Chapter 75 Misfortune
The money became the deciding factor of the waiter for him to agree to do as Aleena said. Then, he left
the secluded spot after Aleena. Meanwhile, Aleena approached Cam as soon as she got out. “Miss
Brooklyn, fancy seeing you here!” “Same here, Miss Jones.” A smile bloomed on Cam’s face as she
was forced to greet Aleena, as she couldn’t pretend that she didn’t see thetter. “I wasn’t expecting to
meet you here! Did youe alone?” “I tagged along with a friend,” Cam said. “Do you know Logan
Hunter as well?” Aleena asked. Logan Hunter was the organizer of this gathering. “My friend knows him,”
Cam replied. “He’s a friend of mine, so you can tell me if you need anything.” Aleena behaved as if
they were old acquaintances while waving at the waiter. “Over here!” Upon being called, the waiter who
was bribed approached in a hurry, while Aleena handed the drugged wine to Cam as she held onto
another ss before saying, “Cheers!”
Cam didn’t think it would be polite to refuse her even though Aleena’s enthusiasm was a little
overbearing, so she took the wine ss from her before clinking them together. Then, Aleena downed all
of her wine in one go while maintaining eye contact with Cam. The faint but definite presence of a
scent that didn’t belong to the wine could be detected as soon as Cam put the ss onto her lips.
Considering the fact that Cam had been constantly surrounded by medicine, as well as the fact that
she fell for the very same trick seven years ago, she had learned her lesson well, so she was sensitive
toward the drug. Upon casting a nce between Aleena and the waiter who just left, Cam figured that
the waiter wouldn’t have the guts toe at her, thus there had to be another mastermind behind him.
While she was a stranger to all the other guests, she knew Aleena held a grudge against her, so her
conjecture was that Aleena was surely the culprit.
On the other hand, the dy in Cam’s actions stirred up anxiety within Aleena as she asked, “Is
something wrong?” “It’s nothing. I forgot that my body is still recovering itself from a previous injury, so I
can’t drink. Please allow me to substitute it using some juice.” Cam chuckled while holding her gaze on
Aleena, then she set her ss down in search of some juice. However, a loud p and the cries of a few
women from within the hall interrupted her Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
A frown formed on Cam’s face as she looked at the direction where themotion happened, only to
see Kate having copsed on the floor, as Luca seemed to be scolding her. The sight of it triggered a
spontaneous reaction in Cam as she pped her juice down on the counter while rushing to Kate’s
aid. In the meantime, Luca was still being his impertinent self as he cursed at Kate. “You shouldn’t be so
cocky when you’re merely the chief editor of some sh*tty magazine! Do as I say if you want to hire me, or
else you can get the f*ck out of here! Who do you think you are to resort to violence, you b*tch?” “Don’t
be angry, Luca. You need not make a fuss over a woman!” The crowd around him tried to pacify him.
“Yeah, you have a public image to keep, and there are quite a number of journalists here.” All sorts of
advice was offered by the crowd, but none of them tried to help Kate up, as thetter was a mere editor
for an unknown publisher, while Luca was a top celebrity, and they knew who to side. Besides, Luca was
surrounded by women who perceived Kate to be far prettier than them, which was why they refused to
lend a helping hand; they thought they had done enough by withholding their slights. In a few strides,
Cam reached Kate to help her up before inquiring about thetter. She noticed that half of Kate’s face
was swollen. Even though it was already hard to quell her anger, Luca still had to add insult to injury by
continuously cursing at Kate. “You shameless b*stards!” Silence ensued as Cam looked toward Luca
with a harsh gaze before attacking Luca with a kick right before the crowd’s eyes.
