Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law

Chapter 839 - 836: When Rivals in Love Finally Meet (1)

After Camila Ruiz yelled, she once again forcefully pushed Jimmy Horne away. This time she turned around and instead of running outside, she headed into the office building.

She didn’t drive to work, and outside was the street. If she couldn’t outrun him, and he grabbed her like just now, pulling and tugging in the street, it would be embarrassing beyond measure. Even though her actions were very low-key, the media still liked to focus on her. Outsiders were spreading rumors that she and Ivan Horne were lovers, engaged to be married. If the media learned that she was tugging and pulling with Jimmy Horne in the street, they would surely report it recklessly and anger a bunch of people.

She’s not worried about her reputation being damaged; she worries that the newspaper would suffer miserably.

She ran swiftly, as if a hungry tiger were chasing her.

Jimmy Horne didn’t expect her to turn back, hesitated for ten seconds, then immediately chased after her.

"Camila."

Jimmy Horne called softly.

He couldn’t hide his inner panic.

In fact, he was very afraid when she got angry. As a child, when he made her angry, he was internally panicked, outwardly stubbornly holding it in, especially that time he snatched her bow, her silent tears, that scene, even after a decade, remained fresh in his memory.

Camila Ruiz got into the elevator, quickly pressing the elevator door, but Jimmy Horne was a step too late, swearing again in frustration.

All the employees on the first floor were confused by the two people, and their curiosity was aroused.

Camila Ruiz is the CEO’s goddaughter, the precious daughter of Ruiz’s assistant, Ivan Horne’s cherished woman, how could she get entangled with a stranger?

Sharp-eyed employees saw Jimmy Horne holding Camila Ruiz in his arms.

They were so shocked that their eyes were as big as copper bells.

Even though Ivan Horne is just a manager now, his temperament is as unpredictable as his father’s, and the aura surrounding him makes people not dare to be presumptuous before him. Who would dare touch the woman he cherishes? This man actually dared to forcibly hold Camila Ruiz in his arms! Moreover, they recognized this stranger as the young, handsome, and coldly exuding man who had returned to the company with Ivan Horne.

Jimmy Horne immediately also entered the CEO’s special elevator, once again surprising the employees.

Just now when Ivan Horne brought him in, they had taken the management’s elevator.

After getting into the elevator, Jimmy Horne took out his phone to call Ivan Horne; since Camila had returned to the office, he needed Ivan to help intercept her.

"How’s that, I said it would happen." Ivan Horne was already sitting in his office chair. He comfortably leaned back, then rotated the chair back and forth, his face showing a gloating smile.

Seeing Camila running out like mad, he knew she was angry.

"At this moment, don’t provoke me!" Jimmy Horne yelled in frustration, his face full of black lines.

Ivan Horne laughed, "Okay, I won’t provoke you; for the sake of us being brothers, I’ll help intercept Camila. You hurry up."

"Why don’t you make your company’s elevator faster."

"The elevator speed is the same; you ran slowly yourself. Don’t blame the elevator of my company." Ivan Horne teased, touching his nose.

Knowing at this moment that he was gloating, Jimmy Horne was too lazy to quibble with him further and hung up the phone.

He called Camila Ruiz, the call connected, but no one answered.

Camila Ruiz had left her phone on her desk; even if he called until the phone exploded, she wouldn’t pick up.

The phone rang for a minute, and Jimmy Horne resignedly hung up.

Meanwhile, after entering the elevator again, Camila Ruiz got out when it reached the second floor, then switched to the stairs. She figured Jimmy Horne would definitely catch up, so she made a tactical retreat.

Now that Jimmy had rushed to the thirty-second floor, she quickly walked down the stairs and hurriedly walked outside.

"Camila, why?"

The front desk clerk looked at her in confusion.

"Shh—don’t say anything." Camila quickly gestured for silence to the two colleagues, then switched to running, ran out of the office building, quickly ran out of Valence Group, and outside hailed a taxi, instructed the driver, "Take me to Twick Shoe Factory in the Third Industrial Zone."

The taxi driver said nothing, started the engine, and drove off.

Sitting in the car, only then did Camila come to her senses. Suddenly, her heart wrenched, her nose tingled, her eyes reddened, and she felt an urge to cry.

Leaning against the car seat, she thought of her worries about Jimmy Horne in recent days, thought about waiting for him for eight years, and ended up with his teasing.

Although he didn’t bring back a woman like Xue Pinggui to spite her, no, who knows if he brought back a woman. She had waited eight years, and it was a painful wait. Eight years, she waited for him from being an innocent girl to now understanding everything as an adult. Eight years, a long time, not eight days, not eight months, eight years, two thousand nine hundred days, how many people are willing to spend eight years waiting for someone?

She doesn’t blame him for making her wait for eight years, but he shouldn’t have treated her like this.

He doesn’t know how worried she is about him, always worried something would happen to him, but he...

Unconsciously, tears of grievance slipped down her pretty cheeks.

Camila Ruiz lifted her hand angrily, wiping the tears with the back of her hand.

"Miss, are you okay?"

The driver saw her crying in the rearview mirror and kindly asked.

Camila shook her head, but the tears fell even more fiercely.

The driver saw she didn’t want to talk, and it wasn’t good to inquire further, assuming she had quarreled with her boyfriend, he advised, "Young people often have conflicts, no matter what happens, as long as you find the problem, it can be resolved easily. Don’t be angry, getting sick only makes yourself suffer."

"Uncle, thank you."

Although Camila didn’t tell the driver why she cried, she sincerely thanked his kindness.

She didn’t bring her phone or any money, once she arrived at Charles Colson’s place, she could only ask him to pay the fare for her.

At this moment, she could only go to Charles Colson’s place to find some quiet.

Going home, Jimmy Horne would definitely look for her, the Horne Family is even more off-limits, wandering outside, it likely wouldn’t even take half an hour for him to find her. She didn’t know his influence, but Brother Ivan is quite influential; as soon as Ivan makes a call, he’d still find her.

It’s not certain that Twick Shoe Factory is completely safe, at least Charles Colson would protect her, not let him easily meet her.

If Jimmy Horne knew that when Camila Ruiz was wronged she went to find Charles Colson, he might drown in jealousy.
