Cameron did not say anything and kept lowering her head.Waylon let out a meaningful smile and said, âYour inheritance isnât enough for me to buy diners. I donât have any intention of taking over your house or land. As for the pigs⌠Hmm, I can think about that.âCameron squinted and asked, âYouâre interested in pigs?âHe fixed his gaze on her and replied, âKind of.âCameron felt something was not right, but she couldnât explain that feeling as she focused on Waylonâs 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. âI donât know about you people, but Iâve come across this kind of person where theyâre very smart at something, but when it comes to another thing, theyâre as dumb as a pig.âCameron stared at Sunny and said, âWhy do I have a feeling that youâre talking about me?âWaylon placed his finger in front of his lips. God knew
However, he was hit at the back of his head before he could make the call and fell unconscious. Standing behind him, Saydie picked up the phone from the floor, and it was only then she realized he wanted to call Donald.âŚThe sky was getting darker, but the East Islands were brightly lit like an illuminating pearl. Several cruises were moving slowly on the sea. They would arrive at the East Islandsâ Southern Port in another two days.It was bright in the cabin, and Quincy lowered the curtain. He turned around to look at the people behind him. âMake sure you stay low profile when you arrive at the island later. Donât get yourself exposed.âThe group of people said, âDonât worry, we will. Weâll tell the people we meet that weâre here to do business. Besides, weâll leave some of our guys on the ship as backup. This way, people wonât be suspicious of us.âQuincy nodded. âGet some rest early.âMeanwhile, at the Southern residenceâŚSleep wouldnât come to Cameron. She sat up frustrat
Cameron took her phone back and looked at the screen. âYou can just say it if you want my number. Thereâs no need to be so secretive.â âWhat if you rejected me? Wouldnât it make me look bad?â Waylon replied nonchalantly.Cameron looked at him and replied, âWhy should I reject you? Itâs just a phone numberâŚâSuddenly, something crossed her head before she could finish her sentence. She raised her eyebrows and chuckled. âAre you not worried that Iâll delete your number?â âThereâs nothing I can do if you want to delete my number,â replied Waylon. âBut about the chequeâŚâ Cameronâs expression changed, and she turned off her phone as if she was worried that she might accidentally delete his number.âDonât worry. I wonât delete it.â He narrowed his eyes. âIt seems to me that Iâm the one getting the short end of the stick in this deal.â Cameron put her phone back into her pocket and replied matter-of-factly, âWeâre all in the same boat. Thereâs no need to make such a clear differe
Cameron crossed her arms in front of her chest and turned her face sideways. âIâll buy you another shirt.âWaylon squinted and replied, âIâm sure you know that all of my clothes are bespoke suits, right, Ms. Southern?âCameron was stunned and looked at him in shock. âAre you saying that I need to go to Stoslo to look for the shop?ââDidnât you say you wanted to buy me a new one?â Waylon lifted his eyebrows. âSince youâre going to buy me new clothes, you have to show some sincerity, donât you think so?âShe took a deep breath, gnashed her teeth, and replied, âFine! I shouldnât have promised you anything!âCameron turned around and stormed back to her room. Waylon looked at her and asked, âAre you not going to buy me a new shirt anymore?ââI donât have money!â she replied without turning her head back.Even though Cameron acted shamelessly, Waylon did not get angry at her. After all, it was just a shirt, and he did not feel the need to make a big scene out of it. The next day...
Waylon did not defy her claim. âI've been awake from the moment you came in.âCameron was stumped. âSo, youâve been pretending to be asleep the whole time?âHe chuckled. âIf I didnât pretend to be asleep, how would I know what you were trying to do?â Cameron was so angry that the veins on the corner of her forehead bulged. She felt as if she had been toyed with by him. She took a deep breath, placed her hands on her waist, and said, âInitially, I wanted to buy you a new shirt, but since you toyed with me like that, I think I donât want to buy you any clothes anymore.âHe raised his eyebrows. âI didnât want you to buy me new clothes either. But since you want toâŚâ He got down from the bed and stood in front of her with his arms spread. âTake all the measurements you want.âCameron was stunned. She turned her head sideways and said, âI donât want to.âWaylon pulled her hand, and before she could come around to her senses, he had already placed her arms around his waist. She was
Donald turned to look at him. âIsnât there someone shadowing Fabio?âChunky lowered his head. âI donât know if Fabio has found out about our plan. All the people that weâve sent to keep an eye on him have all gone off the radar.âDonald closed his eyes, and his facial expression stiffened. âHeâs fallen so far and gotten so dumb that he plans to work with the Southern Clan.âHe then opened his eyes and looked at Chunky. âSince Fabio has chosen not to comply, then thereâs no need for us to keep him alive. Getting rid of him is the only way for me to completely take over his faction.âChunky responded, âThen Iâll get someone to make it happen now.ââŚCameron came to The Commune at noon, and the people in The Commune were stunned when they saw her in womenâs clothes. After all, it was their first time seeing Cameron in womenâs clothes.âMrâ Ms. Southern.âEveryone still had not gotten accustomed to this sudden change in her appellation.Cameron cleared her throat. âYou can call me
Fabio grunted. âF*ck!âThe men in black surrounded the car with guns. âFabio Puzo, your time is up.âSeeing that Fabio did not respond, one of them carefully went around the car and came to the rear of the car, where Fabio rushed out from behind abruptly. The man was caught off guard, reacted almost instantly, and a thunderous gunshot pierced through the sky, but the bullet missed.The man in black had his gun snatched, lost his balance as Fabio kicked him violently, and fell to the ground.When the other men saw this, they immediately fired at Fabio.Fabio retreated to the rear of the car to avoid the bullets. The shattered glass cut his arm, and blood spurted through torn flesh. And that was when a man in black suddenly rolled over the car's roof and knocked Fabio down.Just as he was about to shoot Fabio, someone shouted, âSh*t! Someoneâs here!âThe man lost focus for a split second and was kicked over by Fabio. The latter picked up the gun and shot him in the head, and blood
