Chapter 241
Cam froze, her heart racing.
Connor watched her tenderly. “You don’t have to rush to give me an answer. I know you have a
boyfriend.”
A boyfriend?
Cam’s mind raced. He probably meant John.
“I...” She faltered, ncing at Connor in panic.
Connor chuckled self-deprecatingly. “I know it’s wrong of me, but I can’t help liking you...”
He bowed his head, pausing for a few seconds. Suddenly, he looked up. His smile was gone, and
his eyes were earnest and serious as he stared at Cam. “I really hope you’ll consider me. You’re
a wonderful girl, deserving of love and care.”
Cam looked at him. Her mind was in turmoil.
She didn’t say anything.
She admitted she still had feelings for Connor, but she wasn’t sure if his confession was just a spur
of the moment thing.
He had shown up at the moment of Haylie’s suicide.
How much this woman meant to him? Cam couldn’t tell.
She was afraid of getting hurt. After having finally extracted herself, she didn’t want to wade back
into these troubled waters.
“Mr. Connor,” Cam took a deep breath, “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to change what I have now.”
A flicker of disappointment crossed Connor’s eyes, but he quickly regained hisposure. “It’s
okay. I’ll still court you, and maybe one day you’lle to like me.”
Cam stared at him in silence.
Connor stood up, gently touched her head. “There, finish your ice cream, and remember to ice your
face where it’s bruised.”
Connor turned to leave. His figure receded from Cam’s view.
She stood there quietly withplex emotions.
She admitted she liked Connor, and the feelings were so strong that she even thought about
confessing them herself.
However, right now, all she wanted was to work hard and provide a better life for her mother.
Having been under Connor’s thoughtful guidance for nearly six months at thepany
headquarters, her skills had greatly improved, and so had her sry.
Her feelings for Connor were filled with uncertainty. How much did he really like her, and how long
would itst?
The day he grew tired of her, she would have to pack up and leave.
The fairytale love of a domineering CEO falling in love at first sight with a poor girl and stepping into
a lifelong marriage was something only found in TV dramas.
After sorting out her thoughts, Cam tossed the melted ice cream and ice cubes into the trash. She
pulled out herptop, ced the SummitTrack Investments files on the desk, and started typing.

Back at home, Connor received a call from n.

“Mr. Connor, I’ve checked. Cam’s cousin is an employee at Capital Solutions and was taken to
the police station. After his family surrendered $917,000, he was bailed out this afternoon.”
Connor frowned, annoyed again by Capital Solutions.
n continued, “Neighbors say Cam’s grandmother wasn’t kind to them. Cam’s injuries might
be rted to them.”
“Also, when her rtives left Cam’s house this evening, they were cursing. Her aunt had bruises
too.
“ording to neighbors, many locals, spurred on by Riley, invested a lot in Capital Solutions and
now they’re furious.
“Riley’s family has booked a high-speed train to leave Fairmount tomorrow morning.”
Connor’s lips curled into a slight, cold smile. “Since the neighbors want to find them, let’s give them
a hand.”
“Understood,” n replied.
Connor hung up and continued to immerse himself in his documents. He needed to quickly finish
his work so he could devote more time and energy to pursuing his girl.

Downstairs at the magazine office.
Logan opened the passenger door. His eyes were fixed on Erica, and there was a slight smile
ying on his lips. “You look beautiful today.”
Erica chuckled softly, “Thank you for thepliment.” She then bent down to get into the passenger
seat.
Logan smiled slightly, closed the car door, and got into the driver’s seat. He started the car, and the
atmosphere inside immediately became more intimate.
“Did you miss me?” he asked softly, his tone teasing.
