All Chapters of Ninety-Nine Wishes, One Broken Marriage: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Camilla's face turned pale. Didn't their current situation resemble what happened back then? She pursed her lips but remained steadfast.Jeremy took a deep breath. Camilla had made her stance clear.She was going to defend Zachary even if it meant cutting Jeremy off. In that case, he should cooperate.He turned to Harriet. "Mrs. Sloan.""Y-You're talking to me now?" Harriet was caught off guard.She didn't want to be involved in this at all when it wasn't under her jurisdiction. How was she supposed to respond if Jeremy asked for her opinion?Harriet quickly imagined multiple scenarios. In all of them, she would side with Camilla. After all, she didn't want anything bad to happen to Zachary, who had saved her life!Although it was weird, Jeremy asking for her opinion in a situation like this showed that he respected her greatly. Harriet straightened up and said, "I think Camilla's—"However, before she could finish her sentence, Jeremy stepped in front of her. His detached gaze

Hearing that, Camilla narrowed her eyes. Harriet shut her mouth and changed the topic."By the way, I saw that you spent around two hundred dollars on groceries. Were they for Jeremy?"Camilla almost laughed at the incredulity of the situation. It was the first time she had heard Harriet call Jeremy's name without disdain, but it happened just as they had gotten divorced."You always told me to make sure Jeremy knows he still has to work hard to earn his keep even after he marries into our family. You were always so scared of him mooching off of us or cooking up some horrible scheme to steal our assets."But all these years, he has worked so hard to take care of me, Charlotte, and our house. He never spent a single cent of our money, so why do you keep singling him out?" Camilla asked with her eyes filled with tears.At a loss, Harriet clutched her chest. "Ow… It hurts…"Camilla closed her eyes. The truth was that she had always been aware of how Harriet had treated Jeremy. Howev

Jeremy's heart clenched. He immediately climbed through the window and rushed to Owen's side.Only when he heard Owen breathing steadily did he sigh in relief. After years in the medical industry, he could tell from Owen's deep inhales that he was safe.Jeremy glanced at the wound on his forehead. Even though it looked morbid, it was actually just a scratch. He gently shook Owen."Huh?" Owen woke up and rubbed his eyes drowsily. When he saw Jeremy, he froze.Then, he quickly explained, "Dr. Cooper? Why are you here? Do you know how many people came looking for you?"Jeremy pulled out a first aid kit from the front desk's cupboard and treated him with the disinfectants and bandages he found inside. "How did you get hurt?"Owen remained still and let Jeremy treat his forehead wound. He grumbled, "The crowd was getting rowdy, so I locked the door to get some peace and quiet."But then they started throwing rocks and broke the window. They only ran away when they accidentally hurt m

"Your room's over here. Kate's already cleaned it."Camilla rubbed her forehead on the couch, slightly irritated. This was the first time she'd ever let a man other than Jeremy into her house.The thought made her deeply uncomfortable. In fact, it even left her feeling uneasy. "Camilla, where's the bathroom? I'd like to freshen up," Zachary asked with a smile as he stepped out of the room."It's next to the kitchen." Camilla pointed to the side in an indifferent voice."Got it."Unfazed, Zachary headed in the direction she pointed.The moment he disappeared from sight, Camilla let out a long sigh. She took out her phone and texted Charlotte. "Charlotte, pack some clothes and come over. Stay with me for the time being."Charlotte replied almost immediately, but her response had nothing to do with Camilla's message. "Camilla, I texted Jeremy today. Why didn't he reply?"You guys had such a huge fight today. Is he really not coming back?"A strange feeling stirred within Ca

Kate's expression changed. "M-Mr. Larson, you deleted Jeremy's fingerprint!"Panic surged through her. What if Camilla managed to make up with Jeremy and convince him to come home? If he found himself locked out because he couldn't unlock the door, he'd be furious. Zachary glanced at Kate the moment she mentioned Jeremy's name. It seemed she was on pretty good terms with Jeremy. "Kate, it was an accident. I didn't mean to do it," he said apologetically. "When Jeremy comes back, I'll help him register his fingerprint again."Kate found Zachary's wording oddly unsettling. Why did he make it sound as though he were the man of the house?She was so angry she wanted to snap at him, but then she remembered Camilla had instructed her to take good care of him. Just then, a voice came from the doorway. "Oh? You're all here. Where's Camilla?" Charlotte, who was wearing her pajamas and carrying a stack of documents, stood at the entrance. Kate stepped aside to let her in. "Ms