Fabio fell into a trance and did not utter a single word for a long time.âŚAt 7:00 p.m., Cameron came back from outside.Sunny sat in the living room drinking tea, raised his gaze, and looked at the person who stepped into the house. âWhere did you go all day long?âShe stopped in front of the stairs and replied, âI went to The Commune.âSunny squinted and glanced at her. âThen why did you go into Willyâs room this morning?ââHow do you know that?ââWayne doesnât seem to be a loquacious person. One of the servants has most probably seen me.âSunny chuckled. âYou, a full-grown lady, actually went into a manâs room. Tell me the truth, are you plotting against him?ââDonât you slander me, I didnât do so.ââThen what did you do in the room?ââI was measuring his size.âSunny lost his firm grip on the teacup for a split second, and the lid fell onto the table.After a while, he asked in astonishment. âWhat... exactly what did you measure in there?âCameron knew her father had
âDaisie.â Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. âYou look so pretty today.ââThank you,â Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. âI propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.âDaisie clinked glasses with her. âSame goes for you and Morrison.âAfter 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. âYou were great earlier today.âShe giggled. âReally?âNolan added, âYouâll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.âDaisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. âDad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisieâs hand.ââConsider yourself lucky.â Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. âYouâd better treat my daughter well from now on.âNollace glanced at Daisie. âDonât worry. Sheâll forever be my one and only.âMaisie 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 carriageâthe 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. Patrickâs 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 Daisieâs hand and smiled suddenly. âYou have sweaty palms.âDaisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, âIâm nervous.âHe lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. âIâm here, so donât be nervous. Just take it easy.âDaisieâs gaze landed on his wedding jacket. âYou look nice in this uniform.âNollace chuckled. âAnd my bride looks stunning too.âArriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
âBy the way, whereâs Cameron?â asked Morrison.Waylon replied, âSheâs accompanying her father on a stroll. Iâm going to go meet them already, so Iâll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.âAfter saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. âHeâs changed now that he has a wife.ââYouâre speaking as if you havenât changed.â Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. âHey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.âMaisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. âMrs. Goldmann.âMaisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. âHave you finished catching up?ââOf course. Didnât you want to go to the Hathawaysâ villa with Dad in the afternoon?âNolan smiled. âI was waiting for you. Weâre just going over to have a meal together.âQuincy walked up to Saydieâs side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. âThen Iâll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my momâs jewelry company and design.âNollace hugged her from behind. âYou can do anything as long as you like it.ââŚThe 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, âGodfather!âStrix 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, âNolly, Iâm really looking forward to our wedding.ââReally?â Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. âIâm looking forward to it too.ââI 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.âHe laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. âYou know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.âDaisie turned her head around. âWhat are your wishes?ââMarry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.âShe was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
âYeah, itâs true,â replied Zephir.âIt seems like youâve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.â Naomi patted his shoulder. âI wish you all the best in your future endeavors.â He smiled at her but did not say anything.âŚSoon, 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. âMommy! Daddy!âShe hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. âYouâre an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.âShe smiled back at them and said, âBut I know Iâll always be your kid in your eyes.âMaisie chuckled and looked at the other people. âIt seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.âFreyja 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. âWhat a coincidence.ââMorrison and I were here earlier than you guys,â said Leah. âWe only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.âDaisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, âThen you should stay a few more days with us.âAfter Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. âSheâs my sister-in-law, Freyja, and sheâs my sister. Her name is Daisie.ââIâve seen them before at your wedding,â said Morrison. âYour sister is my wifeâs classmate. She has told me before.ââSince when did I become your wife? Thereâs a chance I may not marry you in the future,â said Leah.âWeâre already engaged. If you donât want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?â Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, âEngaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?â Leah cleared her throat and replied, âWell, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, â$10 for three chances.ââ$10 for three chances only? Thatâs expensive,â commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, âIâm the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.â Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, âLet'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.âAfter that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, âPlease give us six hoops.âThe 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, âLeave it to me.âShe 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. âWhatâs the matter? You canât sleep?ââYeahâŚâ She buried her head in his chest and said, âI want to go to take a leak, but Iâm a little bit scared.âNollace kissed her forehead and said, âIâll go with you then.âBoth 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, âYou wait for me here.âNollace nodded. âJust shout my name if you need anything.âShe 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 Nollaceâs arm. âAlright, letâs go
