Chapter 179
Chapter 179 Your Cousin
Once Marcus noticed that Ss was smitten with Cam, he instantly saw Ss in a more affable light
instead of fearing him. After all, Marcus was a cousin of Cam! Of course, Ss was aware of the
dynamics of the rtionship and behaved well in front of Marcus. After all, he was pursuing Marcus’
cousin. Therefore, he obediently agreed, “Okay!” Then, he instantly downed the alcohol in Cam’s ss
and poured himself another, smiling and dering, “Marcus, my fellow cousin, thank you for showing up.”
Next, he raised his ss at Marcus courteously. Following that, Marcus stood up with a smile. “You’re too
gracious. I wish nothing but the best for the studio business.”
Everyone at the table cheered them on with gossiping expressions. Kate was especially agitated at the
scene, to which Landon gave a side-eye. “You idiot. They’re only toasting, but why are you getting all
excited?” She red at him. “I just love it. It’s none of your business.” Mnie’s eyes quietly moved
between Landon and Kate as her lips curled up in mockery. Then, she gently took a sip of the drink in
front of her. However, Brian’s expression fell, and he wondered if Ss and Cam were together. Isn’t
he afraid of burdening her? Staring at Ss, Brian’s gaze sharpened. “You’re addressing Marcus as a
cousin of yours, huh? Do you have another identity aside from a stakeholder of the studio?” Cam tried
hard to think with her numb brain as she looked at Ss in confusion. Yeah! Why did he im that
Marcus is one of his cousins? Ss stared Brian down as he calmly exined, “I’m a friend of Cam’s,
and Marcus is her cousin, so I see him as a cousin of mine too. Is it wrong for me to address Marcus the
way Cam addresses him?” Brian scoffed, “Did Marcus allow you to do so? For those in the dark, they
might think that you have a special rtionship with Cam!” Sensing that the joke was getting out of
hand by the two men, Marcus hurriedly stood up to mediate, “It’s alright. He can see me as a cousin. I’m
older than most of you here. If you don’t mind, you can see me as your elder cousin too. I’d be more than
happy to see that.” Ss shot a dark look at Brian for some time before slowlymenting, “Marcus
himself has no issue with it. You should quit fussing about it!” Brian returned a sharp look at him without
any intention to back down. “Marcus didn’t put it out, but you have to be sensible. Do you know how
much trouble you’ll bring to them after you refer to Marcus as your cousin?”
Ss knew what Brian was worried about. He was aware that he lived in a perilous world, but he selfishly
wanted Cam for himself. He couldn’t stand the sight of Cam with any other man, even if she were
only hanging out with her brother. “I wonder what right do you have to question me.”
The temper of the two men was ring up, and dangerous looks lurked in their eyes. It was so tense that
they might break into a bloody fight the next moment. Everyone at the table held their breath and stared
at the two men.
Even though Cam’s response was slowing down, she could tell that the atmosphere had worsened.
With a smile, she held Ss back. “Come on, guys. It’s just a way of addressing Marcus. It’s nothing
much. I even call Ss’s grandfather my grandpa. You guys, don’t make an issue out of nothing. If I get
vindictive, both of you will be in trouble.” As she was speaking, she filled Ss’s ss with alcohol,
followed by Brian’s ss. “Drink up! Thanks for showing up to support me and provide me the hotel
event venue. Later, please remember to give me a discount. My business just started, and I haven’t
broken even!”
Taking a deep breath, Brian looked away from Ss and smiled. “You haven’t broken even? I thought
your clothes were sold out today? Big Boss Brooklyn, are you pretending to be poor?”
She replied with a somber expression, “Yeah, I’m penniless. I haven’t received my rent payment yet.”
Brian yed along with her, “How grateful! I should have be your studio’s stakeholder too.” She
smiled back at him. “I feel regretful too for not opening a florist shop.”C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
