The marriage was a decision made solely by the Jackson farmillyCartits never had a say it. Whether the arrend or not, she had to marry him.

If that was the case, then wh dfference dd it make whether she saw him or not

Belinda wanted to sacrifice her for the sake of the family’s interests, yet she didn’t want to bear the stigma of selling her daughter for wealth. That’s why she wrapped it all up in a grand sounding excine, pretending it was for Carnila’s own good

Such hypocrisy was disgusting. If Belinda had been straightforward about not caring, it wouldn’t have been this inntating.

She didn’t love Cemía, yet she pretended to care. She kept giving her hope, only to push her into the fire again and again.

She was nothing but a puppet, played at the whims of the Jackson family

And that was the most infuriating part

Camila’s gaze was clearshe had already seen through everything Meanwhile, Belinda’s face flushed red with

embarrassment.

Without another word, Camila reached into the shopping bag and pulled out the dress. It was a simple red slip dress, plain

in design, modest in styleclearly something picked up last minute just for the sake of appearances.

They couldn’t even be bothered to put effort into pretending

How thoughtful of you, Camila said, deliberately emphasizing the sarcasm in her tone.

Belinda, of course, caught the mockery.

Awkwardly, she forced a smile. If you don’t like it, I can pick another one for you.

Camila tossed the dress back at her. My injuries haven’t healed yet. Are you sure you want me to wear this?

The wounds from Arthur’s belt had stopped hurting, but the bruises on her arms, back, and thighs were still glaringly obvious.

The worst was her shoulder. Though the wound had healed, it had left behind a large scar. If she wore a slip dress, all of it would be on full display.

Belinda was slow to react but eventually realized the problem. Guilt flashed across her face. I was careless. I’m sorry.

No need for apologies, Camila said. Just give me the money. I’ll buy one myselfsomething that actually fits.”

Her body had been severely malnourished. At an age where she should have been growing, she lacked the nutrition to do so. The result? A thin, frail frame with no curves to speak of

The Jackson family all had modellike figures. Arthur stood at 6’1, Harry at 6’2, and Belinda at 57. With those genetics, Camila should have been at least 5’7tall.

But she was only 5’3. If not for her facean undeniably perfect blend of Arthur and Belinda’s features, strikingly beautiful- no one would have believed she was truly a Jackson.

And the dress Belinda had brought? It clearly wasn’t her sizeit was bought based on Agnesmeasurements.

Agnes was tall and curvy, wellnourished and wellmaintained. She was thin, but not like CamilaCamila was skeletal. There was no way she could wear Agnessize.

Belinda’s face burned with embarrassment, and she wished she could disappear into the ground.

Desperate to escape, she hurriedly pulled out a bank card and handed it to Camila. There’s thirty thousand dollars c Take it. If it’s not enough, ask me for more.

Then, without waiting for a response, she fled.

Camila packed up briefly, then took the card ar Successfully unlocked!

She took a taxi straight to the mallnot to buy a dress, but to a suit store.

A suit was formal and, more importantly, would cover all her injuries.

With the store attendant’s recommendation, she picked up a black suit and stepped into the fitting room.

I’ve already checked every reportable tator in Sancho, the man said in frustration

Camila glanced at the suit in his hands

Having lived in the Jackson family for three years, she had seen plenty of highend tailoring. But even so, this suit was on another levelboth the fabric and the craftsmanship were impeccable.

it was undoubtedly custom made. There wouldn’t be a second one lire t

Even if it could be repaired, it wouldn’t be a quick fixand the cost would easily start in the firefigure range.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, the man in glasses noticed her

Camila, now dressed in a fitted black suit, looked sharp and poised. Though her frame was thin, the suit’s structured shoulders gave her a stronger presence. The black fabric contrasted with her pale skin, and the clean lines of the lapels extended elegantly to her slender neck, exuding a sleek, confident aura.

The man mistook her for the store manager and quickly approached. Is there really no way to for it? As long as it’s done before sundown, money isn’t an issue

Camila blinked, realizing his misunderstanding. She was about to refuse, but seeing the expectation in his eyes, she hesitated. That feelingof suddenly being neededwas strangely difficult to reject

Before she could stop herself, she said, What about needle work?

The man hesitated. Adding embroidery to a suit like this? That didn’t seem right.

But at this point, what other option did he have?

Clenching his teeth, he asked, What kind of embroidery? Are you any good?

Camila answered calmly, I know embroidery. My skill levelshould be decent.

She had learned embroidery in Sancho prison. No matter how badly they beat her, they never harmed her handsbecause her embroidery was the best in the entire prison.

Even the guards seemed to value her hands.

But how good was she, really? She wasn’t sure. Maybe she only seemed skilled compared to the other inmates.

The man studied her, skeptical. Embroidery? Are you sure you can do it?

It wasn’t that he looked down on hershe was just too young.

Embroidery was intricate, demanding, and expensive.

Could someone her age really master it?

Camila didn’t oversell herself. She simply said, I don’t know if I can. But one thing’s certainif you bring that burned suit to the banquet, it won’t work.

That was undeniable. So, at this point, there was no harm in trying.

With a determined expression, the man handed the suit to Camila, silently praying.

This had to work. Tonight’s auction was far too important for the CEO. Camila studied the cigarette burn carefully, her fingers tracing the fabric as she mentally sketched out an embroidery design.

Do you have embroidery thread?she asked the clerk.

The clerk nodded and quickly brought her everything she needed.

Camila sat down at the table, her expression turning serious.

Before she even started stitching, she separated a single thread into fortyeight finer strands.

That alone left both the man and the store clerk stunned.

The man’s heart pounded in excitement. Just from that one move, he could tellCamila wasn’t just good. She was a professional.
