Chapter 129 Owen Discovers Camila Was His Benefactor
Sean thought, Ms. Jackson, you can’t do this to me. I’ve never even had a girlfriend. You can’t ruin my reputation like this Owen felt as though all the strength had been drained from his body. It was as if he had been plunged into a frozen wasteland, the biting cold seeping into his very soul
His lips parted slightly, but na coherent words came out. Instead, his bloodshot, almost mad eyes locked onto Camila as if his gaze alone could scorch her.
“H–how could you? You’re absolutely shameless he finally managed to say through gritted teeth, his voice dripping with resentment and bitterness
He broke into a frantic outburst. “Do you even get it? A woman’s value is in her reputation. You’re not even married, yet you re carrying a stranger’s child Aren’t you scared his family will use that child to control you, making your life a nightmare?
“Camila, you’ve truly disappointed me. With your reckless behavior, even if you abort the child, I wouldn’t take you back. Your womb has carried another man’s child. You are unworthy of me and certainly unfit to be the mother of my future children
“You disgust me. You make me sick to my stomach, he spat, his face twisted in a grotesque mask of revulsion.
Camila met his gaze coldly, her eyes devoid of any emotion. “Owen, I never realized how backward your thinking was. If didn’t know you graduated from university, I’d assume you never received a proper education.
“If I’d known your fancy degree couldn’t teach you basic decency, I wouldn’t have wasted a single cent on you. Turns out! supported an ungrateful parasite.”
Her words made Owen’s heart tremble. His eyes widened in disbelief. “What do you mean? What do you mean you supported me?”

His voice rose sharply, as if the volume could drown n out the pani tone betrayed his inner turmoil.
Camila’s expression remained indifferent, her gaze icy as she stared directly into Owen’s eyes. She enunciated each word clearly. I anonymously paid your university tuition for you.”
Her words were simple but crushing, like a bomb exploding in Owen’s mind, leaving destruction in its aftermath.
“Impossible!” Owen blurted out instinctively, shaking his head violently. His eyes were filled with denial, as if he could somehow erase the harsh truth. He couldn’t accept that his pride and accomplishments had been built on Camila’s sacrifices.
“Why is it impossible?” Camila stepped closer. “You flaunted those expensive clothes and luxury items at university–each one came from the money I earned through hard work.
“I worked endlessly, entered every competition, and won scholarships year after year, so you could focus on your studies. without financial stress. And what did you do? You used that money to create a persona, pretending to be rich and fooling everyone, including me.”
Owen sank into his wheelchair, his mind drifting back to the days when he reveled in admiration, dressed in designer brands. He had thought those accolades came from his charm and talent. Now, those memories felt like slaps, each one more painful than the last.
“No, this can’t be true. You’re lying. You’re trying to trick me,” Owen shouted at Camila, his voice desperate. “Back then, your were just a high school student. How could you afford to give me 3,000 dollars a month?”
“I know it was Agnes who truly supported me. Only someone like her, a wealthy heiress, wouldn’t care about a mere 3,000 dollars. You, however, were barely tolerated by the Jackson family. They wouldn’t give you a single cent. How could you have funded me?”
Camila thought, ‘So he knew about my struggles at the Jackson residence. Yet, when I endured endless humiliation there, he dismissed my pain with a casual remark, claiming I was just too sensitive.
He knew the Jackson family gave me nothing, yet when he received 3 thousand dollars every month, he didn’t spare even 30 dollars to help me.
“How blind had I been back then, pouring every ounce of my hard–earned money into someone who never cared? Wha fool I was

Her voice was quiet, yet it hit like a sharp blade, cutting through Owen’s pride and leaving him utterly humiliated

