Camille stood up, looking down at her from above with a cold and indifferent gaze. She said, "I will help you find your child, but I will also tell him about his background and what you have done. Honestly, I have to admit, while you may not be capable, your childrearing skills are quite good."
Vere was well-behaved and had a good moral compass, clearly a result of Regina's upbringing. He was kept in the dark about his origins up to this point.
Camille said these words just to confirm her suspicions.
It was only when she saw Regina's emotional outburst that she understood she had hit the mark.
Camille smiled, the hint of a smirk on her lips, but she did not say another word.
Seeing Regina's increasing agitation, she continued to scream, "Camille, you can't do this. You can't harm Vere. You can't treat him like this. He is innocent. He is innocent. How can you do this?"
Camille was already walking out of the room, and although Regina tried to get up, she was trapped and couldn't move.
Her tone softened from the beginning, "Cami, I saved you. Don't do this, please. Don't do this. He doesn't know anything. Everything is directed at me. You're a mother now, you can't harm my Vere."
As Camille walked out, Regina's cries echoed down the hallway.
Grace stood at the doorway, their eyes meeting briefly. Grace immediately approached Camille, asking softly, "Are you really going to tell Vere everything?"
Grace's face was filled with worry, her eyes reflecting genuine concern and fear for Camille's actions.
Camille could see Grace's concern and disapproval, and suddenly, she felt a mischievous urge to tease her.
Camille replied lightly, "I have that intention. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that, would I?"
Grace frowned even more, her expression grave. She said, "Cami, is this the right thing to do?"
"What's wrong with it? Are you getting soft now? Don't you know what she's done? If you go soft now, won't you regret it later?"
Grace bit her lip, silent for a moment before saying, "I might regret it, but I don't want Vere to know so much. If Vere learns all this, he'll live in a world of pain. He's just a child, he doesn't know anything. Bringing him into this might not be fair, right?"
Camille was no longer too concerned about Grace's reaction, as it was clear she was more interested in how Grace perceived her.
Camille gazed at Grace, asking, "If I do this, will you think of me as a heartless person who spares no one, not even a child?"
Camille suddenly changed the subject, catching Grace off guard. Grace quickly responded, "I haven't thought of you like that, I won't. Whatever you do, I support you. I will stand by your side as you have stood by mine. Sometimes I may not agree with your decisions, but if you insist, I will approve."
This was Grace's stance. She thought the decision was not suitable, but if Camille persisted, she would reluctantly support her.
Upon hearing this, Camille felt relieved. At least in Grace's eyes, she wasn't heartless.
No one wanted to be seen as heartless.
Camille earnestly told Grace, "I said that just to torment her internally. As for Vere, I won't say anything. I plan to discuss with Ayan and send Vere abroad, ensuring his biological father will never see him again. At the same time, I will make sure he doesn't dare to expose this relationship voluntarily. It all depends on how important Vere is to that man. If it's truly for the child's benefit, he may remain silent for the rest of his life."
However, if the man is selfish, he will undoubtedly not keep quiet. Instead, he may use Vere to gain everything from the Armstrong family.
Although the Armstrong family may not be what it once was, everyone knows the saying "a starving camel is still larger than a horse."
Perhaps the Armstrong family isn't as prominent as the Simpson family or the Ward family or the King family, but compared to a small company, it's much stronger. And what about a gambler?
Grace agreed with Camille's thoughts. "Your plan makes sense. Maybe this is the best outcome for Vere. Only by completely distancing him from these people can he avoid being tainted."
Camille simply gazed at Grace. "Your idea is right, but have you thought about how to tell Vere?"
Grace was taken aback, her expression growing serious. She asked, "Will Vere believe it? He's grown up now. Won't he be suspicious?"
"Believing or not depends on his perspective. With the advanced internet nowadays, filtering information is both simple and difficult. If we keep hiding these things from him, we'll have to detain him forever. But even then, he won't truly be rid of these things. If one day he learns everything, have you considered if he'll resent us?"
Camille wasn't afraid of this, as she didn't have a strong bond with Vere. Their interactions could be counted on one hand. However, Grace was close to Vere, and if he harbored resentment, Grace would also be deceived.
Even though contemplating the actions of a child like this was inappropriate, sometimes one had to prepare for the worst. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Camille's question made Grace pause. Although this issue seemed distant, in reality, it was looming large. Vere was nearing adulthood, and at this stage, his psychology could be heavily influenced.
Grace was worried. Despite Regina's mistakes, she should have turned a blind eye to Vere. But considering Vere's plight, Grace said to Camille, "Does Regina have some savings that can be passed on to Vere? Let Vere inherit that money and study abroad, never looking back in his lifetime."
