Ch. 2131..2140
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2131 ‘That b*stard Cameron! He actually used the account book to convince Fabio that Manuel and I are related.‘
A fat man walked behind Donald. “Sir, what should we do now?” Donald picked up the water glass on the table and drank the water slowly, and his gaze turned stern gradually. “What else can we do? I can only abandon this chess piece of mine so that I can prove my loyalty to Mr. Puzo.”
After Manuel returned, he still imagined that Donald would help him to solve the issue. However, unexpectedly, he suddenly received a call from an unknown woman. The woman said something to him, and Manuel‘s expression changed drastically. “How is this possible!?”
“Believe it or not, Mr. Estrada, do you really think that Donald will help you? He has already decided to push you out into the wilderness. You should find a way to escape now. Otherwise, Donald might even get rid of you in order to protect himself.” Manuel wanted to say something, but the other party had already ended the call.
He panicked.
‘Donald is the one who asked me to do everything. I actually planned to continue to protect his identity to the end. However, he‘s already planning to sacrifice me as soon as the account book was revealed?
‘No, I can‘t just sit here and wait for my doom to come. I must come up with a way to get out of this place first.‘
Saydie, who was sitting in a car, deleted the call log and looked out the window. The building located directly opposite her was the Serrano residence.
She then wrote a text message, sent it to Waylon, and also deleted the message.
At the same time, in the Southern residence‘s study…
Sunny learned from Waylon that Donald was going to abandon Manuel and laughed out loud.
“Manuel has seen Donald‘s true colors this time, and I think he‘ll act against Donald to save his own *ss. The time is just right. We should make our move now.”
After that, he looked at Cameron. “Cam, you and Wayne should go to the pier and keep watch. Bring some men along and make good use of them. You must capture Manuel as soon as he appears.”
Cameron got up. “Got it.”
At four in the afternoon...
Cameron and Waylon arrived at the dock early, and they had also assigned their men to go into hiding around the dock and prepare themselves for a sneak attack
Cameron looked out the window. “Are you sure that Manuel will leave the East Islands?”
Wavlon placed his hand on the steering wheel and stared straight to the front. “If you learned that someone had abandoned you and even wanted you dead, would you still have the guts to stay here?”
‘As soon as he was forced into such a difficult and tight corner, Manuel couldn‘t even protect himself.
‘Donald wouldn‘t help him. He would only push him out there to die and might even end him in order to silence him. And if he can‘t amass the money in three days, Fabio won‘t let him off this matter. When faced with this double trouble, it‘s impossible for Manuel to have the guts to continue to stay in the East Islands.
‘His only way to survive is to escape the island.’
Cameron propped her arm against the side of her forehead. “You knew that Donald would sacrifice Manuel. That‘s why you deliberately induced him to escape?” Waylon turned to look at her. “Allowing him to escape is just an excuse. Rather than let him be murdered, it‘s better to make him fall into our hands. Once Donald‘s plan fails, and we can extract evidence from Manuel, that‘s the end for Donald.”
Cameron stared at him and said nothing.
I‘ve always wanted to get rid of Manuel, but I never thought Manuel‘s death might lead to Donald getting away. My father had predicted that Donald wouldn‘t comply.
Since Donald wants to use Manuel to secure power, he won‘t allow his pawn to threaten him, especially when he’s still far from being able to go head–to–head with Fabio. Thus, his only choice is to sacrifice his pawn and push all the blame onto that pawn.
‘Fabio doesn‘t care about Manuel‘s life or death. The only thing that he cares about is a person‘s attitude and loyalty. ‘Wayne‘s strategy is to save Manuel‘s life and use him to contain Donald. That‘s what smart people would do. It‘s no wonder my father has high hopes for him. If this man were to be an enemy of the Southern Clan, I might not even be his match.‘ “Why are you staring at me?”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2132
Cameron returned to her senses and caught Waylon‘s gaze.
‘Have I been staring at him all this while?‘
Cameron cleared her throat and turned her head away. “Did you grow up eating walnuts?»
“Walnuts?” Waylon frowned, squinted, and then gave off a faint smirk. “That‘s rather superstitious, but are you praising me, Mr. Southern?”
She looked out the window. “Whatever, you‘re free to think however you like.”
She did not know if it was because of the rumors, but she felt a little awkward when she was with Waylon.
‘He should have heard of those rumors too, but maybe he‘s not taking it seriously. Could it be that I‘m the only one who keeps thinking about it?‘
At half past five in the evening, Manuel drove to the pier.
As soon as Florence woke up in the back seat, she was shocked to see herself in the car. She then thought of the words that Manuel had said to her before knocking her out and was outraged. “Where are you taking me!? Manuel Estrada, you‘d better let me go!”
Manuel glanced at the rearview mirror. “Isn‘t this obvious? I‘m taking you with me.”
“Over my dead body! I won‘t leave with you! Now let me go!” Florence tried to open the car door, but it was locked. She then tried to lower the window and wanted to get away through it.
