Joseph Colson treated everyone like fools, thinking he could manipulate these prominent figures at will, yet he didn't realize the biggest fool was himself, and he was the one being toyed with.

"Jimmy Horne, get lost! Don't come looking for me anymore, we're breaking up!"

At this moment, Camila Ruiz's angry voice suddenly came from outside.

Everyone exchanged glances, that tone—it was a quarrel!

Rachel Bailey quickly walked outside and saw Jimmy Horne desperately pulling at Camila Ruiz, saying something that couldn't be heard. Camila Ruiz was very angry, forcefully shook off his hand, and quickly walked into the courtyard. Jimmy Horne chased after her into the courtyard, anxiously saying, "Camila, can you listen to my explanation?"

"Get lost!" Camila Ruiz abruptly stopped walking, turned her head and shouted, her eyes already red, tears ready to fall at any moment. Seeing her like this, Jimmy Horne felt heartbroken.

"Camila, Billy, what's going on with you two?" Rachel Bailey walked to her daughter's side, looked at her daughter and then at Billy, and asked with concern. These two loved to quarrel and fight as kids, could they still be like this now? But usually they seemed very loving.

"Mom, Billy… he's interested in another woman, and that woman is… I want to break up with him, I don't want to see him ever again. Men, none of them are any good!"

Camila Ruiz cried, after shouting she turned and ran into the house, almost bumping into Joseph Colson who was coming out.

"Camila… Aunt Rachel, I didn't! It's Camila overreacting, she's too narrow-minded, saying Crystal treated me well, claiming I fancy Crystal. I didn't! The only one I have eyes for is her, but just because I praised Crystal a few times, she flew into a rage, I don't know how she became so petty!" Jimmy Horne's handsome face was black, green, and red, showing that he was also in a fit of anger.

Hearing Crystal's name, Joseph Colson's eyes flickered.

"Billy, how can you say that about Camila? You should know Camila's temperament better than anyone! Do you really have someone else in your heart? Women's hearts are always sensitive, if you didn't have someone else in your heart, why would Camila be mad at you!" Rachel Bailey insisted, this brat dared to say her precious daughter was narrow-minded, lovers can't tolerate a single grain of sand; if he hadn't been excessive, would her daughter have been upset? Would she have said she wanted to break up?

"I…" Jimmy Horne was speechless.

Seeing Rachel Bailey, Hansen Ruiz, and Joseph Colson all glaring at him, he turned around and left in anger, unwilling to explain further.

Rachel Bailey was also furious, and walked quickly into the house, heading upstairs.

Camila Ruiz went back to her room, locked herself in, and cried heart-wrenchingly. The sorrowful sound of her cries made Rachel Bailey's heart ache as she stood outside the door, knocking.

Love pains hurt the most.

"Camila, open the door, it's mom, can you open it?"

Rachel Bailey kept knocking on the door, her face full of concern and anxiety.

Hansen Ruiz and Joseph Colson also came upstairs.

"Jimmy Horne!"

Listening to his daughter's cries, Hansen Ruiz couldn't help but grit his teeth!

"Hansen, what should we do? Camila keeps crying and won't open the door. What happened to these two kids? They were fine when they went out, but now they're back crying and shouting about breaking up! Alas, separated for over a decade, the bond isn't strong enough. My poor Camila…" Rachel Bailey spoke with both heartache and anger.

"I'm going to confront him!" Hansen Ruiz said angrily and turned to leave.

"Hansen…" Rachel Bailey wanted to stop him, but after chasing for a couple of steps, she halted.

Seeing Joseph Colson still there, Rachel Bailey apologized awkwardly with a bitter smile, "Mr. Colson, you see this… please go back first."

Joseph Colson then said, "Aunt, why don't I comfort Camila?" He walked to the door and spoke through the door to Camila Ruiz inside, "Camila, don't be sad. Being sad over a heartbreaker only belittles yourself."

Camila Ruiz didn't respond, but her crying clearly lessened.

Joseph Colson continued to persuade and comfort, saying a lot of very sensible things, until there was no sound of crying in the room.

Rachel Bailey saw it was effective and couldn't help but look at Joseph Colson in a new light.

After a while, Camila Ruiz came out of the room, her eyes red and swollen, her face still with tear stains, and she plunged into Rachel Bailey's embrace, saying sorrowfully, "Mom, my feeling can't be wrong, Billy… he let me down! How could he do this to me? I waited for him for so many years, he hasn't even been back for two months, and he already has someone else in his heart. I… it's all my fault, I shouldn't have ignored Charles' advice. But even without her, there will be countless others, no matter how I guard against Billy changing his heart, I can't prevent it. Mom, I'm really upset!"

Rachel Bailey just held her tightly, her heart also resentful of Jimmy Horne.

Thinking that Jimmy Horne and Crystal were both a bit off today, Rachel Bailey's heart burned with fury.

Damn Jimmy Horne!

"Camila, why don't I take you out for a walk to clear your mind." Joseph Colson gently suggested.

Camila Ruiz didn't respond.

Rachel Bailey loosened her embrace, encouraging, "Camila, don't be upset, if a man really changes his mind, being upset is useless. Why not go out for a walk with Mr. Colson."

Camila Ruiz still didn't respond, but she started to move, heading downstairs—the implication was clear.

Joseph Colson said goodbye to Rachel Bailey, then followed her downstairs.

After both had left, Rachel Bailey knocked on Crystal's room door, surprised to find Crystal was silently crying when she entered. With all her anger faced with a teary Crystal, Rachel Bailey suddenly found herself speechless. Considering Crystal was pregnant and had such a pitiable background, Rachel Bailey finally sighed and left, deciding to leave the decision about Crystal's fate to her daughter.

Jimmy Horne and Camila Ruiz, the childhood sweethearts, were fighting.

This fight was not like those of childhood, where after fighting they would play together again. Camila Ruiz refused to see Jimmy Horne, nor would she listen to his explanations, even if Jimmy Horne forced a meeting, they would only have fierce arguments, so intense it worried the elders of all three families—even the usually calm and inscrutable Ivan Horne was anxious, not to mention Charles Colson.

When Charles Colson heard the fight was because of Crystal, he immediately wanted to kick Crystal out, but even in anger and hatred, Camila Ruiz still sympathized with Crystal, and couldn't bear to drive her away. Crystal was extremely remorseful, never expecting Jimmy Horne and Camila Ruiz's feelings to be so fragile; she had barely shown any interest, and they ended up fighting like this.

Thinking about how they had been apart for eighteen years and reunited for less than two months, it made sense that their feelings were fragile.

Crystal felt deeply ashamed toward Camila Ruiz, and one night, she quietly left with her simple luggage, leaving only a brief note apologizing to Camila Ruiz and advising her to look ahead—there are plenty of good men out there.
