Chapter 55 The Suspects
In the evening, Pawel called. The person who injured Hudson has been found, a total of three people, of which two have been found and one escaped.
Maxwell asked Pawel to take them to an abandoned
warehouse in the outskirts.
Soon, Maxwell arrived by car.
Two people were tied up and lying on the ground, with their faces bruised and swollen. It should have been Pawel who did
- it.
Pawel pointed at the chubby person on the ground and said, “Hudson’s leg is the one he broke. They are all fugitives who have taken several lives and work under Jack Wade. The one running is called Andy Hunt, Jack’s right–hand man.”
Jack was a well–known gang leader in this area. It was later discovered that Jack was responsible for what happened to
Svetla back then.
“Who told you to go and hit Hudson?” Maxwell’s face
darkened, completely different from his friendly appearance during the day.
“We worked for money, and knew nothing else,” said the chubby man.
“Don’t know anything?” Maxwell snatched the iron rod from Pawel’s hand and struck him with it.

“Do you know it now?” Maxwell’s voice was ghostly, causing the person on the ground to tremble in fear.
“We only knew that she was Jack’s friend, a woman, but we really didn’t know anything else.”
“Is she a woman? Or Jack’s friend?” Maxwell glanced at Pawel. “Go and investigate this woman.”
“What about these two people then?”
“Handing them over to the police would also be giving Hudson an explanation.”
Camila received the news the next morning that the suspect who had injured Hudson had been captured. It was confirmed that the suspect had acted under the influence of alcohol and there was no one who had instructed them.
The police searched the suspect’s residence last night and found cash totaling over 100 thousand dollars. The two individuals expressed their willingness to use the cash to compensate for Hudson’s medical expenses.
Camila didn’t expect to catch the suspect so quickly, and the issue of medical expenses was also resolved. She finally breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.
But Hudson has been feeling down ever since he found out about his condition. He can’t accept the reality of having to use a wheelchair in the future.
Camila saw Hudson like this and felt overwhelmed with
heartache.

On that day, Dewitt heard about the incident and went to the ward to visit Hudson.
Dewitt said that he knew an orthopedic specialist who was an authoritative expert in bone setting. If Hudson was willing, Dewitt could help to contact that doctor and arrange a surgery for Hudson.
Hudson perked up at the words and ate a lot for lunch.
In the corridor, Camila thanked Dewitt.
“Don’t be so polite with me,” Dewitt said, gripping Camila’s shoulder, mustering up courage. “Camila, I liked you. I hope you can give me a chance to take care of you and your family.”
The sudden confession left Camila at a loss.
“Dr. Booker, I, I had a husband now, I couldn’t agree to your proposal.”
“Then I will wait for you to divorce him. Until then, I won’t do anything to you. I don’t want to make things difficult for you.”
“Dr. Booker, I feel like you deserve a better girl. I am not worthy of you.”
Camila turned around to leave, but Dewitt quickly stopped her. “Camila, I have already told my family that I like you. My mom is supportive, and my dad listens to my mom, so you don’t have to worry about anything. Whether you are
deserving or not, I think you are deserving, and that’s all that matters.”
Camila was extremely flustered when faced with Dewitt, who

was so innocent and sincere. She didn’t know how to refuse him without hurting him.
“What were you doing?” Maxwell’s cold voice suddenly came from one end of the corridor.
Camila quickly withdrew her hand and watched as Maxwell approached step by step, feeling somewhat guilty.
“How did you come?”
“I won’t come back anymore. My wife will run away with someone else.” Maxwell glanced at Dewitt, “I have something private to discuss with Camila, Dr. Booker, do you want to
listen?”
Dewitt awkwardly bid farewell.
“Say whatever you have to say,” Camila said coldly.
“I brought you money. Hudson is in the hospital, and you need money for expenses,” Maxwell said, handing a card to
Camila.
Camila did not answer.
“Take it back, I don’t need it.”
“Are you still mad at me?”
Maxwell, like a child who had done something wrong, had a submissive demeanor that ultimately softened Camila’s heart.
“You hadn’t found a job yet, and you have more expenses than me. Keep it for yourself.”
“I don’t need it,” Maxwell handed the card to Camila. “There

are 16 thousand dollars in this card, given by my grandfather. He said to make sure to save Hudson’s leg at all costs and not to be afraid of spending money.“”
Holding the card with 16 thousand dollars in her hand, tears welled up in her eyes, but in the end, she returned the card.
“You went back to thank Grandpa for me, and Hudson’s medical expenses have been taken care of. From now on, I don’t want to rely on others anymore.”
“Svetla was right when she said that money is everything to me, because I know how important it is for me. Without money, Hudson and I wouldn’t be able to go to college. Without money, my grandmother would just have to wait for death. So, for the sake of money, I sold my marriage. But now I regret it, and I will repay you the dowry and the 80 thousand dollars I owe you as soon as possible. Let’s proceed with the divorce proceedings.”
“Have you made up your mind?” Maxwell looked up,
suppressing all the emotions in his heart. “Then let’s do it your way.”
Camila watched as Maxwell turned away, feeling not the expected relief but rather a deeper sense of oppression.
In the evening, she went home to pack her things. During this time, she planned to stay at her own house. It was close to the hospital and also close to the company.
Raven persuaded for a few moments and then called Maxwell.
Maxwell hung up the phone without saying anything.
At that moment, Svetla’s phone rang.

For a while, Maxwell didn’t respond at all, burying his head in the documents as if he hadn’t heard anything.
Pawel felt that something was off as soon as he walked in. He remained silent and listened quietly as Maxwell’s phone kept vibrating incessantly.
When the phone finally stopped ringing, Maxwell looked up. “Please help me find a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement as soon as possible.”
“Yes,” Pawel said, surprised but not saying anything.
“Do you think that me marrying Camila was just a mistake?” Maxwell put down his pen, feeling exhausted.
“You may have forgotten the purpose of marrying Ms. Lambert.”
“Hmm?” Maxwell raised an eyebrow.
“Mr. Starling, your marriage with Ms. Lambert was originally a transaction. One provided the money, the other provided the person. Transactions themselves have no emotions, but both of you unknowingly developed feelings, which made this transaction unable to continue.”
Maxwell seemed to understand, and yet seemed to not understand.
“Are you saying that Camila also had feelings for me?”
“Mr. Starling, you were oblivious. If Ms. Lambert had no feelings for you, why would she be unhappy seeing you with Ms. Felton? Although Ms. Lambert may not show any grievances on the surface, she must have been deeply hurt.

inside.”
“So that’s why she wanted to divorce me?”