Manuel roared and hurriedly closed the window. “Have you lost your mind!?”
“I‘m ordering you to let me go!” Florence ignored him and did not want to go with him. She pounced on the driver‘s seat, tried to grab the steering wheel, and the out–of–control car turned left and right.
Manuel pushed her away and steadied the car.
The car scratched the stone wall on the side of the road.
Manuel was sweating. He gnashed his teeth and threatened, “If you want to go down like how your father did, you can try me.”
Florence was obviously frightened just now, but she recovered from the trance at that moment. “How dare you mention my father in front of me? Do you think I really don‘t know anything about his death? You‘re the one who killed my father!”
Manuel sneered. “So what if it‘s truly me? I did it for you, Ms. Serrano. I‘d advise you not to piss me off right now. Otherwise, I‘ll drag you to hell with me at this moment.”
Florence was petrified. She did not want to die but did not want to be taken away either. She thought of something, took out her phone, and secretly sent a message to Donald. Seeing that she was typing on her phone, Manuel grabbed her phone, and when he saw the text message she sent, his expression dimmed instantly. “How dare you reveal my whereabouts!?”
Florence did not know about the relationship between Donald and Manuel, so she took pride in what she just did. “So what if I were to defy you? Mr. Donald once told me that I could always turn to him for help whenever you did anything to me. He claimed that he‘d surely help me. Do you really think that you‘ll be able to control me just because you‘ve obtained authority over The Serpents? Keep dreaming!” Manuel suddenly shuddered and tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
He suddenly realized something and then laughed out loud as if he had already lost his mind.” So this is it! He‘s been on his guard against me since long ago.” Florence became more and more frightened, especially when she saw him stepping on the accelerator like a madman. “W–What are you talking about?” “Since all you people want is just to exploit me, then why should I run away? If I must die today, you‘re going to hell together with me!”
He accelerated, and there was a junction not far away from them, but he did not even turn the steering wheel
Florence screamed hysterically, “Manuel Estrada, stop” The car rushed out of the stone fence and fell straight down the hillside with a loud sound.
The cars in the back that had been following them very closely braked one after another, and Mateo rushed out of the car. “Ms. Serrano!”
The moment Waylon received the call, he quickly drove to the scene of the accident, which the local police had blocked.
Cameron opened the car door and walked out, only to see that the police had dispatched a crane to salvage the severely deformed car. At the same time, they also brought a dead body that had been thrown out of the car when it dropped down from the hillside– it was Florence.
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2133 Mateo brought some of the members from The Serpents together with him and waited at the edge of the police blockade. His expression looked extremely distressed when he saw the bodies. Cameron frowned. “Manuel even dragged Florence along.” Waylon was silent. Nobody knew what was going through his mind at this moment.
Donald received the news of Manuel and Florence‘s accident. He then placed his cell phone on the desk, pinched the foot of a wine glass, and swirled it lightly, feeling delighted.
A fat man came up to him. “Sir, Manuel actually knew that you were going to leave him out there and chose to escape with Ms. Serrano.” “I already know that.” Donald moved his gaze off the glass. “It‘s a pity that even God wouldn‘t side with him this time around. If he hadn‘t brought a burden along with him, he would have managed to escape successfully. A woman still brought him down in the end.” ‘I didn‘t even have to do anything.
‘When Florence sent me the text message asking for help, I already knew that Manuel was going to get his sorry *ss out of the island. I originally was worried that he would fall into the hands of the Southern Clan, but things couldn‘t be better now that the nuisance has been removed for good.‘
The fat man frowned. “Sir, don‘t you think it‘s strange? How did Manuel know that you were going to leave him out there to die? The only people that knew about your meeting with Buchanon are Fabio‘s men.”
Donald paused for a bit, lifted his head, and his gaze looked sullen. “Fabio doesn‘t care about Manuel‘s life or death at all. So, someone seems to want Manuel to escape. It seems that someone working for Fabio isn‘t as clean and loyal as they seem.”
He finished the wine in one mouthful, turned around, and asked the fat man, “Have you found anything about the incident with the account book?”
Fatty replied, “I heard it‘s the person who took over The Commune. He‘s the one who found out about the issue with the account book. He should be the one who told the Southern Clan about it.”
Donald‘s expression dimmed, but no one could tell how he felt exactly. “Who‘s that person?”
The fat man answered without any hesitation, “Rumor has it that he‘s someone who goes by the name Neal Beck. Cameron hired him from abroad.”
Cameron and Waylon rushed to the hospital at 8:00 a.m. Mateo and some of the men from The Serpents were waiting outside the ICU–Manuel was the one who was being rescued inside.
Florence had flown out of the car and died on the spot because her seat belt was not on. On the other hand, Manuel remained in the driver‘s seat because of the seat belt. Still, the front of the car was severely damaged, and his injuries were extremely complicated.
