Chapter 991
"Mr. Winston wants me to be his secretary," Camilla said.
Camilla pursed her lips. She knew what that meant, and so did Patrick.
She wanted to gauge the Jenkins family's stance.
Patrick paused, meeting Camilla's steady gaze.
In that moment, he got why Camilla was spilling the beans. She wanted to see if the Jenkins family was worth the trouble.
"Camilla, you're our daughter, just like Nicole. We can't let you make such a sacrifice," Patrick sighed. "Let's go back and talk this over with your grandmother. There's gotta be another way."
"Let me go!" Nicole suddenly piped up. "I want to be Mr. Winston's secretary."
Patrick shot her a cold look. "Stop talking nonsense!"
"I'm serious!" Nicole insisted. "We can't let an adopted daughter make such a big sacrifice. But I have Jenkins' blood in me. If it can save the family, I'm willing to do it."
Camilla and Patrick went silent.
Patrick had watched Nicole grow up; he knew what she was thinking.
Nicole must have been smitten by Ivan's good looks and charm.
"Let's go back and discuss this with your grandmother."
Camilla gave a faint smile and walked out first.
Patrick grabbed Nicole's arm. "Nicole, don't do anything rash. This has nothing to do with you!"
"How can you say that? I have a duty to help the Jenkins family!" Nicole said firmly. "Besides, haven't you always said the Jenkins family owes Camilla? Let me repay her for saving my life."
Patrick was almost livid. "You can't say that in front of Camilla!"
In reality, the Jenkins family had used Camilla's blood to save Nicole, which had led to the death of the child Camilla was carrying.
This time, the Jenkins family's crisis might only be solvable by Camilla.
"Dad, don't stop me!"
Nicole quickly caught up with Camilla. "Camilla, what did you and Mr. Winston talk about?"
Camilla got into the back seat, and Nicole quickly followed, bombarding her with questions.
"He didn't do anything inappropriate, did he?"
Camilla gave a sarcastic smile. "You seem very interested in what happened between Mr. Winston and me."
"Camilla, he must have ulterior motives for asking you to be his secretary," Nicole's eyes darted around. "Being with a divorced man with a kid like Ivan is really unfair to you. But being a Jenkins, sacrificing for the family is no biggie. Let me take your place as Mr. Winston's secretary."
Camilla stayed silent.
（I highly recommend a captivating book that I couldn't put down for three days and nights. It's incredibly engaging and a must-read. The title of the book is "Wed into Wealth, Ex Goes Wild" You can find it by searching for it in the search bar.
Here is the synopsis of the book:
