Chapter 70 She’s Kept
“Shall we have a baby?”
“Having a baby?” Camila blushed.
“You didn’t want to?”
“Your grandfather was still in the hospital. Now is not the time, right?” Camila said, avoiding eye contact…
“The doctor said that grandpa would be discharged from the hospital in a few days. Don’t you want to give him a surprise?”
Camila was so nervous that her palms were sweating when Maxwell looked at her. “I’m not ready yet.”
“Can’t you still forget your ex–boyfriend?” Maxwell’s voice turned cold.
“Of course not. I am… ” Camila’s concern was about the one- night stand with Kevin. Her period was a week late this month. She was very worried about what if she was pregnant and how she would explain it to Maxwell.
Seeing Camila’s unwillingness, Maxwell also didn’t want to force her. However, his face was filled with disappointment.
For several days, Camila was busy arranging the wedding for Hudson.
The day after Kristen accepted the proposal, Camila cleaned up the wedding house and had Hudson and Kristen move in.

That day, as soon as she went downstairs, she saw a familiar figure.
“Samson, how did you come here?” Camila had truly let go of Samson. Now, when they met, she didn’t have the slightest feeling for him.
“Did you give this house to your younger brother?” Samson’s tone carried a sense of sadness and regret.
“Yes. My younger brother broke his leg for me. This is all I can do for him.”
“You are so kind to everyone else. Yet, you were so cruel to me,” Samson walked up to Camila. “Camila, can you give me another chance? I promise I will treat you well. I…”
“You don’t have to say anything. We have already ended,” Camila said coldly. “There is no medicine for regrets in this world.”
“Alright, I understand,” a sinister look crossed Samson’s face. What he couldn’t have, no one else could have either.
Camila came to the company in the afternoon for a meeting.
Zora announced a news. The collaboration between Conner Consultancy and Startak Gaming was about to expire. Currently, at least three or four financial service companies are competing with Conner Consultancy for this major client.
The good news is that Startak Gaming is initiating an important project that requires the involvement of Conner Consultancy. If Conner Consultancy can gain recognition in this project, their chances of contract renewal will be high.

So the boss of Conner Consultancy wanted to transfer some financial elites from the Department of Consultancy and Training to join Conner Consultancy to work on this project.
If the contract renewal is successful, each person who was seconded can receive an additional reward of 16 thousand dollars.
As soon as Zora finished speaking, everyone was eager to give it a try, including Camila. She was particularly short of money at the moment.
However, Zora’s next words left Camila feeling cold.
According to company regulations, the individuals selected for this transfer must have worked in Conner Consultancy for at least one year or more.
Among the people present, only Camila and Felicity Foster were not qualified.
After the meeting, Zora comforted Camila. “There will be more opportunities in the future.”
Camila felt a little disappointed, but it didn’t really affect her mood.
She bumped into Felicity when she came out.
Felicity was a typical “wealthy and beautiful” girl. Because she didn’t want to be just a decorative vase, she decided to go out and find a job. Her job was only to pass the time.
“Camila, were you particularly eager to work on that project at Startak Gaming?”
“was not qualified.”
“It’s okay. If you want to go, I have a way,” Felicity said. She particularly looked down on those in the group who were arrogant and self–satisfied based on their work experience. They would often talk behind Felicity’s back, saying that she didn’t work properly and only cared about dressing herself up. They even claimed that Felicity would show off by carrying high–quality imitation brand bags.
In fact, Camila could tell at first glance that Felicity’s bags were all genuine limited editions. Any one of them could almost equal their annual salary.
“Never mind. I don’t want others to say that I took the backdoor,” Camila knew that Felicity had connections, but she didn’t want to break the company’s rules.
“You are such a stubborn person. Well, I do like someone like you. Come on! I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Without waiting for Camila to refuse, Felicity pulled her into
the car.
They arrived at a five–star restaurant.
It was dinner time. Judging from their attire, it was evident that the guests coming and going were either wealthy or affluent.
Felicity ordered food while chatting with Camila.
“Hey, do you think Mr. Conner had a girlfriend?”
Camila shook her head.
“I couldn’t guess this.”
recently heard that Svetla Felton came back. Do you know
her? She’s the person who got the endorsement for the online game from Glory Gaming a while ago.”
Felicity suddenly remembered. “Didn’t you also compete with her for that endorsement?”
“Is she famous?” Camila didn’t expect Felicity to know Svetla.
“Not bad. She became a beauty pageant champion for a year and was later kept by Mr. Conner’s brother. Back then, she got whatever she wanted,” Felicity said, sneeringly.
“Was she being financially supported by someone?” Camila was surprised. “She seemed to have a childhood sweetheart as a boyfriend. How could she be willing to be financially supported by someone?”
“You’re so silly! Who would go around shouting if they were being kept? Probably only a few people know about this. Don’t say it was me,” Felicity handed the menu she had checked to the waiter.
“How did you know so much?”
“We have been classmates since elementary school. She was a transfer student. When she transferred to my class, she was living at her aunt’s house. Her aunt’s family used to work in real estate. Later, something happened, and the company went bankrupt. Her family also immigrated. But she didn’t leave. She continued to live in the villa on Garden Lane.”
Camila didn’t dare to say that she currently lives in the mansion Felicity mentioned.
“I’m telling you, Svetla was just a pretending innocent fox. She specifically seduced those innocent little boys in our class.”

Chapter 70 She’s Kept
Felicity suddenly stopped speaking here. “Camila, look quickly. It seems like Mr. Conner has arrived.”
Camila turned around and saw Peter walking into a private room with another man.
The man only showed his back, but he seemed somewhat familiar.
“Mr. Conner was also a regular here. Do you know the person next to him?”
Felicity shook her head.
She was also puzzled. Peter was a heavyweight figure. The number of people who could sit and eat with him was few.
But she seemed to have never seen the man next to Peter. The man was still wearing sunglasses. She couldn’t see his facial features at all.
However, this aroused her interest even more.
“Camila, shall we go and see who Mr. Conner was with?”
“How did you see it?”
Felicity thought for a moment. “I’ll pretend to be drunk and walk into the wrong room. Can you support me later? Shall we give it a try?”
“Not really, right?” Although Camila was also a bit curious, she felt that doing so was a bit inappropriate.
“No problem. Just do me a favor. I really wanted to see who that person was, being with Mr. Conner.“‘
