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
The people in The Serpents were filled with fear when they heard about Mateo's death. Even though they were no longer in Fabio's territory, they did not know about Joaqin's whereabouts, and there was no one to lead them now. Soon, Fabio sent someone over and took some of them back while the rest of them went into hiding. There were not many people left in The Serpents, and they were on the verge of disbanding.Meanwhile, in the hospital…Mateo’s men had all gathered in Joaqin’s ward. When Joaqin heard of Mateo’s death, he was filled with grief and hated himself for being powerless.Cameron and her men appeared in front of the ward, and the crowd in the ward all turned their heads to look at her.She stopped in front of Joaqin’s bed and said, “My father said he’ll give you an explanation regarding Mateo’s death.”Joaqin did not say anything, but the people in the ward were agitated. “Explanation? What kind of explanation? Mr. Southern Sr. said that he’d help us, but what happened
Mahina shook her head as she did not know anything either.The two walked out of the hospital and came to the front of the car. Cameron had just opened the door and got into the car when she saw another person in the rear seat and was startled. “Why are you here?”Waylon leaned against the car window with his hand propped against the side of his forehead and turned to look at her. “Donald is at the casino investigating the identity of the woman who revealed Andrei’s identity.”Cameron closed the car door, raised her eyebrows, and looked at him. “Are you worried about me?”He looked away and did not utter a single word.Mahina took a peek in the rearview mirror as she drove them away from the scene. ‘The young master and the eldest son of the Goldmanns really make a great couple.’She suddenly thought of why such gossip about the two of them would spread around. Anyone who saw the two of them together would most probably think so too.Cameron noticed her fixed gaze and patted
Donald turned around, walked behind the desk, sat down in the director's chair, and tapped his fingers against the table. “What about Neal Beck? Haven’t we sent someone to keep an eye on him?”“About this...” Chunky lowered his head. “That person hasn’t come back yet, and I’ve failed to get into contact with him.”All the items on the desk were instantly swept to the ground—the most direct eruption of emotions occurred without warning.Chunky did not dare to say a word. He did not even dare to breathe.His expression looked gloomy and sulky. “That useless piece of sh*t! It seems he’s been discovered.”“Even if he’s been discovered, no one will ever suspect you.”“Oh, really?” Donald glared at him. “Manuel has been exposed, and the Southern Clan knows that he and I are connected because of the account book, and it’s just a matter of time for them to start to suspect me.”Chunky was at a loss for words.Donald rubbed the bridge of his nose and leaned back into the chair. “That wo
