“You’ve always been very vigilant, but when all hell breaks loose, it’s only natural for you not to notice the change in the number of people. Would you care when your gun was replaced by another gun?”The appearance of the police had already ruined his plan. He would never find out that Jake had taken the opportunity to switch his gun out for another one because his attention was not on himself throughout the whole time.Donald laughed. “Nollace Knowles, you’re indeed extremely ruthless. You clearly knew that he was in the same car as us, but you still tried to knock us over to stop us. Weren’t you afraid that he would die too?”Nollace’s expression looked indifferent. “I didn’t intend to kill you, but if I hadn’t done something to force you into stopping the car, he still wouldn’t make it out alive once your men found out that something smelled fishy with him.”Jake would only be safe when chaos and danger hit.If Jake had not improvised and driven the car directly toward the po
Even though Jake had been lurking right next to him as a mole, even if he had managed to send Donald to the dock, who could guarantee that Donald, being the vigilant man that he had always been, would keep him alive?Thus, only a sudden change in plan would divert his attention at that time and in that situation. Donald hated Nollace with all his heart, so how could he resist the urge to kill him when he was standing right in front of him?Nollace took a hot bath, put on a set of clean clothes, and walked out of the bathroom. He then dried his hair with a towel and turned to see Daisie placing a mug of ginger and lemon tea on the table.He placed the towel on the table, walked toward her, reached out, and hugged her from behind.Daisie turned to look at him. “What’s wrong?”Nollace buried his face in her shoulder and neck, sniffed the shampoo scent in her hair, and smiled. “I’m just happy.”Daisie pushed him away with her elbows and picked up the mug. “Stop the sweet-talking and
Cameron got into the front passenger seat.While driving, Cameron leaned against the car window and propped her hand against the side of her forehead. “You haven’t answered my question.”Waylon held onto the steering wheel and pulled over to the side of the road. “It’s all over now.”She paused for a split second and turned to look at him. “So, has Donald been arrested?”He responded with a hum and backed the car into a parking space.Cameron lowered her gaze.‘Donald’s arrest means that everything’s over now, and it’s time for them to go back to Zlokova.’The front passenger’s door was opened at some point, and he was already standing outside the door. “It’s time to get yourself out of the car.”Cameron undid her seat belt and got out of the car with her can of Coke. But he immediately confiscated it from her before she could take another sip. “You should eat first.”“This is none of your business.”She reached for it, but Waylon threw the can into the trash can on the side
Cameron did not utter a single word.Waylon curled her hair with his finger, fiddled with them, and said casually, “After all, maybe we won’t see each other ever again in the future.”“All things come to an end.” Cameron turned to look at him. “That’s life.”He lifted his gaze and stared at her.His gaze seemed to be fixed on her, and it felt aggressive. Her cheeks warmed up just by being stared at, and she looked away. “It’s useless for you to look at me with those eyes...”She immediately added, “I won’t pay you back for this meal.”A hint of hilarity flashed across his eyes. “I don’t need you to pay me back.”She grabbed the water glass on the table. “I didn’t plan to pay for it either.”Waylon smiled and said nothing.After eating, Waylon took her back to the hospital and parked the car near a convenience store. After a few minutes, he returned to the car and handed her a can of Coke.Cameron wanted to grab it from him, but he retracted his hand abruptly.Cameron missed
Cameron’s expression froze. She felt extremely embarrassed as she stared at the cup of tea in her hand.‘Did I just use someone else’s cups and drink someone else’s tea?’Fortunately, no one was looking at her, so she restrained her expression, placed the teacup back on the table, pushed it back to Waylon, and said in a low voice, “Anyway, I’m not the one who’s suffered a loss from this.”He rubbed the mouth of the teacup, lowered his gaze, and smirked. “People who’ve taken advantage of somebody else always love to say that.”She replied casually, “Yes, you’re right about that.”Waylon then slowly poured some tea into the cup, picked it up, and placed the cup against his lips. Cameron was stunned for a split second and could not stay calm while that was happening.He drank the tea slowly, and his lips now covered the rim of the cup that still had her lipstick mark. The way he swallowed the tea and wiped the corners of his lips with his thumb was somehow very seductive to her at t
Maisie picked up the fruits and walked over. “What are you looking at?”Nolan looked up and put down his phone. “What happened at the East Islands has finally come to an end.”Maisie placed the plate down on the desk and smiled. “I guess the children are all safe now.” She picked up a slice of orange and handed it to him.Nolan closed his magazine, ate the orange slice, and then pulled her into his arms. “The orange is sweeter when you give it to me.”Maisie picked up a cherry. “If our sons were as good at sweet talking as you, I’d be a lot less worried.”Nolan smiled. “They’re going through a phase, and that’s normal. Colton and Daisie grew up around us and weren’t alone outside like Waylon, who’s more mature. Colton isn’t very good at expressing himself and is too straightforward. You know that.”Maisie rubbed her temples. “That’s why I’m worried.”She shouldn’t get too involved in her children’s relationships because they should be able to decide for themselves without too mu
Unexpectedly, there wasn't any pain. Cameron opened her eyes and realized that she was lying on top of Waylon. A sponge mat was under them, seemingly placed there in case things went wrong.Cameron slowly snapped back. “You…”Waylon suddenly flipped over, held her under him, and then looked down at her. “Fell off the ring. You lost.”She paused for a long moment. “You did that intentionally?”He smiled and didn’t speak. Cameron pushed him away and sat up. “You didn’t win either.”Waylon chuckled. “I didn’t say I had to win. I just bet that you would lose.”Cameron was rendered speechless because she felt like she had been tricked. She punched Waylon on the shoulder, which made him fall back onto the mat as if he was really hurt.Cameron realized she had used too much force, so she quickly checked on him. “Hey, are you alright?”He didn't speak.Cameron was worried, so she put out her hand to check his shoulder. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, which made
Sunny calmly said, “Now that everything has ended, I’ll be safe. You don’t need to worry. Mahina, the butler, and Damian will be here. I’ll be more carefree when you’re not around.”Daisie placed down her cutlery and got up. “Sir, Cameron, I’m done. I’m going to check on them.”She left the space for the father and daughter. After Daisie left, Sunny asked Cameron somberly. “What do you think about Willie?”She looked around. “What do you mean?”“Do you think I can’t tell? Something is going on between you two, and he has feelings for you.” He was very serious.Cameron was shocked. “That’s nonsense.”‘Wayne has feelings for me?’“Only you know whether that’s nonsense or not.” Sunny picked up the napkin and dabbed the corner of his lips. “Think about how you feel when you’re around him, then about how you feel when you hang out with the other members.”After that, Sunny picked up his cane and went upstairs. Cameron froze on the spot, her mind in a mess. Did Waylon really ha
