Chapter 17 They Must Be Courting Death to Dare Bully Mommy
Cam sat in the taxi without saying a word. She held her child tightly as if trying to protect thest
treasure she had left. South’s small arms wound themselves around her neck. “Don’t be sad, Mommy. I
will get back everything you lost for you.” Kate chimed in too, “That’s right; South is right. You’re already
back. How can we allow her to continue acting so arrogantly? Everything she snatched from you, we’ll
get them back again.” Thus, Cam smiled. “Don’t worry; I’m fine.” Then, they returned to La Grande
Maison. When South got out of the car, a stab of pain went through his knee and he nearly fell to the
ground. Fortunately, Cam reacted quickly and caught him. “South, what’s wrong?” South endured the
pain and pretended to put up a calm front. “It’s nothing.” However, Cam wasn’t that easy to fool. She
immediately squatted down. “Show me; what’s wrong with your leg?” Then, he avoided her. “It’s nothing.
Mommy, I’m fine. Let’s go home.” Ignoring him, she rolled up his pants. Immediately, she saw that his
knee was bruised. Moreover, the top of his knee was scraped and the skin was torn. Against his fair and
tender skin, the bruises stood out shockingly. Sucking in a deep breath, her heart seemed to clench in
pain. Then, she bent down and carried him in her arms. “Let’s go home quickly.” As soon as they
reached home, Cam ced South on the sofa. At the same time, Kate brought the medical kit over.
Thus, Cam gently swabbed at the wound with cotton wool soaked in disinfecting alcohol. She was so
distressed that her heart felt like it had shattered to pieces; she lightly blew on the wound as she gently
cleaned it. “Mommy, it doesn’t hurt,” South consoled her when he saw how distressed she was.
Unfortunately, the more considerate he was, the worse she felt. She said nothing but her tears slipped
out of her eyes. It’s all because I have so much baggage that I caused my child to be dragged in to suffer
with me too. Afterward, South closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. When Cam finally left, he
sneakily got out of bed and sat down in front of hisputer again. Then, his two small hands swiftly
flew across the keyboard and he quickly found the studio where L worked. After finding a document
folder on herputer, a smug smile tugged at the corners of his lips. The firewalls are a joke; there are

whatsoever. He scrolled through the file, muttering to himself, “How ugly.” Then, he hit the Enter button.
Deleted! Looking at the empty page, South felt much better. How dare you bully Mommy; you must be
courting death. At the Nn group the next day, Xavier held out his phone. “President Nn, look at this;
is that Miss Brooklyn?” Ss frowned slightly. Taking the phone, he nced down at it. It was a short
mashup video probably taken by one of the customers dining there. The headline was ‘Restaurant
Owner Sides With Beautiful Mother-Utterly Satisfying Oue’. It was a scene of L pulling a child out
of the chair, followed by a scene depicting Cam sending L flying with her kick, andstly, a shot of
the sign saying “L Brooklyn and Dogs Not Allowed Inside’. His frown deepened. “Which family does
L Brooklyn belong to?” Xavier replied, “Her father is Gael Brooklyn of the Brooklyn Company.” Then,
Ss went through thements, scanning through them quickly before raising his eyes to ask, “Is the
child okay?” “I think so,” Xavier said. Then, Ss frowned again. “Why does this ce look so simr to
Brian’s restaurant?”
In response, Xavier chuckled. “It is Young Master Brian’s restaurant. It’s the one near the mall. I can’t
believe Young Master Brian supported Miss Brooklyn so much that he even put up a sign like that.”
Meanwhile, Ss fell into deep thought. Brian is never one to poke his nose into somebody else’s
business. Besides, didn’t Cam steal his phonest time? Why would he want to help her? Something’s
not right! Her medical skills are top-notch. Moreover, she earned 50 million just from one consultation.
Why would she need to steal a phone? What am I not getting right? Thus, he took out his phone and
called Landon. The phone rang several times but went unanswered. Because of that, his mood became
more and more irritable. Just as his patience was about to run out, Landon answered the phone. “U-
Uncle!” His voice was hesitant. It seemed like he had debated with himself for a long while before
answering. “Where did you find Cam Brooklyn?” Ss went right to the point. Coupled with his stern
voice, the rm bells in Landon’s head rang loudly. “W-What’s wrong? Is Cam unable to cure Great-
grandpa?” Ss didn’t answer. Instead, he emphatically asked again, “I’m asking you how you got to
know her where she’s from, and how much you know about her. Tell me everything
you know.” Landon didn’t know what was going on; he was so scared that he started stuttering. “1-44-1
met her in Mastar, but her hometown is in Summer City. She is quite a righteous person. Back then, she
saved me when I was being chased by debtors. Also… Also, she is single. Moreover, her medical skills
are top-notch. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked her to go back. Is she unable to cure Great-grandpa?”
Ss replied, “That’s enough; shut up.” Landon waspletely dumbfounded. “Okay.” “How long do you
n to stay away?” Ss asked. Landon didn’t understand the question, so he stupidly went, “Huh?”
“What do you mean by ‘huh? I’m asking you to get your a*s back here. You’re not allowed to sneak away
when youe back. It’s such a pain to get a hold of you.” Landon could tell that Ss didn’t seem to be
angry, so he grinned broadly and said, “U-Uncle, you knew? Uh, are you still angry at me?” Ss snorted,
“I’ll forgive you on ount of your role in saving Grandpa.” “Thanks, Uncle.” Then, he ended the call,
ignoring Landon’s joyful yelling. After mulling over it for a while, he made another call. The phone rang
twice, then a woman’s voice sounded over the phone. “Ss.” “Aunt Cathy, there’s something I wanted to
ask you about. Thest time Brian fainted by the roadside, who was it that sent him to the hospital?” he
asked coldly. On the other hand, the voice on the other side of the phone didn’t seem affected. “It was a
youngdy with the surname Brooklyn. That youngdy was such a nice person; she even helped to pay
for the medical fees. Afterward, I wanted to pay her back, but she refused to ept it. Now that I think
about it, she seemed rather anxious back then.” When he heard those words, he frowned again. A young
lady with the surname Brooklyn… Was it really Cam Brooklyn? Pursing his lips, he asked, “Did she say
what she was rushing to do?” The voice on the phone said, “I think she said she just finished an
interview and was about to go home.”
It really was Cam Brooklyn! Afterward, Ss was so shocked that he fell into a daze. He sat in his chair
without moving for a long while. There was a strange feeling in his chest-this result was out of his
expectations, yet weirdly seemed to fit within reason. Right now, Ss was in a terrible mood. Cam
rescued Brian, yet I said that she had a
poor moral character. Moreover, I threatened to end her career! Feeling rather irritable, he said, “Go and
check the surveince system of the airport on the day we returned to the country. I want to know just
what the hell happened when Cam stole the phone at the airport.”
Thus, Xavier responded in a hurry and quickly left. Ss pinched his temples in irritation, but his heart
was wondering, If Cam isn’t a thief, then how am I supposed to face her?
