotting a petite “delivery girl” standing in the dimly lit hallway.

Her face was hidden behind a mask, and the poor lighting made it hard to see her features. But her build gave her away as a woman. Claude relaxed, totally off guard. “Okay, just hand it over.”

Lucy raised her head, her eyes sharp and cold. “Finally, I’ve found you.”

In one swift move, she plunged the knife into Claude’s stomach.

“You…” Claude’s eyes widened in shock, staring at Lucy in disbelief.

“What? Cat got your tongue?” Lucy snarled, ripping off her mask to reveal a face twisted with fury. Without hesitation, she yanked the knife out and stabbed him again and again.

“You loved hurting Camila, didn’t you? Let me return the favor,” Lucy sneered. She kicked Claude into the room with brutal force before slamming the door shut and locking it.

Hearing the commotion, Ivanna rushed out of her room. One look, and she went totally silent–then let out a blood–curdling
