They Beg For My Return (Camila Jackson) novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Camila Extra 11

Belinda shouted, “No, Camila, please listen to me! Let me explain!”

Irene interrupted Belinda sharply, “Explain? There’s nothing to explain. You abandoned your own child at an orphanage. You don’t deserve to be a mother.

“And look at those two kids you raised–arrogant and full of themselves. It’s clear you’re a complete failure as a parent.

“You had the audacity to make trouble at my daughter’s birthday party, nearly ruing the celebration we worked so hard to prepare for Camila.

“Once the party is over, I’ll make sure every one of you pays for this.”

With that, Irene pulled Camila into her arms, holding her protectively as she turned and walked away without looking back.

Belinda watched their retreating figures and let out a heart–wrenching scream, “Give me back my daughter!”

But no matter how much Belinda cried out, no one paid her any attention.

Belinda wanted to chase after Irene and Camila, but her legs felt like they were glued to the ground, trembling uncontrollably, refusing to budge no matter how much she willed them.

Tears streamed down Belinda’s face in torrents as she realized she was losing Camila forever.

Belinda cried, “Camila, it’s all my fault. I was so blind and foolish in my previous life, always taking Agnes’s side. I ruined you, leaving you with a lifelong disability.

“But this time, I swear, I’ll protect you. No one will ever hurt you again, not as long as I’m here.

“I know I was wrong. I regret it so much. If only I had had a chance earlier, none of what happened at the children’s clothing store would have come to pass.”

The memory of that day burned in Belinda’s mind: how she had blindly defended Agnes without asking what had happened, and how she had even intended to hurt Camila. The thought filled her with such deep hatred that it felt like it might consume her.

Belinda’s gaze turned cold and venomous as she stared at Agnes, who lay motionless on the ground. Belinda thought, ‘It’s all because of her–this deceitful little snake.’

Agnes had known all along that she wasn’t Arthur’s illegitimate child but the daughter of Ivanna and Claude. Yet, she had shamelessly lied to the Jackson family, deceiving them all.

The Jackson family had sacrificed Camila, leaving her crippled, all for the sake of Agnes.

Now that Belinda had another chance, she swore–Agnes would pay for everything. There would be no mercy.

Belinda stomped down on Agnes’s tiny hand with her high heel, grinding it mercilessly.

A five–year–old’s hand was soft and delicate, and under the brutal pressure of the heel, Agnes‘ chubby little fingers were on the verge of being crushed.

The sharp, unbearable pain jolted Agnes awake.

Her eyes snapped open, and the first thing she saw was a foot crushing her hand. When she looked up, she met Belinda’s gaze–eyes filled with a hatred so fierce it seemed Belinda wanted to tear her apart.

Agnes broke into heart–wrenching sobs with tears and snot streaming down her face. She cried, “Mommy, it hurts! Please, stop! Please!”

Agnes couldn’t understand why Belinda, who always held her close and called her her little angel, would hurt her like this and stare at her with hatred..

Agnes‘ thoughts were a chaotic mess, but the overwhelming pain left no room for answers.

Instead of easing up, Belinda pressed down even harder.

A sickening crack echoed as the fragile bones in Agnes’s hand snapped under the relentless pressure.

“Oh!” Agnes let out a piercing scream before collapsing unconscious once again.

At that moment, Harry regained consciousness.

When Harry saw Agnes’s battered state, the result of his own mother’s torment, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Without hesitation, Harry rushed forward and tried to push blindas legoway. He asked, “Mom, why are you doing this to Agnes? Please, take your foot off! She’s in so muc

Successfully unlocked!

Belinda looked at Harry, feeling heartbroken.

In Belinda’s previous life, she and Harry both hurt Camila cruelly.

Belinda hated herself, Harry, and Arthur even more.

Sexing Harry defend Agnes, just as he had done countless times before, Belinda got irritated.

Belinda kicked Harry hard, sending him sprawling to the ground. The force of the kick left him gasping for air, and it took him a long moment to recover.

“Mom, what’s wrong with you?” Harry asked in a trembling voice.

Tears streamed down Belinda’s face as she said, “Harry, do you even know? Agnes is actually your father’s illegitimate child.” Belinda knew full well that Agnes wasn’t Arthur’s illegitimate child, but what did it matter? She had no intention of revealing the froth.

Belinda wanted Harry to despise Agnes.

From this day forward, Belinda wouldn’t let Agnes have a single moment of peace.

Every tear Camila shed in her previous life would be repaid in full by Agnes.

Belinda wanted to see for herself how Arthur, Ivanna, and Claude–those scumbags–would react when Agnes was mistreated

Harry’s eyes widened as he demanded, “Mom, are you out of your mind?”

Belinda replied, “Of course I’m not. Agnes is your father’s illegitimate daughter with Ivanna, the director of Mercy Hospital.

“Harry, do you know why your real sister was abandoned at birth?”

Harry thought for a moment and said, “Wasn’t she taken away by a trafficker?”

Belinda shook her head and said, “No, your father took her away himself.

“He left your sister at an orphanage and brought his illegitimate daughter home, forcing me to raise her.

“He treated both you and me like fools, deceiving us all along.”

The shocking news left ten–year–old Harry completely stunned. He murmured, “How could this happen?”

Harry knew Ivanna, the director of Mercy Hospital, quite well.

Now that Harry thought about it, he realized Agnes did look strikingly similar to Ivanna.

Harry asked, “Mom, where is my sister?”

Belinda replied, “She has already been adopted by the Stuard family in Northeville.

“This birthday party is being held by the Stuard family for your sister.”