“No, it can’t be true. I don’t believe you. You’re lying” Owen continued to struggle, clinging to his denial.
Camila had no intention of wasting another second on his nonsense. Her expression was calm as she said flatly. “Think whatever helps you sleep at night. I’m done here.”
With that, she tumed decisively and walked away with Sean, not bothering to argue with Owen further
Her indifferent attitude was like rubbing salt into Owen’s wound, fueling the fire of his rage
He frantically pushed his wheelchair forward. The wheels screeched against the floor, carving sharp arcs as he desperately chased after Camila
“Camila, stop right there! Don’t walk away. Explain yourself!” Owen shouted, his voice cracking with emotion. But Camila couldn’t hear him. Even if she did, she wouldn’t care.
Before long, Camila and Sean got into the car. Sean started the engine, and the car sped away from the hospital.
Owen watched the car vanish into the distance, his body sinking into the wheelchair. His eyes were empty and oddly blank. He muttered to himself, “Impossible. Yet, deep down, he already accepted the harsh truth.
He had come to the hospital for a follow–up on his leg injury, but now, Camila’s words consumed him entirely. His legs didn‘ t matter anymore. All he wanted was to see Agnes immediately and confirm the truth
Agnes, the beloved heiress of the Jackson family in Sancho, shocked everyone at Lindsey’s banquet by attempting to steal a needlework piece worth 7 million dollars. She was caught red–handed and taken away by the police on the spot.
The people in the entire banquet hall had witnessed the scene, and by that evening, the incident had made headlines across all major news outlets. Owen had seen the reports and knew that Agnes was being held at the detention center.
Inside the detention center, the dim, yellowish lights cast a somber glow, and the air was thick with tension. Owen sat face to–face with Agnes, separated by cold, hard iron bars.
state
Owen could never have imagined that Agnes, once as proud and elegant as a swan, would end up in such a miserable st Her shaved head revealed a scalp marred by extensive damage, with scabs leaving shocking scars. The bald patches where no hair would ever grow stood in stark contrast to the sparse stubble around them. She looked absurdly grotesque. The natural arrogance and pride that had once defined her were completely gone. Now, she resembled a peacock stripped of its feathers, disgraced, defeated, and utterly pathetic.
When she saw Owen, her eyes lit up with a flicker of hope. She hoped Owen, the renowned lawyer, had come to save her. But the moment she noticed Owen sitting in a wheelchair, his clothes wrinkled and his face etched with exhaustion and weariness, that faint hope was extinguished, and her heart sank to rock bottom.
Still, Owen was the first person to visit her all this time. Even though she could see he was struggling himself, she put on a pitiful act and pleaded, “Owen, please save me,”
In the past, when Agnes had been as radiant and pure as a daffodil, her pleas would have genuinely evoked sympathy.
But now, with her bizarre bald patches, dull skin, and haggard appearance, she was a shadow of her former self. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stir even a shred of pity in Owen.
Gripping the iron bars tightly, Owen stared at Agnes and demanded, “Agnes, tell me the truth, Who on earth was the one who funded me back then?”
Agnes hadn’t expected him to come for this reason. Her eyes flickered briefly, but she quickly composed herself and led to him without hesitation. “Of course, it was me.”
“Cut the act!” Owen snapped, his voice trembling with rage. “Camila told me the truth. Did you lie to me all these years? Why?” His gaze was sharp as if trying to see through her.
Realizing her deception had been uncovered, Agnes felt a pang of panic. Seeing Owen’s expression, as though he wanted to tear her apart, she knew there was no point in continuing the charade.
Agnes suddenly burst into laughter, her voice tinged with a twisted mix of madness and glee. “It took you five years to figure it out? You really are an idiot.
“That’s right. Camila was the one who funded you. Can you believe how stupid she was? She sent all her money to anonymously, while she went hungry and wore rags. And you used her money to buy designer brands and show off at schooll
The thought of Camila’s suffering made Agnes laugh uncontrollably. “Do you know how much joy it brought me every time I saw you use Camila’s money to buy me gifts and try to please me? It was absolutely delightful
“Camila’s a wretched woman. How dare she think she could compare to me? She deserved every betrayal from her parents, brother, and even her childhood sweetheart. It was all her fault. Why should she have been born into a wealthy family while

Renelad
Her voice choked, and a flash of venom appeared in her eyes. She was merely the daughter of a doctor and a driver. She stole Camila’s life, and watching Camila struggle beneath her gave her a twisted sense of satisfaction.
Owen felt Agnes’s bitter, spiteful words had stabbed him in the chest. The intense, burning pain contorted his face in agony as he gritted his teeth and shouted, “Agnes!”
