    Chapter 124


    As dusk settled in, Laura’s mood remained gloomy.


    Seeing her distress, Peggy asked, “Miss, are you still worried about n’s uing visit to Yrando?”


    “Yes,” Laura nodded slightly.


    “So, are you nning to return earlier then?” Peggy inquired.


    As Laura’s secretary, Peggy naturally wanted her to be happy. However, she was on n’s side. In her eyes, n was infinitely


    better than Cameron, who seemed ungrateful for Laura’s attention. She believed thatparing n to Cameron bordered on


    insulting n.


    “We''ll see. I''ll try to dy my return as much as possible,” Laura said.


    She wasn’t ready to go back to Leving just yet. This trip might be herst chance to see Cameron before her wedding to n in


    half a month. After that, she might never be able to leave Leving again.


    She had insisted on staying in Yrando despite Cameron’s annoyance with her. She wanted to ensure Cameron’s well-being for


    the remaining time, which would give her some peace of mind.


    Moreover, Laura knew she couldn''t let Cameron and n meet. She understood both their


    personalities, especially n’s. So, she feared n would be aggressive toward Cameron and that she wouldn''t be able to stop


    him. She couldn''t let such a confrontation happen.


    “Alright, Ms. Jones,” Peggy responded.


    She felt uneasy about Laura’s evident sorrow.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    “And Peggy, you musin’t tell n about my meeting with Cameron, understood?” Laura cautioned, prioritizing Cameron''s safety


    despite trusting Peggy’s discretion.


    “| understand. | won''t tell n,” Peggy assured her, aware of her duty as Laura’s secretary.


    “Okay. You can leave now, Peggy. | need some time alone,” Laura said while massaging her temples.


    She was visibly tired.


    “Rest well, miss. I''ll take my leave now.”


    Peggy quietly left the room.


    Once alone, Laura stood up and gazed at the bustling city lights from the hotel window. Yet, within her, a profound sense of


    destion and silence lingered.


    Sometimes, she envied ordinary girls who could freely pursue their love. As the Jones family’s heiress, she didn’t even have the


    right to love freely.


    Meanwhile, after leaving, Peggy decided to head to the convenience store downstairs for a drink as she found the hotel’s


    beverage selection unptable.

    She felt no need for a bodyguard once she reached the hotel''s ground floor, as the convenience store was just a short walk


    away.


    The automatic door swung open as she approached the store, greeting Peggy with a cheerful” Wee” from the speaker.


    She entered and saw a cashier in a ck cap engrossed in his phone. He seemed oblivious to her arrival. Peggy was unfazed


    as she was no stranger to employees cking off on the job,


    The click—ck of her ck high heels echoed as she made her way to the drinks section. Her eyes lit up at the sight of her


    favorite beverages neatly arranged on the shelves.


    As she happily picked out her drinks, the cashier, previously absorbed in his phone, suddenly looked up. His gaze fixed on


    Peggy''s appealing silhouette that was entuated by her ck suit. It outlined her curves exquisitely.


    Particrly drawn to her legs that were encased in ck stockings and exuding allure, he couldn''t resist licking his lips in lust. A


    scar marked his left eye beneath his cap, revealing a sinister visage. He stood up and began to approach Peggy with deliberate


    steps.
