Chapter 26
“That brat!”
Archie clenched his fist. His eyes were icy cold.
“I didn’t expect Dakota to be so despicable, being with someone like
Cameron!”
Madison cursed Dakota through gritted teeth, “I didn’t know Dakota was such a person either. A person’s true nature is indeed hard to
discern.”
“But, I think the most likely possibility is that your friend is taking advantage of Cameron,” Archie said in a deep voice.
“Dakota’s taking advantage of Cameron?” Madison said, startled.
“That’s right,” Archie said.
“Aside from the fact that there’s no comparability between the Jennings family and the Price family, as far as I know, the Jen family has become insolvent recently. It’s impossible to coope with such a debt-ridden family.
“This time, Dakota must have made this choice because Camero
had asked Lord Blackheart for a favor.”
Lord Blackheart was the chairman of Darth Holdings. With just a word from him, the project would proceed.
“So, that’s it!” Madison finally understood. No wonder Dakota and Cameron had gotten so close! It turned out that Dakota was just
using Cameron!
“What a cunning woman!” Madison said, looking displeased.
Then, she turned to Archie.
“I’m sorry, dear. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have invited Dakota to be my bridesmaid. None of this would have happened otherwise, and your project wouldn’t have been given to someone else.”
“Dear, this isn’t your fault. You don’t have to feel bad about it.” Seeing
Madison sinking into self-blame, Archie comforted her.
However, deep in his eyes, a sinister glint flickered.
He sighed, pretending to be embarrassed, and then said, “Indeed, this project is something my father has emphasized over and over again. If I mess up this time, I’m afraid that when he returns, he’ll think that. I’ve neglected my duties and that I’m distracted by my love life. So, he
might interfere with our relationship.
“My dear, what should we do then? Is there any other way to salvage
the situation?”
