Cameron’s smile faded. Nollace did not stay to hear her answer. He picked his jacket up and left. He was certain that the answer was only going to be yes.Cameron waited until he disappeared into the door to lean against her chair, her mood pensive and thoughtful.A woman approached her from the side and informed her, “Mr. Cameron? Ms. Serrano invited you on a date in a restaurant.”A smile shadowed Cameron’s lips. “And she couldn’t even wait.”…The venue was devoid of other patrons. Clearly, Florence had the whole establishment cleared out just for her. Now, her bodyguards stood outside like a row of samurais.Cameron brought two women with her. She found Florence refining her make-up from her seat, her eyes staring at a compact mirror. “Ah, Cameron! You kept me waiting for a little too long.”The cap on her lipstick clicked. She looked up and flashed Cameron her most seductive smile.Cameron pulled a chair out, sat, and chortled. “That’s your winning make-up? You wouldn’t
Florence had put herself in trouble. She didn’t expect Cameron to be on such high alert, but if she didn’t drink it, it would mean there really was something in the drink.Once she was caught, Cameron would not let her or The Serpents get away. She took over the wine glass and downed the content.The glass was empty without a single drop left. “How’s that?”Cameron clapped. “You’re a good drinker.”She turned and got the woman behind her to bring a new bottle of wine over. The woman brought it over, opened it, and poured some into the decanter.Cameron picked up a clean glass and poured the wine in. He then noticed how tipsy Florence looked, so he smiled. “What’s wrong, Ms. Serrano? Not feeling well?”Florence clenched her jaw. “I remember that I have somewhere to get to. I need to go.”The effects had kicked in. She shouldn’t have used such a big dosage.Florence quickly got up and left, and Cameron didn’t stop her but continued drinking alone.The woman noticed that some
Florence was stunned but then glared at her. “You b*tch! How dare you hit me!?”She was going to call the guards but realized she had sent them away.Daisie rubbed her wrist. “I would do that any day if you hit my brother.”Waylon pulled her back after seeing how crazy the woman on the floor was. “You don’t seem to be feeling well. You should ask someone to come and get you.”After saying that, Waylon walked past her while dragging Daisie along. Florence shook with anger, but her men got there at that moment and blocked Waylon and Daisie’s path.The bodyguards helped her up. “Ms. Serrano!”Florence pointed at them and said, out of breath, “Leave the man. Teach that woman a lesson!”Waylon looked at the few men who approached with icy cold eyes. The bodyguards signaled at each other and rushed forward to take him down. However, Waylon turned and bent the man’s hand backward. The sudden pain made him howl while bending down on his knees.Everyone else became more vicious wh
After turning off the hose, the person on the floor froze and trembled, her makeup messed up. She was out of it for a while because that was the first time she was treated that way. She then yelled at the top of her lungs, “I’m going to kill you!”Daisie put her hands on her waist. “I helped you cool down, but you’re trying to kill me. So ungrateful!”Waylon cleared his throat and walked behind her. “Alright, let’s not stay here.”Daisie nodded and was going to leave with Waylon when a few cars blocked the exit of the garage, and a group of men got out. The leader was Manuel Estrada. Manuel saw Florence sitting on the floor and shivering while her men were injured. He took off his jacket, ran toward her, and wrapped the jacket around her. “What happened?”He helped her up, and Florence pointed to Daisie with hate. “Kill this b*tch!”Waylon stood in front of Daisie and faced them. “Ms. Serrano, are you sure you want to turn this into a bigger issue?”Florence looked deliriou
Florence wasn’t expecting someone to derail her plan. Cameron, the *sshole, was messing up her plans again!She started sweating while she clenched her jaw. “Cameron, this is none of your business. Stay out of it.”Cameron was the heir of the Southerns, and even her father Joaqin wouldn’t dare lay a finger on him, especially when Cameron was a very good combatant and was really good with hidden weapons. Even Fabio’s men were wary of his tricks.On top of that, he was as good a fighter as Manuel, and even if there were a group of them, they would be no match for him.Cameron crossed her arms and smiled. “You’re supposed to be my fiancee. How am I supposed to feel when you’re trying to grab a man in the middle of town?”Daisie was shocked but didn’t say anything.‘Florence is Cameron’s fiancee!? He has such terrible taste!’ Florence’s face turned pale, and she was angry but had to keep it together. Her father wanted her to marry Cameron, but if he used this chance to tell on her,
“Did you ask for permission before fighting in my territory?” Cameron slowly walked toward her. “Or do you think my father has no control over The Serpents, so you can do whatever you want here?”Florence trembled. “So you’re helping these outsiders?”“Anyone who’s here would be guests of my family. Even if they need to be taught a lesson, it’s up to us to do it. The Serpents have to power here, unless…”Cameron paused for effect, then raised her brows and said, “The Serpents have now found someone else to work with?”That statement was a bomb that exploded in Florence’s face. ‘Cameron must have noticed something, or he wouldn't have said that with so much conviction. That would be The Serpents’ end!’She knew well that her father was planning to betray the Southern Clan, but it hadn’t happened yet. If Sunny knew about that, The Serpents would probably be sent off the island.She looked at Waylon and clenched her jaw. She had to let this piece of fat meat go. She wasn’t happy a
As for Waylon, he looked just like a flower that grew up in a snowy mountain, sacred and unreachable.It was only now Cameron saw the light of why Florence was so obsessed with him.“As expected of the eldest son of the Goldmanns. Not only are you good at fighting, but you’re calm and collected as well.”Daisie looked at him in shock.‘He knows my brother’s identity?’Waylon narrowed his eyes. “It seems like nothing can escape your eye, Mr. Southern.”“I can see that something big is going to happen in the East Islands.” Cameron turned her head to look at Daisie. She raised his eyebrows and smiled at her. “So, girl, do you want to come home with me? It’s much safer there than staying with your brother.”Daisie was stunned. She looked at Waylon and said, “I’m not scared. I’ll stay with my brother.”Cameron chuckled and went closer to her. “You’re such an idiot. Do you know how much Ms. Serrano is obsessed with your brother? She’s coming for your life. If you come home with me, I
Joaqin’s face sank when he saw his daughter had been beaten up badly. He shot daggers at the people in front of him and hissed. “Hah, you’re just an outsider, yet you have the guts to challenge my family because you’re favored by Mr. Southern Sr. If you don’t give me a suitable explanation today, I won’t let you off so easily.”“So what are you going to do to us, Mr. Serrano? Are you going to invite Mr. Southern Sr. here?” Nollace came out of the hall. He had put on a mask to cover half of his face. With his golden hair, light-colored pupils, and pronounced jawline, he looked exactly like a foreigner, with half of his face covered.He took one step down the stairs after the other and continued. “Well, it seems like I don’t have to introduce myself anymore since you know who I am.” Joaqin harrumphed coldly. “It seems to me that you have no qualms in making us your enemy after what you did to my daughter!” Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, Nollace stopped in front
