Chapter 2057
All humans were known to be selfish. If he were to force the other party into a corner, he would leave himself with
little room to maneuver. It would only backfire if he was too eager to see immediate success. Joaqin was not an
idiot, and this was not the time for him to act too obviously.
“Since you don‘t like Florence, I won‘t force you to accept the marriage arrangement.” Joaqin lifted his gaze.
“However, the Southerns should still provide me with an explanation on the incident where Neal Beck made a move
on my daughter, shouldn‘t you?” Cameron fiddled with the empty teacup on the table. “It‘s not difficult for us to
explain that, but Ms. Serrano is the one who created a stir at the hall, so shouldn‘t she be the one who apologizes
first?”
Joaqin was slightly displeased. “It‘s Florence‘s fault for making a scene at the hall, and she can apologize for that,
but isn‘t that too intentional for him to beat her up to that extent?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe asked him in return, “If someone were to cause trouble at The Serpents‘event, would you let that person leave
the scene unscathed?” Joaqin choked on his own words and could not utter a single word. Cameron stood up slowly.
“Why don‘t we each take a step back? I‘ll apologize to Ms. Serrano on Neal‘s behalf, and Ms. Serrano can come to
us to deliver her apology personally when she gets discharged from the hospital. What do you think?”
Joaqin agreed to the suggestion.
Cameron burned the photo on the spot until it completely turned to ashes. “Then I’ll also keep my word.”
She walked out of the Serrano residence, and the female bodyguard was waiting for her in front of the car. “Mr.
Southern, is everything resolved?”
She got into the car and said, “Joaqin is quite smart. You can consider the marriage arrangement dissolved.”
The female bodyguard looked back at her. “But Ms. Serrano has suffered quite a huge grievance, so she might not
be willing to compromise.”
Cameron looked out the window. “It doesn‘t matter. Joaqin has been a smart man for most of his life, but he‘s
destined to be ruined by his brainless daughter.” ‘There‘s no need for our Southern Clan to take action, and The
Serpents will also go down in flames someday in the future because of Florence.’
She retracted her gaze from the scenery outside of the car. “Get someone to pick a gift and bring it to the hospital
to brighten up her day.” The female bodyguard was a little confused. “Why would you send her a gift?” Cameron
smirked. “She‘s such an arrogant and presumptuous lady. If I send her a gift to express my apology at this time,
she‘ll think that we’ve chosen to compromise. When Joaqin asks her to apologize on the day she‘s discharged from
the hospital, do you think she‘ll do so willingly?”
The female bodyguard did not even have to guess to know that Florence would be unwilling to apologize. Florence
would accept the apology but would be unwilling to come to them to apologize, which would only make Joaqin‘s life
even more difficult. And when she thought of coming out here and causing others trouble again, Joaqin would not
dare to turn a blind eye ever again.
Within two days, Florence was discharged from the hospital. Because she had just received an official apology and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgift from the Southerns the day before yesterday, she thought the Southerns were willing to compromise. However,
as soon as she returned home, her father asked her to go to the Commune to apologize. Florence‘s expression
changed instantly. “Dad! Have you lost your mind!? They’ve already apologized for beating me up. So why would
you ask me to go to them to apologize?”
“That‘s enough.” Joaqin slammed the table angrily and reprimanded her, “Are you really dumb enough to think that
they‘ve compromised? They apologized to you only because they‘re showing The Serpents a teensy bit of respect.
“It‘s all because of you. You just go around the city brainlessly, causing trouble everywhere and embarrassing me.
Otherwise, do you think I‘d like to be led by the nose by the Southerns?” Florence disagreed with him. “No, I won‘t
go.” ‘Besides, as long as Manuel successfully hires someone to get rid of Cameron for good, what else will I be
afraid of?‘ “Come again?” “I won’t apologize to them! They‘re not going to get what they want! No way, over my
dead body,” Joaqin slapped her cheek with the back of his hand, and the slap sounded throughout the living room.
Even Manuel, who was waiting outside the door, almost could not help but rush in. Florence covered her cheek and
stared at her father in disbelief. “Did you just hit me?”
