All humans were known to be selfish. If he were to force the other party into a corner, he would leave himself with little room to maneuver. It would only backfire if he was too eager to see immediate success.Joaqin was not an idiot, and this was not the time for him to act too obviously.“Since you don’t like Florence, I won’t force you to accept the marriage arrangement.” Joaqin lifted his gaze. “However, the Southerns should still provide me with an explanation on the incident where Neal Beck made a move on my daughter, shouldn’t you?”Cameron fiddled with the empty teacup on the table. “It’s not difficult for us to explain that, but Ms. Serrano is the one who created a stir at the hall, so shouldn’t she be the one who apologizes first?”Joaqin was slightly displeased. “It’s Florence's fault for making a scene at the hall, and she can apologize for that, but isn’t that too intentional for him to beat her up to that extent?”She asked him in return, “If someone were to cause tr
Joaqin turned around and ignored her. “Since you don’t want to apologize to them, you’re not allowed to get out of this building from today onward. Now go back to your room.”She bit her lower lip and dashed upstairs exasperatedly.Manuel witnessed the whole process of Florence being wronged, and what he saw tortured him in all possible ways. He had been with the young lady for so long and had never seen her be wronged. He did not understand the reason Joaqin would compromise with the Southerns.‘Those people deserve to die.’Florence had been grounded, and Joaqin had to send someone else to the Commune to apologize on her behalf to show their sincerity, which was the end of the matter.A few days later, Cameron went to the port to check on the goods. The Southern Clan went through the goods that they imported and exported very rigorously, and any non-compliant or illegal goods would be destroyed immediately.She took her men on board the cargo ship, and the female bodyguard behi
Cameron turned her head and said to the people behind her, “In the future, whenever the goods from this supplier appear at our port, they’ll be charged four times the import fee. If they don’t want to pay it, you’ll ask them to get their *ss and their goods out of the port. Do you understand me?”The person behind him nodded. “Yes, sir.”Cameron looked at the staff and placed her hand on his shoulder. He trembled from head to toe and did not dare to speak. “Contact the owner of the East Gate Clubhouse. Tell him that if he doesn’t have a brain, then he should close the club down as soon as possible.”She then left with her men.Back in the car, Mahina felt that something was wrong. “Mr. Southern, it’s obvious that Mr. Puzo is the one who played the owner of the East Gate Clubhouse, but why would you say what you just said?”Cameron rubbed her temples. “Do you think that the owner of the East Gate Clubhouse is mindless? He sold all his liquor to Fabio for no reason and then paid twi
Cameron flipped back in the air, grabbed a rod to block a blow, kicked his calf with a low kick, and instantly snapped his arm.The man screamed in pain and could no longer move.Cameron pushed him away, flexibly spun the bat in her hand, and glanced at the men who were about to approach her. “What are you waiting for? Come at me together!”The group of men rushed up to her together.Cameron took a step to the side, came to the left side of the person dashing in the front, blocked his attack with the hand with the brass knuckle, and swung the iron rod toward the crowd.She ducked, avoiding the sneak attack, and the steel rod in her hand swung across the air and hit the opponent’s thigh and arm. And as the sound of bone cracking echoed, those men fell to the ground among the chaos.The two of them fought their way through the middle of the group of goons, and all the seriously injured men in black fell to the ground and could no longer get back up. At that moment, the leader's exp
Waylon was surprised, then he suddenly laughed. “Are you trying to order me around?”He was just there to see what was going on and help out, but now he was being ordered around.Cameron opened the car door and smiled. “You’re here anyway and already helped. Why get hung up on the details? Hurry, can’t you see there’s so much blood?”Mahina was rendered speechless. Cameron made it sound like all this blood wasn’t because of her.Waylon sighed and helped Mahina move the man into the car. Then Cameron ordered her to take him away and asked someone to clean up the place. Cameron tied the men up and sat into the backseat of Waylon’s car, casually making him her driver. “Let’s go.”Waylon laughed, started the car, and drove away. Waylon and Cameron walked into Southern manor, and the butler who just got news rushed forward, looking worried. “Sir, I heard Mahina say that someone tried to ambush you. Are you hurt?”“No.” She looked back at Waylon. “All thanks to Mr. Goldmann.”The
“If you didn’t bring enough money, it’s fine.” She took out a crumpled cheque and placed it in front of him. “We have banks on the island.”Daisie smiled because she saw how Cameron was trying very hard to get money from her brother’s pocket.Waylon held the cheque with two fingers. “Are you sure?”Cameron nodded. Daisie’s heart dropped, and she looked at Cameron sorrily. Colton was a miser, and no one could get money from him. On the other hand, Waylon would need someone to repay him tenfold if they took money from him.Cameron looked like a smart person, so why would she think that Waylon would just give her the money?That afternoon, Sunny rushed back urgently. He found out that Cameron had been attacked and had already sent someone to find out who the attackers were.Even he knew that Fabio would not openly send mercenaries into the Southern Clan’s turf to get rid of Cameron. Cameron told him everything about what happened at the East Gate Clubhouse in the study.Sunny
“The owner of East Gate probably hasn’t told Fabio that we have confiscated their liquor. Tonight at 8:00 p.m., Parkin’s supplier will be at the southwest port. If we can get there before 8:00 p.m. and pretend to be from Parkin, we can get the boat to dock at our port. Then we’ll get our shipment to the southwest port and switch it with them.”Mahina thought that it was risky. “Are you sure that’s going to work?”“The suppliers only care about payment. All they have to do is to get the boat to the dock, deliver the shipment, and they’re done.”Cameron picked up her towel, got out of the tub, and then wrapped it around her wet body. “Fabio just started taking over the suppliers, so the delivery guys wouldn’t know the people from Parkin well enough. If we send someone they’ve never met, they'll believe it as long as we can prove that we’re from Parkin.”Meanwhile, at the Serrano residence…When Florence found out that the group of men failed to take out Cameron, she angrily slapped
The bodyguard opened the door to the clubhouse for her. It was still idle. There were no other customers other than some staff.The server walked forward. “I’m sorry, ma’am. We’re not open today.”Cameron played with her hair sultrily which stunned the server. “I’m not here as a customer. I’m here to see the owner. Please inform him.”Someone went to inform him and Mr. Peralta, who was worrying about his confiscated crates of liquor, became alert when he heard that someone was looking for him. “Who is it?”“It’s a woman.”Collin was surprised and relieved. Anyone would be alright as long as it wasn’t a Southern. Cameron was waiting in the private room, and Collin was stunned when he entered.The woman sitting on the couch was so beautiful it was impossible to forget her face. Men were all attracted to beauty, so when he met someone who looked like that, he just couldn’t get his eyes off her.All the beautiful women in the world would receive special treatment from men. Even
