Chapter 133

Juliette cried as she backed away, shouting, “What do you want from me?”

Soon, the bodyguards made way, and Camren walked through. Seeing the disheveled poise, he couldn’t help but look down on her.

and wretched Juliette, who looked like a madwoman with no

With his years of experience, he had never seen someone so undignified and hysterical. Any woman raised in a prestigious family would uphold grace and composure.

But Juliette was utterly beneath contempt.

He couldn’t believe she was his sister he’d been separated from for years.

Camren’s emotions were complicated, but as someone who had long held a position of power, he maintained his usual calm and unreadable expression. He introduced himself, “Hello, I’m Camren Shelton.”

“Shelton…” Juliette instinctively thought of the characters carved on the wooden pendant. Her heart started racing, and a terrifying realization jumped

out at her.

The handsome young man in front of her said, “Mind if we talk?”

Camren didn’t state his intentions directly, but Juliette was already filled with hope. She looked at the people surrounding her, then at the young and accomplished Camren. One look was enough to tell how powerful he was.

She’d looked up Shelton Group on an encyclopedia page before. It was the number one conglomerate in the capital. Their current CEO was Camren.

Juliette thought, ‘Could Valerie’s wooden pendant actually be connected to the Shelton family?‘

That thought instantly flooded Juliette with renewed jealousy and bitterness.

Then, Juliette decided it wasn’t Valerie’s pendant. It was hers. It belonged to her.

Her mind spun with thoughts, and she quickly put on a fragile expression. “You… Who are you? What do we have to talk about?”

Camren smiled. “I just want to ask you a few questions.”

But his tone left no room for refusal. Soon, the people around her stepped forward and surrounded Juliette, escorting her to a restaurant.

The restaurant was large and luxurious.

It was right around dinner time, and Juliette was already starving. Seeing such an opulent place again, her heart soured with emotion. It all felt like a

lifetime ago.

The last time she had been in a place like this was months ago, back when she still shamelessly asked Valerie for money.

At that time, Juliette had rich friends all around her. They were loyal and generous. If she hadn’t broken ties with them, and they had known she possessed such a pendant, they would surely have helped her find her “biological parents.”

She blamed it all on Valerie.

She thought if Valerie hadn’t forced her to break those relationships, she’d still be living the good life,

Just thinking of Valerie made Juliette furious. But then she thought of how she might soon take over everything that should’ve belonged to Valerie, and

that calmed her down.

Camren’s secretary quickly arranged everything. Juliette looked at the man seated before her, a man who clearly held immense power.

Chapter 133

His aura was oddly familiar. Camren felt like Valerie’s husband, the legendary Aiden, who carried an equally terrifying presence.

The two were completely different, of course. Aiden was intimidating, while Camren seemed more approachable. But both had the same overal dominance that made Juliette afraid to look them in the eyes.

Camren slowly sipped his coffee and asked, “What’s your name?”

Juliette’s heart jolted. “I… I’m Juliette Scott.”

“Juliette Scott?” Camren repeated the name, as if trying to recall something. “How old are you?”

Juliette said, “Twenty.”

“Still in school?” Camren asked.

“I…” Juliette hesitated, embarrassed.

She hadn’t been to school in a long time.

Camren didn’t press further and changed the subject. “I heard you’ve been selling a lot of jewelry lately. Are you short on money?”

Juliette’s heart skipped. “Yes.”

“A fair amount of jewelry,” he remarked, setting down his coffee. “Where did it all come from?”

Juliette panicked, lowering her head. “They… they were all mine.”

“Is that so?” His tone dragged slightly, as if questioning her, but it could also just have been casual.

Juliette suddenly remembered how, in the jewelry store earlier, those people had publicly accused her of theft.

Her anxiety surged. If someone wanted to investigate, it would be easy. Lying wouldn’t help her here.

She steeled herself and said, “An old friend gave them to me. She used to treat me very well and gave me a lot of things. But after she got married, she started looking down on me, so we broke off contact. I was desperate for money, so I sold the items. Is that… wrong?”

Camren raised an eyebrow.

Juliette’s heart pounded. Camren seemed extremely sharp, not easy to deceive.

But surprisingly, Camren didn’t question her further. He simply nodded, deep in thought.

The tension was unbearable. After a few minutes, Juliette finally couldn’t hold back and asked, “Why did you come to find me?”
