At that moment, Callum already had a cold face. He frowned and looked at me with a distant and disgusted expression.

It felt like my admiration for him was filthy, something I couldn't bear to see. After that, he wouldn't even spare me a glance.

He said, "Vera, as the legitimate daughter of the Holden Family, you're too shameless. It's truly disgusting."

Even after three years, those words still felt like a guilty verdict, filling me with shame whenever I thought of them.

As soon as Callum approached me, my complexion turned pale.

Three years ago, when I felt too clean, he saw me as dirty and disgusting as hell.

"General Smith, this servant has realized my mistake. I have reflected on my mistakes in the army for three years. I have learned the rules for three years and know all the duties. I will never think of Xander again. Please forgive me, General," I said.

Hazel sighed, exclaiming in surprise, "Miss Vera."

She wanted to help me up, so Hazel added, "Why are you calling yourself a slave and calling your stepbrother the general? You are the legitimate daughter of the Holden Family. Please remember that."

With that, Hazel suddenly stopped and started crying.
