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
Daisie was quite surprised. She had watched musicals, plays, and operas, but this was the first time she had experienced something like this. Normally, she would only see it in a movie or when she was shooting a show.Cameron picked up the cup and leaned on the table. “What do you think? It feels good, right? We have good tea, and a beauty is playing music for us.”Daisie turned her head around to look at Cameron. “It seems to me that you really know how to enjoy life.”Cameron took a sip of tea and replied, “Well, we have to enjoy the moment while we live. I noticed that you were really bored, so I brought you out to enjoy the traditions of our island. After all, I won’t allow you to go back without gaining anything from my island.”Sipping on the tea, Daisie replied, “You guys really know how to enjoy your life.” “That’s all thanks to my grandfather.” Cameron chuckled and waved her hand. “My grandfather was a traditional man. He always taught my father not to forget his origin
Nollace frowned. “What if you already know where the money has gone?”Sunny took a sip of tea and looked at the table for a long while before replying, “Then they can’t stay here anymore. This is the last act of mercy I’ll show him.”After that, he added, “Oh yeah, help me to keep an eye on the people around Florence. I suspect that some of them have already betrayed Joaqin. It’s just that he doesn’t know about it.”Daisie was standing in front of the door. She did not knock on the door because she overheard their conversation.Just when she was hesitating, the voice of a waiter erupted behind her. “Miss, are you a guest from this private room? Is there anything I can help you with?”Daisie jumped up in fright and waved her hand. “Nope.”She hastily left.Nollace opened the door. He saw that the waiter was standing outside of the door, staring in the direction where Daisie had disappeared with a confused face. He looked in that direction, and the figure that disappeared into t
But Daisie did not feel any of these emotions—all she felt was distress.She felt sorry for the burden that Nollace had to bear and the danger and situation that he had to be in.Daisie also wanted to face them with him, but she could not drag him down.After a long time, Daisie broke away from Nollace’s arms, and her throat was dry. “Nollace, I should leave now. Cameron won’t be able to give an explanation to Waylon if he fails to locate me.”Nollace pecked her forehead, and the hint of tenderness penetrated into her heart.He then let go of her. “Go back then, and don’t run around.”Daisie nodded, opened the door, and walked out of the corridor.Nollace leaned against the wall, raised his head, and took a deep breath, although there was a moment when he just did not want to let her go.Daisie sorted her emotions out and returned to the private room.Cameron was already sitting in the room, eating snacks comfortably. “You’re back so soon?”She sounded as if she knew who Dais
‘His voice sounds slightly androgynous, which may be due to his slim physique. His choice of attire doesn’t show his figure much. However, a man’s waist and shoulders shouldn’t look as slender as his. Even his neck looks lean, and his hands don’t look as big as those of men.’Waylon did not utter a single word, and no one knew what he was thinking about.Daisie knocked on her head which was still running wild. “Forget it. Maybe I’m just overthinking things.”At the Parkin Chamber of Commerce…The bodyguards in black dragged Collin into the office. Collin had no idea of what he had done to provoke the people from the Parkin Chamber of Commerce. He looked at Buchanon, who was sitting on the couch. “Mr. Gibson, what’s all this for?”“What’s all this for?”Buchanon thought of the words that Fabio had said to threaten him this morning. If he really did not find out any clue, that was it for him, and the more he thought about it, the more he could not suppress the anger that was burnin
