Ch. 2141..2150
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2141 He chased the people playing with Cameron away and sat across from her.
Daisie nervously looked toward Cameron, who gave her a look to calm her down. She was confident.
The dealer dealt the cards. Cameron took her card and looked at it.
The blond man smiled and sounded confident. “Let‘s show your cards,
sugar.”
Cameron placed down her cards, and it totaled up to seven.
The blond man smirked and opened up his. It was a flush. Cameron looked at her cards and squinted.
The man chuckled. “I‘m sorry, sugar. Luck is on my side today.”
The man had the best cards, straights or flushes, for the next three rounds. It was crushing Cameron.
Daisie thought that something was off. No matter how lucky one was, it wasn‘t possible to get such good hands.
The blond man got up, walked toward Cameron, placed his hands on the table, and looked down at her. “Sugar, you lost. You need to spend some time with me tonight.”
He put out his hand to touch Cameron‘s face, but before he could, Cameron grabbed his wrist and widened her eyes. “I heard that you‘re famous for cheating. I finally got to experience that for myself today.” Andrei was shocked. She had heard of him? Cheating wasn‘t allowed in the casino, so he wouldn‘t admit to it even if he did. “Sugar, don‘t frame me, Ah!”
The sudden pain made Andrei lose his balance.
Cameron held him down on the table when his subordinate rushed over.“ Mr. Daskalov!”
Andrei howled, “B*tch! How dare you—”
Cameron used more force. “You should stay out if you don‘t want his arm to
break.”
The men looked at each other and didn‘t know what to do.
Cameron pulled Andrei‘s collar from behind, flipped him over, and removed his coat.
Everyone was shocked because he had cards hidden in his clothes!
“You really were cheating!” “That‘s why he won every round. He was using tricks!”
Everyone started chattering, and when the people from the next table saw this scene, they flipped their table and came over. “Andrei, you *sshole! You were tricking us!”
Andrei clenched his jaw because he was caught and escaped from Cameron‘s grip. His men came forward to protect him while he taunted the other people. “So what if I cheated? What are you going to do about it? I work with Mr. Puzo. None of you can touch me on the island.”
The people from the next table smirked. “Did Mr. Puzo ask you to cheat at The Palermo? He‘s not the only person in charge on the island. There‘s Mr. Southern Sr. too!”
Everyone started making a commotion. “Yes, you‘re cheating just because you work for Mr. Puzo?”
Seeing how everyone was getting agitated, Andrei turned to Cameron. “B* tch! It‘s all your fault!”
He picked up a chair and rushed toward her while Daisie yelled, “Watch out!”
Before Cameron could evade, Andrei flew under the table with the chair in hand, making the table shake.
Daisie smiled. “Waylon?”
Cameron was surprised and looked toward Waylon, who suddenly showed up.
Waylon turned to look at her while she crossed her arms and looked away.” There‘s no need for Mr. Goldmann to fight.”
He didn‘t speak.
Cameron walked over to Andrei, dragged him out, and then pushed him to the men. “If Mr. Puzo discovers how you spoiled his reputation, he won‘t let you get away with it. Your threats don‘t work here.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2142 Andrei looked anxious. “No, you can‘t–” “You‘ve cheated and stolen a lot of money. The debtors will eventually get it back from you. By the way...” Cameron looked gleeful and was even more arrogant than he was. “I have Donald supporting me. Even Fabio has to bow down to him.”
Waylon squinted because he knew what she was doing.
Those men had lost money because Andrei cheated and were annoyed that they didn‘t get to do anything to him. Now that this woman called him out, they all rushed forward and started beating him up. Even his men weren‘t able to intervene.
Daisie walked next to Cameron. “I was so worried just now. I thought you really lost.”
Cameron clapped her hands. “I‘m not here to gamble. I came to catch him.”
She was annoyed that Manuel was dead and had been trying to get back at them.
She knew that Andrei had been cheating at The Palermo, but everyone knew who he was, so she couldn‘t intervene. Cameron had started paying attention to Andrei because he had paid the security guard off.
A lot of people had been annoyed by Andrei because of how arrogant he was. Even though people suspected him, they would keep quiet because they had no evidence and because he worked for Fabio.
Now that Andrei cheated while Cameron was there, she called him out and angered the gamblers. On top of that, after the truth about Parkin and the counterfeit liquor came out, Fabio was probably going to lose his mind.
