Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law

Chapter 842 - 839: When Rivals in Love Finally Meet (4)

When dealing with a love rival, the more ruthless, the better.

The woman he had waited for eight years, why should Jimmy Horne take her away? What's more infuriating is that Jimmy actually let Camila wait for him for eight years. How many eight years does a person have in life? Waiting for eight years is not enough; he even mocks Camila like this. At this moment, Charles cursed Jimmy eighteen times in his heart.

Camila is his treasure, and he would never bear to harm her even a little. He cares for her no less than Ivan does. How dare Jimmy mock Camila and betray her; he deserves to be cursed.

"Charles, he might really be busy, you know, his status..." Camila Ruiz didn't continue. Jimmy is the young master of the Flames Gate, a status that cannot be casually shared with others. Even though Charles is one of her most trusted people, she cannot tell him. Hearing Charles harshly criticize Jimmy made her uncomfortable.

"Camila, you're still defending him. Maybe he's brought a foreign girl back. Otherwise, how could he not answer your calls for a whole week? Perhaps he's guilty, afraid to face you, and that's why he's acting like this."

Oh Jimmy, with just one seemingly heartfelt unexpected surprise, you've given your rival a chance to damage you. It's like you've shot yourself in the foot.

"No, I absolutely believe he wouldn't betray me!" Camila reacted strongly, firmly believing in Jimmy's fidelity to love.

Charles's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Camila to trust Jimmy so much.

It seems very difficult to defeat Jimmy and win over Camila.

"Charles, I'm fine now. I've figured it out and let it go. I overreacted just now. I'm heading back. I haven't seen Billy in eight years. I'm willing to give him a chance to explain why." Camila stood up, smiled apologetically at Charles, and then turned to leave.

Charles's face changed again. He knew Camila's personality; her temper flares up quickly and dissipates just as fast. No matter how big the issue, she soon sees it calmly.

He couldn't even take the opportunity to damage his rival, frustrating!

"Camila, let me give you a ride."

Charles stopped dwelling on the previous topic. If he kept persisting, it would reveal flaws and damage his image in Camila's mind. He stood up and followed Camila as she walked out.

Camila didn't refuse.

When passing by the secretary's desk, she suddenly stopped and pulled Charles aside, whispering: "Charles, I didn't bring any money with me. I borrowed some from your secretary earlier. Can you repay her for me? I'll return it to you when I get home tonight."

Charles laughed indulgently, agreeing, "Sure, I'll repay her for you. How much? You don't need to repay me. We're family; no need to stand on ceremony."

Camila held out five fingers, and Charles repaid five hundred yuan to the secretary on her behalf. Then he led her into the elevator.

Charles had just driven out of the factory gate with Camila when Jimmy arrived.

"Camila!" Seeing Camila indeed come to find Charles and sitting in his car, Jimmy immediately stopped his car, got out, blocked Charles's car, and tapped on the passenger seat window, calling out to Camila inside.

Camila didn't expect him to find this place and quickly got out of the car.

"Billy, I just..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jimmy had already eagerly pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly.

As soon as Charles got out of the car, he saw this scene, and it instantly pained him, unable to hide the jealousy in his heart.

"Camila, don't say anything. I'm sorry, it's my fault." After hugging her for a while, Jimmy released her, holding her hand and speaking tenderly and affectionately, "Let's talk about it when we get back, okay?"

Camila nodded. They hadn't seen each other in eight years, and there were so many things to talk about.

As for what just happened, she could treat it as an interlude.

Jimmy led her to his car.

Charles took a few steps forward, calling out, "Camila, you forgot..."

"Boom!"

A loud explosion suddenly came from behind them.

Charles's BMW somehow caught fire on its own. The fire was intense, engulfing the entire car in flames in an instant.

Jimmy's face changed dramatically, instinctively holding Camila, his hands trembling slightly.

Charles's expression was no better than Jimmy's. He stared dumbfounded at his car burning in the roaring flames, his face turning from black to blue, his body trembling uncontrollably.

The security guards immediately brought extinguishers from the security room to put out the fire, but by the time the fire was out, his car was already charred.

If Jimmy hadn't arrived, Charles and Camila would have perished in the fire.

If Camila hadn't changed her mind and gotten out of the car, they would have still been consumed by the flames.

If...

The three of them dared not think further.

Death itself had just reached out a black hand towards them.

"How long have you had your car?" Jimmy asked coldly, holding a still trembling, pale-faced Camila, speaking coolly to Charles.

"Just a year."

Charles's face also turned serious, with a look of pain deep in his eyes.

A BMW is a brand car, and it's new, often maintained, so it wouldn't self-combust for no reason. Someone must have tampered with his car, intending to kill him.

There's only one person who wants him dead or to be burned crippled by fire, and that's his blood relative, his older brother, Joseph Colson!

Joseph aimed to burn him. If Camila hadn't suddenly arrived, he would have driven home alone after meeting a client and then...

Hate welled up in Charles's heart. Over the years, he had overlooked his brother's small machinations and harm. If it made his brother feel better, he wouldn't blame him, even if his brother took his life. But his brother shouldn't have tampered with his car, which could involve Camila. He wouldn't let anyone harm a single strand of Camila's hair!

Before, Charles never wanted to counterattack his brother. But after teetering on the edge of life and death, he now wanted to counterattack. If he didn't, it would eventually implicate the person he loved most, Camila!

"A year. How could a BMW self-combust? Whom did you offend? Someone must have tampered with your car!" Jimmy said coldly.

That person is truly vicious.

By tampering with the car, even if it catches fire, the conspiracy can easily be covered up on the surface, and everyone would assume it was a car issue causing the self-combustion.

Even a BMW, a brand car, is only a year old. If it self-combusts within a year, then BMW might as well stop production.

It's clear someone tampered with it.

This matter is unrelated to him, but it involved his Camila, so it's his concern now.

Regardless of whether the other party included Camila in their plans, the fact that Camila almost perished in the fire is enough to anger him!

Charles didn't respond.

Camila glanced at Charles, guessing who it was.

Jimmy immediately took out his phone and made several calls.

He wanted to thoroughly investigate this matter.

Charles lives at the Ruiz Family residence. He couldn't ensure that Camila wouldn't ride in Charles's car again in the future. This kind of thing couldn't happen a second time. Plus, if the person targeting Charles included Camila in their plans this time, what about next time? And the time after that?

If he, Jimmy Horne, couldn't protect his woman sufficiently, he wasn't fit to have Camila.

"My affairs are none of your concern."

Hearing Jimmy make several calls, instructing people to thoroughly investigate, Charles guessed that Jimmy must have some influence. Just having returned home, he already had people to handle things for him; he was a formidable character. Seeing Jimmy as handsome, noble, and exuding an intimidating aura like Ivan, Charles couldn't help but feel sour and coldly retorted.

Jimmy glared at him coolly and said coldly, "If it didn't involve Camila, I wouldn't care if you died on the street!"

Finished speaking, he turned away, leading Camila back to his car, opened the door, and stuffed her inside. He too got in, preparing to drive away.

Jimmy's coldness and arrogance left Charles speechless.

When the two rivals met for the first time, it was already intense.

"Don't toy with Camila again, or I won't spare you!" Temporarily at a disadvantage, Charles stepped forward a few paces, stood outside Jimmy's car window, and warned coldly.

Jimmy lowered the car window, his handsome face dark, emphasizing, "I haven't toyed with Camila! I'll explain to Camila later; I don't need your interference!" With that said, he rolled up the window, started the engine, and swiftly drove away, not giving Camila a chance to speak with Charles.
