A One Night Stand With My Boss (Camilla) novel Chapter 227

Hearing the staggering figure, Grandma suddenly screamed, and her face turned ghostly pale as she staggered, almost fainting. Claire quickly steadied her.

Camila was too shocked to speak.

The officer continued, “If you want to bail him out, you’ll need to forfeit all illegal profits and settle the debts.”

The figure was astronomical for them, completely unaffordable.

“What are we going to do?” Despair filled Grandma’s eyes. “We don’t have that kind of money!”

Melinda suddenly gripped Camila’s arm fiercely. “It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t insisted on redeeming the money, Drew wouldn’t have borrowed $700,000!”

Camila’s arm throbbed with pain.

Facing Aunt’s accusation, Camila felt a chill in her heart. She had not expected her aunt to blame her so unjustly at such a time. “If you had listened to me, we wouldn’t have lost $2 million and owed another $700,000!”

“Melinda, let go!” Claire pried her hand away, angrily retorting, “If it weren’t for your own greed, none of this would have happened! Cami was just trying to help, but you treat her kindness like dirt, and now you’re even turning it against her.”

Riley hung his head. “Now is not the time for quarreling.”

The officer, whose head was buzzing from the day’s family disputes, spoke up. “Just go home and discuss this. When you can pay up the amount, then we can release him.”

Hearing the officer’s words, Camila and her family could only silently leave the police station.

“Let’s discuss this at your house,” Claire told her brother.

“No!” Riley reacted vehemently.

“Why?” Claire was puzzled.
