Chapter 217


    What was the rtionship between this guy and Laura?


    Could he be... Laura''s lover?


    People spected.


    Impossible! They quickly dismissed this absurd idea.


    Laura wasn''t someone who would have an affair with an unknown guy. Besides, she is known for


    being cold and unfeeling.


    But if that''s not the reason, why would Laura favor him so much?


    Suspicion lingered in their minds.


    Laura''s cold voice echoed through the microphone. “The person chosen by my family is not to be


    insulted by outsiders. Madison spread rumors, and this is the price she should pay.”


    So that''s how it was!


    The crowd suddenly understood.


    They knew it, Laura wouldn''t...


    This guy was fortunate. He actually got along well with the Jones family, and so Laura protected


    him


    like this!


    "Everyone, due to some personal reasons, the event today may have to end early,” Laura


    announced. "


    But rest assured, 1 won''t let you alle here for nothing.


    “To show our appreciation, everyone who came to the event will receive a generous gift prepared


    by my family seven days from now.


    “I hope we can meet again in Leving.”


    “Thank you, Ms. Jones!” Everyone bowed in gratitude. Their excitement was evident.


    They were all looking forward to receiving a generous gift from the Jones family.


    This event was worth it!


    One by one, the crowd began to leave.


    Before long, only Cameron, Dakota, and Lena remained.


    Laura didn''t leave either.


    This was herst meeting with Cameron, and she had some words she wanted to say to Cameron


    alone.


    "Dakota, Colonel Bailey, please wait here for a moment. I''ll go talk to Ms. Jones,” Cameron said


    Chapter 217


    before walking to Laura.


    He knew that today marked their final farewell.


    “Ms. Jones.” Cameron approached Laura, his emotions slightly fluctuating.


    “Cameron.” Laura looked at him calmly but felt a storm of emotions underneath.


    2/3


    After today, they wouldn''t see each other again, and she would marry n at the Emperor Hotel in


    Leving in just over half a month.


    “Ms. Jones, um...” Cameron looked at Laura, who was standing so close. He felt a bit hesitant to


    speak


    1.up.


    “Cameron, just ask whatever you want,” Laura said, trying to control her emotions.


    “Ms. Jones, um... I heard from the nurse that day that after you brought me to the hospital, you


    didn''t leave immediately. Instead... you went downstairs alone. Do you... have any reasons for


    that?” Cameron finally managed to ask, feeling somewhat embarrassed.


    “You knew about that?” Laura''s heart skipped a beat. She hadn''t expected others to witness that


    moment.


    “Yes.” Cameron nodded, his gaze incredibly earnest. “So, could you tell me the reason?”


    Laura hesitated. However, she didn''t want to leave behind any misunderstandings like they had


    seven years ago, especially since this would be theirst meeting.


    “Well, at that time, I..."


    Lia was about to respond to Cameron.


    Whoosh!


    At that moment, from the direction of the banquet hall entrance, a surge of powerful energy


    suddenly


    erupted.


    Beneath that energy stood a ck figure.


    The figure moved with incredible speed, appearing in front of Cameron in the blink of an eye,


    catching Laura off guard.


    Then, a fierce gust of wind, apanied by the faint sound ofpressed air, aimed straight for


    Cameron''s temple.


    Cameron remained expressionless, striking back with a punch.


    Boom!


    Their fists collided, and the turbulent wind dispersed in the air.


    The assant, who had attempted the sneak attack, staggered back a few steps then looked up at


    Cameron with a smirk.


    Chapter 217


    3/3


    “Kid, not bad. You actually managed to take my punch head-on. But I only used 30% of my


    strength.”


    "Are you dumb?” Anger simmered in Cameron''s dark eyes as he stared at the assant before him.


    If he hadn''t been significantly stronger than the other party, that sneak attack just now could have


    cost him his life.


    As themotion settled, Laura also recognized the assants face.


    It was Phoenix, the vicemander of the Jones family''s guards.


    Immediately, a deep sense of anger tinted her tone. “Phoenix, who sent you?”


    “It was me, Laura.”


    A cold, arrogant voice rang out.


    A man with tanned skin who was dressed in a ck shirt slowly walked toward the banquet hall


    entrance.


    His face had a level of arrogance and confidence not typically seen in people his age.


    Laura''s expression noticeably shifted. “n?”
