Chapter 102 Birthday Party
After Peter heard it, his face changed and he realized that it was intentionally trying to trip him up.
“Efrain, our two companies have been cooperating very well, and we recently signed a three–month contract. Why did you suddenly schedule a meeting with another company? Did we do something wrong?”
“This was Mr. Starling’s intention, we were just following through,” Efrain shifted all the blame onto Maxwell’s
shoulders.
“Well, let’s not talk about that for now. How come the project team we sent this morning hasn’t been received by anyone yet?”
“Mr. Starling said that we had adopted Camila’s tax planning scheme at the time, so we only received Camila and did not receive anyone else.”
“We are a collaboration between companies, why is it involving individuals?” Peter felt that Maxwell was being somewhat inexplicable. “Besides, replacing Camila temporarily is a normal internal work arrangement within our company. What does it have to do with Startak Gaming?”
“This is what Mr. Starling meant. Why don’t you talk to him?” Efrain said helplessly.
Peter angrily hung up the phone and called Maxwell several times, only to find out that Maxwell’s phone was turned off.

Finally, Jamie and the others who had been squatting at the entrance of the branch office for the whole morning returned empty–handed.
Jamie and the others had originally planned to replace Camila’s tax planning scheme, but they couldn’t even get through the door. It was really frustrating.
When Olivia heard the news, she immediately sent a message to Camila.
Camila also didn’t understand the reason why Startak Gaming
did this.
In the afternoon, Camila recovered a lot. She called Hudson to inquire about the recent situation, but was surprised to learn that Maxwell had returned to his home country.
Camila thought, “I returned to my country, why didn’t I go home?”
Camila felt a little down, thinking to herself, “Maxwell wouldn’t go to see Svetla, would he?”
Although Maxwell said that he treated Svetla like a sister and their relationship was pure, everyone could see Maxwell’s affection for Svetla.
So Camila didn’t know how to resolve the psychological shadow that this relationship had brought to her.
Perhaps this would be the insurmountable gap between Camila and Maxwell.
Every time Camila thought about these things, she doubted whether she and Maxwell could take the step towards

marriage.
When Camila was feeling anxious and frustrated, Felicity called and said that today was her birthday. She wanted to invite Camila to the birthday party being held at her house.
Camila didn’t want to go because she didn’t like crowded places and was even more worried that Dewitt would also go.
Yesterday, she had just agreed to Yvette, trying her best to stay out of Dewitt’s sight. She couldn’t go back on her word.
But Felicity said she was only Camila’s friend and hoped she could go.
After repeatedly confirming with Felicity that Dewitt would not come, Camila finally agreed to attend the party.
Camila chose a Longines ladies‘ watch as a birthday gift for Felicity.
The birthday party was scheduled for 7:30 in the evening.
Camila brought a gift and arrived at the Foster family’s vacation villa in the suburbs.
Camila thought that Felicity’s birthday party wouldn’t have so many people, but she didn’t expect that the Foster family seemed to have spent a lot of money and organized it very grandly
Felicity wore a white princess dress today, looking as beautiful as a fairy.
Camila sincerely presented gifts and wishes.
“Thank you for coming,” Felicity said, taking the gift and

beaming with joy like a child.
“What gift, let’s open and see?” came the playful laughter from behind.
Camila turned around and saw Isabella walking over with
Svetla.
“Camila, what gift did you give to my sister?” Isabella asked with a disdainful smile on her lips. “It’s not some cheap junk from a street vendor, is it?”
“What valuable things can she give? A person who is so stingy with herself, how could she be generous to others?” Svetla sneered.
“No matter what gift it is, as long as it’s from Camila, I like it,” Felicity said.
“Sister, I don’t understand why you invited her on such a happy day today. It’s really disappointing.”
“Isabella, Camila is my friend. Please show her some respect,” Felicity said, pulling Camila into the backyard.
This is the venue for the birthday party.
The guests have arrived one after another, most of them being young people, in groups of both men and women. Some were chatting in groups, some were taking photos, and some were drinking and discussing business.
Most of the people present tonight were second–generation rich, with a few couples showing affectionate behavior. Some were forced by their parents to come, with the purpose of finding a suitable marriage partner.

Camila didn’t quite enjoy such noisy gatherings, so she chose a relatively quiet corner and sat down.
At that moment, Svetla walked over and sat beside her.
“You’ve been quite fond of joining in the fun lately, haven’t you?” Svetla taunted.
Camila did not speak.
“Hasn’t Maxwell come back yet?”
Camila’s heart skipped a beat.
Originally, Maxwell was not with Svetla yesterday.
“His matter, you go ask him yourself,” Camila replied coldly.
“His phone has been constantly turned off recently, I can’t reach him. Can you reach him?” Svetla asked tentatively.
“I never called Maxwell. It was always him who called me.”
“Are you trying to show off to me?” Svetla’s face turned pale with anger.
“I was telling the truth. Besides, isn’t it normal for a couple to make a phone call? There’s nothing to show off about.”
“Camila, I will make you turn back into an ugly duckling sooner later, sending you back to where you came from.” Svetla had a smile on her face, but her words were filled with the most malicious intent.
“I was waiting for you,” Camila stood up and found another
seat.

Chapter 102 Birthday Party
FIVOU
At this moment, the music started playing and everyone sang the birthday song together. Felicity wore a flower crown and a pristine white princess dress, as she slowly walked towards the crowd surrounding her.
Just as everyone was picking up their phones to take pictures, someone in the crowd suddenly stepped on Felicity’s skirt.
Felicity instantly lost her balance and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Felicity’s dress also started to tear from the back.
Everyone started screaming, but no one went to help.
If Felicity had gotten up from the ground at that moment, her skirt would have slipped off, exposing her in front of
everyone.
At this moment, Camila hurriedly rushed over, took off her red windbreaker, and draped it over Felicity.
Then, Camila untied the braid rope and secured the torn part of Felicity’s skirt from behind before carefully helping her up from the ground.
The dress remained intact when viewed from the front, while a coat belonging to Camila was draped over it from behind, adding a touch of elegance.
Although this process lasted less than three minutes, it was thrilling enough.
Felicity’s body was trembling, unsure if it was out of fear or
anger.
Exeryone present could tell that tonight’s performance was
definitely not an accident; it must have been planned by someone in advance.
Felicity’s biggest suspect was Isabella.

Felicity changed into another outfit. The following segments went smoothly.
The little unpleasantness just now was like a small episode, and no one mentioned it again.
“Camila, thank you for your help today,” Felicity said.
