Chapter 289
The newly released movie was a flop, with no one showing interest. It made no impact and was pulled from theaters three days after its release!
Moreover, all the endorsements Camila had recently secured were withdrawn, and the resources that were just handed to her were quickly snatched away by others.
In short, Camila, who had just been lifted up, was now forcefully brought down again.
The mysterious backer, who had supported her and paved the way for her, retracted the privileges they had given her, and she, who had just become proud, was now reduced to a pitiful joke.
The ups and downs weren’t the real story, though. The news that truly ignited public gossip was that she had recently been spotted in Ablil, entering and exiting the Glover residence!
Everyone knew about the Glover family. They were the unrivaled rulers of Ablil.
They were second only to the Russell family of Seldvale in terms of wealth, status, and power.
Most importantly, the relationship between the Russell and Glover family was always
contentious!
Camila seemingly siding with the Glover family led to speculation–had she offended the Russell family and switched sides? Or was it possible that her mysterious backer had always been from the Glover family?
The rumors and theories were endless.
Despite the public’s fervent curiosity, they tried to investigate the matter through every possible channel, but no useful information was uncovered.
Naturally, the public believed that since she had aligned herself with the Glover family, she had become the new favorite of the Glover family’s head, and her comeback was only a matter of time!
What the public didn’t know, however, was that at that very moment, their “new favorite” was kneeling on the floor of the Glover residence, scrubbing it.
The elegant and unique Glover residence in Abl has several naturally formed underground hot springs.
The springs emitted a constant wisp of steam, luxurious and indulgent.
Camila was scrubbing the floor, exhausted and unable to straighten her back. Since no one was watching, she casually tossed the rag aside, planning to stand up and stretch her body.
Just then, the sound of a wheelchair rolling across the stone bridge between the springs reached her ears.

He was coming!
She was so frightened that she immediately knelt, grabbed the rag, and frantically cleaned the floor. Despite being prepared, her body trembled uncontrollably.
The sound of the wheelchair grew louder.
A gust of wind blew, dispersing the thin mist, and the silhouette in the wheelchair became clear. It was a young, exceptionally handsome man.
The man appeared to be in his late 20s. His pale skin rarely saw sunlight, and only his thin lips showed the faintest trace of color.
His sharp eyebrows and brown eyes were unreadable, giving off an unsettling aura. When he gazed from a distance, it felt like a demonic being from hell was staring at one, which was extremely dangerous.
He was Maurice Glovers, the head of the Glover family in Ablil.
Everyone knew Maurice, also known as “Mr. Glover“, was the ruthless and decisive head of the Glover family.
What no one knew, however, was that he was a cripple who could only sit in a wheelchair.
Camila held her breath, obediently kneeling by the side, lowering her head, and waiting for the wheelchair to pass.
But unexpectedly, the wheelchair suddenly stopped.
A voice came from above her head. “Why are you trembling? Are you afraid of me?”
She shuddered again. She didn’t want to, but she couldn’t control her fear of him.
A month ago, when Stephan said, “Smarten up,” she knew that her lies had been exposed and that her stolen dreams were fleeting illusione