The people from The Serpents saw them first and stopped them vigilantly. Mateo waved at his men, motioning them to give way, and walked toward Cameron and Waylon. “Mr. Southern, I wonder why you‘re here.” Cameron nodded slightly. “I‘m very sorry for Ms. Serrano‘s death. My deepest condolences.” Before Mateo could speak, one of his men pointed at her and yelled, “Pfft! You guys are the ones who couldn‘t wait for Ms. Serrano to die. Now that she‘s dead, you people from the Southern Clan should be the happiest people on Earth!” Waylon squinted and glared at the man. “If Manuel hadn‘t tried to take Ms. Serrano away, would we even be standing here now?”
The man was about to refute when Mateo interrupted him. “Manuel is a member of The Serpents. We‘ll be the judge of what he‘s done. We‘ll also investigate Ms. Serrano‘s incident by ourselves, so you don‘t need to bother yourselves with these matters.”
Waylon smiled. “We‘re here to investigate the cause of the accident.”
Mateo was confused. “Why would you want to do so?”
He explained slowly, “Manuel colluded with Donald behind your back. However, after things went sour, he learned he was about to be killed by Donald, so he chose to escape from the East Islands. But we never thought that he would bring Ms. Serrano and deliberately cause this accident.
“No matter what, Ms. Serrano is still Mr. Serrano‘s daughter. So shouldn‘t Mr. Serrano have the right to know what happened and the reason behind it happening?”
Mateo pursed his lips tightly and did not utter a single word. He knew that Joaqin was still alive. He also knew that what had happened to Joaqin was Manuel‘s doing and that Manuel had colluded with Donald.
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2134 Now that Florence was dead and Manuel was still being rescued in the ICU, Mateo stayed outside the operation theater, just in case something were to happen. If Manuel were to die here, the truth would forever be buried. At this time, the red light bulb on top of the door of the operating theater was turned off while the green light lit up. The doctor then came out of the operating theater, and Mateo stood up instantly and stepped forward. “Doctor, how‘s the patient?”
The doctor took off his mask, and his expression looked distressed. “I‘m sorry. We‘ve done everything in our capability.”
Mateo was shocked, and he grabbed the doctor by his shoulders. “What do you mean by you‘ve done everything possible? Are you telling me that this is it for him?!”
He was emotional, but the doctor had gotten accustomed to such a reaction. He could only explain Manuel‘s condition to him calmly, “He‘s been too badly injured. His organs were all crushed by external forces, and he was bleeding heavily. He was already in shock when he was sent to the hospital. We‘ve tried our best to save him, but there‘s a limit to what we can do too. I‘m sorry.” Mateo staggered backward, and the people behind him caught and supported him immediately.
Cameron frowned and did not say anything.
At the end of the day, the hospital issued a death certificate. After confirming Manuel‘s death, Cameron and Waylon walked out of the hospital.
She stopped in front of the car and took a deep breath. “Manuel‘s death is truly beyond my expectations. With that, we just lost our last witness.”
‘We stayed at the pier because we could only wait for Manuel to appear, but who would know that such an accident would take place amidst everything else?
‘Now that Manuel is dead, Donald‘s threat is forever gone.‘
It was Cameron‘s first time feeling such frustration.
Waylon looked at her. “Let‘s get our hands on the recordings from the car‘s dashcam first. At least we must first get to the bottom of the reason that caused the accident.”
Cameron nodded.
‘It seems that this is the only thing we can do now.‘ Cameron and Waylon came to the precinct. The police officers who handled the accident happened to have a close connection with Sunny and agreed to let them take a look at the dashcam‘s recordings. Cameron and Waylon stood in front of the computer and watched the footage recorded before the accident happened. Florence could be seen grabbing the steering wheel from Manuel, and there was a slight glitch in the footage for a split second. Cameron increased the volume and heard their conversation clearly.
“If you want to go down like how your father did, you can try me.” “How dare you mention my father in front of me? Do you think I really don‘t know anything about his death? You‘re the one who killed my father!”
“So what if it‘s truly me? I did it for you, Ms. Serrano. I‘d advise you not to piss me off right now. Otherwise, I‘ll drag you to hell with me at this moment.”
When Cameron saw what happened on the screen and heard the conversation, her gaze could not help but dim. Immediately afterward, Manuel suddenly snatched Florence‘s cell phone from her. “How dare you reveal my whereabouts!?“.
“So what if I were to defy you? Mr. Donald once told me that I could always turn to him for help whenever you did anything to me. He claimed that he‘d surely help me. Do you really think that you‘ll be able to control me just because you‘ve obtained authority over The Serpents? Keep dreaming!” Manuel laughed frantically. “So this is it! He‘s been on his guard against me since long ago. Since all you people want is just to exploit me, then why should I run away? If I must die today, you‘re going to hell together with me!” “Manuel Estrada, stop—”
The last moment of the video showed the scene of the car accelerating, and the scene abruptly stopped after a huge impact. Cameron turned around and walked out of the room.
The car drove slowly toward the Southerns residence.
