Chapter 41 Give the Opportunity to Svetla
In the afternoon, Camila received a notification from the financial company, asking her to come to the company headquarters in three days to complete the onboarding process.
She was happy while she was live streaming, but she was also worried.
Camila currently does not want the Starling family to know about this matter, and besides, the Starling’s place is crowded and not suitable for live streaming.
Renting a house was not cost–effective for her.
After much consideration, Camila decided not to sell her house for now. Instead, she would do live streaming in her house and rent out the other rooms.
So she called the agent and changed from selling the house to renting out the rooms.
When she returned to the Starling’s place, it was already
evening.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Eden excitedly running over with her phone.
“Camila, you’re so amazing!” Eden handed her phone to Camila. “Look, you’re way ahead now, with tens of thousands more votes than Svetla! You’re really on fire this time.”
“You’re exaggerating too much, it’s just an endorsement.”

Camila responded rather calmly.
“This is not an ordinary endorsement. Do you know how popular this game is? Just look at the number of people participating in the vote.”
Eden looked at Camila enviously. “Camila, I think you are so lucky. You get to marry my brother and even endorse such a famous game. I feel like your life is about to reach its peak.”
Camila was amused by Eden’s exaggerated expression.
“Didn’t your mother ask you to accompany Svetla? Why didn’t you go?”
“Don’t mention it. What Svetla needs is my brother’s
company, not mine. She might even find me annoying,” Eden muttered. “Well, that works out perfectly, I have nothing to do anyway.”
Upon hearing this, Camila felt a bit disappointed.
Eden felt like she had said something wrong, but she didn’t know how to comfort Camila.
During Maxwell’s week back in the country, he indeed spent every night at Svetla’s place. Eden couldn’t hide this fact from
Camila.
And Eden felt that Svetla had come this time for Maxwell. Considering their past relationship, there was a high possibility of their old feelings reigniting.
Perhaps Svetla and Maxwell had gotten back together.
Eden looked at the dejected Camila and asked worriedly, “Camila, you didn’t really fall in love with my cousin, did you?”
“If that’s the case, I advise you to give up sooner rather than later. My brother’s feelings for Svetla are beyond your imagination. He would never give up on Svetla for any woman.”
Camila chuckled and thought, “Is my concern so obvious?”
“I knew what to do. Thank you.”
During dinner, Daisy did not come back. Gideon, Eden, and Camila had dinner together.
At this moment, Maxwell came back.
Raven brought Maxwell a set of cutlery.
Soon, Gideon finished eating and went back to his room.
Camila and Maxwell both ate their meals with their heads down, ignoring each other.
Eden felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
So she deliberately brought up a topic and said, “Maxwell, have you seen the voting for Camila and Svetla’s game endorsement?”
“I didn’t have time.” Maxwell’s face was gloomy, as if he was not very happy.
But Edén was even more excited.
She continued to ask, “Maxwell, who do you hope will win between the two of them?”
Maxwell put down his fork and gave Eden’s head a hard knock. “Just eat your meal, why do you always talk so much?”

“Why don’t you say it? Do you hope Camila or Svetla won?”
“Who did you vote for?” Maxwell clearly didn’t want to answer this question in front of Camila.
“I…” Eden hesitated. “If I say that I voted for Camila, you won’t be mad at me, right?”
Camila was taken aback. She didn’t expect that Eden would actually vote for her.
“Am I so petty in your eyes?” Maxwell raised his hand again, frightening Eden who immediately covered his head.
Eden heard Maxwell’s words and felt relieved.
“But will Svetla be angry with me?”
“Since you’re afraid of making her angry, why did you still vote for someone else?” Maxwell gave her a disdainful look.
“Because I felt that Camila’s appearance was more suitable to endorse that game.”
“What do you understand?” Maxwell said coldly, standing up. Then he said to Camila, “I’ll wait for you in the room. I have something to tell you.”
“Camila, what do you think my brother would say to you?” Eden asked curiously.
Camila shook her head.
“I guess it must be related to Svetla,” Eden said confidently.
“How about we make a bet? If I’m right, will you accompany me for shopping tomorrow?”

“I want to go back and visit my grandmother tomorrow,” Camila scratched her head sheepishly.
“What about the day after tomorrow?”
Camila nodded. “I promise you, if I have free time the day after tomorrow, I will accompany you for shopping.”
Camila returned to the room. Maxwell was waiting for her.
“These past few days, you have worked hard,” Maxwell spoke.
Camila’s heart warmed.
She really thought that, as Eden said, Maxwell would tell her about Svetla.
However, she was happy too early.
Maxwell continued, “I wanted to talk to you about Svetla.”
“What happened?”
Maxwell looked troubled. “Svetla is suffering from severe depression now, so…”
”
“So you had to take care of her, right? That’s your business. You don’t have to tell me.”
Camila turned her face away, not wanting Maxwell to see the dissatisfaction in her heart.
“What I wanted to say was not this.”
“What was that?”
“I would like to ask you to give this endorsement opportunity

to Svetla, okay?” Maxwell said softly.
Suddenly, Camila was stunned. She thought she had hallucinated.
“Why?”
“This opportunity was very important to her.”
Camila felt inexplicably frustrated.
“I know this request is a bit excessive, but I still want to plead with you to give her this opportunity. I will compensate for any losses.”
“How do you want to compensate me?”
“I asked, and the endorsement fee for this time is 25 thousand dollars. I thought, if you give this opportunity to Svetla, you don’t owe me the 80 thousand dollars.”
Camila thought, “He didn’t even want 80 thousand dollars?”
“It seems like I should be happy. But I just can’t bring myself to be happy.”
“Indeed, for Svetla, Maxwell was willing to sacrifice everything.”
“Okay, I agree with you. However, I would like to add one more condition.”
“You tell me. As long as it’s something I can do, I promise you,” Maxwell said excitedly.
“I wanted to take care of our divorce procedures while I’m at it.”

Maxwell’s smile froze on his face.
“Did you want to divorce me?”
Camila choked up. She said, “I didn’t want to ruin your relationship with Svetla.”
“Have you already planned it?” Maxwell stood up. His overwhelming presence made Camila a little scared.
“Can’t you even wait for half a year?”
“I was afraid that you and Svetla couldn’t wait,” Camila said, her hand trembling as she leaned on the windowsill. She put her hand in her jacket pocket, trying to maintain a calm demeanor.
Maxwell lifted Camila’s chin and said disappointedly, “Since you want to divorce me so badly, I will grant your wish.”
“Okay,” Camila’s heart felt like ashes. Indeed, Eden was right. Maxwell’s heart only belonged to Svetla.
