Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Differences in Identity

Translator: 549690339

Emily Walker empathized with such feelings all too well. The difference in social status forced them, who worked for the boss, to swallow their grievances even when they were in the right.

A person like Bennett Philine, was even more helpless.

On one side was a ruthless master, on the other was Camila Walker who she dare not offend. Offending either side meant no end of trouble for her.

Of course, if Baron Stuart stood up for her, it would be a different story.

But would Baron Stuart, in his current state, favor a small secretary?

Seeing Bennett Philine’s aggrieved expression, Emily also felt uneasy.

Perhaps, Bennett Philine had received a slap in the face just now for trying to stop Camila.

Her interference, most likely, was to prevent Camila from bothering Baron Stuart and herself.

Turning her head, Emily swept a cold glance at Camila. It must be because she was the heiress of the Walker Consortium, that she acted so recklessly, disregarding anyone else!

“Baron Stuart, how could you do this!? I’m still your fiancée and yet you’re doing such things with this woman in the office!?” Camila’s eyes welled up with tears, and her cheeks flushed with anger.

Even though she knew the man before her had no feelings for her, she simply couldn’t stand witnessing him with another woman!

Baron Stuart’s expression was icy cold, his gaze full of nothing but anger, “Fiancée? These words might hold meaning to your parents, but before me, you’d do well to keep them to yourself.”

Intruding into his office was already a capital offence, let alone under these circumstances. Baron Stuart was already consumed by rage!

If it wasn’t out of consideration for Grandpa Zachary, he would’ve already thrown Camila out.

“Why can’t I say that? Our engagement has already been announced-”

“Do you think this engagement would still exist if not for my grandfather?” Baron Stuart cut her off, his expression chilling.

If not for Grandpa Zachary, this engagement would’ve been cancelled a long time ago— he never recognized this marriage in the first place.

To bring up fiancée in front of him now was nothing short of laughable to Baron Stuart.

Thinking back to the banquet at the Stuart family where Baron Stuart announced his intent to break off the engagement before everyone, Camila was filled with fury and turned her head to glare at Emily, who was standing not far away.

“What’s so great about her? Why does it have to be her!?” Camila yelled resentfully. She had been struggling for 20 years to be his bride. But in the end, she was replaced by another woman.

She was unwilling, utterly unwilling!

Baron Stuart simply laughed coldly, “Do I need to explain my affairs to you?”

His interest in any woman was his own business. Outsiders were not qualified to question him.

Roughly pulling his hand away from Camila, there was not a hint of warmth on Baron Stuart’s cold face, “Get out.”

Looking at him, Camila’s face was full of unwillingness. She turned to look at Emily, making a decision in her heart…

If she didn’t even have a place in Baron Stuart’s heart, then she didn’t need him. She might as well just destroy everything!

After glancing at Emily, Camila strode towards the office doorway. But just then, Zachary arrived.

The instant she saw him, Camila was overwhelmed with grievances, tears streaming down her face, “Grandpa…”

Seeing this, Zachary was momentarily dumbfounded. It took him a while to realize what was happening, and then his attention was drawn to Emily who was standing aside.

As for his arrival, Baron Stuart remained as calm as ever, the only visible emotion being faint annoyance.