If Fabio could release his frustration on Donald, it would help her feel much better.
Daisie was going to say something when she noticed how the air behind her changed, so she carefully turned around. “W–Waylon.”
It was impossible to tell if he was angry or not. “Are you not going to leave?”
The air was tense in the car.
Cameron, who was in the passenger seat, had her head resting on her hand. She looked out the window at the passersby and then at Daisie, who was in the back seat.
Daisie couldn‘t stand it anymore. “I‘m sorry, Waylon.”
There was no change in Waylon‘s expression, but he nodded. “Alright.”
The car drove through the gates of the Southern residence.
Waylon parked the car. After the ladies got out, Waylon said to Daisie, “Go in.”
Daisie looked at Cameron in surprise, then walked quickly in. Cameron turned to face him with a smile. “Why did you ask her to leave us?”
Waylon leaned against the door. “You shouldn‘t have brought her to the casino.”
She crossed her arms. “Since I brought her there, I would protect her.”
“Donald has spies around the Southern Clan‘s turf.” Waylon looked down and slowly continued. “Donald has made her his target because of Nollace. Even if you can protect her, can you make sure that there won‘t be times when you let your guard down?”
Cameron smiled. “So, are you blaming me?”
She knew that Waylon was very protective of his sister. Since she had brought Daisie to the casino, she admitted to it.
Waylon chuckled. “No, I’m just giving you a reminder.”
He walked to her. “Nollace asked me to take good care of Daisie. If anything happened to her, I wouldn‘t be able to stop him if he confronted you about it.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2143 Cameron had nothing to say to that.
She touched her nose and cleared her throat. “Alright, I‘ll pay more attention so that her husband doesn‘t come after me.” She walked into the yard with Waylon. When she saw a helper walk past, she grabbed Waylon‘s hand and hid behind him.
Waylon was shocked as he looked down at her hand that was grabbing onto his.
The helper smiled. “Welcome back, Mr. Goldmann.”
He nodded courteously.
The helper noticed the woman behind him. “This is?”
He smiled. “She‘s—”
Cameron dug her nails into his arms, which made him take a sharp breath and look back at her. “Ms. Torres.”
The butler just happened to walk in with Sunny at that moment. When Sunny saw the woman behind Waylon, he thought that another woman had gotten to his future son–in–law.
He frowned. “Willy, who‘s this lady?”
The butler recognized Cameron from her outfit, but since the helper was there, he didn‘t speak up. Waylon smiled. “Can‘t you tell?”
Sunny was stunned, but he walked forward until Cameron showed half her face and immediately recognized her. “Oh, it‘s Ms. Torres.” Cameron smiled and whispered. “I’m Iris Torres.” He glared at her. “You...”
Iris sounded like your father‘ in Sunny‘s native tongue.
He looked around and lowered his voice. “You‘re trying to make a fool out of me, kid?”
Cameron wasn‘t afraid. “I‘m not Cameron now. I‘m Iris.”
He chuckled. “So, you think I won‘t beat you up?”
Cameron walked next to Waylon and put her hand on his shoulder. “It‘s fine if you do, but it would be terrible if you accidentally hit Mr. Goldmann here.”
Only the three of them could hear that conversation.
Sunny looked at the hand that was on Waylon‘s shoulder and saw that Waylon didn‘t mind it, so he burst out with a joyful laugh. “Willy, Ms. Torres is such an interesting person. Since she‘s here now, you should show her around this place.”
He then walked into the house with the confused butler.
Cameron was suspicious. “What‘s wrong with my dad?”
Waylon looked at her and then at the hand on his shoulder. “Are you feeling comfortable, Ms. Torres?”
Cameron followed his line of sight to her own hand and patted his shoulder as if she was trying to brush some dirt off. She then smiled and said, “I saw a fly on it, so I was trying to swat it away.”
Cameron couldn‘t go back to her room. If she went back and walked out in his men‘s wear, everyone would see ‘Ms. Torres‘ going in but never coming back out. They would definitely raise suspicions. Thus, she had to follow Waylon around.
She walked behind Waylon while holding onto his arm and mumbled, “Why am I taking a tour in my own home?”
The man in front of her suddenly stopped walking, and she almost bumped into him.