Cameron, sitting in the front passenger seat, propped her hand against the side of her forehead as she gazed out of the window. She had not uttered a single word ever since she got into the car.
Waylon took a glance at her and broke the silence. “Do you think that it‘s a pity?” “I only think it‘s ridiculous.” Cameron‘s eyes moved, and her expression looked calm. She then retracted her gaze and leaned back in the seat. “If Florence didn‘t stimulate Manuel with Donald, Manuel wouldn‘t have thought about dying with her. I didn‘t expect the cause of the accident to be her own fault.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2135 At the last moment of the recorder, anyone could see and hear Manuel‘s mental breakdown. Even if Manuel deserved to die, Florence should not have been made the victim. However, she was still implicated by Manuel and eventually died because of her own ignorance.
Waylon chuckled. “I didn‘t expect you to have such a sentimental side, Mr. Southern.”
she turned to look at him. “I‘m just not reconciled. We were only 5 kilometers away from the pier, and we almost caught him. Who would have expected that such a thing would happen?”
‘I would feel better if Manuel and Florence were murdered when they were on their way to the pier. At least a direction would present itself to me, and I‘d know who went after them. I could make a move on those people.
However, they‘re the ones who caused the accident, so there‘s no clue whatsoever. Donald didn‘t even have to do anything.‘
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. “In the end, Donald got away with this the easy way.” Waylon slowed down. “Things happened, and we can‘t do anything to change that, but there will always be a solution.”
Cameron folded her arms. “Fabio is already one big problem to swallow and deal with, and Donald just has to bring himself into the equation. This is endless.”
He chuckled. “It seems that you‘re not as competent as Nollace when it comes to keeping your emotions in check.”
She was startled, then turned to look at Waylon. “By the way, what kind of grudges does Nollace have with Donald?”
She only knew that when she first saw Nollace, he was injured and floating at sea. He probably would not have survived if he had not encountered her boat and her men had not found him.
He originally wanted to stay in the East Islands only because he wanted to locate someone called Donald. It could be seen that hatred existed between him and Donald.
Waylon held the steering wheel and looked ahead. “Donald was imprisoned because of Nollace, but unfortunately, he escaped from prison two years ago. Donald is a person that will never stop unless he‘s achieved his goal, and he‘s someone who will retaliate against the people who wronged him. And Daisie is married to Nollace, so if he doesn‘t get rid of Donald for good, Daisie will also be in danger.”
Cameron supported the side of her forehead in her hand and propped her elbow against the car window. “It turns out that he‘s doing all this for Daisie. Wow, I seem to have failed to see that loving side that he possesses.”
“It‘s not just for Daisie,” Waylon responded calmly. “If Donald continues to get away with impunity, once he returns to Yararnoor with the help of Fabio‘s power, the Knowles will also become the target of his revenge. “What I admire most about Nollace is that he isn‘t afraid of putting himself on the line and in danger. He can isolate himself from all those people who need his protection and fight by himself. Even though many think that he‘s toying with death, he‘s just reluctant to show his
weakness in front of the enemy.” Cameron chuckled. “Then you should learn from your brother–in–law. So that you‘ll be able to protect your wife when you manage to find one in the future.”
Waylon smiled without saying a word. When the car arrived at the Southern residence, the lights in the living room were still on. Sunny had not slept as he was still waiting for the result.
Apparently, he had learned about the accident that Manuel was caught in.
Seeing them enter the hall, the butler reported, “The young master has come back.”
Sunny raised his gaze, and Cameron walked up to him. “Manuel and Florence died in the accident.”
Upon hearing this, Sunny took a deep breath, and his expression dimmed. “I didn‘t expect that Florence would be with Manuel.”
Cameron crossed her arms. “Manuel wanted to take her away, but who would have expected that Florence would contact Donald and stimulate him when they were in the car?”
Sunny frowned and slowly got up after a while. “Alright, you guys have been moving around town all day. Go and rest first. As for Florence‘s death, I‘ll inform Joaqin tomorrow.”
Florence is his daughter, and he has the right to know about that.‘
Cameron went upstairs.
Sunny thought of something and looked at Waylon. “Wayne, you should get the spy you‘ve assigned to stay beside Fabio. I just got the news that because of Manuel‘s escape, Donald suspects someone working for Fabio is a spy. Fabio has always been a suspicious person and will definitely look into this matter.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2136 Waylon squinted and nodded after a while. “I’ll remind her to be more careful.” The next day, Joaqin learned that Florence had died in an accident, and his face turned pale instantly.
He was stunned on the bed and was unable to speak for a long time.
Sunny patted him on the shoulder. “My condolences.”
Joaqin could not hide his grief, and his expression looked gloomy. “I didn‘t expect my connivance would kill my daughter eventually.”
‘If I were to be able to find out about Manuel‘s ambition sooner, I‘d definitely drive him away at all costs.‘
Unfortunately, no one in the world would be blessed with so many “ifs” in their lives.
Mateo appeared outside the ward at this time. “Boss.”
