Chapter 13 "What did you say?" Zachary's fingers clenched abruptly. He immediately ordered someone to drag Howard up, grabbed him by the collar, and said, "Say that again!" Howard swallowed nervously in fear. He had never seen Zachary like this before. The man who was always calm and composed now looked grim, his jaw tight, veins bulging on his neck, as if he was about to lose control at any moment. But he still stammered, "It-it was Camila who wanted to leave, I swear I didn't drive her away! I even have the trans- fer records! Please, Mr. Madderford, you have to believe me!..." Zachary threw Howard directly to the ground and ordered that he and his wife be dragged away and locked up. When he confirmed that there really was a transaction record of 700 million dollars, a red haze gradually appeared in his eyes. It really was Camila who asked to leave. Why did she want to go? Why did she leave him without a word, just abandoning him like that!? Zachary felt a weight pressing on his chest, making it almost impossible to breathe, completely unable to understand. The next second, he received a call from the housekeeper: "Mr. Madderford, I found a gift box in the backyard. It seems to be something Ms. Camila mentioned she wanted to give you, but for some reason, it was suddenly thrown out." A gift box? Zachary had never heard Camila mention this: "When did this happen?" "It was... about half a month ago, right after you came back from your business trip. Ms. Camila took the gift box to your study to find you..." The housekeeper's words echoed in his ears. Zachary's frown deepened, and he immediately had someone pull up the surveillance footage from outside the study during that time. Sure enough, he saw Camila's figure. She was holding a delicate gift box, her face full of joy as she approached the study, seemingly wanting to tell him something important. She looked a little nervous, taking deep breaths over and over. 0.0 % 09:04 But what was he doing at that time? Zachary froze for a moment, then immediately checked his call records from that day, his fingers trembling slightly. That day, he was on the phone. "Just a willful, troublesome little girl, not at all suitable to be my wife..." Zachary staggered, his body suddenly unsteady. So, at that time, Camila had already learned his true identity, and she had overheard him talking about repaying Mol- lina's kindness, thinking that the one he liked was Mollina. Moreover, she thought those words meant he despised her, that she was not worthy of being his wife! No wonder she had been acting so strangely lately. She no longer threw tantrums, no longer clung to him, and even blocked him! She even gave the engagement.to someone else and disappeared from his world completely! Zachary clutched his chest, the sudden sharp pain making it almost impossible to straighten up. He took deep breaths, his eyes stinging with tears. "Camila, how cruel you are..." He gnashed his teeth in anguish. She clearly misunderstood, so why couldn't she just come and ask him directly? Why did she have to leave him in such a resolute way?! Zachary slammed his fist heavily on the table. The glass surface shattered instantly, shards piercing his hand, blood streaming out, but he didn't feel any pain at all. He collapsed to the floor, motionless, as if he had been cast in cement, turned into a statue. He didn't know how much time had passed until the blood on his hand dried into clots and his assistant rushed in. "Mr. Madderford, there's a package here, sent by Ms. Camila!" "Cami sent it?!" The bloodshot haze in Zachary's eyes suddenly cleared, and his gaze lit up again. He immediately tore open the package and saw a voice recorder inside. Did she have something to say to him? With trembling hands, he pressed play. The sound of wind rustling through leaves came through, a soothing white noise, 49.5 % 09:04 But after a few seconds, Mollina's voice could be heard... 98.4 %
