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
Not long after the message was conveyed, Buchanon received a call from Fabio.Fabio said something to him through the call, and Buchanon agreed to what he said with a smile. “Yes, understood. Don’t worry, I’ll handle this well.”He then ended the call, turned around, and glanced at Collin with a ruthless expression. “It’s a pity, Collin. Since your plan has been revealed, Mr. Puzo can’t keep you by his side anymore.”Collin’s expression changed drastically, and he climbed to Buchanon’s feet. “I’ve really been wronged! It’s Ms. Serrano who tricked me! Please ask Mr. Puzo to give me another chance!”Buchanon ignored Collin’s cry and waved his hand.A bodyguard walked up to his back, covered his mouth, grabbed his head at the top and the chin, and exerted brute force abruptly.Collin’s head was twisted, and the bodyguard dragged his body downstairs.On the other side of the town, in a hot spring sauna…The lighting in the VIP room was dim, and Fabio was soaking in a hot spring bat
Joaqin raised his head, and his face looked expressionless. “Are you the one who hired someone from the Skull Club to assassinate Cameron on their territory?”Florence did not expect that her father would question her about this, and her expression dimmed. “So what if it’s me? As long as Cameron is dead, we’ll be able to—”“You f*cking piece of sh*t!” Joaqin was so infuriated that he swept the teacup on the table to the floor. He then got up, walked up to Florence, raised his hand, and slapped her.Florence, who got beaten once again, gnashed her teeth, and her eyes turned bloodshot as she burst into laughter. “You’re always so afraid of the Southerns. No wonder you can only be bullied by them throughout all these years. You’re nothing but a coward!”“You shut up!”The blue veins on Joaqin’s forehead bulged. “You actually have the balls to do such things on the Southern Clan’s territory. Do you really think you’re capable enough to deal with Cameron?”Florence turned her head to
Cameron raised the whip in her hand. “Do you want to learn?”Daisie was startled and pointed to the whip. “You want me to learn how to use a whip from you?”“Don’t underestimate the power of whips. Whips are considered one of the cold weapons that have existed since ancient times. There are eleven ways to maneuver a whip, and there are soft and hard whips. You can use a single whip or dual whips. Metal whips and leather whips are the most common ones, and this is a leather whip, the more common one out of the two. It’s the easiest to maneuver for beginners.”Daisie took the short red whip from her. It was indeed made of leather, and it felt cool to the touch. The key was that it was very portable, and the craftsmanship was very pretty.Cameron smiled. “If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”Daisie was startled for a split second. “That’s not very appropriate...”Cameron shoved the whip into her hand. “There’s no need to be this polite with me. Take it. I’ll get Mahina to teach you
Waylon smiled. “You pay a lot of attention to my sister.”Cameron raised her brow and smiled. “Because I like her.”She then looked toward Daisie, who was very energetic, and clicked her tongue. “A girl who is so adorable and innocent, yet determined. How I wish she was my wife.”Waylon looked at her and sighed. “Have you forgotten about Ms. Torres already?”Cameron sighed. “Is she still on your mind?”He casually said, “Somewhat.” He then raised his brows and looked at her. “It was dark that night, but she looked familiar.”Cameron crossed her arms. “Do you think all women that you meet for the first time look familiar?”Waylon didn’t reply while they looked at each other.Daisie fell and distracted them, moving their attention to her.Mahina walked over to help her up. “Are you alright, Ms. Vanderbilt?”Daisie shook her head because her arm hurt and was stiff. Waylon walked over and held her shoulder, then calmly said, “You’ve just been learning for a day. There’s no need
This sudden piece of news shocked Cameron and Waylon. Sunny walked behind his desk and sat on the leather chair, looking miserable. “I guess my concerns were correct.”Cameron thought out loud. “Do you think it’s Florence?”“I can’t be sure,” replied Sunny. “If she was cruel enough to kill her own father, she would have done it sooner. I think it might be someone close to her.”If someone close to her gave the idea to get killers from the Skull Club to kill Cameron in their own territory, they probably could get rid of Joaqin.Joaqin was the leader of The Serpents. After his death, The Serpents would be led by Florence. That person must have wished that she would take Joaqin’s place.Waylon raised his brow. “Manuel seems suspicious. He might just be involved.”Sunny nodded. “I think it’s him too.”Cameron laughed. “I’ve heard rumors that he’s loyal to Florence because of love. Joaqin would not let his men date his daughter, so if he died, Florence would take his place, and Man
