If Cameron hadn’t scared Manuel away with Jaoqin’s death, there was no way Manuel would have given her the chance to interrogate those people. She was confident that Manuel was probably thinking about how to get rid of the turncoat.“So that security guard is the mole?”“He lost a lot of money in the casino the day before and owed the casino several thousand dollars. He couldn't afford to pay it back, so the people from The Serpents found him and gave him a sum of money to pay off the debt. In exchange, they wanted him to move the body into the Southern Chamber of Commerce and delete the footage in the surveillance room early in the morning.”Waylon chuckled. “This obviously is a trap.”Mahina nodded too. “You’re right, Mr. Goldmann. It’s indeed a trap. Manuel was there at the casino as well that day. It seems like he has been targeting him from the beginning, so he took this chance to buy him off.”Cameron rose to her feet and waved her hand. “Get someone to clean up the place.
Daisie turned her head around and walked toward Sunny. “He’s gone out with Cameron since early in the morning. I wonder if the matter has been resolved.”Sunny sat on the rocking chair, picked up a palm fan, and fanned himself with it. “Don’t worry. There is nothing that Cam can’t solve. Not to mention that your brother is there with her. She’ll be fine.”Daisie dragged a tiny stool along and sat down beside him. “That’s not the mindset that you should have. Even if Cameron is very strong, you can’t always feel so at ease with her. After all, she’s still a lady, so no matter how capable she is, you still need to worry about her.”He was startled and stared at Daisie. However, he was at a loss for words for a while.He had been raising Cameron like a son all these years. Cameron had always lived up to his expectations and could handle many things independently, so he tended to sometimes forget that she was his daughter.From his perspective, there was nothing that she could not acc
Daisie blinked. “What do you want to bet on?”Sunny looked at her and explained, “We’ll bet on who out of the two of them will admit to taking a fancy to the other party first. I’m placing all my bets on your brother. He’ll be the one to admit his fall first. Whoever loses has to agree to one condition for the other party. How about this?”Daisie agreed to the bet without hesitation.…As evening approached, Cameron ordered a table of scrumptious dishes at Yuzu Villa and asked the waiter to open a bottle of Merlot. She also hired a pianist to play some music in the private room to add to the fun.Seeing that Waylon had not even taken a bite for quite some time, Cameron lifted her gaze. “You’ve been running around all day. Aren’t you hungry?”He stared at the wine in his glass. “I’m fine.”She poured herself a glass of wine too. “How should I put this? You’ve done me a big favor today, so allow me to buy you a meal.”He lifted his gaze casually and let off a faint smile. “I’ve b
Waylon noticed her unusual gaze and raised his gaze. “What’s wrong?”Cameron put down her silverware and asked bluntly, “What kind of benefits have you given to my father?”He narrowed his eyes. “Benefits?”“What else could it be? You’re an outsider, but he values you so much that he allows you to interfere in the Southern Clan’s affairs.”Waylon sneered immediately. “If that’s your concern, what about Nollace?”Cameron choked on her own words. “Can I even compare the two of you on the same level? The relationship that Nollace and my father have is, at best, profit-driven.”‘Even if I’ve taken his cheque, unilaterally, our relationship can only be considered as an alliance formed based on mutual benefits.‘Not to mention, my father doesn’t allow Nollace to interfere in the affairs of the Southern Clan. So how can I not wonder if Wayne has secretly bribed my father behind my back?’Waylon took a sip of soup calmly and slowly. “Are you saying that I’ve paid Mr. Southern Sr. only
Cameron was stunned for a split second and stared at Daisie. “Do you really think that he’s still alive?”“Isn’t it strange that his body hasn’t been found?” She lowered her gaze. “Joaqin is Florence’s father. It’s unusual for her not to even try to find out the cause of her father’s death and jump straight to the conclusion that her father is dead, isn’t it?”Cameron thought about her hypothesis for a moment and then chuckled. “What you just said does make sense too.”‘If Manuel is the one who killed Joaqin, there must be a way for him to dispel Florence’s suspicion. However, Manuel would certainly make another move if she were to find out something about the incident.’She got up. “Alright, you should go to bed early. I’ll bring you out tomorrow.”Daisie was startled, then laughed out loud. “I don’t think I’ll be of great help when I go out with you. Why don’t I ask Waylon to accompany you?”Seeing Cameron’s suspicious gaze, Daisie explained hurriedly, “What I mean is that the
Cameron frowned subconsciously.‘Is Manuel not planning to tie up the loose end? Or is he planning something else?’At that moment, Waylon received a text message from Saydie, and his expression became slightly serious. “Crap! Manuel’s target is Daisie!”Cameron was startled. “What!?”She immediately told her subordinate, “Send someone to The Commune now!”…Daisie grabbed a cab to The Commune. Her original purpose was to create an opportunity where Waylon and Cameron could be left alone. Her presence was absolutely insignificant. Given Waylon’s capability, he would definitely be able to help Cameron solve the problem, so Daisie’s presence would only make her the third wheel.She looked out the window, noticed something, and frowned. “Sir, the route that you’re taking doesn’t seem right, does it?”The driver did not answer her and abruptly pulled the car over on the side of the road and unlocked the door.Daisie quickly pushed the door open and got out of the car. At this time
“Waylon told me.”“Waylon?” Daisie looked up at him in surprise. “Isn’t he at the Chamber of Commerce with Cameron?”Nollace looked at her while touching her pale face because that must have scared her. “Yes, but he got intel that Manuel was targeting you, so he informed me.”She would have probably been hurt if he had arrived a little later. Daisie put her hand on his hand and pressed her face into his rough hand. “I could have avoided it.”Nollace chuckled. “But I lost my mind when I saw that you were in danger.”She whispered, “Weren’t you afraid that you would be stabbed?”He kissed her forehead, and a tear fell while he smirked. “Didn’t you save me? You’re getting stronger too.”Daisie pushed him away. “Don’t praise me.”Jake opened the door and saw them, then looked away. “Mr. Beck, I’m taking these people away.” Nollace nodded. Meanwhile, Waylon drove over to The Commune to meet Nollace.Cameron sat on the passenger’s side, resting her head on her hand while looki
They kept chasing them, and it was obvious they were after blood. Deep in the woods, the trees grew close to one another. The echo of gunshots startled the birds, which flew in all directions. Cameron and Waylon hid behind a tree that was big enough to cover the both of them. She looked past the branches and saw that a few men were still looking around, but there was nowhere to go in front of them because it was an island, and the edge was a cliff. Waylon waved at her. “Give me the gun. I’ll distract them.”Cameron looked at him. “Are you trying to leave me behind?”Waylon smiled. “You could do that too.”Cameron handed the gun to him and took out a dagger from behind. “Be careful. It would be tough for me to answer to your family if you die here.”He took the gun and loaded it. Cameron gave all the remaining bullets to him. “There are twenty-four in total. It should be enough.”He looked at Cameron and didn’t say anything, then quickly ran out. The men saw him. “They’re o
