NovelEnglish"He's fine..." Peggy's gaze wavered as she looked at the tense Laura. "And... he actually defeated them." Laura breathed a sigh of relief before immediately asking, "Why did Alan send someone?" "Mr. Xander... seems to have found out that Cameron wants to attend your wedding," Peggy replied.
"What?" Laura's eyes widened in shock, but she quickly realized the reason. Her expression becextremely grim.
"That damn Phoenix. Does he really think that I won't do anything to him just because Alan is protecting him?" Only Phoenix and Hector knew about Cameron.
As a member of the Jones family, Laura understood Hector's limits and knew he wouldn't dare do such a thing. That left only Phoenix, who held a grudge against Cameron.
"Peggy, when we get back, pass my words. I want Phoenix expelled from the Jones family immediately." Laura's tone was cold.

Whenever it cto matters involving Cameron, Laura's emotions always fluctuated wildly.
Peggy wondered why couldn't that fool Cameron see it. If Laura really didn't care about him, why would she call the way to Yrando to tell him those things in person? It was out of concern, of course.
Peggy decided to start with Laura as she probed. "Ms. Jones, actually, you don't have to keep everything from Cameron.
"He's actually quite skilled. He managed to defeat an advanced Martial King sent by Mr. Xander with just one move. I think his abilities are on par wit Mr. Xander." "Really?" Laura's interest was piqued, but she quickly regained her composure.
She had always known that Cameron wasn't weak. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to protect her in the chaos of battle.
Noticing Laura's intrigued expression, Peggy thought she might have a chance. She feigned annoyance at Cameron. "Hmph! He never showed any signs. He hid it from us so well. Ms. Jones, do you think he might be hiding other abilities or identities?" "I don't know." Laura shook her head.
However, none of that mattered.
Even if Cameron were hiding other abilities, they would pale in comparison to the overwhelming power of the Xander family, who held absolute dominance in the Leving Military Region.
Moreover, if Cameron were to attend her and Alan's wedding, he would have to face the Jones family as well.
With the combined strength of the two families, he would have no chance of survival.
"So, Ms. Jones, are you going to ask Cameron again?" Peggy finally revealed her intentions.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No." Laura shook her head firmly.
"But Ms. Jones-"
"Enough, Peggy. I know you mean well, but the matter is settled" Laura interjected then added. Besides, after 1 marry Alan, I won't be able to see Cameron." "So you're just going to let him resent you forever? But you care so much for him..."
"It's okay, Peggy. Maybe one day you'll understand. I just want him to be safe, Laura feplied with a hint of tenderness in her eyes. She understood Peggy's intentions, but she knew Cameron's character better.
She would never allow Cameron to risk himself for her again.
Even if the chances of danger were slim, she would do everything in her power to protect him.
That was Laura's way of loving someone. She wouldn't mind being labeled domineering or cold-blooded.
She had beca bird in a cage anyway.
She hoped that Cameron would always be free to do whateverhen wanted without being restricted by her. As for the resentment Cameron harbored toward her, she believed it would fade with time.
