FULL NOVELXO Chapter 42
Chapter 42 Camila Gets Angry
That evening, Maxwell did not stay at the villa but went to Svetla’s place because Larissa kept calling him, saying that Svetla hadn’t eaten all day and was crying non–stop.
Maxwell had to rush over that night.
As he entered the door, a delicate figure rushed into his arms.
“Maxwell, I thought you didn’t want me anymore.”
“Don’t overthink,” Maxwell comforted as he asked Larissa to bring the food.
Svetla still held onto Maxwell tightly. Her current lack of security was a stark contrast to her former confident self, which made Maxwell feel a pang of heartache.
Larissa placed the food on the table. Maxwell pulled Svetla to sit at the dining table.
“You fed me,” Svetla pouted.
Maxwell glanced at the steak on his plate. He paused for a moment, suddenly remembering the jealous yet slightly shy expression on Camila’s face when she fed him steak back in Oclia.
“Maxwell, what’s wrong with you?” Svetla noticed that Maxwell didn’t look right.
Maxwell suddenly realized that he had just zoned out and quickly picked up a piece of steak and stuffed it into Svetla’s

“Maxwell, do you have something on your mind?” Svetla
appeared carefree, but in reality, she was very perceptive and sensitive.
“No. Why do you ask?”
“I felt that you were absent–minded. Is it because of work matters?”
“Don’t worry. I was fine,” Maxwell mechanically fed another bite of steak to Svetla.
This time, Svetla did not eat. She said she was full. Then, she asked Maxwell to accompany her to the room to put her to sleep.
Maxwell stopped as he walked to the door of the room.
“I had a video conference to attend in a while: You go to sleep first, and don’t forget to take your medicine before bed.”
“You have another meeting,” Svetla pouted, wrapping her arms around Maxwell’s neck. “Can’t you soothe me to sleep before going to the meeting? Please?”
Maxwell gently pulled Svetla’s arm and affectionately tapped her head. “You’re all grown up, and yet you still want me to put you to sleep?”
“I wanted you to coax me to sleep!” Svetla continued to act spoiled.
“Be good. I’ll come and accompany you after I finish my work. You go to sleep first.”

“Do you keep your word?” Svetla knew that Maxwell was intentionally avoiding her, but she didn’t want to expose him.
Maxwell nodded. He pushed Svetla into the room and helped her close the door.
As Svetla listened to Maxwell’s departing footsteps outside the door, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and flowed uncontrollably.
She leaned against the door panel and slid down onto the carpet, feeling that the man had been getting further and further away from her.
Five years is enough to change everything.
Svetla had to face reality, but that didn’t mean she had to accept it. She decided that she would find a way to bring Maxwell back to her side, no matter the cost.
That night, for Camila, was destined to be a sleepless night.
She tossed and turned, unable to close her eyes until dawn.
She boarded the bus with dark circles under her eyes and returned to the village to see Gemma.
Gemma’s body recovered well and she looked fine. When the neighbors saw Camila coming back, they all came over to see her, asking her questions non–stop. For a while, Gemma’s house was very lively.
At this moment, Gemma’s neighbor, Kathy Edward, who was in her freshman year, quietly pulled Camila aside and asked, “Camila, did you participate in an audition competition?”
“Yeah, what’s wrong?”

“Did you check the comments section online today? Netizens were all criticizing you, and their words were really harsh.”
Camila opened her phone and glanced at the comments section. Sure enough, a bunch of people were criticizing her, calling her a bad woman.
One internet user, with the username “Maxstar,” revealed that Camila not only cheated on her boyfriend while they were living together, but also took over her boyfriend’s house after a hasty marriage. Consequently, she caused her best friend to end up in jail.
There were over one hundred thousand comments under this
disclosure.
Some people say that Camila looks quite innocent, but she is actually very good at playing with men’s emotions.
Some people also said that she must have used some improper means to make it to the final audition. Maybe she slept with some man.
There were also uncivilized people who directly insulted her as a slut and a whore.
Camila was so angry that her hands were shaking.
She thought, “How can this person called ‘Maxstar‘ be so good at talking nonsense?”
“The key is, there were so many people who commented without knowing the truth.”
“Camila, I think someone was up to something behind this,” Kathy said.

Camila’s gaze fell upon the post of a netizen named “Maxstar“. She recalled Maxwell mentioning to her last night about asking her to withdraw from the audition. Could it be that Maxwell is Maxstar?
Camila didn’t want to doubt him, but she knew that there weren’t many people who knew about her and Samson. Besides Maxwell, who else could there be?
At this point, Camila made an excuse about having something to do at home and left without even eating.
On the way back, she endured and endured, but still dialed Maxwell’s phone number.
The phone rang a few times and then was hung up.
Camila grew angrier and repeatedly dialed his phone.
Maxwell was having a meeting. His phone was ringing non- stop like crazy.
The vice president and executives looked at Maxwell’s stern expression, feeling nervous for the person making the phone call.
A few days ago, a customer kept calling Maxwell’s phone. At that time, they were having a meeting. As a result, Maxwell got angry and blocked that customer.
The air pressure in the conference room was getting lower and lower, and no one dared to speak. The only sound in the room was the vibration of Maxwell’s phone.
Finally, Maxwell couldn’t bear it any longer and answered the phone.

But surprisingly, Maxwell did not get angry. “I am in a meeting. I will call you back later.”
“Maxwell, you are so despicable!” Camila couldn’t bear it for even a minute.
“I had already agreed with you last night, why are you treating me like this?”
Camila’s voice was loud, coming from the other end of the phone. Everyone in the meeting room was startled.
They wondered, “Who is calling? How dare that woman shout at Mr. Starling on the phone!”
Maxwell, with a gloomy expression on his face, did not immediately get angry but suppressed his anger and asked, “What happened?”
“Are you still acting? Maxwell, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of man. You’re just a jerk!”
Camila got so angry that she hung up the phone.
Her mind was in a mess. She didn’t know why Maxwell treated her like this. Clearly, she had already agreed to him.
Did Maxwell really distrust her like this?
Or, one could say that Maxwell was afraid she would change her mind, so he resorted to such methods to force her?
In the meeting room, after Maxwell dismissed everyone, he made a phone call to Pawel.
He learned from Pawel that Camila had been slandered. Currently, Svetla’s votes have surpassed Camila’s.

Maxwell furrowed his brow.
The “Maxstar” was an account he registered many years ago, and he has even forgotten about it. Why was that account suddenly being used by someone else and used to post so many derogatory comments about Camila?
After Camila returned to the Starling’s place, she locked herself in her room and didn’t come out for dinner.
Around nine o’clock, Maxwell came back.
Camila was daydreaming in her room when she heard a knock on the door. “Who is it?”
“It was me. Open the door.”
Hearing that it was Maxwell outside the door, Camila’s anger flared up again.
“I slept.”
“I have something to tell you,” Maxwell pushed the door forcefully.
