Chapter 3
Camilla was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis.
But she refused treatment.
Not only that, she also raised her hand and hit her belly hard. “Let me die in pain. So many people saw me being beaten. I have no face to live. Mr. Baldwin, let me die!” Camilla cried and shouted. Even though she looked like she was looking for death, she still did not forget to get into Tommy’s arms.
Tommy was very distressed. While comforting Camilla, he said to Noelle, who was standing at the door. “Apologize.”
“What did you say?”
Even though she knew who Tommy’s heart was with now, Noelle still couldn’t help but feel a chill when she heard this.
She was stubborn and resolute, rarely gave in to others.
In the past, even if she made a mistake accidentally, Tommy would stand in front of her and apologize for her. But now, Tommy was holding another woman in his arms, asking her to apologize to the wrong party.
“I said, kneel down and apologize to Camilla.”
Tommy repeated it again. Looking at the two people in a stalemate, Camilla burst into tears again.
She broke Tommy’s hand and was about to jump out of the window. Tommy nervously hugged her waist tightly. “Camilla, calm down. Don’t worry, I will make her apologize.”
The next moment, Tommy looked at Noelle with no patience in his eyes. “I’ll say it one last time, apologize, otherwise think about your parents. As far as I know, your father accidentally fell from the upstairs and is now in the hospital for treatment?”
Noelle’s fists clenched suddenly when he mentioned her parents.
The scene before her death in the last life was still vivid. She saw her parents drowned by the sea with her own eyes.
She didn’t want to experience that kind of pain for the second time in her life.
“Tommy, you are simply heartless,” Noelle said this sentence almost with gritted teeth. She thought that it was Camilla’s death in the last life that stimulated Tommy, so he would do such an extreme thing, but she didn’t expect that he was a bad person in his bones.
Tommy did not respond and the threat in his eyes became more and more obvious.
Under the gaze of the medical staff in the ward, Noelle slowly knelt down.
Her knees fell on the cold floor, hard and painful.
But it was not as painful as the pain in her heart.
“I’m sorry, Miss Spencer. Please forgive me.” Noelle was a proud person. Saying such words in public was tantamount to torture, but Camilla pretended that she could not hear it and forced Noelle to say it three times.
Each time was louder than the last.
“I’m sorry, Miss Spencer. Please forgive me.”
“I’m sorry, Miss Spencer. Please don’t be angry with me.”
“I’m sorry, Miss Spencer. Your health is important. Please forgive me.”
In every word, Noelle’s eyes were red.
That was an insult from the depths of her soul.
Finally, Camilla snorted with satisfaction and reluctantly allowed the nurse next to her to come forward and give her an injection.
She was shaking like a sieve and hugged Tommy tightly. “Mr. Baldwin, I’m scared.”
“I’m here.” Tommy didn’t even spare a glance for Noelle, but hugged Camilla and let her bite his wrist. The purple teeth marks seemed like Camilla’s silent declaration of war.
She was declaring her sovereignty.
Tommy didn’t understand, but Noelle did.
She sneered, got up and went home.
She thought Tommy wouldn’t come back at night, but late at night, she felt someone standing by the bed.
It was Tommy.
Almost at the same time, when Noelle opened her eyes, Tommy knelt down. “Noelle, please save Camilla.”
Chapter 4
“Today’s incident somehow got out. People are saying that Camilla is the third party. She wants to commit suicide now.”
Suicide again.
She wanted to commit suicide after being slapped. She wanted to commit suicide after being talked about.
But it was clear that Camilla, who was selfish, must be selfish and cherish her life.
“Then let her die. Besides, isn’t she the mistress? Tommy, don’t think that I can’t see the flirting between you. You are the same as her, which makes me feel sick.” Noelle was about to lie down after saying that.
Tommy grabbed her shoulders.
His voice was trembling and his eyes were earnest.
“She is still young. She can’t just die like this. Noelle, you are my wife. Just do a good deed for me. Let’s pretend to divorce and I will give her a name, okay? Save her life.”
Noelle couldn’t believe her ears.
Her husband of eight years actually begged her to give the mistress a name.
But divorce was what she wanted.
Even if it was fake, what could it do? The contract had been signed anyway. When she got the divorce certificate, the fake would become real.
“Okay,” Noelle responded and Tommy almost cried with joy, but he didn’t leave and knelt there.
“Anything else?”
“Necklace… Wife, give me the necklace.”
Hearing this, Noelle was stunned.
The necklace was a family heirloom of the Baldwin Family and it was only passed on to the daughter-in-law recognized by the Baldwin Family.
Back then, when Tommy proposed to her. He solemnly put the necklace on her and announced in front of everyone that she, Noelle, would be the owner of the necklace from now on. But now, he actually wanted to give the necklace to Camilla so easily.
However, there was no greater sorrow than the death of the heart. From the day she planned to leave, Noelle didn’t care about anything.
She took off the necklace expressionlessly and threw it to Tommy.
She didn’t want the necklace anymore and she didn’t want Tommy either.
Tommy carefully took the necklace and left, not noticing that their wedding photo hanging on the bedside had been taken down at some point; the gifts that Noelle had hung up like treasures were also gone.
In the following days, Tommy did not go home.
But Noelle knew his whereabouts very well.
Camilla took the necklace out with great fanfare and flaunted it in the streets, claiming to be Mrs. Baldwin. At all banquets that required a female companion, Camilla stood beside Tommy. People in the circle knew it tacitly and no one had embarrassed the two in public.
Until Camilla began to show her innocence everywhere again.
She added cocoa to Mr. Morris’ champagne, who was severely allergic to coffee, under the pretext of desensitization training; when Mr. Reynard’s daughter celebrated her birthday, she blew out the candles first, saying that she wanted to share in the good fortune; even when Tommy was discussing cooperation with someone, she rushed over and slapped the other person several times, angrily scolding others for seducing Tommy...
One after another, Baldwin Group reputation in the circle declined rapidly.
For this reason, Tommy almost lost an old customer with whom he had cooperated for many years.
In desperation, he begged Noelle.
“Baldwin Group is our common hard work. You must not have the heart to stand by and watch, right? Noelle, help me.”
He thought it would take some effort, but Noelle agreed immediately.
She made an appointment with the other party to meet in a restaurant, but the contract was finalized again during a meal. But it was not signed in the name of Baldwin Group, but in the name of his rival company, the Richardson Group.
[You’ve already brought in such a big business before you even started working. You’ve done a good job.]
Looking at the message on her phone, Noelle replied expressionlessly: [There are still six days left before the one-month deadline. Don’t forget what you promised me.]
After doing all this, Noelle went to the company.
In the office, she showed the signed contract to Tommy and quickly took it back before he could see it clearly. Tommy sat on the office chair with a strange look on his face and the smile on his face was far-fetched and a little… intoxicated.
Just as Noelle was puzzled, a sound of saliva suddenly came from under the large desk.
As an adult woman, Noelle immediately understood what happened here.
Tommy didn’t know that he had been exposed. He put one hand under his body and secretly held Camilla’s head. The sound from his throat was forbearing and ambiguous. “If you have nothing to do, go back first. I have a meeting later.”
After eight years of marriage, Noelle knew Tommy well enough.
When he was emotional, his Adam’s apple would roll uncontrollably.
In the past, Noelle would think that he looked very sexy, but now, looking at his rolling Adam’s apple, Noelle just felt disgusted.
In her previous life, when she wanted to divorce, Tommy swore to heaven that he had never done anything beyond the rules. In the two years after sending Camilla away, she made love with Tommy more than once.
But it was clear... less than a month after the eighth anniversary, this so-called innocent assistant knelt under his crotch.
That thing might have been stained with Camilla’s smell.
Thinking of this, Noelle couldn’t help but cover her mouth and rushed out to vomit.
She held her throat and almost vomited bile. Physiological tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes. After an unknown period of time, she squatted down in embarrassment, leaning against the wall, laughing at her own patheticness.
Chapter 5
After the two of them divorced in name, Noelle gradually faded out of the public eye.
Tommy explained that this was to reassure Camilla. He thought that Noelle would not agree to it according to her strong personality, but he did not expect Noelle to nod after just a moment of hesitation. Tommy was eager to tell Camilla the news and did not notice the relaxed smile in Noelle’s eyes.
She was worried about how to tell Tommy.
After all, in a few days, she would be a member of Richardson Group.
Noelle enjoyed the life of sleeping until she woke up naturally. Over the years, she had devoted herself to Baldwin Group and could not remember how long she had not had a good rest.
That day, she slept until the sun was high in the sky and just got up, she saw a familiar figure in the living room.
“Noelle, why are you still here? I’m pregnant. If you know what’s good for you, get out of the Baldwin Family!”
When Camilla saw Noelle coming downstairs, she strode up to her. She didn’t have the timidity of a little assistant at all. She only had the majesty of Mrs. Baldwin. “You and Tommy are divorced now. Why are you still here?”
Looking at Camilla’s arrogant look, Noelle couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Only then did she notice the suitcase behind Camilla.
Noelle didn’t say anything, but gently cast her eyes on Camilla’s flat belly.
It turned out that a man could really eat at home with two families.
Two days ago, when she was about to move out, Tommy wanted to kneel down and beg her to stay. The scene was still vivid in her mind. Now the pregnant mistress had come to question her.
“Noelle, don’t you understand what I’m saying to you?!”
Camilla’s face turned red with anger and she raised her hand to step forward, but just before her slap landed on Noelle’s face, she suddenly turned around and fell straight to the ground, tears falling instantly. “Mrs. Stephens, even if you don’t like me, you can’t hit me, right? I’m pregnant now.”
“What are you talking about?” Noelle frowned.
The next moment, Tommy suddenly rushed out.
He pushed Noelle away, picked up Camilla without saying a word and walked out. “I’ll take you to the hospital. Noelle, you’d better pray that Camilla is okay.”
After leaving these words, the door of the Baldwin Family was heavily closed.
Looking at Tommy’s back, Noelle suddenly felt it was ridiculous. They had experienced this kind of drama countless times. When Baldwin Group’s business just gained a firm foothold, there would always be some girls who appeared inexplicably to provoke her and then hurt themselves to wrongly accuse her.
In the past, Tommy would only hold her in his arms and say in a sonorous voice, “My wife will never do such a thing.”
But now, in the same drama, he didn’t even ask and believed another person.
Noelle thought she would not feel heartache for a long time, but she still couldn’t help but feel a sore nose. She suppressed the disappointment rising in her heart and turned back to the room, but more than ten minutes later, she was suddenly pulled out of the quilt.
Tommy was panting, his eyes were scarlet.
“Where’s Camilla?” Noelle looked at Tommy in confusion. “Why are you crazy? Didn’t you take her away?”
“She’s pregnant and you pushed her. She’s in a bad state. Noelle, ask your people to send her back. I beg you…” Tommy said pleading words, but his eyes were full of cruelty.
