Chapter 988 - Chapter 988 Chapter 961 Torturing Camden is Fine

Chapter 988: Chapter 961 Torturing Camden is Fine Chapter 988: Chapter 961 Torturing Camden is Fine “Who asked him to think so little of me? He deserves to be anxious for a bit.” It was a small revenge for his absence today–once she let off steam, the matter had to be turned over and not dwelled upon anymore.

Even though she was upset, she knew Camden’s absence today wasn’t due to his own willful decision; it wasn’t his fault. If she got angry with him, wouldn’t that hurt their feelings for each other? But she couldn’t quench the fire inside without an outlet, so scaring him a little with any excuse would settle the score.

The driver understood and couldn’t help but admire Kiara’s magnanimity–no wonder he came in person to attend her wedding. She really had a way with people and tasks.

“Dr. Clark, I’ll drive faster; you should see Vice President Yuno in about half an hour.”

That half-hour nearly drove Camden to madness.

Kiara’s indifferent words on the phone about not needing to redo the ceremony had frozen the blood in his veins.

When he called back, her phone was turned off.

Anyone would take those words to mean she didn’t want him anymore.

If the ceremony wasn’t going to be redone, it meant she had given up on him.

Not to mention Kiara looking down on him, Camden himself couldn’t stand his behavior today.

The one in ten thousand chance had happened to him, and no matter how slim that chance was, he had completely let Kiara down.

He could justify his mission, but he failed the woman he loved.

Standing her up on the wedding day, he didn’t even know how she faced the absent wedding feast.

Maybe she left in a fit of anger, maybe the wedding was a mess, but none of that mattered to him. What mattered was, she must be heartbroken.

Camden wished he could slap himself, but he really was helpless.

When he received the notification from his superiors, his car had already stopped downstairs. As soon as he got in the car, the mission came in, and he was obliged to turn off his phone.

For an arrest of this level, communication with the outside world was absolutely prohibited.

He didn’t even have time to make a call to her, left her without saying anything. The suspect they caught today posed a significant threat to society–catching him meant saving many innocent civilians. The higher-ups said anyone involved in the operation was a hero.

But because of this, he became a deserter at his own wedding…

Mario Yuno kept dialing her number; he guessed she would be angry, but he’d rather have her scold or argue with him than to hear her say they didn’t need to reschedule the wedding.

“Old Yu Moore, we’re all waiting for you. What are you doing–huh?” Ryan Wood, who was part of the cooperative department also involved in this major inter-provincial and inter-departmental operation, was startled by Mario Yuno’s appearance at that moment.

Mario Yuno’s eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have lost his soul, filled with a sense of despair. His fists were clenched tight, his whole body taut.

“Is your sister-in-law angry with you?” Ryan Wood looked at Mario Yuno with sympathy.

To have run off without a word on the wedding day, the guy would probably get a severe scolding.

“If she were just angry with me, that’d be great…” Mario Yuno held his phone tightly, his heart aching to the point of suffocation.

One thought circled repeatedly in his mind; his daughter-in-law didn’t want him anymore, didn’t want him…

“After the operation is over, go and explain things to your sister-in-law. She’s not unreasonable; she should understand–”

“She understands me, but who understands her?! Just because you’re reasonable, does that mean you have to suffer so much? Try imagining how it feels to be stood up on your wedding day!” Mario said, heartbroken.

Every time he thought of the injustice Kiara had endured, it felt like he was about to explode.

Whether Kiara forgave him or not was not important, for now, he was overcome with guilt and self-reproach.

All he could think about was the injustice he had inflicted upon her today.

What was supposed to be a joyous occasion, a day of mutual love and affection, the happiest day of his life, had turned into the day he committed such an unforgivable act, even though it was out of helplessness.

Ryan Wood knew Mario was suffering inside and could understand the mix of sadness and helplessness he felt, offering his temperate advice, contrary to their usual heated exchanges.

“I know you’re feeling bad right now, but it’s the job we do. We’ve been through hell and high water, and we can surely get past this. First, head inside and finish the meeting. Once you’ve sorted things out, just explain it to your sister-in-law. If that doesn’t work, I’ll pull my guys together, and you bring yours, and we’ll all go to explain to her. As long as she’s not mad at you, we’ll do whatever she wants. After all, you didn’t do this for yourself, it was to catch a criminal, right?”

The spirit of friendship shone through at this moment.

Mario had no intention of having everyone explain to Kiara. For now, he could only finish his official duties and then, as soon as he had fought his battles and the meeting was over, he would fly straight to Kiara. If Kiara didn’t forgive him, he vowed to renounce humanity!

His little treasure he had won over through so much effort wasn’t going to slip away – no matter what she asked of him, he had to accomplish it!

The summary meeting was supposed to be a thrilling celebration for everyone involved. However, with Vice President Yuno, who looked dejected like a man who had just lost his wife, the atmosphere of the entire meeting was significantly subdued.

Each department made their summaries, sharing their perspectives on the recent joint apprehension. As the reservist called back to assist, Mario also made a precise report before watching the clock, feeling time trickle by excruciatingly slow.

Would Kiara be so angry that she’s spitting fire?

Or maybe she’s sharpening a knife, ready to carve him into pieces?

She hasn’t already packed her bags, ready to cut ties and break up with him, has she?

They’re already married, so it wouldn’t just be breaking up – it would be getting a divorce.

The word “divorce” flashed in his mind, bold and enlarged, causing Mario a pain that was even worse than any physical injury he had sustained before.

No, he couldn’t; the good daughter-in-law he had worked so hard to bring home, he wouldn’t divorce her even if it killed him.

But what if Kiara’s anger didn’t subside? Even if he stubbornly refused to divorce, what if her perpetual anger harmed her health?

Just the thought of it pained him deeply, and Camden silently berated himself hundreds of times.

The wait was agonizingly long, making each second torturous, and for some reason, today’s meeting felt particularly drawn out.

When all departments had finished presenting, seeing that the person in charge hadn’t announced the meeting’s end, Camden coldly asked,

“Is there anything else?”

Here, Mario’s rank was among the highest, his words held much weight, and the meeting’s host quickly explained with an apologetic smile,

“Here’s the situation – we just received a notification from above. Linville is deploying extra support for the continuing interrogation and investigation of the major economic crime suspect we apprehended. We need your cooperation and coordination–”

“My only job is to aid in the capture; what follows has nothing to do with us. If there’s nothing else, let’s wrap up this meeting quickly,” Mario said, his words laced with a tinge of impatience.

He had cooperated by using a newly developed product by Yuno Corp as bait to lure the suspect. They had caught the person, what more was there to say!