He took a glance at Sunny, walked into the ward, and knelt beside the hospital bed all of a sudden. Joaqin wanted to get out of bed to support him, but his legs were still not fully recovered, so getting out of bed was simply out of the question. “What are you doing?”
“Boss, I‘m to blame for this incident. I didn‘t keep a closer eye on the young lady, so please punish me.” Mateo would not get up from the floor.
If it were not for his negligence, Manuel would not have been able to take Florence away at all.
He had not realized what had happened until he found out that Florence was missing–that was when he took someone and chased after her, but it was already too late.
Joaqin took a deep breath. “It‘s not your fault. Now, get up.”
Mateo gnashed his teeth and stood up. “Boss, I‘ve told all our brothers about this incident, and they claimed that they‘re still willing to stay with you and work for you. So from now on, I‘m willing to lead The Serpents and listen to the Southern Clan and your orders.”
Joaqin did not expect Mateo would still be willing to work under him—the trust that he had had in him over the years did not go down the drain. He smiled. “I‘m relieved to hear such a statement from you.”
He then looked at Sunny. “Mr. Southern Sr., you‘re the one who saved my life. I‘m sorry to have offended you on so many occasions in the past. If I hadn‘t been so obsessed with things back then, how would I have neglected the management of The Serpents?”
Sunny responded, “The past has already passed. It‘s now time for us to come together and face our mutual enemy as one. The most important thing for us right now is to get rid of Donald first.”
Now that Manuel was dead, it was time for Donald to make a move.
On the other side of the island, at the Rain Hotel...
Donald held a photo that had Neal Beck on it in his hand. His eyes looked dimmed and stern. Although the person in the photo was wearing a mask and was secretly photographed from a
distance, he could not help but feel that this person looked familiar. Chunky walked into the room with a cup of coffee and placed it on the table. “Sir, Fabio has already started secretly investigating the people working for him. You will be regarded as the biggest contributor if there‘s truly a spy.”
Donald put the photo aside. “I was originally going to help Manuel get to this position so that I could control him secretly and get him to obtain Fabio‘s help on my behalf. Unfortunately, somebody just had to ruin my plan.”
Chunky looked at the person in the photo. “Do you need me to get rid of him?”
“There‘s no need to do so.” Donald raised his gaze and said sullenly, “If this person is Nollace Knowles, I‘ll deal with him personally.”
He got up, walked to the window, and looked out the window. “Just send someone out there to keep an eye on The Commune.”
Chunky nodded. “Yes, sir.”
He turned around and walked out of the study.
Donald‘s expression looked gloomy and ruthless. “Nollace Knowles, you can only die in my hands.”
After Mateo returned from the hospital, he evacuated the members of The Serpents from Fabio‘s territory, during which he had to go against some of Fabio‘s men.
When Fabio learned about this matter, he slammed the teacup on the table, and the teacup shattered in his hands. The scene was so astonishing that no one else dared to say a word.
Buchanon trembled and said cautiously, “Mr. Puzo, I heard that Mateo Parrera is extremely loyal to Joagin Serrano. We used to have Manuel and Ms. Serrano, but as soon as the two of them died, the first thing that Mateo did was to bring his men back to the Southern Clan‘s territory. The Southern Clan must have instigated this decision.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2137 Fabio‘s expression looked terrifyingly gloomy. “If someone hadn‘t secretly informed Manuel about my plan, would he have run away? Now that both of them have died, The Serpents have no leader at the moment. And let‘s not forget that Joaqin is still alive. The Southern Clan has truly gotten away with this as the biggest winner.”
‘If Manuel was the only one who died in the accident, at least we could still take advantage of Florence‘s ignorance.
‘As long as Florence was still under my control, Mateo would never have the guts to go against her.
‘However, now that both of them are dead, it‘s only logical for Mateo to persuade everyone in The Serpents to go back to the Southern Clan. And without someone to exert control, it will be even more difficult for me to deal with the Southern Clan.‘
Buchanon looked at him. “Is there really something wrong with the men working under us?”
‘Otherwise, how could the Southern Clan be ahead of everything?‘
After a short moment of silence, Fabio stared at the table, frowned, and ordered, “You‘re to look into the background of all the people who work in the Parkin Chamber of Commerce. I‘d rather take down a hundred by mistake than let go of one person.” Buchanon gulped his saliva. “Of course, I‘ll definitely find out who‘s the spy.”
After Buchanon left, Gail walked into the study. “Sir.” Fabio wiped his bloody palm with a handkerchief. “I have a spy working under me in my territory. Do you know anything about that?”
Gail had received the news early on, so her expression remained unchanged. She knew that Fabio was very good at tempting his men. “If you doubt me, I‘m willing to accept any investigation that you would like to carry out on me. I‘ll take on any punishment if you find anything wrong through the investigation.”
He paused and looked upward at Gail.
He did doubt Gail. After all, Gail was introduced to him by that person, and she had only been working for him for a month.
But seeing her face the doubts so calmly, Fabio somewhat dispelled his doubts about her.” Huntley introduced you to me, and I believe in him.”