Harry’s shock quickly turned into excitement. He exclaimed, “Really? Mom, let’s go to the party right away! I can’t wait to meet my sister?”

However, Belinda’s face was clouded with guilt, and her remorse was evident in every line of her expression.

“Harry, you’ve already met her,” Belinda said softly.

“When? How come I don’t remember?” Harry asked, his confusion clear.

“She’s the little girl from the children’s clothing store,” Belinda revealed.

“Her?” Harry asked in disbelief and froze in place. The events of yesterday and earlier flashed through his mind. His body stiffened, and he found himself at a loss for words.

Harry wasn’t one to ignore right and wrong; he simply chose to stand by his family, even when they were at fault.

Even though Harry knew Agnes was at fault for causing trouble for Camila, he still defended Agnes without condition.

But now, realizing that Agnes was his father’s illegitimate daughter and that the little girl he had bullied was his sister, Harry felt a wave of shock and shame surge through him.

Belinda sighed deeply and said, “We’ve made mistakes, Harry. Now we need to do everything we can to make it right.

“Let’s go to the party and celebrate your sister’s birthday.”

Before Belinda and Harry could leave, a group of security guards appeared, blocking their way and restraining them.

“What are you doing? Let us go!” Belinda protested.

A guard said, “How dare you cause trouble at the Stuard family’s little princess’s birthday party? You’ve really crossed line.”

Belinda, Harry, Agnes, and Yvonne were swiftly escorted away by the security team.

With the troublemakers gone, Camila’s birthday party continued smoothly, filled with laughter and joy. Meanwhile, the video of Agnes pushing Yvonne down the stairs had already been handed over to the police. Although five–year–old Agnes was too young to face legal consequences, Belinda and Arthur were held accountable. The Stuard family was among Northeville’s top elites. Though the Zevon family didn’t quite match their status, they were

still far above the Jackson family.

With the Stuard and Zevon families joining forces, Belinda and Arthur were swiftly thrown into the detention center,

As for the surveillance footage of Giovani pushing Harry and Agnes down the stairs, it had long been erased. Camila’s birthday banquet was a grand affair. In front of all the elite families of Northeville, Harrison and Irene personally introduced Camila.

From that moment on, everyone in Northeville’s elite circles now knew Camila as the Stuard family’s beloved little princess, and their gazes toward her were filled with warmth and admiration.

In her previous life, back in Sancho, Camila had never received such kindness from the wealthy circles.

But this time was different. In Northeville, she was a household name, recognized and respected by all.

Not only did Camila have the Stuard family as her backing, but she was also protected by Giovani, Elliot, and Zachary, her loyal companions.

Besides, Zachary’s younger sister, Sienna, seemed particularly fond of Camila. During the banquet, she flitted around Camila like a hyperactive butterfly.

Sienna praised, “No wonder my brother keeps praising you to me. You’re just as adorable as he said! You’re like…

“You’re like a soft, squishy bun! So cute and plump!”

Camila was amused but remained silent.

Sienna suddenly threw her arms around Camila’s neck and promised, “Camila, when school starts, I’ll have your back. No one will dare bully you!”

Camila thought to herself, ‘Uh, I’m starting college, and you’re still in elementary school.

‘Even though you’re older than me, technically, I’m your senior. I don’t think I need your protection.’

Camila’s smile was bright and innocent, her expression pure and carefree.

Camila, still a child, felt sleepy before the banquet ended.

She had no recollection of how she ended up back at the Stuard residence.

While Camila slept soundly, Arthur and Belinda were sent to the detention center. Moreover, the Jackson Group in Sancho faced a devastating blow from the combined forces of Northeville’s four major families.

Half a month later, Belinda and Arthur were released, only to find that the Jackson Group had already gone bankrupt, which happened nearly twenty years earlier than in the previous timeline.

It wasn’t just the Jackson family that faced disaster; the Zevon family was dragged down as well, all thanks to Yvonne’s reckless actions.

Harrison and Irene had heard of Yvonne’s attempt to teach Camila a lesson.

Yvonne dared to bully Camila at her own birthday party, which showed that the Zevon family clearly didn’t take the Stuard family seriously.

In that case, the Stuard family saw no reason to let the Zevons stick around.

In the previous life, Yvonne had clung to Giovani like a shadow until she turned twenty–two.

To keep other women away from Giovani, Yvonne spread vicious rumors, claiming he was impotent and had a twisted personality, thereby tarnishing his reputation at every turn.

Giovani didn’t care about rumors, but Yvonne’s constant harassment wore him down. Eventually, he crushed the Zevon family and sent Yvonne packing to Halisland.

This time, the Zevon family’s collapse came over a decade earlier than it had in the previous life.

Robin wasn’t any better.

She was the one who manipulated Yvonne into targeting Camila.

That same night after the banquet, Giovani walked into Joshua’s bedroom with a gleaming dagger in his hand.

Joshua nearly jumped out of his skin. He asked, “What are you doing with that dagger?”

Joshua had long learned how ruthless Giovani could be. If it were up to him, he would have sent Giovani somewhere e could never return.

However, Giovani refused to leave, insisting on staying right where he was.

Over the years, Giovani had trained both Joshua and Robin to the point where they didn’t dare to shout at him.

Giovani’s eyes were unreadable, his face devoid of emotion. He stroked the dagger in his hand, its blade catching the light,

and said, “Robin incited Yvonne to hurt Camila. Cutting out Robin’s tongue seems fair, doesn’t it?”

Joshua had grown so accustomed to obeying Giovani that he had become almost servile. Now, faced with Giovani’s piercing gaze, Joshua couldn’t even muster a protest. His head moved on its own, nodding like a puppet.
