hapter 14 Chapter 14 Camden was having a very bad time lately . Ashworth Holdings was in medical equipment , but for years he'd been planning to expand into service industries . When the West Side project launched , several of Ashworth's smaller projects collapsed like dominoes . He was forced to sell even more shares to generate cash flow . And those shares had already been quietly acquired by my people . When I walked into the Ashworth Holdings board meeting with my team , Camden looked completely bewildered . After he realized what was happening , his voice shook with fury . " It was you ... you've been planning this ? You calculated all of this ? " I smiled slightly . " Mr. Ashworth , don't let us keep you . " He refused to leave , but the security guards physically " escorted " him out . He no longer even qualified to attend board meetings . Moreover , many projects during his tenure had involved regulatory violations , and the board was preparing to pursue his personal liability . Not wanting to be arrested , he had to grit his teeth and sell his remaining shares to barely cover the shortfall . He slunk away from Ashworth Holdings . But with his personality , how could he possibly give up ? He convinced Vera to sell her private restaurant , hoping to make a comeback . The restaurant was in the city center , so it was worth quite a bit . But his business acumen had always been mediocre . He'd previously relied entirely on the Sterling family tree to sail smoothly . He'd mistakenly thought it was his own ability . Now , having lost all support , Sterling Industries didn't even need to intervene . A few blind investments and he'd lost everything . This time , Vera had had enough . She'd lived in luxury for so many years - how could she tolerate hardship ? With her good looks , she quickly found another " sugar daddy " to clinch and wanted to leave . 10:30 Who Needs a Divorce Lawyer When You OWN the Company ? Honey , You Are FIRED ! 15.5 % Chapter 14 Camden refused , feeling betrayed . During their violent argument , Vera stabbed him , and he lost a kidney . While he was hospitalized , I had someone deliver Vera's background file to him . Vera was a graduate of some socialite training program , skilled in manipulating men . Starting at sixteen , she'd moved between different men until she was twenty - five and met Camden - finally securing her biggest sugar daddy . Camden immediately coughed up blood and passed out from rage . When he woke up , he was determined to prosecute Vera and make sure she rotted in prison . After Vera was imprisoned , Camden came looking for me several times . Each time , security threw him out . He couldn't even touch the hem of my clothing . Chapter 15
