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
Cameron raised her brows. Come to think of it, Manuel had hired the killers from Skull Club to get rid of her, and the fact that he was able to hire them showed that Donald was involved in that somehow.Donald hid behind Manuel and used him as a pawn. The Southern Clan would have a conflict with The Serpents, and no matter who won in the end, Fabio would benefit from it. However, Donald would be the ultimate winner. Once The Serpents were under Manuel, and the latter managed to take down the Southern Clan, Donald would be able to get power through Manuel from Fabio. He then would be able to win over Fabio’s men through the power that Fabio gave to Manuel.All he had to do was hide in the background, do nothing, and let Manuel do all the hard work to get the power. Manuel would seem like he was loyal to Fabio, but his actual master would be Donald. That was a brilliant move on Donald’s part. Cameron touched her chin and squinted. “Why are you telling me all this?”Waylon looked
Daisie mumbled, “Mr. Southern Sr. likes you.”Waylon was stunned. “What?”Realizing that Waylon might have misunderstood her, she hastily added, “He likes you as his son-in-law.”The atmosphere froze.Daisie lowered her head. Even though she felt sorry for Sunny, she had no choice but to sell him out since she was even more afraid of her eldest brother.Waylon did not say anything for a long while, and she felt uneasy. After all, she had never asked Waylon and Cameron about each other. When she first saw that Sunny had the intention of matching Waylon and Cameron, she figured that she should help. She liked Cameron. She was pretty and smart. Not only that, but she was also brave and good at fighting. Besides, she was not inferior to her eldest brother.However, it now seemed to Daisie that Sunny’s dream was going to shatter. Waylon and Cameron did not seem to like each other at all.Daisie lifted her eyelids slowly. She was worried that Waylon might get angry, but apparently
