"Am I someone who can't distinguish right from wrong in your eyes?" Cameron sneered.
The sight of Cameron's self-deprecating smile made Laura feel a pang in her heart.
She knew Cameron misunderstood her words. But wasn't this the result she wanted?
She couldn't tell Cameron the truth. She was afraid that if she let slip, Cameron would disregard everything else.
Therefore, she could only treat him colder. "You should know how important this wedding is for me and my family. Besides, this is just Alan's provocation."
"I know it's a provocation, but so what?" Cameron replied.
He knew it was a conspiracy, but he had enough strength to crush the Xander family.
However, Laura didn't know about that.
"Why do you always have to act so tough?" Seeing him being stubborn, she couldn't help but clench her teeth in worry.
"Whether I'm acting tough or not shouldn't be your concern, Ms. Jones." Cameron looked coldly at Laura.
"Yeah, it doesn't concern me. I shouldn't have bothered to care about your life!" Laura retorted angrily.
"You can leave now, Ms. Jones. After all, we have nothing to do with each other anymore." Cameron frowned, feeling an unidentifiable surge of emotion within him.
His resolute words caused Laura's heart to tremble violently.
She could feel Cameron's emotions. Her pain was no less than his, but she had no choice.
"I'm sorry..."
Laura took a deep breath and continued, "I shouldn't have hidden my relationship with Alan from you before, but the development of my family relies on the Xander family, so I had no choice."
"Is that so?" Cameron looked at Laura and chuckled coldly. "But I can also give you what the Xander family can. You just never believed in me."
Laura also looked into Cameron's eyes, which were still as determined as before.
She knew that if Cameron made a promise, he would do everything in his power to fulfill it, even if it meant hurting himself. However, this was exactly what she didn't want to see.