Huntley was the head of the Orean underground chamber of commerce and knew many politicians. Fabio really could not doubt the person that he had introduced to him. In addition, Huntley had no connection with the Southern Clan, so the person he introduced would not have a reason to help out the Southern Clan.
He got up, walked over to Gail, and placed his hand on her shoulder. “However, I still want to test your loyalty. You‘re to kill Mateo Parrera and bring his head to me.”
He then walked past Gail and out of the study.
Gail pursed her lips tightly, and her gaze looked cold and stern.
At the same time, Cameron had not gone out for several days ever since that night. Apart from coming down for her meals, she would stay in her room most of the time. Daisie pushed open the door of her room and saw that Cameron was sitting on the bay window looking out the window. She seemed to be in a bad mood. Thus, Daisie looked around the room and walked over.“ Cameron.”
Cameron recovered from her trance and turned to look at her. “Is everything okay?”
She sat down and said, “I see that you haven‘t gone out of the manor for a few days. I know it‘s because you‘re not reconciled to the fact that you didn‘t catch Manuel alive, but things have happened. All you can do now is to think of other ways around it, can‘t you?”
Cameron was astounded for a split second and then burst into laughter. “Are you comforting
me?”
“You can take it as a yes from me.” Daisie lowered her gaze. After saying so, she lifted her head and gave off a wide smile. “Would you like to go shopping with me?” She was stunned. “Shopping?” Daisie pulled her up. “If you‘re in a bad mood, you should go out on a shopping spree. I‘ll pay for everything that you buy today. It‘s no big deal.” She sounded helpless. “I‘m the young heir of the Southerns, and you want me to go shopping and buy stuff?” Daisie interrupted her, “You can always change into your women‘s clothes.” Cameron stared at Daisie in surprise. “Are you serious?”
‘She wants me to change into my women‘s clothes and go shopping with her?‘
Daisie pushed her into her dressing room and said, “Anyway, no one can recognize you in your women‘s clothes, so just take it as a change in your identity. We‘ll go shopping for entertainment instead of staying at home frowning over an incident that has passed.”
Daisie then opened the wardrobe for her. The outer layer of the wardrobe consisted of basically all men‘s clothes, and the inner layer was filled with women‘s clothes. She was dumb to worry that Cameron would not have any women‘s clothes to spare. She raised her eyebrows as she grinned. “You wear them yourself from time to time too, don‘t
you?”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2138 Cameron was embarrassed and turned her face away. “I‘m a woman. What‘s wrong with me putting on some women‘s clothes when no one‘s around?” Daisie chuckled. “Then you should put them on. I‘ll wait for you outside.”
She walked out of the dressing room, not forgetting to stick her head back into the room to take a peek. “I‘m looking forward to seeing you in women‘s clothes.”
Cameron closed the door. “Get out.” Fifteen minutes later, Cameron changed her clothes and walked out of the dressing room. She was in a loose, long, light tortilla long–sleeved blouse with denim shorts. The hem of the blouse was long enough to cover the pants, exposing a pair of long, well–proportioned, slender legs, a pair of laced mid–tube socks and white sneakers, the overall appearance looked extremely casual and young. Daisie came up to her and took a closer look at her. “I thought you would only know how to match your men‘s clothes.”
Cameron pulled her long hair backward. “How do I look?”
Daisie lifted her head and nodded while pinching her chin. “Not bad at all.”
Daisie had been in the entertainment industry for several years and had been in close contact with the fashion and beauty industry. Cameron had an amazing figure and body proportions. Her facial features looked very profound and sculpted, and she had an extremely majestic temperament, which was why she looked exceptionally cool and charming in men‘s clothes and glamorous and enchanting in women‘s clothes.
She wrapped her arms around Cameron‘s arm. “Let‘s go now. It‘s shopping time.” Cameron grabbed a cap from the shelf, put it on, and walked downstairs with Daisie. They just so happened to run into the butler walking out of the kitchen when they came downstairs.
The butler was dumbfounded. “Young… Young master?”
Cameron pressed her index finger against her lips, motioning the butler to keep quiet, and dragged Daisie out of the living room in a hurry when no one else was paying attention to them.
The two of them avoided the helpers and dashed straight out of the courtyard.
The butler looked at the two figures that disappeared, slowly returned to his senses, and let off a helpless smile.
‘It‘s rare for the young master to dress up like this when he goes out. I‘ve not seen her dress up like a lady for years.‘ After Daisie and Cameron ran out of the Southern residence, they walked on the shaded path.
Cameron took off her cap and laughed happily. “To be honest, this is my first time going out in women‘s clothing during the day. This is way too exciting.”
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “I told you, didn‘t I? You‘ll feel better once you come out for a walk.”
Cameron wrapped her arm around her shoulders. “I won‘t argue on that, but let me make myself clear now. I don‘t usually bring any money when I come out of the house.” Daisie fumbled through her handbag and took out a credit card. “Don‘t worry. I‘ve brought mine.”
