She Left the CEO and Reclaimed Her Empire
Chapter 238
After Chloe left, Camille went upstairs, powered up her laptop, and began working.
An hour later, Lucas sent over some documents for her review.
Camille opened them immediately. The first thing that caught her attention were three newly listed properties, their locations clearly marked.
She froze when she saw the details.
All three were vacant units in the Harrington family's residential compound, positioned remarkably close to Damien's mansion.
Truth be told, though Damien had previously purchased the house opposite his for her, that alone hadn't completely eased her worries.
Helena Lancaster loved her daily walks. Even if the Hartwell family no longer lived across the street, being in the same neighborhood meant inevitable encounters.
This had been a constant concern. But now...
Studying the new agreement - was Damien attempting to eliminate her worries once more?
While likely just expressing gratitude and ensuring she wouldn't overthink, these properties felt meticulously tailored to her needs.
She refused to dwell on any deeper implications. Moving on to the next document.
It stated Damien would first transfer two billion dollars to her as liquid assets.
Having witnessed his wealth before - both at the auction and when learning he'd bought homes for the Hartwell family - seeing him casually move billions still stunned her.
After confirming everything was in order, Camille contacted Lucas.
The agreement was signed swiftly, and the funds appeared in her account moments later.
Regarding the properties, Damien's lawyer mentioned the transfer was processing. The deeds would be delivered within days.
By the time everything was settled, morning had faded into afternoon.
With Helena Harrington recently undergoing surgery, Marianne worried she might feel lonely and decided to visit the hospital.
Camille joined her.
Starting Monday, she'd be buried in work with little time for hospital visits.
At the hospital, Camille spotted Selene again.
She wasn't particularly concerned about Selene and Damien's relationship. The first time she'd seen Selene waiting outside the car, she'd barely noticed.
But today, with biting winds and frigid temperatures, Selene's deliberate outdoor vigil was clearly meant for Camille to see.
The message was obvious: their relationship remained unaffected. Nothing Camille did could come between them.
Camille smirked but said nothing.
She glanced at Marianne, uncertain how she felt about Selene.
At that moment, Marianne happened to look down, missing Selene entirely.
Camille didn't mention it. Linking arms with Marianne, they entered the hospital.
Selene's presence meant Damien was inside.
Sure enough, he stood by Helena's bedside when they entered.
He greeted them politely.
Camille remained impassive.
Helena, however, brightened immediately. She grasped Marianne's hand. "You shouldn't trouble yourself to visit me, dear friend."
"After all these years, don't speak such nonsense."
As they settled in, both women noticed Helena's improved condition - better color, brighter eyes, more energy.
Their relief was palpable.
