Chapter 1433: Deceived
Camille stood up, looking down at her from above with a cold and indifferent gaze. She said, "I willhelp 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. Hewas 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'tharm 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 trappedand couldn't move.
Her tone softened from the beginning, "Cami, I saved you. Don't do this, please. Don't do this. Hedoesn'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?"novelbin
Grace's face was filled with worry, her eyes reflecting genuine concern and fear for Camille'sactions.
Camille could see Grace's concern and disapproval, and suddenly, she felt a mischievous urge totease 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 softnow, 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 knowso much. If Vere learns all this, he'll live in a world of pain. He's just a child, he doesn't knowanything. 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 moreinterested in how Grace perceived her.
Camille gazed at Grace, asking, "If I do this, will you think of me as a heartless person who sparesno one, not even a child?"
Camille suddenly changed the subject, catching Grace off guard. Grace quickly responded, "Ihaven't thought of you like that, I won't. Whatever you do, I support you. I will stand by your side asyou have stood by mine. Sometimes I may not agree with your decisions, but if you insist, I willapprove."
This was Grace's stance. She thought the decision was not suitable, but if Camille persisted, shewould 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 sayanything. I plan to discuss with Ayan and send Vere abroad, ensuring his biological father will neversee him again. At the same time, I will make sure he doesn't dare to expose this relationshipvoluntarily. It all depends on how important Vere is to that man. If it's truly for the child's benefit, hemay 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 gaineverything from the Armstrong family.
Although the Armstrong family may not be what it once was, everyone knows the saying "a starvingcamel is still larger than a horse."
Perhaps the Armstrong family isn't as prominent as the Simpson family or the Ward family or theKing 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 forVere. 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'sgrown up now. Won't he be suspicious?"
"Believing or not depends on his perspective. With the advanced internet nowadays, filteringinformation is both simple and difficult. If we keep hiding these things from him, we'll have to detainhim 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 becounted on one hand. However, Grace was close to Vere, and if he harbored resentment, Gracewould also be deceived.
Even though contemplating the actions of a child like this was inappropriate, sometimes one had toprepare for the worst.
Camille's question made Grace pause. Although this issue seemed distant, in reality, it was loominglarge. 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. Butconsidering Vere's plight, Grace said to Camille, "Does Regina have some savings that can bepassed on to Vere? Let Vere inherit that money and study abroad, never looking back in hislifetime."
