Wedding Dress Betrayal Finding Love With His Uncle novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28: A Pitiable Sight, Masterfully Played

Britney shook her head, pulling her arm away. “You can be whatever kind of Mr. Lewis you want. You don’t

need to change for me.”

“Whatever was between us, it ended a long time ago.”

With that, Britney stepped back a few paces, walking away without a trace of lingering attachment.

“Britney Simpson!” Camren had never been rejected repeatedly like this. Angrily, he yanked Britney back into

his embrace.

His eyes blazing, he gripped her shoulders tightly. “Are you playing hard to get with me? After all this, you’re just jealous that I’m putting effort into Skylar, right?”

“If that’s the case, why bother pretending to be so high and mighty all the time? You could’ve just told me.

Then I wouldn’t have to hold back my primal urges around you. If you were more cooperative, I wouldn’t need

Skylar…”

*SMACK!* A stinging slap across the face cut off Camren’s self–righteous rant. “Camren Lewis, I should’ve

given you that slap ages ago.”

“You were the one who betrayed our relationship. Don’t try to push the blame on me, and don’t make excuses for your indulgence and lust.”

“Your cheating was your own choice. Even if you and I still had something, you still would’ve done it.”

“Oh yeah?” Camren’s eyes darkened instantly. “Then let’s see…”

“What are you doing?!” Britney instinctively felt threatened.

She tried to back away, but Camren’s grip on her shoulders tightened even more. “Let go of me!”

Camren didn’t say another word. Instead, he forcefully ripped off Britney’s bathrobe and leaned down towards

her.

Britney clearly understood Camren’s intentions. She lifted her leg and kicked him hard in the groin. As he winced in pain and loosened his grip, she spun around and ran.

Their current location was incredibly close to the hot springs Nelson had booked, so she just needed to be quick to escape. “Ryan…”

But Camren was faster. He caught up to her, roughly clapped a hand over her mouth, and dragged her

backward with force.

Britney tried to use the same trick again, but Camren stayed behind her, making it impossible. Her arms were pinned tightly behind her back, and the more she struggled, the more it tore at her.

Britney’s struggles and resistance only fueled Camren’s anger. All he could see in his mind was the image of her submissively letting Ryan kiss her lips.

Why was it only rejection when it came to him?

Ignoring Britney’s protests, Camren leaned down.

Britney’s eyes trembled with terror, but she couldn’t even speak.

*CRASH!* Just then, Camren was suddenly yanked away with great force and kicked. He lost his balance, falling backward and crashing hard into a nearby rockery.

Britney, on the other hand, fell into a firm embrace. The familiar scent filled her nostrils, telling her who it was

without even needing to look up.

She instinctively clutched the clothes of the person beside her, gasping for air as if she’d narrowly escaped

death.

Ryan pulled Britney’s bathrobe back into place, his gaze falling on her reddened wrists. The corners of her eyes were still a little red, and the faint beauty mark there trembled with her rapid breathing.

His eyes instantly turned cold, and the hand wrapped around Britney’s waist tightened.

“Cough, cough…” Camren clutched his chest, trying to catch his breath after the sudden impact.

“What were you doing?” Ryan’s voice was steeped in ice, a chilling edge to it, as his sharp gaze snapped

towards Camren.

Faced with Ryan’s fury and interrogation, Camren was speechless for a moment, unable to speak.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, weren’t you quite bold just now? What’s this, all talk, no action?” Nelson looked at Camren with

disdain.

“Sister!” Skylar, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, anxiously interrupted Camren. “Are you okay?”

Skylar reached out to grab Britney’s hand, but Ryan dodged it. Under Ryan’s powerful presence, she took a step back, but her big eyes remained fixed on Britney.

Her misty eyes were full of grievance. “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t have anything to do with Camren anymore?”

“How could you still…” Skylar’s unfinished sentence effortlessly pinned the blame on Britney.

She bit her lower lip tightly. “I know I let you down, but you’re already married to our uncle. You can’t still be hung up on Camren.”

The redness in Britney’s eyes hadn’t faded, and she watched Skylar’s performance with a cold gaze.

She’d seen this kind of twisted narrative far too many times before. In the past, whenever Skylar wanted to, she could turn everyone against Britney.

A chill seeped into Britney’s chest, and her left ear started ringing again. She released Ryan’s hand. She had to get used to being alone.

Ryan felt her subtle movement and frowned slightly.

“Skylar Simpson, what the heck are you babbling about?!” Amaya wanted to rush over and slap Skylar a few

times