A few men who were just done training at the martial arts center saw Waylon and greeted him. “Mr. Goldmann.”
Cameron saw them and immediately turned her back toward them.
The men saw the woman next to Waylon and were shocked. “Who‘s this lady? She looks kind of familiar.”
Waylon looked at Cameron, who was trying to hide from them, and his lips curled. “This is Cameron...”
He paused for a few seconds. When he noticed the men were shocked and Cameron was angry, he calmly continued. “...‘s secret lover, Ms. Torres.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2144 The few men suddenly understood, and someone teased. “I thought you said he was dressed up as a woman.”
“I‘m pretty sure he would look beautiful as a woman. He has a feminine face.”
“Right, Mr. Goldmann?“. Waylon had a ‘scandal‘ with Cameron, so they asked what he thought. Waylon looked at Cameron‘s face and stopped there, then smiled. “He does.”
The few men laughed. Waylon looked back at them. “Do you think you‘d be able to accept it if he really was a woman?”
Cameron froze. What was he thinking?
They were shocked for a few moments. “I think it would be pretty scary if he were a woman.”
Another man rebuked him. “How would it be scary? Wouldn‘t it be nicer? I‘d want a gentle lady more. How long would you be able to handle his torture?”
Probably recalling how Cameron had beaten them up during training, that man suddenly understood. “Right. We would have easier training sessions if Mr. Southern Sr. had a daughter.”
Cameron took a deep breath. She would have kicked their butts if she didn‘t have to hide her identity.
Waylon peeped at her expression and couldn‘t help but smile. The men left soon after.
After they walked away, Waylon chuckled. “I guess they really are afraid of
you.”
Cameron turned to glare at him. “Did you do that intentionally?”
He raised his brows.“I‘m just testing the waters to see if they will be able to accept your real identity.”
“I should thank you then?” “You‘re welcome.”
Cameron was rendered speechless.
It was getting dark when they walked back from the backyard. Cameron looked at Waylon through the corner of her eyes and was getting more and more curious about why her father thought so well of him.
Her father would never treat anyone nice for no reason, especially an outsider. Even if he was trying to get his support, the way he looked at Waylon exuded happiness and love.
She thought hard about it. Was her father trying to get something from him?
Waylon slowed down. “Did you go to the casino to plot against Fabio?”
She had exposed Andrei for cheating and made the gamblers at Palermo angry. Andrei was Fabio‘s subordinate, so everyone would think that Fabio knew that he was making a fortune from violating the rules there.
On top of that, after Parkin was uncovered for selling counterfeit liquor, Fabio suffered a huge loss. Even if he wanted to take action, what Andrei did would embarrass him.
Cameron turned to face him. “I‘ve wanted to get Andrei for a long time now, but I never got the chance. Since I caught him, I might as well make good use of the chance.”
Waylon smiled. “Aren‘t you afraid that Donald will find out who you are after framing him?”
Cameron‘s face dropped. “I‘m not.”
He smiled. “Donald has spies in the territory. You got lucky this time for making a scene at the casino.”
Cameron stopped walking and looked shocked. “Isn‘t Fabio the one who has spies here?”
Waylon was calm. “Fabio keeps his eyes on The Serpents and the Southern Clan, and the Southern Clan has their attention on him. Thus, Donald took advantage of this. He wouldn‘t be able to use Manuel if he was in hiding, and he wouldn‘t be able to know our exact whereabouts either.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2145 Cameron raised her brows. Come to think of it, Manuel had hired the killers from Skull Club to get rid of her, and the fact that he was able to hire them showed that Donald was involved in that somehow.
Donald hid behind Manuel and used him as a pawn. The Southern Clan would have a conflict with The Serpents, and no matter who won in the end, Fabio would benefit from it. However, Donald would be the ultimate winner.
Once The Serpents were under Manuel, and the latter managed to take down the Southern Clan, Donald would be able to get power through Manuel from Fabio. He then would be able to win over Fabio‘s men through the power that Fabio gave to Manuel.
All he had to do was hide in the background, do nothing, and let Manuel do all the hard work to get the power. Manuel would seem like he was loyal to Fabio, but his actual master would be Donald.
That was a brilliant move on Donald‘s part.
Cameron touched her chin and squinted. “Why are you telling me all this?”
Waylon looked toward her. “I was worried that you went to the casino because you were unhappy about Manuel‘s death, but I guess I was overthinking. What you did actually helped your father.”
