Chapter 2041 Daisie cast her eyes low. “I know, I know. I‘ll stay out of trouble for all of your sake.” Suddenly, something took shape in her mind, prompting her to ask, “Aunt Saydie, did you catch any news about Nollace?” Saydie shook her head. “I doubt he‘s using his real name while active in the East Islands, especially since that‘s also where Donald is. Nollace is a cautious guy, so he must have taken up some kind of pseudonym.”
A pseudonym necessarily complicated their search. Daisie fell silent. She seemed to be mulling over something.
Far in the East Islands, the furor was brewing in the Commune. Joaqin Serrano grimaced as soon as he received the news. “What‘s the meaning of this? That old bag appointed some outsider to take over The Commune!?”
The Commune had always been The Serpents‘ turf. Sunny Southern had been painfully reluctant to cede control over the territory to The Serpents for so many years, and yet the same Sunny Southern decided to hand control over to a man who was not even a member of the Southern Clan!
Could it be that… Sunny had caught onto something? Florence Serrano suddenly burst into his study. “Dad!” Joaqin ordered his underlings to leave them be, though he did not hide the frown from his daughter either. “Can‘t you see I‘m busy?”
Florence was too wrapped up in her own resentment to care. “Goddamn Cameron‘s *ss is back!”
Joaqin furrowed his brows. He drank his wine without a word. He had long heard of Cameron‘s return. The same investigation also revealed that the outsider punk who was to take over The Commune was the fellow Cameron had brought home.
Cameron was several years younger than his daughter, but his status as the heir to the Southern family made him important. He was a bachelor and did not seem to be seeing anyone at the moment, and now, the fact that the family appointed an outsider to manage The Commune implied certain degrees of guardedness. He set his winecup down. “It occurs to me, Florence, that Cameron‘s at the age where he should settle down with a partner.”
Florence was visibly stunned. “What‘s that supposed to mean?”
