Isaac, however, was still holding Aldrin accountable.

The latter had no driver's License. And since he was already an adult, his sentence would be worse.

The surveillance footage on the road clearly showed that Aldrin was the one at fault. To make things worse, he fled after the accident.

The punishment for hit-and-run would be graver.

"Dad, I have no idea what you're talking about. Why should I go beg Isaac?" Camila calmly asked back.

She knew very well what Marvin was talking about, but she pretended to know nothing.

“Your brother drove your car without my knowledge and accidentally hit Isaac's car. Isaac is trying to take his revenge even though Aldrin is your younger brother-—"

“Since when did I have a brother? My mother only gave birth to me," Camila retorted.

Marvin's face darkened. He cleared his throat to ease the atmosphere and reasoned out, “Well, though it's true your mother didn't give birth to him, you share the same fath-"

"My father never cared about me. Why should I Lower my dignity to help his son?"

Although Camila had got used to Marvin ignoring her, they were still related by blood, and she was still craving his love.

Marvin took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his anger. "I don't have to apologize for anything, do 1?"

What he had said made Camila look at him with contempt.

“Dad, remember when you tried to stop me from applying to medical school? I still did, but you refused to support me finan—"

“What's the point of learning medicine? Being a doctor is exhausting, and the pay isn't even that good. I raised you to be clever and competent so that you can find a good husband and live comfortably. Thanks to me, you became Isaac's wife. And if you try hard enough, he'll eventually fall in love with you.”

For a moment, Camila was at a loss for words.

“I'm a human being, capable of having my own decisions. I know what I want." She stared at Marvin for a brief moment and asked, “Dad, do you even have a dream?"

Marvin paused for a few seconds, taken aback, and replied, “Of course. My father was merely a driver. I wanted to be successful, but I have no good background or connections. Do you have any idea how hard it is to achieve anything when you have nothing?"

Camila was stunned.

She had thought that the only thing Marvin cared about was himself.

He was selfish and would use anyone for his benefit.

He was not scared to do anything to achieve his goal.

However, Camila never tried to understand why he was so hungry for power.

Was his desire to be successful the same as Camila wanting to be a military doctor?

Could it be that both of them just wanted to achieve their dreams?
