The scene in the lounge had Cade narrowing his eyes."Cameron."Blaire was likewise shocked by the sight before her. She could feel her knees going weak, and she nearly collapsed to the floor."Cammie."Cameron had a shattered wine bottle in one hand and a remote control in the other. There was blood splattered all over her face. Her appearance and presence made her the most eye-catching person in the room.No one paid attention to Nerissa who was writhing in pain on the floor.Cade leveled Cameron a cold, condescending stare. His brows were knitted into a frown. His expression all but said that trusting an animal was more favorable than trusting her."Put that bottle down."Cameron jerked her chin to signal for him to look at the television screen.Projected on the screen were photos of her and the man she was threatening with the wine bottle in bed together. Each one was scandalous enough to get them in serious trouble with the law if they were caught.Cade followed her gaz

Cameron was neither mocking him nor trying to anger him on purpose. Her words simply reflected her thoughts. She had never considered Cade as someone she was close to, so why would she confide in him?Cade narrowed his eyes as he repeatedly mulled over her words in his head. Every word grated on his nerves so much that he wanted to strangle her. A dark emotion flashed in his eyes."Get out."Cameron didn't move. A few seconds later, Cade smiled. He lifted his hand to check for the time on his wristwatch and spoke in an icy tone."I'm giving you five seconds to get out of my car. Otherwise, I guarantee that your shabby little shop will close its doors tomorrow. Not even the gods will be able to save it."Cameron wasn't fazed by his threats at all. She stared at him and asked imploringly, "Are you sure?""Get out." There were no inflections in his voice.She nodded and got out of the car without hesitation, which only made his expression more icy. It was as if someone owed him bil

Now that Cameron knew who Asher was, her disdain for him became visibly apparent. "So, what is it that you want from me?"Asher touched his nose and smiled helplessly. "Would you believe me if I said that it was all just a coincidence?"Cameron couldn't be bothered to play along and proceeded to poke holes in his lies."You weren't sent to the countryside because of your poor health. Your parents sent you abroad to live with your aunt to better raise you."Asher was taken aback. "I'm sorry…" He didn't attempt to justify his lies. After all, it was indeed he who started on false narratives.Cameron got to her feet. There was no way she could stay now that she had lost her appetite."If you truly feel sorry, please never show up in front of me ever again. Stay at least three feet away if we ever run into each other. Aside from Melissa, I despise every member of the Laurier family."It was Cameron who ordered all the food a moment ago. So, she flagged down the waiter and said, "P

Fabian felt as though he had been the victim of an extreme injustice. Who would want to continue slaving around after clocking out? If Cade hadn't told him to stay, he would've left a long time ago."I'll leave right away then."Cade gave Cameron a sidelong glance before frowning and saying, "You drive."Considering how she had just experienced a fit of insanity, allowing her to drive might result in both of them being dead.Cameron wanted nothing more than to be left alone. Her turbulent emotions had yet to settle. There was a vacant look on her face as she walked passed Cade and headed for the parking lot. He stopped her. "Get in the car.""No thanks. I drove here."Cade's expression darkened. "With how distracted you are, allowing you to drive is no different from sending you out to commit murder."Cameron glared at him."What? Want to bite me again?"Despite the tense atmosphere, he grabbed her by the back of her neck and somewhat roughly shoved her into the car.Cameron was too e

Cameron emphasized every word. "Hypocritical, selfish, cold-blooded, two-faced, sycophantic…"She was a woman who exhibited a distant allure. Her captivating eyes always exuded a sense of aloofness. This was especially true when she talked down to others with an indifferent expression. It made her seem utterly devoid of humanity.Not only did Asher feel uncomfortable with Cameron rattling off a string of negative descriptors, but even Monica, who was eavesdropping while acting busy, felt her heart drop.It was all over. They would need to relocate. Monica frantically calculated the costs of a new store, including the cost of renovations and the transfer fee…Asher's expression had been tense from the moment Cameron began speaking. With how unsatisfied she seemed, he had a feeling she wasn't finished. She had simply run out of words."What did my parents do to make you so hostile toward them?"What about him? He and Cameron had never even met before. Was he hated because he was
