Kathleen had been married for so many years, yet she had never mentioned anything about her children, which left Camille puzzled.
Just as Camille’s words fell, Kathleen’s expression instantly became gloomy.
She pursed her lips, her face looking particularly unpleasant.
She said, “I don’t have children and I will never have my own biological child in this lifetime.”
Camille looked at her with increasing curiosity in her eyes.
Kathleen continued, “Since the day I married into the Wyatt family, I lost the right to be a mother.”
She smiled, but there were tears in her eyes.
She lightly bit her lip, her voice becoming hoarse as she said, “Your father is a heartless person. In his eyes and heart, there is only your mother. But fate had other plans. After all, beautiful love is often met with jealousy. So God took away his beloved from this world.”
Kathleen explained that the Wyatt family’s only son, Camille’s biological father, was a handsome man. However, he was devoted and loyal to the core.
After his beloved passed away, he agreed to marry again at Joseph’s request, but on the condition that he would not marry a woman from a business family. That was why he chose the Bill family because Kathleen back then was a naive young lady who had never schemed or experienced hardships.
For someone like her, money was all that mattered.
As long as enough money was given, everything could be solved.
Of course, Kathleen only learned about this after marrying into the Wyatt family.
For her, it was truly agonizing.
Her husband didn’t love her, let alone let her pregnant with his child. The man never touched her, so how could she possibly conceive a child?
And even if they did have physical contact, she still wouldn’t be able to conceive.
That was because she had long been taking a specially formulated drug without her knowledge. Even if she found out later and confronted them, all she would end up with was a sum of money.
For the only heir of the Wyatt family, as long as he gave her enough money, everything would be resolved.
But did she really want money?
All the memories rushed into her mind like a tide. It overwhelmed her, but what could she do? She had no choice in any of this.
She took a deep breath before looking at Camille and smiling faintly. “To be honest with you, I despise the Wyatt family. They gave me hope and then shattered it completely. If they hadn’t chosen me and given me hope in the first place, I would have lived a happy life now. Even if I didn’t have much money or status, at least I would be content.” Her voice became hoarse.
Her words resonated deeply with Camille, especially since she was already a mother herself.
Especially for those who couldn’t become mothers or couldn’t have the love they should have had.
But even if the Wyatt family didn’t choose the Bill family, they would choose someone else. No matter what, someone would have to suffer.
Camille didn’t know what to say. Could she sympathize?
Perhaps she could.
If Vincent Bill hadn’t agreed when Kathleen married into the Wyatt family, none of this would have happened.
Maybe Vincent wanted to ride on the Wyatt family’s coattail, but he didn’t expect it to be a trap.
But everything was set in stone. The Bill family couldn’t compete with the Wyatt family, so they could only accept this loss silently.
Kathleen briefly explained everything she knew about the Wyatt family and then asked Camille, “I’ve said everything that needs to be said. This is how I see the Wyatt family. It’s an undeniable fact that I can’t change or alter anything. I can’t get what I want unless I do as Joseph wishes.”
Camille smiled faintly and said, “After hearing everything you’ve said, I feel even more convinced that I shouldn’t return to the Wyatt family. Their methods are beyond what I can accept and tolerate. So I don’t think I can be part of such a family.”
Kathleen’s expression immediately became serious as she said, “Camille, the Wyatt family won’t treat you like that. You are the sole heiress and everything in the Wyatt family will belong to you. How can you not go back?”
“Because I don’t like the Wyatt family. It lacks compassion and only knows schemes and calculations. It’s my bottom line, and I care deeply about it. That’s why I can’t return.”
Camille was firm in her stance. She never intended to acknowledge the Wyatts as her family in the first place, and now that she had heard everything Kathleen said, her determination grew stronger.
It didn’t matter if she was the only heiress of the Wyatt family. Since they could treat Kathleen like this, they would treat her the same way too.
The Wyatt family was ruthless and wouldn’t tolerate anyone challenging their authority.
Camille told Kathleen, “I came here today just to understand what kind of family the Wyatt family is-to abandon their own child for someone else to raise. Don’t they know how difficult it is to get back what they’ve lost? Besides, I’m already an adult now. I won’t easily let others control me.”
“Camille, you’re thinking too simply,” Kathleen said with a faint smile. “If Joseph has decided to acknowledge you, then he must be absolutely certain. Perhaps, the Simpson family has known about your connection to the Wyatt family from the very beginning. Maybe that was why Ayan married you. Everyone might just be actors playing their parts in the Wyatt family’s drama, while you, the main character, remain unaware.”
Kathleen watched as Camille’s expression visibly changed, then continued, “Things aren’t as simple as you think, but I don’t know much more. So, you might want to think it over carefully!”
Originally, Camille had only intended to ask about the Wyatt family, but now, after hearing this, she felt as though she was on the verge of sinking into depression.
Her face turned serious, and she looked extremely unpleasant.
Their conversation lasted for over half an hour. Suddenly, Camille’s phone rang.
It was Yessica calling.
She glanced at Kathleen and whispered softly, “I need to take this call.”
Kathleen nodded in acknowledgment.
Camille answered the call. “Yessica?”
“Camille, where are you? Why are you taking so long? I’m already awake.”
“I’m in the bathroom. I’ll be there soon.”
“Alright!”
After hanging up the phone and putting it away, Camille left Kathleen with her contact information before saying, “The thing you want can only be obtained after I return to the Wyatt family-isn’t that right?”
Kathleen hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly. “Yes… that’s right.”
“Why don’t we cooperate?” Camille smirked, saying, “You can take your time to think it over. Once you’ve made up your mind, give me a call. Let’s stay in touch!”
