“I didn’t expect Camila to be Jovany’s daughter. This time, there will be something interesting to watch,” Dimon
chuckled.
“When did our thing start?” Presley’s eyes lit up, eager to give
it a try.
“Once Camila submitted the lawsuit, we released the news that Starling Realty had falsely declared bankruptcy back then. I believe Gideon won’t be able to escape this time.”
Camila returned home with the documents and was surprised to see that the legal representative of Starling Realty written on the materials was Gideon, and furthermore, this company had already been dissolved due to bankruptcy.
Did she let her go and tell Gideon? Camila felt that this was a bit too much.
She felt that she needed to discuss this matter with Gemma.
Before she could even tell Gemma about it, she received several calls from her aunts, Reece, and Laurel, asking if she could get back Jovany’s compensation.
Camila didn’t know how to explain, but Haley and Laurel were relentless, accusing Camila of embezzling the money. This infuriated Camila.
On that day, just as Camila was about to finish work, she received a call from Maxwell, asking her why she wanted to Sue Gideon.
Camila was startled.
“Didn’t I tell Grandpa?”
Afterwards, Maxwell sent her a lawsuit, with Camila’s signature on it.
Camila was very puzzled, who was pretending to be her?
Maxwell said that even if she was going to sue Gideon, she should have given him a heads–up in advance.
Camila couldn’t explain and hurried back home. At that moment, she happened to see Maxwell coming out of Gideon’s room, wearing a gloomy expression on his face.
“Maxwell, listen to me, I didn’t really do this thing.”
“Do you think I would still believe in you?” Maxwell looked at Camila disappointedly. “Why couldn’t you tell me in advance? Do you never consider us as your family?”
“I was not…”
“What is it?” Maxwell wearily waved his hand. “Camila, ask yourself honestly, how have my grandfather and I treated you since we got married?”
“How could you not even say hello and take Grandpa to court with outsiders? Camila, Grandpa is in his eighties, you are being too harsh.”
Maxwell finished speaking and slammed the door as he entered the study.
Camila took out her phone and dialed Nick’s number, but no one answered the call.

At this moment, Felicity’s phone rang.
“Hey, Camila, did you trend again?”
“Ah? What’s trending?” Camila became nervous. She was most afraid of anything trending.
“Online, it was said that you sought justice for your father, suing the unscrupulous developer and exposing the false bankruptcy scheme of Starling Realty from many years ago.”
“Unscrupulous developers? False bankruptcy?” Camila’s mind went blank in an instant.
“What does this have to do with anything?”
“Wasn’t it you who did it?” Felicity was still thinking of giving Camila a thumbs up.
“I didn’t do anything.” Camila felt like she was being dragged down.
“That’s strange then, you weren’t being used as a pawn, were you?” Felicity said.
“Who on earth did this?” Camila was completely confused.
She went to the court early the next day, wanting to withdraw the lawsuit. However, the court informed her that it was a class action lawsuit and unless others also agreed to withdraw, it could not be withdrawn.
At noon, Camila had lunch with Olivia at the Startak branch.
Olivia told her a piece of gossip.
“Camila, I heard that Startak did not renew the contract with
31.91%
our company anymore, so it’s uncertain whether we can finish this project or not.”
“Which company did Startak plan to sign a contract with?”
“I’m not sure, but Modiet is quite popular now. They have taken away many major clients from Conner Consultancy,” Olivia said with regret. “But this matter is not over yet, so you never know.”
“Are you saying there was still a chance?” Camila certainly hoped that Startak would continue to collaborate with Conner Consultancy.
“It is possible because I heard that major real estate companies are now eyeing a piece of land in the southern part of the city. It seems that the government intends to develop it into a new development zone with strong support. I heard from Danniel’s assistant that Startak also wants to acquire that land.”
“What did Startak buy the land for?”

“Many big companies were buying land now, but this piece of land had a high commercial value, and many companies were competing to acquire it. But do you know who the owner of this land was?”
“Who?”
“Alan Conner, Mr. Conner’s older brother, so now many companies have started to flatter Mr. Conner again, hoping that he can bridge the gap and secure that piece of land.”
“Are you saying that Startak would continue to collaborate with Conner Consultancy in order to secure that piece of
47.68%
land?”
“I also hope it will be like this, at least we can finish this project and it can be considered a rare experience,” Olivia said.
Camila nodded.
In the afternoon, Camila returned to Conner Consultancy company to hold a meeting.
Before even entering the company gate, I saw Svetla and Peter walking out from the door, standing very close to each other, appearing very intimate.
Camila was very puzzled, “How did they two get together?”
Camila walked into the building and heard the receptionist discussing this matter.
“That Svetla is really talented, she managed to seduce both the older brother and the younger brother.”
“Yeah, that’s right. But Mr. Conner wasn’t that easy to seduce.”
“I heard that Svetla’s family is quite influential. Her father used to be a major shareholder of Starling Realty, have you heard of it? It was the most successful real estate developer twenty years ago. The house my family currently lives in was built by their company.”
“I know, it’s the one that went bankrupt later. Recently, there have been rumors online that Starling Realty transferred assets, created virtual debts, and faked bankruptcy back then. I don’t know if it’s true or not. If it is proven, would it also

involve criminal offenses?”
Those wealthy people would stop at nothing to make money.
The discussion was still ongoing.
Camila passed by, her mind racing quickly, feeling that there must be some insider information in here.
After the meeting, Camila went straight home.
She intended to go and ask Gideon what had happened back then, but she saw Svetla moving in with her luggage and staying in the study.
“What’s going on?” Camila came into the study and saw Svetla hanging clothes in the wardrobe.
“My villa needs to be renovated, so I will be staying here for a while,” Svetla said proudly. “What? You’re not welcoming me?”
“No matter if I am not welcome, this is Maxwell’s home, and I will stay for as long as I want.”
Camila didn’t want to talk to her anymore and turned around
to leave.
Svetla didn’t want to let her go, “Wait, I haven’t finished speaking yet.”
Camila stopped.
“I heard that you sued Gideon,” Svetla put down the clothes in her hands and sat on the sofa. “Actually, I admire you. Gideon treated you so well, yet you were able to stand up without any hesitation and take him to court. You truly are a heroine

among women,” Svetla mocked.
“Did you finish speaking?”
“What are you in a hurry for? I haven’t told you something yet.”
