What was the relationship between this guy and Laura?
Could he be... Laura's lover?
People speculated.
Impossible! They quickly dismissed this absurd idea.
Laura wasn’t someone who would have an affair with an unknown guy. Besides, she is known for being cold and
unfeeling.
But if that’s not the reason, why would Laura favor him so much?

They were all looking forward to receiving a generous gift from the Jones family.
This event was worth it!
One by one, the crowd began to leave.
Before long, only Cameron, Dakota, and Lena remained.
Laura didn’t leave either.
This was her last meeting with Cameron, and she had swords she wanted to say to Cameron alone.

“Cameron, just ask whatever you want,” Laura said, trying to control her emotions.
“Ms. Jones, um... | heard from the nurse that day that after you broughtto the hospital, you didn’t leave
immediately. Instead... you went downstairs alone. Do you... have any reasons for that?” Cameron finally
managed to ask, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
“You knew about that?” Laura's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected others to witness that
moment.
“Yes.” Cameron nodded, his gaze incredibly earnest. “So, could you tellthe reason?”

life.
As the commotion settled, Laura also recognized the assailant’s face.
It was Phoenix, the vice commander of the Jones family’s guards.
Immediately, a deep sense of anger tinted her tone. “Phoenix, who sent you?”
“It was me, Laura.”
A cold, arrogant voice rang out.
