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
Donald took a sip from the wine and continued in a calm manner. “He told me that the woman looks very much alike to someone from Mr. Puzo’s side.”Buchanon was shocked. “You’re talking about Ms. Leroy?”Out of the women around Fabio, only Gail was capable of fighting. However, he remembered something and quickly shot down that notion. “It shouldn’t be her. Huntley introduced her. Huntley doesn’t have any connection with the Southern Clan, so there’s no way Ms. Leroy is working for the Southern Clan.”Donald lowered his head and gazed into the wine glass. “Other than Huntley, no one has ever seen Ms. Leroy before. What if she isn’t the real Ms. Leroy?”Buchanon fell silent. Using the light in the private room, Donald looked at him. “Why don’t you send someone to keep an eye on her, Mr. Gibson? Of course, I hope she isn’t the one we’re looking for as well, but if she’s suspicious, Mr. Puzo might owe you a favor then.”Their conversation ended around 10:00 p.m. Buchanon came out of
Waylon did not say anything in return. It was about eight after they finished their breakfast, and Waylon went into Sunny’s study room to talk to him about something.Sunny was writing something in front of his desk. He said, “Nollace has found something. Donald has been dealing with Buchanon in private as well.”Standing by the window, Waylon said, “According to Saydie, Buchanon has been working for Fabio for ten years. He has been taking charge of the Parkin Chamber of Commerce, and he is Fabio’s most valuable assistant.”He nodded. “Buchanon is a slick person. He knows when to retreat, and he's afraid of death. Although Fabio doesn't trust him very much, he’s fine with him taking care of his stuff.”“I guess Buchanon must be alerted by that batch of counterfeit liquor. He’s worried that Fabio might really kill him one day.” Waylon turned around to look at Sunny. “That’s why he approached Donald in the hope of looking for a new way out.”Sunny put down his pen and raised his h
Gail lowered her head. “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Puzo.”Fabio patted her shoulder and turned around to look at Buchanon. It was only then Buchanon came around to his senses and said, “Ms. Leroy, you indeed are one hell of a killer.”Not only had she chopped his head off, but she even brought the head back. It was not something that anyone could do.Fabio retracted his hand and sat on the couch. “How about the mole? Did you discover anything?”Buchanon had been startled by the head, so it was only now that he came around to his senses. When he heard Fabio’s question, cold beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead as he remembered what Donald had told him.He looked at Gail and forced a smile on his face. “I’ve checked everyone in the Parkin Chamber of Commerce. There’s nothing wrong with them, but…”“But what?” Fabio placed the cup of tea near his lips.Buchanon told him about the fight Manuel had with Sunny in front of the hospital that day. He lifted his head and
