Fabio’s expression looked terrifyingly gloomy. “If someone hadn’t secretly informed Manuel about my plan, would he have run away? Now that both of them have died, The Serpents have no leader at the moment. And let’s not forget that Joaqin is still alive. The Southern Clan has truly gotten away with this as the biggest winner.”‘If Manuel was the only one who died in the accident, at least we could still take advantage of Florence’s ignorance.‘As long as Florence was still under my control, Mateo would never have the guts to go against her.‘However, now that both of them are dead, it’s only logical for Mateo to persuade everyone in The Serpents to go back to the Southern Clan. And without someone to exert control, it will be even more difficult for me to deal with the Southern Clan.’Buchanon looked at him. “Is there really something wrong with the men working under us?”‘Otherwise, how could the Southern Clan be ahead of everything?’After a short moment of silence, Fabio stare
Cameron was embarrassed and turned her face away. “I’m a woman. What’s wrong with me putting on some women’s clothes when no one’s around?”Daisie chuckled. “Then you should put them on. I’ll wait for you outside.”She walked out of the dressing room, not forgetting to stick her head back into the room to take a peek. “I’m looking forward to seeing you in women’s clothes.”Cameron closed the door. “Get out.”Fifteen minutes later, Cameron changed her clothes and walked out of the dressing room.She was in a loose, long, light tortilla long-sleeved blouse with denim shorts. The hem of the blouse was long enough to cover the pants, exposing a pair of long, well-proportioned, slender legs, a pair of laced mid-tube socks and white sneakers, the overall appearance looked extremely casual and young.Daisie came up to her and took a closer look at her. “I thought you would only know how to match your men’s clothes.”Cameron pulled her long hair backward. “How do I look?”Daisie lifted
Mateo was surprised. “Is Ms. Gail Leroy your spy?”Gail was an assassin who had been hiding among Huntley’s men. All the Orean underground forces knew her as the Black Widow. The woman was known to be extremely cruel. Rumor had it that she was originally a prisoner on death row, waiting to be executed. Huntley was the person who had hired someone in the system to replace Gail with another female prisoner during the execution and got her released secretly.Huntley had always looked very clean and pure on the surface, and he was able to connect with many politicians only because Gail was the one who got her hands dirty on his behalf.Waylon lifted his gaze and smirked. “I only got someone to take over Gail’s identity.”Mateo was surprised. “What about the real Ms. Leroy?”Waylon squinted as he stared at the tea in the cup. “Let’s just put it this way. She might not be able to make it here today.”Mateo inhaled sharply.‘Just who is this foreigner? He managed to get someone to repl
Daisie chewed the straw. “He doesn’t lack the money. Besides, Waylon has always had a good temper, so he won’t care about the money.”Cameron stared at the street where passersby came and went. “I haven’t been so relaxed for a long time.”She looked at Cameron and knew that when Cameron was pretending to be the young master of the Southern Clan, she could not be as relaxed and free as she was now. After all, everyone was staring at her as the heir of the Southern Clan. “It’s worth taking a day off and just being your true self.”“But I haven’t done what I want to do yet.”Daisie wondered. “What’s that?”Cameron responded seriously, “Pay the casino a visit.”Cameron brought Daisie to Palermo. The casino was the largest entertainment spot that the East Islands had to offer and belonged to the city council. Thus, people from the Southern Clan and Fabio’s territory would also be there apart from foreign gamblers.Cameron was about to step into the lobby when Daisie held her back anx
He chased the people playing with Cameron away and sat across from her. Daisie nervously looked toward Cameron, who gave her a look to calm her down. She was confident. The dealer dealt the cards. Cameron took her card and looked at it. The blond man smiled and sounded confident. “Let’s show your cards, sugar.”Cameron placed down her cards, and it totaled up to seven.The blond man smirked and opened up his. It was a flush. Cameron looked at her cards and squinted. The man chuckled. “I’m sorry, sugar. Luck is on my side today.”The man had the best cards, straights or flushes, for the next three rounds. It was crushing Cameron.Daisie thought that something was off. No matter how lucky one was, it wasn’t possible to get such good hands. The blond man got up, walked toward Cameron, placed his hands on the table, and looked down at her. “Sugar, you lost. You need to spend some time with me tonight.”He put out his hand to touch Cameron’s face, but before he could, Cameron
Andrei looked anxious. “No, you can’t—”“You’ve cheated and stolen a lot of money. The debtors will eventually get it back from you. By the way…” Cameron looked gleeful and was even more arrogant than he was. “I have Donald supporting me. Even Fabio has to bow down to him.”Waylon squinted because he knew what she was doing. Those men had lost money because Andrei cheated and were annoyed that they didn’t get to do anything to him. Now that this woman called him out, they all rushed forward and started beating him up. Even his men weren’t able to intervene.Daisie walked next to Cameron. “I was so worried just now. I thought you really lost.”Cameron clapped her hands. “I’m not here to gamble. I came to catch him.”She was annoyed that Manuel was dead and had been trying to get back at them. She knew that Andrei had been cheating at The Palermo, but everyone knew who he was, so she couldn’t intervene. Cameron had started paying attention to Andrei because he had paid the secur
Cameron had nothing to say to that. She touched her nose and cleared her throat. “Alright, I’ll pay more attention so that her husband doesn’t come after me.”She walked into the yard with Waylon. When she saw a helper walk past, she grabbed Waylon’s hand and hid behind him. Waylon was shocked as he looked down at her hand that was grabbing onto his.The helper smiled. “Welcome back, Mr. Goldmann.”He nodded courteously. The helper noticed the woman behind him. “This is?”He smiled. “She’s—”Cameron dug her nails into his arms, which made him take a sharp breath and look back at her. “Ms. Torres.”The butler just happened to walk in with Sunny at that moment. When Sunny saw the woman behind Waylon, he thought that another woman had gotten to his future son-in-law.He frowned. “Willy, who’s this lady?”The butler recognized Cameron from her outfit, but since the helper was there, he didn’t speak up. Waylon smiled. “Can’t you tell?”Sunny was stunned, but he walked forwa
The few men suddenly understood, and someone teased. “I thought you said he was dressed up as a woman.”“I’m pretty sure he would look beautiful as a woman. He has a feminine face.”“Right, Mr. Goldmann?”Waylon had a ‘scandal’ with Cameron, so they asked what he thought.Waylon looked at Cameron’s face and stopped there, then smiled. “He does.”The few men laughed.Waylon looked back at them. “Do you think you’d be able to accept it if he really was a woman?”Cameron froze. What was he thinking?They were shocked for a few moments. “I think it would be pretty scary if he were a woman.”Another man rebuked him. “How would it be scary? Wouldn’t it be nicer? I’d want a gentle lady more. How long would you be able to handle his torture?”Probably recalling how Cameron had beaten them up during training, that man suddenly understood. “Right. We would have easier training sessions if Mr. Southern Sr. had a daughter.”Cameron took a deep breath. She would have kicked their butts i
