It's not that others are cruel to you, it's that you are cruel to others.
He would rather she be cruel to others than see others being cruel to her.
Hehe.
A crisp laugh escaped, and Camila Ruiz instead burst into laughter.
She extended her hands, wrapped them around his neck, and said mischievously, "Do you really think I'm a fool? I've waited eight years for you, how could I possibly hand you over to someone else? Even if someone wants to snatch you, I won't let go."
After hearing her words, Jimmy Horne finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Naughty Camila, you're teasing me." With his worries gone, Jimmy Horne was in good spirits, grabbing her playful hands that were wrapped around him.
Jimmy Horne whispered hoarsely, "Did you put on some perfume?"
"What do you think?"
The open-air parking lot was quiet since it was lunch break, and most of the servants were also resting.
In the high sky, the sun was like a fireball, using its light and heat to burn the earth.
Though it was early autumn, the temperature was still unbearably hot, just as the saying "Autumn tiger" aptly described.
Florence Ford, standing at a distance, saw the two get in the car without starting it immediately, knowing they were talking, doing something. Clearly, the two had been apart for eight years; today was their reunion after separation, with no sense of strangeness. Instead, it gave others the feeling of a honeymoon after a brief separation, with mutual trust and love overflowing without a word, making it impossible to ignore.
Turning around, with a pang of pain, she indifferently walked away.
Jimmy Horne considerately fastened the seatbelt for Camila Ruiz, drove the car, and took her away from the Horne Family villa, planning to use the one-week vacation given to Camila by Ivan Horne to enhance their relationship.
In the city, suburbs, and neighboring cities, as long as it was a fun place, they would appear there.
Wherever there was good food, they would be there too.
Instead of saying Camila Ruiz was showing Jimmy Horne around, it was more like Jimmy Horne was taking Camila Ruiz on a near-vacation.
They did not bring any third parties, and even Florence Ford, the closest bodyguard, was ordered by Jimmy Horne not to follow. It was a world belonging to just him and Camila, where no one else could intrude except the sky and earth, clouds and breeze.
Just one week was enough to make them inseparable.
Perhaps their relationship was so sweet it touched Julia's heart, and she agreed to a second honeymoon with Glades Horne. The place she chose was still the Maldives because it held their sweetest memories. It was where her heart truly turned to Glades Horne, marking the beginning of their love as a couple.
The ocean there, the beaches, the hotels, the sunlight, the land—everything was endlessly memorable for her.
Glades Horne never refused his wife's requests.
Upon hearing that the couple planned a second honeymoon, Hansen Ruiz and Rachel Bailey couldn't resist and insisted on joining the couple to the Maldives for a second honeymoon. It seemed that when Rachel and Hansen got married, they didn't have a honeymoon, so this supposed second honeymoon was indeed their real honeymoon.
Before deciding to take his wife on a second honeymoon, Glades Horne temporarily appointed his son as acting CEO. Since Ivan Horne was already the successor of Valence Group, the core figures in the group had no objections to his temporary decision. It wasn't a bad idea to let Ivan take charge of the company sooner.
Glades Horne thought that if his son could take over the CEO position in the next two years, he could freely accompany Julia, traveling and enjoying their later years together.
With the younger generation's farewell, after sending off two couples who had been loving for over twenty years as if they were newlyweds, the Ruiz Family was left with only Camila Ruiz and Charles Colson. Christopher Ruiz and his brother were still in school and only occasionally came home.
Worried that Charles Colson would snatch Camila Ruiz away, Jimmy Horne stuck to her every day, stubbornly refusing to give Charles Colson a chance to be alone with her.
The one-week vacation ended quickly, and Jimmy Horne was about to officially take over the Black Emperor Group.
Camila Ruiz also returned to her regular work schedule, and everything seemed to be heading down the normal path, yet unbeknownst to them, a conspiracy was quietly approaching.
