Chapter 168
“What news?” Cameron was taken aback by the surprise in Dakota’s voice.
“It’s about Ms. Jones!” Dakota yelled.
“About Laura?” Cameron sat up in bed immediately, “Was she in danger again?”
“No, it’s that five days from now, Ms. Jones will be holding a grand celebration in Yrando. She’s even booked the entire waterfront and Sunshine International Vacation Hotel!” Dakota shared excitedly.
“The news has already spread throughout Yrando. Most of the elites have received invitations from Ms. Jones, and I’m lucky to have gotten one, too!” Dakota said gleefully.
“Is that so? That’s great.” Cameron responded, feeling somewhat guilty,
Dakota didn’t pick up on it. She was completely immersed in her excitement and continued, ” Cameron, why do you think Ms. Jones is holding such a grand celebration in Yrando?”
“Uh… I’m not sure…” Cameron hesitated.
“Cameron, you sound a bit off. Are you okay?” Dakota’s brow furrowed.
She sensed something unusual in Cameron’s tone.
“No… It’s just that maybe I’m too tired from running errands today,” Cameron quickly came up with
an excuse.
“Oh? I’m sorry for bothering you, then. You should get some rest. I’ll talk to you tomorrow,” Dakota said apologetically.
“Wait… Dakota, don’t hang up yet,” Cameron interjected.
“Hm?”
“It’s nothing… I just felt bad for not talking to you more since you called,” Cameron explained.
“It’s okay. Everyone gets tired. You should rest early. I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight!” Dakota reassured him.
“Goodnight.”
Cameron let out a deep sigh after hanging up. He wanted to tell Dakota the truth about knowing Laura and that the celebration was for him.
However, he worried that Dakota might be upset if she realized that he had been deceiving her all this time. So, he decided to let it be for now. With five days left until the celebration, he planned to use this time to figure out how to explain the situation to Dakota.
At the same time, the news of Laura’s celebration at the waterfront was spreading like wildfire
through Yrando’s upper echelons. According to the information they received, Laura would also be appointing a young representative for herself in Vrando during the celebration. The entire elite circle was abuzz, speculating who the chosen individual might be
Archie and Madison were also aware of this news and had received invitations to the celebration
They thought about the surprise Laura had mentioned. They wondered what it could be…
The two exchanged glances. They were clearly on the same page. “Dear, we’re going to make it big this time!” Madison trembled with excitement.
She was convinced that the surprise Laura mentioned had to be choosing either her or Archie as her representative in Yrando.
“Yes!”
Even Archie, who was worldly and experienced, couldn’t help but shiver with anticipation.