Cameron smiled. “Without Manuel, what I did will cause Fabio to start doubting Donald and all that will fit into your plans.” Waylon smiled and looked at her. “But it‘s up to Nollace if we can pull that off or not.”
Two heads poked out from behind a wall. Daisie had her eyes on the two who were not too far away. “What do you think they‘re talking about?” Sunny thought about it. “It doesn‘t matter as long as they‘re making things work.”
She didn‘t know what to say to that. How could he tell that they were making things work? It just looked like they were having a chat.
“Sir...” The butler suddenly showed up, and the two jumped, then shushed him.
Waylon and Cameron seemed to have noticed that and walked over.
Cameron crossed her arms. “Dad, Daisie, why are you hiding here?”
Sunny cleared his throat. “We‘re just here to tell you that dinner is ready, but we didn‘t want to interrupt because you were having a conversation.”
He then looked at the butler. “Dinner is ready, right? Let‘s go inside.” The butler got the message, nodded, and left with Sunny. Daisie was going to leave too, but Waylon grabbed her by her collar and pulled her back.
She turned and smiled sheepishly. “Yes?”
Waylon looked calm. “Could you go inside, Cameron? I need to speak to my sister.”
Cameron left without saying anything.
After that, only the two of them were left. Daisie looked at her shoes and asked, “Do you have questions for me?”
Waylon squinted because he caught how guilty she looked. “Shouldn‘t I be the one asking you that?”
Daisie‘s heart dropped, but she looked up with a bright smile. “What‘s your question?”
He knew that she was playing dumb, so he frowned. “Do you think I was not going to notice you and Mr. Southern Sr. hiding there?” She was surprised. “You noticed?”
“Yes.” His eyes seemed to see through her.
Daisie looked down because she didn‘t know how to explain herself. Would her brother be angry if he found out that she and Sunny were ‘planning‘ something? He raised her hand and poked her head. “Be honest, or I‘ll get Colton to bring you away.”
“No, no, no...” Daisies grabbed his arm and hesitated. She was supposed to
keep it a secret but still spilled it. “It‘s... not my idea. It‘s Mr. Southern Sr.‘s.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2146
Daisie mumbled, “Mr. Southern Sr. likes you.”
Waylon was stunned. “What?”
Realizing that Waylon might have misunderstood her, she hastily added, “He likes you as his son–in–law.”
The atmosphere froze.
Daisie lowered her head. Even though she felt sorry for Sunny, she had no choice but to sell him out since she was even more afraid of her eldest brother.
Waylon did not say anything for a long while, and she felt uneasy. After all, she had never asked Waylon and Cameron about each other. When she first saw that Sunny had the intention of matching Waylon and Cameron, she figured that she should help.
She liked Cameron. She was pretty and smart. Not only that, but she was also brave and good at fighting. Besides, she was not inferior to her eldest brother.
However, it now seemed to Daisie that Sunny’s dream was going to shatter.
Waylon and Cameron did not seem to like each other at all.
Daisie lifted her eyelids slowly. She was worried that Waylon might get angry, but apparently, she was wrong. Waylon did not seem as upset as she thought he would be. Instead, he seemed like he was locked in his own thoughts.
Daisie whipped up a smile and said, “Brother, please don’t get angry at Mr. Southern Sr. After all, you’re too outstanding. It shows that Mr. Southern Sr. has an eye for good things.”
Waylon lifted his head and looked at her intently. There was something flowing under his gaze, but Daisie could not read it.
Before she could say anything, he said, “So, that’s the reason you’re working with him?”
Daisie was stumped. She averted her gaze and continued. “Alright, alright. I promise you I won’t do something like this again, okay?”
“Let’s head back.”
Waylon walked past her and walked to the front.
Daisie followed after him and asked, “Waylon, you really don’t have any feelings for her?”
He did not reply, so the question remained unanswered.
The night was getting darker, yet the downtown was brightly lit. A car was coming to a stop in front of the Roselle Club at Southwest District. Buchanon got out of the car, and the man in front of the door brought him into the private room.
The private room was filled with smoke. Donald was sitting on the couch, and a woman was sitting next to him.
