Cade looked up, and his gaze swept coldly over Fabian. "Is your salary paid by me or her? If you're so worried, why don't you quit and be her secretary instead?"Fabian was flummoxed. Why was Cade acting like he had eaten explosives for breakfast? Was it because Cameron would rather take a cab than get in his car?He blinked mischievously, eager for gossip, and asked, "Mr. Carter, are you sure you don't like Madam? I think Madam would be voted 'Most Beautiful Woman' every year if she was a celebrity."He was implying that Cade had no taste. If Fabian married such a beautiful woman, he would cater to her every whim. Even if he had to go without food and drink, he would gladly save his money and let her spend it. But, apparently, Cameron lived very frugally. Two weeks ago, if someone had told Fabian that the woman named Cameron who struggled with paying the rent on her shop was actually Cade's wife, he would never have believed them.Cade said, "The oleander growing at the side o

Cade could hear the wariness in Cameron's voice. He paused for a moment and smiled carelessly. "What do you think I'm going to do? Rape you?" Cameron said nothing. Cade's humorless smile disappeared, and there was a hint of contempt in his cold voice. "You are ridiculous." There was no emotion in his voice, but his disdain was painfully clear.Cameron was triggered by his haughty and scornful manner. Ever since she had moved into the Carter residence as their adopted daughter when she was 14, this was the look that she had seen in his eyes most frequently. Her expression darkened, and she said icily, "Get out of my sight."But Cade did not even move an inch. "Do you know why this place is called Carter Mansion? It belongs to the Carters, not the Yorksworths." Cameron corrected him. "The deed of this house has my name on it."It hadn't been called Carter Mansion in the past. It was only called that now because Cade lived here.Although she was not the Carters' ideal daughter

Nerissa reached out to take his arm, but Cade avoided her. As they kept walking, he asked, "How is Mr. Yorksworth now?""They're still treating him, but Dad has high blood pressure. The doctors warned us not to get him agitated…"Cade walked over to Blaire and comforted her for a while. He asked the doctors about Wilfred's condition. His calm demeanor seemed to reassure everyone, and the panic that they had felt seemed to diminish in his presence. Blaire finally calmed down enough to look at Cameron. She had been standing silently at a distance from them the moment they got to the hospital. She was acting as if none of this had anything to do with her. Blaire was deeply hurt by her callousness, and any remaining guilt that she felt toward Cameron disappeared. She said coldly, "You can leave."She hadn't mentioned any names, and Cameron's thoughts had been wandering. She didn't realize that Blaire was talking to her.Seeing that she didn't react, Blaire raised her voice shri

"Hah." Cade scoffed. "Don't you know basic safety precautions? Even a three-year-old knows better. It's late at night and you're a drunk woman. Yet, you're still thinking about getting into a stranger's car?"Cameron inclined her head. Her narrowed eyes were captivating as she gave him an inscrutable smile."A plain woman like me has nothing to worry about.""If a man is in the mood, it won't matter even if you're ugly. Some don't even care about the species. Being born beautiful might make it easier to attract men, but it doesn't mean they only go after beautiful women.""Many aren't picky. Don't go challenging a man's base nature with your stupidity," Cade said.Silence befell the car as Cade finished speaking. Only the soft whirrs of the engine and air conditioning filled the space.Cameron silently stared out the window. Her desolation and loneliness were magnified by the darkness of the night. She unconsciously pressed the power button on the phone in her hand. With every

Seeing Cameron returning to her car had Nerissa seething with anger. However, the thought of her plan made her grit her teeth and go after Cameron. It took Nerissa cajoling her with apologies for Cameron to return. The hall was filled with the lively sounds of clinking glasses. There were servers dressed in white shirts and black trousers carrying trays and weaving through the crowd of well-dressed men and women.Cameron's entrance caused a brief silence in the hall, but things quickly returned to normal."Mom's over there, Cameron. Let's go," Nerissa said.She dragged Cameron and quickly made her way towards Blaire. People would step aside to make way for them anywhere they passed through. Hushed murmurs could be heard in the air."What is she doing here?""What rotten luck. I wouldn't have come here if I had known she'd be coming. Can she keep away from us? Who knows if she has some kind of disease.""Stop it." Someone nudged the woman who was speaking with their elbow. "She'
