Chapter 35 She Doesn’t Deserve Money

“It’s fine, Mom, just be careful on the road, Agnes said, keeping her voice calm and composed. After hanging up, she immediately dialed Arthur’s number.

As soon as the call connected, she rushed out, “Dad, you need to get to the hospital right now. Mom just sold her bags and is about to give the money to that bitch Camila!”

‘Don’t worry, Agnes. I’m on my way to stop her, Arthur responded, his tone sharp with urgency. Agnes raised an eyebrow, pleased with herself, and went back to selecting bags and jewelry.

At the hospital, Belinda seemed noticeably more confident when facing Camila this time.

Camila, ever perceptive, could tell from Belinda’s pleased expression that she had most likely gathered the 3 million dollars she’d asked for. Her heart raced with excitement, though she kept her face neutral,

Belinda sat down beside the bed, taking Camila’s hand affectionately. After inquiring about her health, she pulled out a card.

She said, “Camila, I promised you I would do whatever it took to fulfill your wishes. Here’s 3 million dollars. Once you take it, we’ll leave the past behind and never bring it up again.”

Camila’s heart skipped a beat, but she maintained her calm exterior. With this 3 million dollars, she would no longer have to worry about the Jackson family’s threats.

Just as she reached out to take the card, the door suddenly slammed open with a loud bang. Both Camila and Belinda jumped at the unexpected noise.

Arthur barged in, slapped Camila’s hand hard, and snatched the card out of Belinda’s hand.

Belinda was completely taken aback. “Arthur, what are you doing?”

“Why didn’t you discuss giving her money with me first?” Arthur’s face was contorted with anger as he glared at Camila like she was his enemy.

Belinda rolled her eyes at him. “It’s just 3 million dollars. It’s not much. After all these years of not being there for Camila, giving her some money is the least we can do.”

“3 million dollars? Does she deserve that much?” Arthur sneered. “She’s useless and only brings shame to the Jackson family. If she had even a fraction of the sense Agnes has, I would have given her the money without a second thought.

“But she never listens. She even tried to attack me with a knife! I’ve worked hard for every penny I have, and I won’t let her get her hands on it!” Arthur said, stuffing the card into his pocket.

Camila’s hand stung from the slap, but she gritted her teeth, refusing to say anything. She just stared at Arthur, her gaze unflinching.

Arthur met her gaze without flinching, sneering. “Want money? Fine. It’s not impossible. If you’re willing to marry into a powerful family to strengthen the Jackson Group’s position in Sancho, I’ll give you 3 million dollars as a gift. If not, don’t expect a penny.”

With that, Arthur pulled Belinda toward the door. She looked torn but didn’t fight him.

Once outside the room, Belinda pulled away from him.

“Why are you being so harsh with Camila? If you just give her the 3 million dollars, she’ll let go of the past. We’ll be a family again. Why are you making this so difficult?” she asked.

“It’s not me making it difficult,” Arthur snapped. “She doesn’t see us as family. She tried to attack her own father. What’s to stop her from doing it again?”

“Can you really trust someone like that in the house? Who knows when she’ll snap and destroy everything?” Arthur’s voice was filled with bitterness and fear.

“Instead of keeping her around as an unpredictable element, it’s better to marry her off and form an alliance. It could als strengthen the cooperation between the Jackson Group and the Campbell family from Northeville,” he said.

“But…” Belinda hesitated, and Arthur continued, “The Campbell family is competing with us for the Eastville project t have a strong chance of winning, but if we use Camila to secure an alliance, it would be a mutually beneficial arra:

She couldn’t bear the thought of sending Agnes so far away, especially when Agnes might face hardship there without anyone to protect her. Just imagining Agnes suffering without support broke her heart.