After Buchanon entered the private room, Donald invited him to take a seat. He ordered the
woman to pour a glass of wine for him and said, “I’m really honored that you’re willing to come and see me.‘
Buchanon harrumphed. “It seems to me that you’re pretty busy at night, Mr. Matthews. Are you not aware of what happened at the casino yet?”
Donald held the wine glass in his hand and asked, “What happened at the casino?”
It seemed to Buchanon that Donald did not know what had transpired, so he told him what had happened to Andrei at the casino. After that, he continued. “Mr. Puzo has been suspecting you due to Manuel, and if you can’t give him an explanation for what happened at the casino this time, I’m afraid even I can’t help you either, Mr. Matthews.”
Donald gazed at the wine in the glass and said, “If I said someone is trying to sow discord between Mr. Puzo and me, would you believe it?”
“It’s not up to me to believe it or not,” Buchanon said with a stern face. “You told Mr. Puzo that there is a mole around him, and he has been very unhappy about it since the mole hasn’t been discovered yet. Andrei has been exposed now, and that woman said she was working for you. If you can’t solve this problem, I might get affected as well.”
Donald knew that Buchanon was worried he might get affected. He told the woman to give him a cigarette and said, “You don’t have to worry about a thing. Mr. Puzo doesn’t trust me, but he trusts you. It isn’t hard to solve this problem, so you can count on me.”
Buchanon was not in the mood to smoke, so he pushed the woman away. “Do you think Mr. Puzo trusts me? He even has begun to suspect that one of my men is the mole. If you can’t solve this problem, I think we don’t have to see each other anymore.”
“When Manuel failed his mission, he said he saw a woman help Sunny from the sideline.” Buchanon was stunned.
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2147
Donald took a sip from the wine and continued in a calm manner. “He told me that the woman looks very much alike to someone from Mr. Puzo’s side.”
Buchanon was shocked. “You’re talking about Ms. Leroy?”
Out of the women around Fabio, only Gail was capable of fighting. However, he remembered something and quickly shot down that notion. “It shouldn’t be her. Huntley introduced her. Huntley doesn’t have any connection with the Southern Clan, so there’s no way Ms. Leroy is working for the Southern Clan.”
Donald lowered his head and gazed into the wine glass. “Other than Huntley, no one has ever seen Ms. Leroy before. What if she isn’t the real Ms. Leroy?”
Buchanon fell silent.
Using the light in the private room, Donald looked at him. “Why don’t you send someone to keep an eye on her, Mr. Gibson? Of course, I hope she isn’t the one we’re looking for as well, but if she’s suspicious, Mr. Puzo might owe you a favor then.”
Their conversation ended around 10:00 p.m. Buchanon came out of the private room with his head held low in worries so he did not notice someone monitoring him from the dark.
After Donald came out of the private room, the person merged into the darkness of the alley. Donald entered a car in front of the door and went away.
In a black car not far away, Nollace rolled down his window and watched as the car slowly disappeared into the horizon.
Jake opened the door and went into the driving seat. He put on the seatbelt and started the engine. “I didn’t expect Donald to know Buchanon from the Parkin Chamber of Commerce.”
The neon light from the street showered on Nollace’s face and made him look even more mysterious. “Buchanon is the chairman of the Parkin Chamber of Commerce. He’s Fabio’s valuable assistant, so it isn’t strange if he knows Donald.”
Jake said, “I didn’t dare to go too near them, so I didn’t hear their conversation.”
“It’s fine.” Nollace placed his finger at the tail of his eyebrows and lifted his eyelids. “It’s enough to know they’re dealing with each other privately.”
The next day…
Cameron changed into her normal attire and went downstairs to take her breakfast. She heard that the maids were talking about when “Ms. Torres” left, and the butler had no other choice but to say she left last night.
She pulled the chair and got herself a bowl of porridge.
Biting her fork, Daisie glanced at her eldest brother. Even though Waylon already knew Sunny’s intention, it did not affect him, and he seemed as normal as always.
When Waylon noticed her gaze and turned his head to look at her, she hastily lowered her head.
Sunny put down his fork and said, “I’m done. You guys serve yourselves.”
Daisie ate her breakfast and did not say anything. She did not know how to face Sunny right now, and Sunny had no idea that she had already sold him off.
There were three people left at the table, and the atmosphere froze.
Cameron lifted her head and looked at them. “Why are you two not talking?”