Cameron raised her eyebrows. “Just how generous can you be?” Daisie giggled shrewdly. “This is Waylon‘s card. You‘re free to spend however much to your heart‘s content.”
Cameron was at a loss for words. At the same time, in Yuzu Villa... The waiter gave Nollace the number of a private room in the lobby, and Nollace then walked into an elevator.
Another waiter came in just as the elevator doors were about to close. But he immediately lowered his head and did not press any button in the elevator.
Nollace squinted and pressed a button to get him to the third floor calmly. The waiter seemed to have recovered from a trance and pressed the button that was numbered 4.
The elevator stopped on the third floor, and Nollace stepped out of the elevator. The door słowly closed, and the waiter stared at Nollace as he walked toward private room number 3301. At this time, Waylon, Sunny, and Mateo were chatting in the private room. After Mateo persuaded the members of The Serpents to leave Fabio‘s territory, he had been busy planning their next move.
Sunny twisted the handrail on the window sill as he stood in front of the window. “Fabio is starting to suspect that there‘s a spy around him and has started investigating and interrogating all his men. Now that you‘ve led The Serpents out of his control, he will not let you go this easily.”
Mateo lowered his head. “I understand, but I‘m mentally prepared for it. Even if it costs me my life, I‘m willing to do anything to go against him.” Sunny turned to look at Waylon. “Ms. Quinn is still working for Fabio. I‘m afraid that she‘ll be suspected too.”
Waylon brushed his fingertips across the mouth of the cup, and his gaze was fixed on the coffee table. “She‘s taken over Gail‘s identity successfully. Fabio needs to rely on Huntley Wyatt‘s power in order to fight his way into Ora, so even if he suspects Gail, he will only be worried that Gail isn‘t loyal to him and won‘t suspect that she‘s contacting us behind his back. So as long as Saydie is not discovered, she won‘t be in any imminent danger.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2139 Mateo was surprised. “Is Ms. Gail Leroy your spy?” Gail was an assassin who had been hiding among Huntley‘s men. All the Orean underground forces knew her as the Black Widow. The woman was known to be extremely cruel. Rumor had it that she was originally a prisoner on death row, waiting to be executed. Huntley was the person who had hired someone in the system to replace Gail with another female prisoner during the execution and got her released secretly.
Huntley had always looked very clean and pure on the surface, and he was able to connect with many politicians only because Gail was the one who got her hands dirty on his behalf.
Waylon lifted his gaze and smirked. “I only got someone to take over Gail‘s identity.”
Mateo was surprised. “What about the real Ms. Leroy?”
Waylon squinted as he stared at the tea in the cup. “Let‘s just put it this way. She might not be able to make it here today.” Mateo inhaled sharply.
“Just who is this foreigner? He managed to get someone to replace Gail and then place her next to Fabio?‘
However, because no one else in the world knew of Gail‘s existence except for Huntley, so even if Saydie pretended to be Gail, as long as she could provide Fabio with the evidence that proved her identity as Gail Leroy, Fabio would surely believe that she was the real deal.
There was a knock on the door, and Nollace pushed the door open and came in.
Sunny was surprised when he saw a trace of blood on the white lining of his coat, “Did you get into trouble?” Nollace took off his mask. “It‘s just a rat. Don‘t worry. It‘s been taken
care of.”
Sunny‘s expression looked calm and unchanged. “It seems that you‘ve made it onto Donald‘s target list.”
Nollace chuckled, walked to the side, and sat down. “With the account book incident, he‘d definitely find out about me eventually. Perhaps he‘s started to suspect my identity and is sending someone out to keep an eye on me.”
Mateo received a call at this time and got up. “I have to go back to Mr. Serrano‘s side first. I‘m quite worried about him.”
Sunny looked at him and reminded him, “Be more careful.”
He nodded. “Please don‘t worry.”
He then left the private room.
Waylon looked at Nollace. “Is the person who‘s following you someone under Donald‘s paycheck?”
Nollace became absorbed in his thoughts. “He even has a spy placed in Yuzu Villa. The waiter targeted me as soon as I arrived here, but I tricked him into following me into Room 3301.”
Sunny asked with a sullen expression. “Where is he now?” He replied, “He‘s tied up in Room 3301. I‘ve already called Mahina there.”
Sunny laughed out loud. “It seems that the spy that was placed in the Southerns Clan‘s territory before this indeed worked for Donald. Fabio has always been the smart one all this time. I bet he doesn‘t even know that Donald is using him.”
‘If not for Manuel‘s incident, I would really think that the spy we found on our territory came from Fabio. Fabio has always wanted The Serpents to fall out with the Southern Clan and witness his success from the side, but he actually gave Donald the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. ‘If Fabio were to go to war with the Southern Clan, causing both parties
to suffer from huge losses, then the real winner of the war would always be Donald, who‘s hiding in the shadows and manipulating the whole situation.‘
The three of them discussed their future strategies in the private room until 1:00 p.m., and Sunny was the first to leave Yuzu Villa.
