The police officer deliberately paused before finishing his sentence, making Cameron’s knees
weak
“I accidentally hit him this time. I didn’t do it on purpose… Officer, please don’t arrest me. My son’s still being detained, and he’s waiting for me to save him,” she pleaded
The police officer replied helplessly, “I can’t do anything. You need to convince the victim to settle instead.”
Cameron immediately turned toward Jainie, who shot a glance at me.
Then, in a tone that sounded very unfriendly, he said, “You Injured my head when I’ve never done anything to deserve it. This injury is definitely going to leave a scar, and I don’t know how I’m supposed to find a partner in the future.”
Kudos to Jamie for his stellar performance–he even managed to make me feel sorry for him.
If his injuries left a scar, he might become a lot less attractive and may struggle to find a wife. That’s a burden too great for me to bear.
Cameron kept apologizing and saying all kinds of things to try to appease him, but Jamie still wouldn’t settle. With no other choice, she returned to me, pleading, “He’s your employee, isn’t he? Please, convince him. I’ll pay -anything–anything at all. Just don’t let me get arrested.”
I sneered inwardly, relishing how foolish Cameron appeared at that moment.
For years, she had lived arrogantly, bullying the weak and avoiding hardship, all thanks to Harry. But with him now locked away, her poverty was almost comical.
Her habit of making reckless, impulsive decisions without considering the consequences had finally caught up with her. It was only a matter of time before she landed in serious trouble.
“Why should I help you after all I’ve endured? Years of insults, bullying, and even your attempts to have me killed?
I wasn’t about to be swayed easily. Helping her now would only encourage her to cause more trouble later.
“Did you say she tried to have you killed?” the police officer asked, stunned.
Cameron frantically waved her hands. “No, that’s not true! She’s just upset and speaking out of anger…
“Taylor, I swear I won’t cause you any more trouble if you help me this once.”
Having achieved what I came for, I feigned a troubled expression and turned to Jamie. “Mr. Young, she seems genuinely remorseful for what she did to you. Could you let her off this time?”
Jamie hesitated for a moment before podding. “Fine, I’ll do it for your sake, Miss Jones. But I’m still very displeased about what happened.”
I glared at Cameron, who immediately understood what Jamie wanted and apologized to him earnestly.
Finally, the two of them signed a settlement agreement with the police officer as a witness, ensuring that Jamie wouldn’t press charges any further.
Cameron was also required to pay 3,900 dollars for his medical bills, mental trauma, and medical leave.
Meanwhile, I had given Jamie an extra 6,500 dollars as an apology and compensation, in addition to arranging a week’s leave for him.

Naturally, Cameron wouldn’t be able to afford the 3,900 dollars, so her debt had now Increased to 10,400 dollars.
That night, Jean had organized a farewell party for Amanda who was leaving Metropolis the next day,
I was famished when I arrived at the restaurant, only to find that they had already eaten a little without waiting
for me.
Amanda looked surprised. “You’re the boss of your company, yet you haven’t found time to have a proper meal?”
I shook my head and sighed. “I’d rather not talk about it. I’ve been through so much nonsense today that I haven’t even had lunch.”
The two of them perked up immediately, eager to hear gossip.
I first filled them in on Edward’s situation, then briefly recounted Cameron’s incident, which stunned them. “Wow… I’m surprised all that happened to you.”
“You’re not going to go soft and get back together with Edward, are you?” Jean asked, her expression full of
concern.
Lanswered firmly, “Not in a million years. If I had gone soft, I would’ve gone to see him. But honestly, I don’t even care if he dies.”
“What about your stepmother?” Jean asked. “I think you can forget about the money you loaned her. There’s no way she’s going to work for you for two years to repay her debt.”
“She’s going to forget all about this once her son gets out of detainment.”
Amanda spoke with confidence, knowing full well the dynamics of my family and what kind of person Cameron really was.
