I discovered my whole family had stolen my good fortune

chapter 3

Paxton didn't come home all night.

He used to make excuses before, but now that he knows I only have a month left to live, he can't even be bothered to put on a show.

Sophia gently placed a freshly baked cake in front of me. "Camila, you should eat something first. Your stomach was bothering you yesterday."

I didn't take it, but pulled her hand and sat down on the couch with her.

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you. You know I grew up in an orphanage. Yesterday, the director Freya Lopez called me. She's getting older and accidentally injured her leg. All these years, she's been taking care of the children at the orphanage, but she has no children of her own. I want to go stay with her for a while and take good care of her."

Sophia frowned slightly, her tone showing displeasure. "Camila, you're part of our family. Paxton works hard outside, and you should be the one holding this home together."

I held her hand and spoke honestly: "Sophia, let me be straight with you. Freya told me that she has no children, and I'm the closest person to her after all these years. She's decided to transfer both of her properties to my name. You and James have always been loving toward me, and Paxton has treated me well too. So I've made up my mindI'll transfer both properties to Paxton's name."

Upon hearing this, Sophia's eyes immediately lit up.

She gripped my hand tightly, her voice trembling with excitement. "I knew you were such a thoughtful and filial child! Go ahead, leave today! I'll handle things with Paxton, so you don't need to worry about anything!"

I nodded with a smile.

That evening, Sophia called Paxton home.

I hired a fake lawyer and signed many fraudulent documents. Paxton was so immersed in his great joy that he had no idea the divorce agreement was hidden among them.

The moment he signed his name, I felt the strings binding me inside snap one by one.

A long-lost strength surged from deep within my bones throughout my entire body.

The comments were all celebrating for me.

Great! The female lead finally broke free from the Freeman family and will never have her luck stolen again.

The female lead is no longer part of the Freeman family. Since the Freemans failed to complete this luck transfer, what awaits them next is karmic backlash. I can't wait to see it.

The lawyer said he needed to take the documents to process the transfer, and Paxton happily saw the fake lawyer out.

He had already started planning with James and Sophia how to use those two properties.

"We'll sell one and let Phoebe and Kevin live in the other."

He was so excited that he forgot himself and blurted out about his mistress and illegitimate child right in front of me.

Sophia quickly tried to interrupt him, but Paxton glanced at me coldly and said, "Just go take good care of Freya. Don't bother coming back."

With that, he turned around and violently threw all my luggage downstairs.

Standing outside the door, I looked down at the real divorce agreement in my hands as tears fell heavily onto the pages.

After ten years, I had finally reclaimed my life.

I looked forward to their family's destruction as payment for the ten years they owed me and my child's life!

Freya had indeed injured her leg. I briefly explained Paxton's affair to her, and she was very understanding, telling me to settle in comfortably.

It was perfect timing for me to take good care of her too.

That evening, as I was preparing to rest, Paxton suddenly called.

I answered the phone, and before I could speak, I heard his anxious voice: "Honey, you need to come to the Ocean Hotel right now!"

Before I could figure out what was happening, the comments filled me in.

Paxton was supposed to meet a woman, but he went to the wrong room and messed with Nash Ramirez's womanthe son of New York's richest man!
