Chapter 121 Someone Who Also Lost A Kidney
Life went on smoothly as usual for the next seven days as if nothing had happened, but Lucy was far from idle
On a moonless, pitch–black night, the woods behind the campus were shrouded in darkness. The ectin silence was thick
with tension
Lucy was in full disguise. Her entire body was wrapped tightly, leaving only her cold, glinting eyes exposed. She moved like. a phantom, lurking in the shadows and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
When the couple who had humiliated her in the café strolled into the woods, laughing and holding hands, ready to make love, a sharp glint of malice flashed in Lucy’s eyes.
She crept closer without a sound, and when they were completely off guard, she struck them without warning. Her foot shot out in a swift kick, landing squarely in the man’s most vulnerable spot.
A blood–curdling scream tore through the night as the man collapsed to the ground, clutching his groin in agony and writhing like a wounded animal. The damage was unmistakable.
The woman froze in terror, her face drained of color. Just as she opened her mouth to scream, Lucy darted forward like lightning. The brick in her hand came crashing down on the woman’s face.
A sickening crunch echoed as four of the woman’s front teeth flew out, accompanied by a spray of blood. Her nose broke with a sharp snap, and she crumpled to the ground, wailing in pain.
Lucy didn’t waste a second. She quickly retreated to a secluded comer, shedding her coat, gloves, and mask. Taking out a lighter she had prepared, she set the evidence ablaze to erase every trace of her crime.
The couple reported the attack to the police, but despite a thorough investigation, no clues were found to link Lucy to the Incident. The case eventually remained unresolved.
Lucy’s ruthless revenge on the couple wasn’t about the 300 thousand dollars she didn’t get. It was because of her sympathy for Camila. Every extra day Camila stayed trapped in her suffering was another day of torment.
‘Anyone who dares to make Camila suffer deserves to pay the price, Lucy thought coldly. That was why she didn’t hold back when she beat those two idiots senselessly.
Meanwhile, Camilla hadn’t been out of the Campbell residence for seven days. She poured all her focus into finishing Majestic Bloom for Lindsey.
On the seventh day, Sean finally returned. The atmosphere in Glovani’s study was so oppressive that it felt suffocating
Sean placed a thick stack of documents on the desk gently. The rustling of paper was loud in the silence. “Mr. Campbell, here’s everything about the Jackson family, he said.
Giovani reached out slowly, his long fingers flipping through the pages one by one. The more he read, the darker his expression became. His brows furrowed tightly, and a storm seemed to brew in his usually composed eyes.
The information Turner had uncovered before had already left Giovani shaken, but what Sean had brought back this time was like a tidal wave, completely overturning everything he thought he knew
Camila’s life had been far more tragic than he could have imagined–like she’d been thrown into the depths of hell with not way out
Giovani’s hand clenched into a fist somehow, his knuckles turning white. His heart was a whirlwind of sorrow for Camila’s misery and rage at the Jackson family’s monstrous cruelty. After a long silence, he stood up and picked up the entire stack of documents.
Sean looked at him and couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Campbell, this is too harsh. I’m afraid Ms. Jackson won’t be able to take
A flicker of emotion crossed Giovani’s eyes–complex and unreadable. “She’s already endured so much. At the very least, she deserves to know the truth. Living in ignorance and self–pity won’t help her. She should face reality, no matter how cruel it is.
After saying that, Giovani left the study and headed toward Camila’s craft room
He had always been cold and unyielding in the business world. He was sharp and decisive, never hesitating or retreating in the face of rivals‘ schemes and provocations.
Yet now, standing before the door to Camila’s Successfully unlocked! able to summon the courage to push it open. He had imagined countless times how Camila would react upon seeing licnarsh truths–shock, pain, despair. Each possibility was like a dull blade, slowly cutting into his heart and leaving behind a lingering ache.
Sean watched in surprise as Giovani hesitated. After years of seeing his ruthless ways as the Campbell family heir, this was the first time he’d witnessed him care so deeply for a woman.

Sean, her eyes widened instantly. Her eyes
Camila’s sharp intuition kicked in–Sean, who had been missing for seven days, must have uncovered everything. “You figured it out?‘ Camila murmured, her voice hoarse.
Giovani gave a slight nod “All here Do you want to see it?”
From his expression, Camila could tell the documents contained something far worse than she’d imagined. Her hands instinctively clenched the hem of her dress, and her heart pounded wildly in her chest.
No matter how hard she tried to stay strong, fear crashed over her like an unstoppable wave as the truth drew nearer
“1” Camila opened her mouth, but the words seemed to catch in her throat
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. “I need to know she said, her voice trembling but resolute
Giovani hesitated briefly, but in the end, he handed the documents to Camila.
Camila reached out slowly, her hands trembling as she took the stack of papers. They felt unbearably heavy in her grip. She turned to the first page, her eyes scanning the words. Her face went ashen, drained of color in an instant
The documents meticulously outlined every scheme and act of cruelty the Jackson family had orchestrated against her over the years. Memories that had once been blurry now sharpened into vivid clarity replaying in her mind like a relentless nightmare.
She had always believed she was kidnapped as a newborn by despicable human traffickers. But the documents revealed a far more horrifying truth. It was her father, Arthur, who had stolen her away and abandoned her at an orphanage.
She had thought Agnes was adopted by her parents out of grief after losing her. Yet the documents mercilessly exposed the truth that Agnes was the daughter of Arthur and his mistress, Ivanna.
While Belinda was pregnant with Camila, Arthur had an affair with Ivanna, the obstetrician overseeing Belinda’s prenatal care. To make room for the child he had with Ivanna, Arthur heartlessly abandoned his newborn daughter at the orphanage s doorstep
Over the next two decades, he even orchestrated Ivanna’s rise to become the head of the hospital
“Arthur!” Camila spat through gritted teeth, her voice trembling with fury. Tears spilled uncontrollably down her cheeks, blurring her vision. She sucked in a shaky breath, forcing the tears back, and she continued reading the documents.
It read: Ivanna suffered from the hereditary kidney disease, and it just so happened that Belinda (Camila’s mother) was a perfect match.
[During Belinda’s C–section, Arthur ordered Ivanna, who was also pregnant with Agnes, to have a C–section at the same time. The surgeon, who had long been bribed, removed one of Belinda’s kidneys during the procedure and transplanted it into Ivanna.]
Camila stared at the words, frozen in place. Her mind was completely blank. Now she understood why Belinda had always complained of back pain and fatigue during the three years Camila had lived with the Jackson family
Whenever Camila and Agnes fought, Belinda would snap at Camila, saying. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been in this condition! You come back and stir up more trouble instead of calming things down with Agnes. Are you trying to drive me crazy?”
It turned out that it wasn’t her birth that had ruined Belinda’s health. It was because Ivanna, Agnes‘ mother, had taken her kidney. And yet, Belinda had chosen to mistreat her daughter for the sake of her enemy’s child
Camila suddenly burst into laughter with tears streaming down her face. Her laughter
endless sorrow and mockery. “Isn’t this her karma? she wondered.
