Chapter 134 Lucy Plans To Take Camila Away
Lucy stared at him, her face completely blank.
Tumer immediately realized he had said the wrong thing: After what almost happened last time, she probably wanted nothing to do with him. She would never agree to go home with him.
He quickly dropped his teasing tone “How about I take you to the hotel instead?” he offered
Lucy didnt object, and she walked toward his car
Inside the car, the mood was subdued Lucy gazed out the window, her expression unreadable as the streetlights flickered by Their dim glow cast fleeting patterns across her face.
Turner glanced at her through the rearview mirror letting out a helpless sigh when he saw her icy demeanor. It seemed his actions last time had really scared her
He couldn’t blame her in his mind, Lucy was just a college student, naive and timid. He made a mental note to avoid any Inappropnate jokes in the future The last thing he needed was for her to think he was some kind of creep.
What Turner didn’t realize was that if Lucy hadn’t mistaken him for being gay, she would’ve already made her move on him
The car soon pulled up to the hotel. Turner parked, got out first, and opened the door for Lucy
He then walked her inside and handled the check–in process. Once everything was sorted, he pulled out the bank card he hadn’t managed to give her the last time and held it out to her.
“About last time. I was out of line, Turner said, his voice low and sincere, tinged with guilt. “I really want to make it up to you. This card is just a small token of my apology. Please take it.”
He softened his tone as much as he could and firmly placed the card in Lucy’s hand.
Lucy froze for a moment, her gaze dropping to the card. She hadn’t expected him to actually bring it up again, let alone insist on giving it to her.
“1… I don’t need this, she said slowly, her voice as cool as eve
But deep down, only she knew how much she craved that money. Still, appearances had to be kept up. Her image couldn’t afford to crack. When it was time to act, she had to act.
“Take it back,” she said, pushing the card back toward him.
Tumer had expected her to refuse. He thought she might be a bit stubbom and headstrong, but she still had the untainted simplicity of a college student.
Turning down 300 thousand dollars without batting an eye wasn’t something just anyone could do. Turner’s impression of Lucy improved even more. All the errands he’d done for her tonight suddenly felt worth it.
Turner didn’t back down. He shoved her hand away. “I said it’s yours, so take it. Don’t want it? Toss it in the trash for all care,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. His gaze carried a hint of dominance.
“Alright, it’s late. Get some rest. I should head back now” Turner added, turning to leave.
As he walked away, he raised an eyebrow, feeling secretly pleased with himself. He thought his commanding demeanor just now was definitely cool. Maybe he’d even managed to charm her a little.
Unbeknownst to him, Lucy was watching his retreating figure with a smirk. The corners of her lips lifted slightly, her eyes ginting with mockery and amusement. She thought he was silly, clueless, and fun to mess with
Because of his willingness to play along, she decided to temporarily forgive him for hanging out with scumbags like Harry and Michael. As long as he didn’t cross Camila, she’d let him off the hook.
Lucy tucked the bank card securely into her pocket, feeling elated. Tomorrow, she’d find Camila to discuss their plans to leave the country. Despite her mother’s claims that the Campbell family treated Camila well, Lucy knew trusting others, especially men, was too risky.
Today, they might shower women with affection, but tomorrow, if their interest waned, they’d do cruel things to reclaim everything they’d given, even with interest.
She was certain that after everything Camila had been through, she must have given up on men.
The night passed without dreams, and the sky Successfully unlocked!
Lucy woke up early, quickly freshened up, and heaucu uur op residence. She had already gotten the address from her mom the day before.
The close bond between Lucy and Camila wasn’t without reason. For Camila, in the entire Jackson family, only Hazel had ever shown her genuine kindness.

Lucy once braved a heavy rainstorm to deliver Camila’s SATS admission ticket, riding her bike through the downpour. She ended up falling and breaking her right hand.
The injury slowed her down during her own middle school exams. She had the potential to get into a top high school, but she ended up at an average one instead.
This incident left Camila feeling quilty for a long time. Neither Hazel nor Lucy owed her anything, yet they had always treated her with sincerity
That was why, after her release from prison, when the Jackson family used Hazel and Lucy to threaten her, she chose to endure it all in silence. She couldn’t bear the thought of Hazel or Lucy getting hurt because of her
To Lucy Camila wasn’t just a friend. She was also her mentor. When Camila was a high school freshman, Lucy had just started middle school. Before she met Camila, Lucy’s grades were pretty average
Thanks to Camila’s patient one–on–one tutoring, Lucy’s grades improved dramatically. For three years, Camila never missed a single session to help her.
From her first to her third year of middle school, Lucy maintained her top ranking, earning scholarships every year and easing her mom’s financial burden.
Even during her high school entrance exams, when her injured hand slowed her down and she couldn’t finish several major questions, leading her to attend an average high school. Camila never forgot about her, even from prison.
When Lucy’s mom visited Camila in prison, Camila specifically asked her to bring all her high school notes to Lucy. Those notes became Lucy’s lifeline, helping her get into Sancho University of Science and Technology, a top–tier institution.
Someone as kind and remarkable as Camila didn’t deserve to be bullied by a bunch of scumbags. Lucy was determined to get Camila out of there and away from those people for good.
When Camila woke up at the Campbell residence, she felt dazed.
She remembered waiting in the living room for Giovani to return the night before. She had been so tired that she thought. she’d just rest her eyes for a moment. Somehow, it was already morning.
Looking around, she realized she was in her own room. It was obvious that Giovani had carried her back, and the thought made her cheeks flush slightly.
Ever since moving into the Campbell residence, Camila felt like she was constantly relying on Giovani. Guilt weighed on her as she thought of doing something for him. But Giovani had everything. After some thought, she decided to make him breakfast herself.
After freshening up, she made her way downstairs. Before heading into the kitchen, she unlocked the villa’s front door, just in case someone like Turner or Sean stopped by. Her hearing wasn’t sharp enough to catch the sound of a knock
Meanwhile, Lucy had arrived at the Campbell residence. She tilted her head back, taking in the sight of the grand, foreign- style villa before her.
The villa’s cream–colored marble walls shimmered under the sunlight, radiating an air of understated elegance. Every corner was adorned with intricate carvings, showcasing unparalleled luxury
Towering columns framed the stately porch, which featured delicately crafted ironwork designs that seemed to tell a story of refinement and wealth
The front yard was a vibrant sea of flowers, their intoxicating fragrance filling the air. Each bloom was lush and radiant, with petals layered like meticulously sculpted works of art.
Lucy took in the opulence around her, a pang of worry tightening in her chest. ‘Is Camila truly happy here?‘ she wondered, her concern deepening.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward and rang the doorbell. But after waiting for quite a while, no one came to answer. Frowning, she thought to herself, “Are they all still asleep?
Hesitating, Lucy pushed the door, surprised to find it unlocked. After a moment’s pause, she decided to enter. As she walked into the living room, the rich aroma of food greeted her, stiming her curiosity
When Lucy reached the kitchen doorway, she saw Camila busy at work. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stepped closer. Camila,” she said softly
