All morning, Cameron stayed in the martial arts center for training. She had been unable to stretch her body and put her skills to the test for a long time, so she grabbed almost everyone into the arena. They then started a deathmatch, with Cameron going against everyone else alone.After several rounds, the members of the Southern Clan all lost.Someone rubbed his sore arm as he staggered out of the ring. “Has the young master been in a bad mood these past two days? Look at how he fights. He was so ruthless. I thought I was going to die in there.”Another man patted him on the shoulder and smiled. “Alright, stop complaining. Let’s take it as an opportunity for us to improve ourselves.”Cameron stood in the ring with her arms akimbo and asked, “Is any one of you still capable of going for another round?”Some of the people standing under the arena waved their hands, and some shook their heads as all of them retreated from the ring one after another. She sighed and got out of the a
Andrei’s original intention was to use Cameron’s identity to threaten Sunny, but he did not expect such a reaction from Sunny.Andrei gnashed his teeth. “Aren’t you afraid that your men won’t accept her at all?”Sunny did not fall for the trap. “It’s not up to you to decide whether to accept Cam or not. Everyone else can see her capital and capability. As for the question of whether they will mind if the next leader of the clan is a man or a woman, do you guys mind that?”The bodyguards and members of the Southern Clan in the courtyard came back to their senses and said in unison. “We don’t mind that!”Why would being a man or a woman matter to them? The only thing they valued was strength, so even if Cameron was a woman, they had regarded her as their young master for so many years. She had also shown all of them that she had the potential and capability to uphold the title. Thus, why should she be restricted by her gender?“Y-You people...” Andrei was so infuriated that he was a
Waylon looked toward her and smiled. Meanwhile, at Southwest Villas…“What? Cameron is a woman?”Fabio was shocked to hear that too.Cameron was Sunny’s only son, and everyone on the island knew that. However, this ‘son’ turned out to be a daughter. The bodyguard who reported that looked at him. “Everyone in the Southern Clan has accepted it. Andrei tried to use this secret as leverage, but Mr. Southern Sr. couldn’t be bothered.”Fabio looked dark. “Andrei really turned into Donald’s dog. Donald doesn’t know Sunny well enough. It’s funny that he thought Sunny would compromise because of what he did.”He had been careless about Donald. If he had known better, he wouldn’t have let the wanted man stay on the island. Not only did Donald take advantage of him, but he also tried to take his place too.That was why the killers that Manuel had hired from the Skull Club would go to the Southern Clan’s territory to kill Cameron. It was because Donald had worked out something with the
Without Nollace, The Southern Clan might not be able to win this battle against Donald because even if they could sway Fabio, they wouldn’t be able to do that to Donald. Nollace understood him better than anyone else. Even if Fabio lost everything and Donald got the upper hand, Nollace would be able to attack while Donald was unprepared.A few days later, the Parkin warehouse was engulfed in flames. The previously glamorous Chamber of Commerce was only a pile of ash when the firefighters put out the fire. It was lucky that no one was hurt.When Fabio caught wind of it, he flew into a rage. “Why would fire randomly start there? Where’s Gail? Tell her to come to see me!”The others hung their heads low and didn’t speak. One of the men carefully answered, “Ms. Leroy is… Missing.”Fabio grabbed him by the collar. “What do you mean?”The man shook and said, “Ms. Leroy suddenly disappeared, and none of us can get a hold of her.”“Bad news!”A bodyguard rushed into the study, out of
Sunny and Waylon were playing a game of chess in the study when there was a knock on the door.Mahina walked in and stood next to them. “Sir, Parkin has been burned to the ground.”Sunny’s pawn dropped onto the board, and he smiled. “Ms. Quinn works quickly.”Waylon smiled. “Destroying Parkin would cut Puzo off from his money. He’s going to drown in debt, and on top of that, Donald is going to attack him. He’s not going to last long.”The butler stood at the doorway. “Sir.”Sunny turned over and saw someone standing behind the butler. It was Mateo. Mateo walked into the room and nodded. “Sir.”“Aren’t you…” Sunny was surprised and stood up. “You’re still alive?”Mateo smiled sadly and slowly said, “I thought I was going to die too. When Fabio sent Gail to kill me, I sliced open that person’s throat with a dagger. Everyone was hurt, and I was badly injured too.“I don’t know why, but Gail ended up helping me. She found somewhere for me to hide and told everyone that the man’s
“Are you interested in me?”Waylon’s sudden bluntness made Minzy blush and look down with a smile. “I felt a rush when I saw you. I guess that’s what love at first sight feels like.”Waylon nonchalantly looked around. “What do you like about me?”Minzy paused, then smiled. “Do I need a reason to?”“You don’t, but I don’t think I’m charming enough to make you fall for me at first sight.”“Are you not confident?” She looked shocked. He smiled. “If Cameron hadn't messed up the date intentionally, and if she were a man, would you date her?”Minzy couldn't answer that because if Cameron were a man and hadn’t messed up the date, she wouldn’t know if she would date her. And that was before she met Waylon.Minzy clearly said, “If I didn’t meet you, I might. Fate is such an interesting thing, right?”Waylon squinted. “You look like a good choice for a wife.”She looked happy. “Do you really think so?”He calmly continued. “But to me, we’re from two different worlds. You’re a well-re
Sunny, hiding behind the wall, smiled from ear to ear. Someone suddenly patted his back, so he jumped and turned around, only to see Cameron.Cameron crossed her arms. She was going to leave in her pajamas, so she wore a jacket to cover it and didn’t even bother to comb her hair. “What are you doing snooping around?”She looked over, but Sunny pulled her back. “Be careful, don’t let them see you.” After saying that, he couldn’t help but poke his head out. Cameron did the same and was surprised. “Isn’t that Wayne and Minzy? Are they dating?”Sunny took a deep breath to suppress his anger. “She’s confessing her feelings to him.”Cameron was shocked. “That’s quick.”Sunny smiled. “Do you feel like rushing over?”She didn’t even think about it. “I’m not crazy. Why would I interrupt them?”“Are you not angry?”“Why should I be angry?”Sunny couldn’t suppress his anger anymore. He took two steps back and kicked her while she wasn’t paying attention. She flew forward and almost ran
Cameron did not say anything and kept lowering her head.Waylon let out a meaningful smile and said, “Your inheritance isn’t enough for me to buy diners. I don’t have any intention of taking over your house or land. As for the pigs… Hmm, I can think about that.”Cameron squinted and asked, “You’re interested in pigs?”He fixed his gaze on her and replied, “Kind of.”Cameron felt something was not right, but she couldn’t explain that feeling as she focused on Waylon’s gaze. She kept staring at him until a cough rang out in the air. She hastily withdrew her gaze and turned around to look at Sunny, who was walking toward them.Sunny let out a sigh and shook his head. “I don’t know about you people, but I’ve come across this kind of person where they’re very smart at something, but when it comes to another thing, they’re as dumb as a pig.”Cameron stared at Sunny and said, “Why do I have a feeling that you’re talking about me?”Waylon placed his finger in front of his lips. God knew
“Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
“By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
“Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
