Chapter 960
Even though Camilla was tucked away in the farthest corner of the banquet hall, she still managed to be the most eye-catching person in the room.
She barely moved her lips as she spoke in a calm voice, "Mom, I don't want to get married."
"What are you talking about, honey?" Samantha squeezed Camilla's hand. "You're at the perfect age to get married. We raised you, so it's our job to help you find a good husband. Mr. Reynolds is a great guy; you should give it a shot."
"Yeah, Camilla, the Reynolds Family is the biggest deal in Brussville. Marrying Mr. Reynolds is a huge win for you," chimed in Nicole Jenkins with a flirty laugh. But there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
Camilla had been adopted by the Jenkins Family four years ago and had lived with them ever since. Despite being suppressed for those four years, she remained proud.
The most enviable thing about Camilla was her face, with features so beautiful and flawless on her sun-kissed skin.
Camilla had this aura about her that made people afraid to look at her directly but unable to resist sneaking glances.
Camilla frowned slightly. She really didn't want to get married, especially without even considering it.
She always felt like there was something she hadn't done yet, like she needed to meet someone. But after three years, she still couldn't remember anything from her past.
The first moment she woke up, the Jenkins Family asked her name, and she instinctively replied with "Haley."
Even though she had lost her memory, she still remembered that name.
That day, Samantha held her hand and gently said, "You were rescued by the Jenkins Family from the seaside. We spent a fortune on a full-body blood transfusion to barely save your life since you were severely injured. You'll need high medical expenses in the future. How about becoming the adopted daughter of the Jenkins Family? From now on, your last name will be Jenkins, and you'll be called Camilla."
Camilla had lost her memory, so she went along and moved into the Jenkins Mansion.
She lived in the Jenkins Mansion for four years, with a life that was calm and uneventful, except for Nicole's targeting.
Camilla looked up at her so-called sister, Nicole.
This was the young lady of the Jenkins Family, the one who targeted her the most, always secretly setting traps for her.
However, since the Jenkins Family had saved her, she wouldn't hold a grudge against someone younger than herself like Nicole.
"Camilla, why are you looking at me?" Nicole touched her face. "Is there something on my face?"
Camilla smiled slightly. "I remember Nicole seems to like Mr. Reynolds. If that's the case, why not let Nicole marry into the Reynolds Family?"
Samantha's face stiffened for a moment, then she sighed. "The Jenkins Family and the Reynolds Family have been family friends for generations and originally intended to marry. Unfortunately, Nicole wasn't favored by the Reynolds Family, so the marriage was delayed. But Camilla, you're different with your beauty and personality. The Reynolds Family will surely be willing to accept you."
Camilla tugged at the corner of her lips. She didn't need the Reynolds Family's acceptance. She said calmly, "Since Nicole likes Mr. Reynolds, I won't get involved."
After saying that, Camilla got up and walked towards the restroom.
Nicole clenched her fist. "Mom, look at how this adopted daughter has more presence than me."
Samantha held her hand and said softly, "Nicole, no matter what, Camilla is your savior. Finding her a good home will repay that life-saving grace."
"But didn't the Jenkins Family save her too?" Nicole sneered. "If Dad hadn't happened to go to the coast and rescue her, she would have been shark food by now."
