Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law

"You little girl..." Charles Colson reached out, pretending to knock her on the head. She quickly hugged her head, shouting, "Brother Charles, are you a gentleman?"

Charles Colson's hand stopped mid-air, giving her a sideways look with a smile, "Why, do you want to test it?"

"As a gentleman, you should keep your promises, be dependable, you know. You said you'd never knock me on the head again, look at your hand..." Camila Ruiz pointed at Charles Colson's hovering big hand, which was already posed to knock her head. Both Charles Colson and Ivan Horne were her big brothers, yet they always liked to knock her head. If they kept doing it, what if she turned silly?

Just joking, when they knocked her, they knew how to control their strength, so it wouldn't really hurt her.

Charles Colson looked at his hand, then at her mischievous face. His feelings for her nearly erupted; he forcefully suppressed the strong emotion, smiling as he drew back his hand, saying, "Alright, Brother Charles keeps his promises."

"I knew our Brother Charles is a real gentleman."

Charles Colson listened to her flattering words with a chuckle.

"Ring ring ring..." A mobile phone rang.

Camila Ruiz's phone rang.

It was Jimmy Horne calling.

As soon as Camila Ruiz saw the caller ID as "Billy," she immediately smiled broadly, her expression becoming coy and gentle. After pressing the answer button, she called out lightly, "Billy."

Charles Colson sat across from her, taking in all her girlish charm, feeling a bit sour inside.

Her girlish charm was all because of Jimmy Horne.

Right in front of him, she spoke on the phone with Jimmy Horne, as if there was no one else around, filled with affection. It wasn't exactly sweet talk, just very normal questions and answers, but to his ears, it sounded like sweet murmurs.

"I'm going to change my outfit at home after work, remember to pick me up later." As the call was about to end, Camila Ruiz tucked a little strand of fallen hair behind her ear, lightly reminding Jimmy Horne, it seemed the two were going on a date.

After the call with Jimmy Horne ended, seeing Charles Colson watching her intently, Camila Ruiz teasingly said, "Brother Charles, have I turned into a fairy? You're staring at me like this."

You're indeed a little fairy, captivating Brother Charles's soul.

Charles Colson didn't voice this thought.

"Oh, right, Brother Charles, I saw someone today." Camila Ruiz suddenly remembered Joseph Colson.

Her mind automatically conjured Joseph Colson's gloomy face. Although Joseph Colson resembled Charles Colson about seventy percent, Charles gave a more handsome impression. Maybe Joseph's excessively gloomy demeanor made him seem serious. Not ugly, but not as good-looking as Charles. She could remember Joseph mostly because of his somber aura.

Charles Colson's eyes flickered, remaining silent, waiting for her to continue.

"I saw Joseph Colson, your brother." Camila Ruiz recounted the events of the morning to Charles Colson.

After finishing, she noticed Charles Colson's expression had turned cold and unfathomable. She quickly reassured him, "Brother Charles, don't worry, this isn't A City, it's T City, Valence Group's territory. If he dares to harm you again, Brother Ivan will surely stand up for you. Anyone who dares to threaten Valence Group's management is challenging the Valence Group. My dad won't sit back and do nothing. You've been with our family for eight years, my parents treat you like a son. If someone wants to harm their son, my dad really won't sit idly by and let it happen. Otherwise, he wouldn't be Hansen Ruiz."

Charles Colson looked at her gratefully, still silent.

He wasn't thinking about what Joseph would do to him; he was concerned about Joseph's appearance. Sharing an encounter with Camila added a touch of eeriness to Joseph's intent, an intent he couldn't quite grasp yet. But his intuition told him Joseph showing up in T City wasn't just to deal with him—it was much more complex.

Camila was the apple of his eye; he couldn't allow Joseph to drag her into the brothers' feud and hatred.

Secretly clenching his fists, gritting his teeth, Charles Colson decided to visit Crystal at the hospital in the evening, hoping to find out Joseph's residence here from her. He needed to confront his brother personally, settling everything without involving Camila!

In the evening.

A sudden heavy rain came.

The rain arrived quickly and left just as swiftly.

After the rain, the air lost some of its impurity, gaining a bit of freshness. All flowers, grasses, and trees seemed renewed, and their leaves washed by rainwater appeared greener, drawing one's gaze.

Because of the rain, the sunset disappeared, making the still early evening somewhat cooler.

Camila Ruiz changed into a long purple dress; at more than 160 cm tall, wearing high heels made her look especially slender. The long dress outlined her slim figure to perfection.

As she came downstairs, the nannies were momentarily stunned, commenting on her beauty.

Charles Colson, who came home with her after work and hadn't gone out yet, watched her, unable to look away from her beauty, his eyes showing a flicker of pain.

Daughters dress to please their beloved. This purple dress was originally a birthday gift he gave her this year, costing him tens of thousands, making it quite suitable for her. But after giving it to her, she never wore it, despite his attempts to coax her repeatedly, telling her she would look stunning in it. Yet she didn't wear it.

Now, she chose to wear it.

Indeed, she looked stunning, but not for him—for that bastard Jimmy Horne!

Charles Colson preferred to call Jimmy Horne a bastard, as if doing so could lessen his jealousy.

Watching the woman he had protected for eight years fall into someone else's arms, only Charles Colson knew how that felt.

"Clap clap!"

The sound of applause rang out.

Jimmy Horne, dressed in a white suit, appeared as elegant and handsome as a prince from a fairytale, but casually leaning against the door somewhat disrupted the noble air he emitted, adding a touch of laziness.

The applause had come from him.

"Billy, you're here." Camila Ruiz smiled as she bypassed Charles Colson and approached Jimmy Horne.

The light fragrance, the beautiful figure, breezed past Charles Colson like the wind, the scent faintly lingering around his nose, the elegant silhouette seemed to be dancing still. But as he blinked, she was already standing in front of another man, grinning coyly. The dimples on both cheeks must be deep, cute, and charming.

Too bad, he couldn't see them.

"Camila, you're gorgeous!" Jimmy Horne praised his beloved without reservation.

"Sweet talker, let's go." Camila Ruiz playfully scolded, yet inside she blossomed with joy. Everyone hopes to appear most beautiful in the eyes of their beloved man.

Jimmy Horne shot Charles Colson a glance, his eyes sharp and cold, carrying a cutting aura.