Nollace and Waylon then walked out of the villa separately, and the two met in the parking lot.
Waylon turned to look at him. “Be extra careful.”
Jake drove the car over, and Nollace opened the door. “Then please watch over Daisie for me, brother.”
He then got into the car and left the parking lot.
Waylon looked away at the rear of the car and took out his cell phone. There had been a lot of text message prompts since earlier, but he had not checked any of them out.
He took a glance at the screen of his phone, found out that they were all notifications from his bank, and frowned.
At the same time, Daisie and Cameron had already visited several places downtown, such as commercial shopping malls, street food stalls, arcades, and all the places that they could travel to.
After going around the town for hours, the two sat outside an open–air café for a rest.
Cameron propped her hand against the side of her forehead and stirred the coffee foam with a spoon. “We‘ve spent so much of your brother’s money. Are you sure that he won‘t mind this?”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2140 Daisie chewed the straw. “He doesn‘t lack the money. Besides, Waylon has always had a good temper, so he won‘t care about the money.” Cameron stared at the street where passersby came and went. “I haven‘t been so relaxed for a long time.”
She looked at Cameron and knew that when Cameron was pretending to be the young master of the Southern Clan, she could not be as relaxed and free as she was now. After all, everyone was staring at her as the heir of the Southern Clan. “It‘s worth taking a day off and just being your true self.”
“But I haven‘t done what I want to do yet.” Daisie wondered. “What‘s that?” Cameron responded seriously, “Pay the casino a visit.” Cameron brought Daisie to Palermo. The casino was the largest entertainment spot that the East Islands had to offer and belonged to the city council. Thus, people from the Southern Clan and Fabio‘s territory would also be there apart from foreign gamblers. Cameron was about to step into the lobby when Daisie held her back anxiously. “Are you sure that you want to go in?”
Cameron smiled. “Don‘t be afraid. You have me by your side.”
She whispered, “I‘m afraid that Waylon will go bankrupt.”
Cameron wrapped her arm around Daisie‘s shoulders. “We aren‘t going to spend a penny from your brother, trust me.”
There were three floors inside the Palermo. Except for the lobby on the first floor, the second and third floors were made up of private rooms. The interior of the building looked resplendent, with a strong 19th–century Orean Baroque influence in its interior design. Gambling desks could be seen everywhere in the lobby. The people in the casino were dressed in bright and glamorous clothes, and the scene was extremely boisterous.
Daisie was following Cameron around when her phone rang all of a sudden.
She took out her cell phone, saw the caller ID, and trembled.
‘It‘s Waylon.‘ She took her cell phone, fought through the noisy crowd, and went into the corridor to answer the phone. “Waylon?”
Waylon was holding onto the steering wheel and was on his way back. “Did you go out?”
Daisie did not dare to hide it. After all, she knew that he could receive notifications whenever she spent his money, “Yes, Cameron and I are out shopping.”
Waylon vaguely heard the background noise on the other end of the phone.“ Where are you?”
“I... I‘m shopping.” He chuckled. “And you‘re still trying to lie to me. Don‘t make me get Colton to pinpoint your location.”
Daisie changed her response immediately, “We‘re in Palermo.” Waylon narrowed his eyes. “Did Cameron bring you there?”
Daisie was afraid that he would blame her, so she answered, “I‘m the one who said that I wanted to come and take a look.”
He felt helpless, turned the steering wheel, and turned the car around. “Stay there and wait for me. Follow her closely, and don‘t wander around.”
Daisie ended the call, went back to the lobby, and walked around. Soon, she saw Cameron at one of the gambling tables.
And it seemed she had won quite a handsome sum of money not long after she sat at the table.
Just as Daisie was about to step forward, she saw several men walking toward Cameron. The blond man who was leading the group of men rested his arm on Cameron‘s shoulder. “Sweet cutie pie, you seem very lucky. Do you want to gamble with me?”
Cameron lifted her gaze off the table and glared at him. “You should really move your hand away first.”
The people sitting at the gambling table moved away instantly, and the gamblers sitting at other tables looked toward them one after another.
Obviously, the blond man was quite a man of status in Palermo, and the others did not dare to provoke him.
The blond man giggled, looking even more interested in Cameron, pinched her chin, and lifted her face in public. “I really like a beauty from the East Islands like you. Come on, gamble with me. I‘ll let you go if you win, but you‘re mine to own if you lose.”
Upon hearing this, Daisie‘s expression dimmed instantly.
‘This casino doesn‘t belong to any faction in the town, and any outsider can come here to have fun, so this place has a mixture of good and bad. Things probably won‘t end well if we get into trouble here. ‘However, this b*stard is taking advantage of Cameron in front of the public.
Daisie could no longer take it, but just as she was about to step forward, Cameron suddenly got up, squinted, and smirked. “Okay, I‘ll play with you.” The blond man rubbed his chin. “Nice, I like it.”
