NovelEnglishCameron stood rooted to the spot and stared at the massive screen filled with Laura's wedding photos.
At this moment, he finally understood why Lena had advised him against visiting Global Plaza recently. She didn't want him to see this.
"Laura, have you gone to these lengths to keepfrom attending your wedding?" Cameron murmured to himself as a bitter taste of sorrow filled him.
"Is that... Laura's wedding photo?" After stepping out of the car, Tara noticed the screen filled with wedding images.
"The guy next to Laura is Alan, right?" Tara mused. "They do make a fitting pair based on their backgrounds." Tara spoke her thoughts aloud, unaware of the connection between Cameron and Laura or the history of animosity between Cameron and Alan. Cameron's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.

"It's nothing," Cameron took a deep breath, though Tara could clearly sense the change in his emotions.
She observed his somber expression and furrowed her brows in concern.
Suddenly, she thought of something and gasped in surprise, "You couldn't possibly be secretly in love with Laura, could you? How are you related to her, considering she chose you as her representative in Yrando? Could it be... that you were lovers before?" This was a suspicion Tara had harbored for stime. Among all the prominent entrepreneurs nationwide, she wondered why Laura chose Cameron.
"I'm just an ordinary citizen. How could the Jones family's daughter even notice me?" Cameron's tone was indifferent. His eyes were tinged with self-mockery, though Tara missed the nuance.
"That makes sense," she nodded thoughtfully. "Besides, Laura is known as the 'Ice Queen' externally. She's not one to take an interest in men easily. Even an extra glance is distasteful to her. This marriage with Alan must be a union arranged between their families," she speculated.
"Dr. Smith, let's not speculate any further. We better hurry to the bank. You have a class reunion to attend." Cameron cut her off and headed toward the Andura Bank of Yrando.
"Hey, why are you in such a rush? Wait for me!" Tara hurried after him, muttering as she ran, "You really must be secretly in love with Laura, huh? But then again, who wouldn't admire a woman as outstanding as her?" "Do you guys really all go for that cool, aloof type of beauty?" she continued, slightly out of breath. "Hey, slow down, wait for me!" Elsewhere, at the Jones residence.
Laura stood by the study window and gazed at the clear blue sky. Though the day was bright with blue skies and white clouds, a persistent shadow lingered within her. In just eight days, she would officially becAlan's wife.
Peggy stood quietly behind her and kept her company.
Observing Laura's troubled expression, she couldn't help asking, "Ms. Jones, are you really sure about this? Are you sure you want to marry Mr. Xander?" "Yes," Laura nodded.
She felt she had no other choice.

Peggy made one last attempt, Mr. Xander recently had your wedding photos displayed on the giant screen at Global Plaza in Yrando. I think Cameron will be very upset if he sees them." "What? Alan had our wedding photos displayed at Global Plaza?" Laura's eyes flickered.
"Yes, Ms. Jones," Peggy confirmed.
Laura took a deep breath. She knew that Alan did this to provoke Cameron.
"So, Ms. Jones, aren't you going to take the chance to tell him your true feelings?think he would at least understand your good intentions f he knew. Otherwise, I'm afraid he' might think you did it intentionally to make him give up on you," Reggy suggested. "No need. It's better if he's misunderstood." Laura sighed softly while shaking her head.
"But..." "Enough, Peggy, I know you mean well, but I understand him better," Laura interjected. She softened her gaze and added, "This is the best outcome." By letting Cameron misunderstand, combined with what she had said a few days ago, she hoped he would finally give up. "Yes, Ms. Jones..." Peggy bit her lip.
She felt hurt to see Laura enduring such suffering daily. She thought that her once vibrant face was becoming increasingly haggard.
She felt that Laura shouldn't have to bear all this alone. She resolved to go to Yrando soon to tell Cameron how much Laura truly cared for him.
