Isabella raised an eyebrow when she saw it was George calling. She took a deep breath and leaned back in the car seat, answering the phone.
Before Isabella could say a word, George said first, “The Lane family has been contacting me several times, offering age sum for you to treat Cameron. What do you think?”
Isabella remained silent.
It made sense for the Lane family to approach Queenie
The women Samuel brought over were no ordinary people.
Isabella’s eyes lit up, and she said directly, “Take them in.”
George, on the verge of cursing out the Lane family, swallowed his words. He leaped from his office chair and raising his voice, demanded, “Are you sure? Are you considering taking their business on?”
George knew very well everything that the Lane family had done to Isabella.
After all their outrageous actions, how could Isabella agree to treat Cameron?
George thought, They should be grateful that Isabella didn’t kill Cameron!
George was beside himself with anger.
However, Isabella stayed composed. As she observed a stray dog attempting to cross the road in front of her, she lightly tapped the brakes to reduce her speed
She replied to George, “They’ve given me an exorbitant offer, so why not take it? Moreover, accepting it doesn’t imply that I’ll make things easy for him.”
Someone like Cameron didn’t deserve a painless treatment from Queenie.
Isabella just wouldn’t be so merciful.
George was taken aback. His handsome face showed a hint of anticipation as he got interested and asked, “What’s your plan?”
George and Isabella had known each other for so many years
Although Isabella might appear distant, she was not one to show mercy when it came to punishing someone.
Isabella waited for the stray dog to safely cross the road before speeding up. She smiled and said, “The surprise will only be revealed in three days.”
George’s excitement was instantly subdued. He sank into his office chair, propped his feet up on the desk, and grumbled, “Why leave me hanging?”
His curiosity was driving him crazy.
However, George couldn’t help but look forward to it, wondering. What might happen over the weekend?
Isabella ended the call with a cold expression.
She thought, ‘Cameron, it’s about time we deal with that score from last time

Chapter 130
In the hospital corridor, Celine sat on the ground and stared blankly at the phone that had just been hung up, lost in thought for a while.
Celine raised her hand and hit her cheeks with great force.
Loud slaps echoed through the silent corridor.
Her cheeks stung, but the pain couldn’t compare to the pain in her heart.
Celine was overwhelmed by a tidal wave of sadness and guilt, the emotions engulfing her like ocean waves.
At this moment, a nurse in a white coat walked towards Celine, holding a bill.
48%
The nurse stood before Celine and, with a hint of reluctance, hunded her the bill “Ms. Miller,” she said, “please make this payment at the cashier on the first floor. The payment is already past due.
The high medical expenses for Celine’s mother were due to her prolonged hospital stay, a struggle that the nurse had witnessed firsthand,
However, besides Celine herself, there was no
one who could help her.
Celine forced her numb legs to support her as she grabbed the handrail on the wall to stand up. She barely managed a sad smile as she took the bill.
In a choked voice, Celine murmured, “Thank you.”
Celine’s expression made the nurse feel sorry for her, but there was nothing more she could say as she left with a sigh.
Looking at the bill in her hands, Celine couldn’t hold back her tears anymore..
She thought, “What should I do? If the bills weren’t paid, Mom couldn’t get treatment. Mom…..
Celine covered her mouth to keep herself from crying out loud
Just then, she suddenly heard a faint cough coming from the war
It was her mom coughing
Celine walked over to the ward door, her eyes filled with tears as she looked straight at her mom’s pale face.
Clutching her chest sadly. Celine felt it hard to breathe.
She quickly looked away, leaning against the wall and gasping for air.
Then Celine took out her phone and dialed a number she knew by heart. After hesitating for a moment, she made the call.
Upon the other party’s response, Celine nervously bit her lip and reluctantly spoke the challenging words, Jake, please tell him that I… I consent to be his lover.”
Tears flowed from Celine’s eyes like a broken dam as she hung up the phone and ran to the hospital garden desperately.
Celine cried her heart out in the quiet garden.
After a long time, Celine opened her phone case with trembling hands and took out a photo from inside.
Gently brushing her fingertips over the man’s beaming smile in the photo, Celine whispered in a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry.”
Tears fell onto the photograph one by one.

Chapter 136
In the end, Celine just couldn’t take it.

She didn’t know how she managed to get through the long afternoon. Later, she got a call from Jake Davidson, who gave her an address and asked her to come over.
When Celine stepped out of the taxi, she looked up at the luxurious hotel in front of her, her heart pounding fast.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then headed inside
Ten minutes later, Celine found herself standing in front of the presidential suite of the luxurious hotel.
Celine, dressed in a washed–out outfit that had faded from countless washes, anxiously pulled at the hem.
She looked down at the expensive carpet beneath her feet and bit her lip hard.
Celine knew perfectly well that once she knocked on this door, there would be no turning back.
Taking a deep breath, Celine steeled herself and finally lifted her head to look at the door of the presidential suite.
Then she knocked on it.
A short moment later, the door was opened.
The presidential suite was lavishly decorated, with a somewhat dim floor lamp beside a black leather sofa.
A man sat on the sofa, his long legs crossed with an air of elegance. His handsome face was accented by cold, piercing eyes that gazed at Celine, sending a chill through her entire body.
His
gaze
was cold and mocking, devoid of the tenderness that once characterized him, making him appear as if he were a completely different person.
Beneath his indifferent gaze, a high nose and tightly pressed, thin lips contributed to the cold, severe impression of his otherwise perfect face.
Jason Taylor held a glass of red wine in his beautiful hand, gently swirling it.
Celine stood nervously in front of Jason, anxiously twisting the hem of her outfit in her hands, and said anxiously. “Jason.”
Jason’s expression turned serious as he stared intently at Celine and asked in a stern voice, “Do you still require me to instruct you on how to satisfy your client?”
Celine felt a chill down her spine. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Jason. She stammered. “No… I… L
The hands by her sides clenched into fists as Celine stepped forward to stand in front of Jason
Celine extended her hand, barely grazing the cuff of Jason’s pants, when his gaze caught sight of a frayed seam on her sleeve. His expression immediately darkened.
Jason poured the entire glass of red wine onto the back of Celine’s hand.
Celine didn’t dare pull her hand back, letting Jason continue.
She had to do this.
As long as she pleased Jason and got the money, her mother could be saved.
Celine’s lack of resistance made Jason’s gaze grow it all off.”

Chapter 130
Celine’s body suddenly tensed.
She looked up at Jason in disbelief. His face was so familiar, yet his eyes were frighteningly unfamiliar,
Celine couldn’t stop shaking.
Jason’s eyes locked on Celine as he taunted, “Don’t want to? If you don’t, then get out.”
Tears rolled uncontrollably down Celine’s face. She couldn’t give up.
Her mom was still waiting for her.
Celine bit down on her teeth, wiped the tears from her cheeks, and touched the button on her chest.
Putting up with the humiliation, Celine said, “I do”
Then she began to unbutton her clothes, allowing them to drop one by one to the floor.
Jason remained expressionless as he looked at Celine with a mocking gaze.
