Chapter: 834
As Camila made her way to the restroom, she inadvertently knocked over a bottle, causing it to shatter into pieces on the floor.
This startled her and it caused her to lose her footing and nearly fall.
Jaylen sprang into action, catching her and holding her tightly in his embrace.
Camila scowled and demanded, “Let go of me!"
Jaylen grew irate.
“Camila, I just saved you. You would have fallen if it weren't for me.
Why don't you show me any appreciation?"
Jaylen was on the verge of reprimanding Camila as a heartless scoundrel.
Camila pushed him away, indicating that she knew, even in her inebriated state, that it was inappropriate for a man to hug a married woman intimately.
Jaylen helped Camila to her feet and asked, “Can you stand up straight?"
Camila nodded in affirmation. "Yes, I can."
But as soon as she spoke, she let out a belch and the foul smell of alcohol wafted from her mouth.
Jaylen frowned disapprovingly.
“Mila, Let's keep drinking!" Laura exclaimed, raising her glass. Hearing this, Camila abandoned the idea of going to the restroom and instead drank another glass of wine with Laura.
Witnessing this, Jaylen was taken aback.
What were these two women doing?
Suddenly, Camila's phone began to vibrate with an incoming call.
Camila tapped Laura on the arm and said, "Your phone is ringing.. Laura waved her hand dismissively and retorted, "No, it's your phone." “Mine?” Camila queried before reaching out to retrieve her phone. Taking it out of her pocket, she glanced at the screen and confirmed that it was indeed her phone ringing.
She answered the call and greeted the person on the other end, “Hello...”
“Is Laura there with you? I can't seem to reach her," the voice on the other end queried.
Camila's eyes widened in surprise. "Forrest?"
Without waiting for Forrest's reply, Camila continued, "Hey, Forrest.
How could you do what you did to Laura?"
Forrest sounded crestfallen and responded in a subdued tone, “Where is she?"
"I don't know," Camila stated flatly. But just as she was about to hang up the phone, Forrest implored, "Mila, I know you know where she is. Please don't act impulsively. There's something I need to tell her.”
