Chapter 11 Zachary was momentarily stunned. A sudden sense of foreboding crept into his heart. He immediately called the hospital, but the reply he received was that Camila hadn't been there at all three days ago. Zachary's fingers clenched abruptly, and he quickly used another phone to dial Howard's number. "Mr. Madderford?" Howard's cautious voice came through. "Let me ask you, where is my fiancée right now?" Zachary's voice was cold and indifferent. The other party paused for a moment, then immediately spoke in a flattering tone: "Please rest assured, Mr. Madder- ford, she's staying at home now. The engagement banquet is in a few days, and I promise to dress my daughter up beautifully to marry you. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" Only then did Zachary's tightly furrowed brows relax a little. It seemed that after he had taught them a lesson, they had come to their senses and took the initiative to bring Camila home and treat her well. As for why Camila had blocked him, it was probably because she was still angry with him. He still felt it necessary to explain things clearly to her. So, when the call switched to voicemail, he took a deep breath and began to speak slowly: "Cami, regarding that proposal, I've already made it clear to the shareholders that it was your work, and I've handed the entire project over to you." "The reason I saved Mollina first that day was because she once saved my life." "As for putting you in the detention center, I just felt that what you did was a bit too much at the time. But I made sure they took good care of you. I didn't expect a small incident to cause you harm, but don't worry, I've made it right for you. I won't let you suffer even the slightest grievance." "And one more thing, actually, my real name is Zachary Madderford, your fiancé. So, don't be afraid. The man you're marrying isn't a stranger, but someone who has always loved you...' This was the most Zachary had spoken at once in over twenty years, and it was all in a voice message. But he believed Camila would definitely listen to it. 0.0% 09:04 Chapter 11 Because he knew that she cared about him too. "Cami, in the next few days, eat well and sleep well." 288 iVouchers His tone softened, "I will give you the grandest engagement banquet, so that everyone will envy you.' In the following days, Zachary personally supervised the arrangements for the engagement venue. He had 99,999 Ecuadorian roses flown in, and invited the most renowned symphony orchestra to play Camila's fa- vorite pieces. He also bought the red diamond necklace Camila had previously admired, worth 200,000,000, without hesitation, and sent it to the Ackley's manor. Whether she played with it as a trinket or not, as long as it made her happy. A few days passed quickly. On the day of the engagement banquet, Zachary put on a perfectly tailored suit and held a bouquet in his hands. After so many days without seeing her, he couldn't wait any longer and went straight to the bride's dressing room. However, when he pushed open the door, it wasn't Camila he saw, but Mollina in a white gown. Moreover, Mollina was wearing the red diamond necklace he had given to Camila around her neck. "Molly?" Zachary's expression changed, a little confused. But before he could speak, Mollina's tone suddenly rose: "Zachary, why are you here?" She looked him up and down, her expression complicated. "Isn't the groom supposed to be Mr. Madderfoṛd?" "I am..." He was about to explain, but Mollina interrupted him bluntly. "If I'm not mistaken, you found out I was going to marry Mr. Madderford and came here to steal the bride, didn't you?" Mollina shed her usual gentle demeanor in front of him, looking down at him with an air of superiority. "I know you've always been good to me, taking special care of me, because you like me." 09:04 54.5%
