Chapter 1344
With an air of nonchalance as if the matter did not concern him at all, Jim remarked, “It’ll be fine. The missus can
always keep Mr. Zachary in check no matter what. No matter how he tries to lash out, he inevitably loses to the
missus once she tries to reason with him. It’s the same thing every
time.”
Sam shot a look at him.
Jim grinned pompously. “It’s true, you know it is! Sam, don’t worry about it, as long as the missus is here, she’ll
keep everything in control no matter what happens. We don’t need to do anything. even if Mr. Zachary gets upset.
Just wait for the missus to step in and handle the situation.”
They knew that no matter how upset Mr. Zachary got, he would never try to hurt the missus.
“Sam, it’s getting late, why don’t you get some rest? I need to get some shuteye too,” Jim said with an exaggerated
yawn before excusing himself and walking away.
Sam was replaying what Jim had told him in his mind. Soon, he concluded that this was why the brat had always
made a point of getting on the missus’s good side. It was because he knew who was truly in control.
Jim was very aware of this as well. He understood this was why he was paid better than the

Meanwhile, at Wiltspoon Hotel, the three members of the Newman family were the last group to leave the hotel.
Partly because Camryn was taking her time.
Seeing that there was hardly anyone else left at the venue at this hour, Mrs. Newman decided that there was no
need to keep up appearances anymore. She ditched Camryn and walked out of the hotel by herself.
Camryn did not have her cane with her. She stumbled around aimlessly and ended up walking back into the hotel
instead.
After walking a short distance, she came to a stop.
“Mr. Callumn?”
Callum was intrigued by Camryn calling his name, “How could you tell that it was me?”
“I caught a whiff of your scent. It’s very distinctive.”
Callum smiled.
“Why did you come back? Did you forget something? Let me help you look for it.”
Camryn blushed slightly upon hearing this. Before they headed out tonight, Mrs. Newman had forbidden her from
taking her sunglasses. Without her sunglasses shielding her, she felt very vulnerable and her expression gave her
away easily.
“I–I think I’m a little lost, I was going to head out.
“Mr. Callum, could you show me the way out of here?”
Callum glanced in the direction of the lobby. He considered for a moment and proceeded to take Camryn’s hand
without a word.
Camryn instinctively recoiled when she felt his touch. She drew two steps backward and stammered, “Just show me
the way out, I can walk myself.”
“I’m worried you’ll bump into something if I let you go by yourself.”
He gave her a reassuring look, “Don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything to you.”
“I know, I know you’re not that kind of person. Still, please just tell me which way to the lobby, I’ll be careful on my
way out. I promise I won’t bump into anything.”
Callum hesitated. He swiftly took off his tie and handed one end of the fabric to Camryn while instructing her, “Hold
on to this and follow me.”
Camryn clenched tightly onto the piece of fabric. It gave her a sense of security and washed away her agitation in
an instant.
“Thank you, Mr. Callum.”
“Let’s go.”

He wondered if the proposition itself would offend her.
Besides, they were not very acquainted with each other.
With Callum leading in front, Camryn finally managed to exit the hotel.
The Newman couple were already gone at this point. They tasked one of their bodyguards to wait for Camryn.
“Ms. Newman.”
The bodyguard promptly greeted Camryn when he noticed her, “Ms. Newman, your parents had instructed me to
take you home.”
Then, he turned to Callum and thanked him politely, “Thank you for walking Ms. Newman out, Mr. Callum.”
“No need, it wasn’t much trouble at all.”
Callum was relieved to see that the Newmans at least had left a bodyguard to escort Camryn back home. He
helped Camryn into the car shortly after that.
After the car drove away, he suddenly recalled that his sister–in–law had specifically instructed him to avoid
drinking tonight. She had also tasked him with sending Camryn home after the banquet.
He considered for a moment and promptly went to get his car. Since he had arrived at the venue earlier than the
others, his car was parked right at the parking lot in front only a short distance away.
