Chapter 6: Family Scores

"Miss Camilla?"

Augustin and Victoria's expressions stiffened simultaneously.

Why would this impertinent girl wake up at this moment?!

Camilla was dressed in a loose white long dress, her seaweed-like chestnut long curls lazily scattered behind her.

Her bright eyes are as white as teeth, skin as fair as snow.

Her delicate face did not hold a trace of blood, yet somehow, it added a touch of frail and shattered appeal.

She was beautiful, breathtakingly so.

Jealousy flashed through Clara's eyes.

Camilla's face, each time she looked at it, it filled her with discontent.

"Young Lady--" Carlos stood up from the sofa, his face bearing undisguised respect.

The Young Lady's beauty, is even more outstanding than in the photos.

The old man will certainly be very pleased. But as for the Young Master...

well, let's take it slow. Seeing this, Augustin and his group could only uncomfortably stand up to greet Camilla.

Camilla looked at Carlos, a subtle smile on her face.

"Mr. Carlos, please have a seat."

She held herself with elegance and poise, acting as if she were the owner of the villa.

But only she knew that her heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

Uncle Carlos was Ramsey's father, as well as the butler of the Luther Family.

Seeing him meant that she would meet Sinclair soon. The man who had held her in his arms as they both tragically died.

A bitter feeling started to form in the depths of Camilla's heart.

Carlos sat down, his smile much more genuine than when he was facing Augustin and the others.

"If the young madam doesn't mind, you can call me Uncle Carlos like the young master does."

"Yes," Camilla nodded with a slight smile; it was more natural to call him Uncle Carlos, especially since she still had the memories of her past life.

"Uncle Carlos." "Camilla," Augustin looked at Camilla with slight furrows on her brow, his face filled with worry.

"Do you still have a headache?"

Seeing Augustine's hypocritical demeanor, the corners of Camilla's mouth curled up slightly and nonchalantly addressed him.

"I'm much better."

"As long as you're feeling better," Victoria sat down next to Camilla, holding her hand in one hand and wiping the corner of her tear-free eyes with the other.

"Your uncle and I have been worried for two days without sleep, afraid of that..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Camilla withdrew her hand and glanced sideways at Uncle Carlos, smiling faintly.

"Uncle Carlos,, did you just say that these are my betrothal gifts from Master Luther?"

The interruption made Victoria freeze; her face was a mixture of pale and green.

Usually, a hint of gentleness from her would make this wretched girl act as if she'd received a great honor.

Did she take the wrong medicine today?! A shade of displeasure flashed through Clara's eyes.

Concerned that his wife and daughter might say something inappropriate in front of the Luther Family, Augustin subtly signaled them with a glance.

Uncle Carlos had been in the Luther Family for several decades, his ability to read people and situations had reached the highest level.

He took in the expressions of the three Augustin people and made some calculations in his head.

"Yes," In regards to Camilla, Uncle Carlos's attitude became increasingly respectful.

He detailed the amount of money in the card he had, as well as the exact location of the two mansions.

The Sanchez family's appetite is really not small, he thought.

A hint of sarcasm flashed through Camilla's downcast beautiful eyes. In her past life, she had no idea about the concept of a dowry.

"This dowry is somewhat too lavish."

During this conversation, Camilla pushed the box in front of her towards Uncle Carlos.

The implication was self-evident. Augustine's couple both showed signs of desperation.

What the heck was this foolish girl doing?

"The old master specially instructed that as the Luther Family wife, the entire Luther Family will belong to you in the future," Uncle Sanchez offered up the box with both hands again, his face full of sincerity.

"These are but a small token of appreciation from the Luther Family, please, young lady, you must accept it."

Upon hearing this, the jealousy in Clara's eyes was barely concealed.

A complex look passed between Augustin and Victoria.

"That's right, Camilla," Augustin feared that Camilla would impulsively reject it again, thus he immediately interjected with a smile.

"The betrothal gifts demonstrate the Luther Family's regard for you.

If we refuse them, it would seem as if our family doesn't know the norms."

Victoria nodded in agreement, her chubby face beaming with a smile once again.

"Your uncle is right, accept them."

Camilla's beautiful eyes squinted, the expression one could not discern whether it was a smile or not, and a cool temperature pooled in her eyes.

Whatever was offered by the Luther Family was always given without expectation of return.

Her action just now was simply for the amusement of the Sanchez family's people.

How amusing indeed.

After ten seconds silence, Sanchez accepted it with a demeanor that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"If that's the case, then I'll accept it." Uncle Carlos nodded satisfactorily.

A sense of relief washed over Augustin and the other two. However, at this moment, Camilla's sweet and gentle voice rang out again.

