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
Cameron’s red lips curled. “Enemy of my enemy. I’m sure you don’t want your finances to be affected because of the Southern Clan, right?”Collin hesitated but was swayed.Cameron called out, and a few bodyguards came in carrying a few crates of liquor. They placed them on the table and opened one of them.Cameron took out a bottle of red wine. “Do you want to take a look?”Collin took it and was shocked. “These are…”Cameron’s smile widened. “The liquor that you ordered. To be honest, Ms. Serrano has some spies at the Southern Port, and they’ve helped a lot.”Collin wouldn’t have guessed that the person who would end up helping him was Florence. Cameron raised her brows. “What do you think?’“Great, perfect.” Something came to his mind, then his face froze. “But how are you going to explain to the Southern Clan?”She curled her hair around her finger. “We’ve swapped the good-quality liquor with counterfeit liquor. They’ll never know.”Collin was elated about this unexpected
By the time the car arrived at the Southern mansion, most of the maids had fallen asleep. Mahina opened the door for Cameron, and the latter hastily went into the courtyard after getting out of the car.However, little did she expect that she would run into someone.The surroundings were dimly lit, and the light that came from the house had given her the chance to see who the person was in front of her. Cameron’s heart skipped a beat, and she froze.Looking at the scantily-clad woman with heavy makeup, Waylon fell silent.Cameron covered her face with her hand, and her palm was filled with sweat.She had forgotten that Waylon was staying in their house.“M—” When Mahina saw Waylon, she was so shocked that her soul nearly left her body. She rushed forward and covered Cameron with a jacket. “Miss, this is Mr. Goldmann. He’s Mr. Southern’s friend.”Waylon frowned. He gazed at the woman’s half-covered face and chuckled. “Since when Mr. Southern Sr. has a daughter?”“She isn’t Mr.
Looking at Waylon, Cameron chuckled. “Isn’t it normal for me to have a lover? Besides, she’s shy, so she left before daybreak.” The butler standing behind her chimed in. “But sir, I woke up before dawn, and I didn’t see any woman leaving our house…”Cameron turned her head around and glared at him, causing the butler to feel even more confused.Waylon smiled but did not say anything further. Cameron was not someone who liked to keep secrets. Sunny knew about that better than anyone else. He knew something was not right seeing her reaction, and his face turned stern. He hastily changed to another topic and asked, “Have you figured out who ambushed you?”“Not yet, but considering the fact that they had the guts to come to our territory to pick a fight and attack me openly, they must have hired someone from Fabio to kill me.”Sunny wiped his hand with a tissue paper and continued. “I guess they didn’t tell Fabio about what they did either.”“I’ve gotten something on my side.” Way
“It isn’t necessary,” Daisie said decisively. “I can’t cause him any trouble. I’m okay as long that I know he’s fine.”Cameron smiled but did not say anything. She liked Daisie more than her Waylon. After all, she was a sweet and considerate young woman. Not only that, but she was carefree and straightforward, unlike her eldest brother.If she had a younger sister like her, she would spoil her with every last bit of the money she had.Meanwhile…Nollace was checking the account of The Commune in the study. Soon, he realized something strange. A few unknown funds got cashed out from The Commune's account in the past few years when The Serpents took the helm. Not only that, but it was not a small amount of money. It was a $600,000 withdrawal per time. He summoned Jake into the study. Jake was the helper that Sunny had assigned to him. He handed the account book to Jake and ordered, “I need you to help me find out where this particular fund has gone to.”Jake took over the accoun
