Camilla patted her back gently and said sincerely,
You’ve waited for me for so long.”
“Thank you, Ava.
Ava calmed down and noticed Camilla’s abnormality.
“Camilla, what happened to your eye?” she asked nervously.
Camilla explained gently, “I’m still blind, but the doctor said that it won’t take long for me to recover. Don’t worry.”
Nina had only joined the company in the past two years. She had never seen Camilla before, but she saw that the person accompanying Camilla was Charles’s senior assistant, David. Besides, Ava looked very excited.,
This woman was undoubtedly Camilla, who had been a vegetable for five
years.
After confirming Camilla’s identity, Nina sized her up several times. The disgust and hostility in her eyes were so strong that they could not be
hidden.
Camilla did not care.
Nina was obviously Ophelia’s person. It was normal for her to hate Camilla.
Nina walked forward leisurely. “Ms. Winslow, it’s really better to meet you than to hear about you.”
Camilla raised her eyebrows and smiled, “Ms. Winslow? Ever since seven years ago, everyone in the company has known me as R&D manager, or Mrs. Hawthorne. Do you not acknowledge my status, or do you not treat

me as Mr. Hawthorne’s wife?”
When she said this, there was a faint smile on her lips. Her tone was gentle, but there was actually a knife hidden in the cotton. Nina was extremely embarrassed.
At this moment, Nina suddenly saw a woman walking over from behind. Her eyes lit up as she waved and shouted, “Hi, Ophelia.”
Camilla slowly turned around and looked at Ophelia through her sunglasses.
Finally, they met officially.
Ophelia was wearing a white professional suit today. Her makeup was also gentle and clean. Her long, chestnut–colored, curly hair seemed to have been carefully designed.
“Hi, Camilla.” Ophelia stopped in front of Camilla and revealed a sweet and generous smile. “I just heard from Mr. Hawthorne that you came to the company to play. I was afraid that David would not be attentive. enough, so I came to see if there was anything I could help with.”
Camilla could not help but sneer in her heart. Ophelia spoke as if she were the mistress of the company and Camilla had become a guest.
Nina held Ophelia’s arm affectionately and took the opportunity to complain, “Ophelia, I just moved your things to the office, and Ava came in to cause trouble. She insisted on questioning Mr. Hawthorne’s appointment.”
The colleagues from the R&D department had already gathered around to watch the show.
Ophelia felt a little helpless.
“Nina, thanks for helping me move my things, but the manager’s position

was previously held by Camilla.” Ophelia looked at Camilla
apologetically. “Camilla, you woke up too suddenly. I didn’t have time to explain.”
Camilla watched Ophelia’s performance coldly through her sunglasses.
The more humble and aloof Ophelia acted, the easier it was for the people around her to feel sorry for her and be willing to stand up for her.
As expected, Nina became a pawn. She rolled her eyes at Camilla with hostility and said indignantly, “Mrs. Hawthorne, you’ve been in a vegetative state for five years. We can’t keep the position of the R&D manager empty for you, right? Besides, Ophelia has been the acting manager for the past few years and has completed several new medicine developments one after another. The market feedback is very good. To be honest, Ophelia deserves to be the R&D manager.”
Ophelia stopped her. “Nina, stop talking.”
The more Ophelia tried to stop her, the more Nina wanted to avenge her.
She straightened her neck and said loudly, “Mrs. Hawthorne, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the other colleagues in the R&D department. Everyone acknowledges Ophelia’s ability and agrees to her being a manager. You can’t bully ordinary employees like us just because you’re Mr. Hawthorne’s wife, right?”
