Erica wrapped her arms around Cam’s shoulders,ughing.
Cam pinched her nose. “Stopughing! You and your mom left me at the police stationst
night. I haven’t even settled the score with you yet.
That was just to give you guys a chance, but s, Connor is such a blockhead. He let you go
even with such a perfect opportunityst night, Erica sighed.
“Stop making things up. He has no feelings for me.”
“No feelings? When he knew Marc pped you, he was furious. He even talked to the chief of
police to have your dad detained for fifteen days.”
Erica didn’t believe in tonic rtionships between men and women. The identst night
didn’t require Connor’s direct involvement, nor the need to involve the chief of police.
If Connor didn’t have feelings for Cam, she’d eat her hat.
“With your ir for exaggeration, you should be writing novels, not wasting your talents as a fashion
editor. We really are just boss and subordinate.”
“Which boss would go to the police station in the middle of the night to bail someone out? Cam,
when will you see the light?”
“Alright, alright, if he ever pursues me, I’ll tell you first thing,” Cam said helplessly.
She felt that Connor’s care for her stemmed from their reckless one–night stand. Perhaps it was
more aboutpensation.
Erica sighed.
“Believe it or not, if I called my supervisor, he’d let me stay in there overnight. If I disturbed him and
his boyfriend on a beautiful weekend, he’d curse me to kingdome.”
The three of them sat on the carpet,ughing heartily.
“Lily, why did you bring so much stuff?” Cam asked.
“I’ve been learning nail arttely. Once I sell the house, I n to buy a small ce and open a nail
salon.”
“So you n to use me as a guinea pig today?”
“Smart! Don’t worry, I’ve mastered the basic styles.”
“Fine, I volunteer as tribute for your nail art business,” Cam said as she stretched out her slender,
fair hands, neatly manicured.
“I’ll pick a nude color that suits your job.”
Lily took out various nail art tools, focusing intently as she carefully filed and trimmed Cam’s
nails.
It had been a long time since Cam had seen such a look of concentration on Lily’s face. For
years after her marriage, Lily had
lived humbly, her days filled with endless chores, spending every penny under someone else’s
scrutiny. Gradually, she lost her sense of
self–worth.
Fortunately, Lily had finally escaped that dreadful man and the wrong marriage, rediscovering
herself.

was Ray’s residence, the pavilions were the homes of Ray’s four children, and another building
housed the servants.
The Passos family members always gathered at the main house for meals.
Carson’s family lived in Cloud Pavilion, including his daughter Pam and son–inw Ss.
Hugh’s family resided in Moon Pavilion, with his sons Jaiden and Sam.
Heart Pavilion was where Victoria, the third/child, lived. They usually returned only for holidays.

“Connor, it’s been a long time since you’ve been home, we all miss you. We’re in the same city,
why is it so hard to see you?” Madison embraced Connor warmly, her words filled with deep
longing.
Madison hailed from a prominent family in Harbor City. Though her face showed signs of age, her
youthful elegance was still apparent.
Grandma, I’m back now,” Connor smiled.

Oh, look who it is, our Mr. Connor is back, no wonder Grandfather is in such a good mood today,”
Carson’s wife, Evelyn, said gracefully, twirling a pearl–embellished scarf, smiling.