"Since the betrothal gifts have been accepted, I should also prepare my dowry."

Upon hearing 'dowry', the two words caused Augustin and Victoria's eyebrows to twitch. What was Camilla up to now?

A look of dismay appeared on Clara's face, which was decorated with sophisticated makeup.

"But after my grandfather's accident, I have been living with my uncle. It wouldn't be right to trouble him with the matter of my dowry..."

Camilla looked down, exuding a pitiful vibe. Uncle Carlos looked at Augustin.

The expression on Augustine face froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Camilla, don't say it like that.

Your aunt and I have always treated you like our own daughter. It's only right for us to take care of the dowry for you."

Victoria nodded with a smile, but she secretly stepped on Augustine's foot.

Augustin winced in pain from the foot, but showed no signs of discomfort on his face.

When he spoke again, he tactfully changed the subject.

"However, the Sanchez Corporation has been having some troubles recently.

Your uncle here is willing to help but lacks resources.

Fortunately, a family like the Luther Family certainly wouldn't mind."

Uncle Carlos didn't speak, but the look in his eyes seemed somewhat indifferent as he looked at Augustin.

"I understand, uncle.

That's why I do not want you to prepare anything," Camilla nodded her understanding, seemingly aged beyond her years.

"Fortunately, my grandfather transferred the ownership of the courtyard and a small hospital to me before he disappeared.

Let's consider these as my dowry." She glanced sideways at Augustin with a faint smile playing about her lips.

"What do you say, uncle?"

A courtyard and a hospital? Augustin and his wife's faces turned pale. While Camilla had been unconscious, they had already sold these two properties, using all the money to fill the coffers of the Sanchez Corporation.

How could they produce these elements for Camilla's dowry now?! Clara glared at Camilla, her expression visibly darkening at a rapid pace.

Damn brat!!

"Since these are left to Miss Camilla by the old master, the Sanchez family naturally has no reason to disagree," Uncle Carlos seemed to have perceived something, his gaze fell on Augustin undisturbed. "What do you say, Mr. Sanchez?"

"With this..." Augustin was at a loss for words, unable to reject given the Luther Family's clear stance.

Mr. Carlos is right." Uncle Carlos nodded. Victoria's face fell. She muttered incoherently, unable to utter a word.

Her eyes remained fixed on Camilla, a complex look in them.

Camilla ignored it and continued to smile sweetly, looking even more delicate.

"That would be a bother.

Uncle, please send the property ownership documents for the courtyard and medical clinic to the Luther Family as soon as possible."

Under Uncle Carlos's watchful gaze, Augustin reluctantly nodded.

"Madam, the elder master specifically instructed me to come and fetch you."

Uncle Carlos looked at Camilla and said softly.

"Since everything has been settled, shall we leave?"

Luther Manor.

Will she see Sinclair soon? Suppressing the bitterness rising from her heart, Camilla stood up from her seat.

"Let's go."

Uncle Carlos also stood up and immediately followed behind her.

The expressionless mercenary behind her picked up the box on the table and followed her out. She's leaving just like that?!

They, the Sanchez family, didn't receive a single penny of the expensive betrothal gifts!! Victoria was taken aback, immediately tugging at Augustine's arm.

"Camilla" Augustin quickly got up to retain her. "You just woke up, why don't you rest at home for a night, visit the Luther Family when you're better."

"I don't need to," Camilla turned her head, her eyes icy cold.

"I believe the Luther Family's conditions for recuperation are not worse than the Sanchez's, and also," Her beautiful eyes flickered, turning to the sullen-faced Clara, faking a smile. "

If it was truly an accident that Clara pushed me down the stairs, I'm alright now.

You shouldn't blame yourselves, nor should you blame her."

Before she could finish her sentence, Camilla already headed for the door without looking back.

The young lady got pushed down the stairs by someone from the Sanchez family? Uncle Carlos's face completely darkened.

It seemed he guessed right. Madam Camilla's life in the Sanchez family was not as good as it appeared on the surface.

"I will take you to the hospital for a thorough check-up right away.

If there indeed exists any underlying issues, neither the old master nor the young master could bear the blame when it comes out."

The implication in his words was self-explanatory. A hint of panic flashed in the eyes of the three Shens, Augustin included.

They wanted to say something, but Camilla and Uncle Carlos did not give them any chance to interject, and left the hall. Inside the vehicle.

Looking at the Sanchez family mansion in the rearview mirror that was getting further and further away, a cold smirk surged in Camilla's eyes. It's not yet time to settle the scores with the Sanchez family.

She would wait for the person who instigated the Sanchez family to kill her to emerge.

She would wait for the Sanchez family to reach its peak before letting them plummet into the abyss.