That was especially so for Daisie. She usually had a lot of things to share on the table, but she was exceptionally quiet today. Cameron was not used to it.
Daisie put down her fork and said, “I… I’m done too.”
She rose to her feet and rushed upstairs.
There was a confused expression on Cameron’s face, and she turned to look at Waylon. “What did you say to her yesterday?‘
‘Could it be that he punished her yesterday?‘
Waylon lifted his eyelids and looked at her. “Nothing.”
She shrugged. “Alright then. I won’t ask anymore.”
He gazed at her, and it took him a long while before he asked, “Have you never wondered why your father likes me so much?”
Cameron was momentarily stunned before she picked a sandwich into her plate. “How would I know? Maybe he wants you to be his son.”
He chuckled. “Well, maybe you’re right.”
She jerked her head up and said, “It seems to me that you’re pretty good at winning other people’s favor.”
That explained why her father liked him so much.
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2148
Waylon did not say anything in return.
It was about eight after they finished their breakfast, and Waylon went into Sunny’s study room to talk to him about something.
Sunny was writing something in front of his desk. He said, “Nollace has found something. Donald has been dealing with Buchanon in private as well.”
Standing by the window, Waylon said, “According to Saydie, Buchanon has been working for Fabio for ten years. He has been taking charge of the Parkin Chamber of Commerce, and he is Fabio’s most valuable assistant.”
He nodded. “Buchanon is a slick person. He knows when to retreat, and he’s afraid of death. Although Fabio doesn’t trust him very much, he’s fine with him taking care of his stuff.”
“I guess Buchanon must be alerted by that batch of counterfeit liquor. He’s worried that Fabio might really kill him one day.” Waylon turned around to look at Sunny. “That’s why he approached Donald in the hope of looking for a new way out.”
Sunny put down his pen and raised his head. With a smile on his face, he said, “Now we can only count on Nollace and see if he can get anything from Buchanon. He has been working for Fabio for so many years, so he must know a lot of his secrets.”
Waylon looked at the pen on the desk, and it took him a long while before he asked the question, “Mr. Southern Sr., there’s one thing I would like to ask you. What do you like about me?”
Sunny was stunned for a moment. He raised his head to meet his gaze. Waylon’s eyes were clear, but his gaze was piercing. Even though there were some unreadable emotions in his eyes, Sunny’s heart still skipped a beat when he met his gaze.
Sunny decided not to lie to him and chuckled. “You already know about it?”
Waylon lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry. You and Daisie aren’t good actors, so I have been suspecting it for a long while.”
“Well, it’s true that I have that intention,” Sunny replied straightforwardly. “After all, it’s rare for me to come across a young man as smart and tactful as you are. You’re even better than me when I was young.”
Waylon shook his head helplessly. “You’ve flattered me, Mr. Southern Sr.”
Sunny sat on the chair and said, “I’m not exaggerating. I’m very good when it comes to reading people. Of course, I’m not going to force you or Cameron. I’ll let nature take its
course.
What Sunny did not say was that love could be developed as time went on.
He was not going to force Waylon as he was worried that he might scare him off. He was going to use the boiling the frog tactic, and he was confident that the things between Waylon and Cameron would work out somehow.
“Mr. Southern Sr.!”
Mahina rushed into the study.
Waylon and Sunny turned their heads to look at her. Before she could catch her breath, she said, “Something happened to Mateo!”
Sunny’s face sank. “What happened?”
“I just received news that Mateo had been missing for two days. Joaqin sent a team to look for him, and someone found a headless corpse in the woods. The corpse is wearing the clothes that Mateo was wearing that day.” Mahina took a deep breath. “I’m afraid it’s done by Fabio’s people.”
At the Southwest Villas…
Gail entered the living room with a black plastic bag. Other than the bodyguards, the rest of the people, including Buchanon, were looking at her.
She tossed the black plastic bag on the floor, and Buchanon nearly wet his pants when he saw what was inside the plastic bag. He fell to the floor and stammered, “It… It’s a head.”
Fabio glanced at the terrified Buchanon and snorted. “Stop being so dramatic. It’s just a head.” A bodyguard picked Buchanon up from the floor. His face was pale and bloodless as he looked at the expressionless Gail.
The air was pervaded with the smell of blood. Everyone fell silent as they could feel a chill down their spines when they saw the head that had a grotesque expression.
Fabio picked up the cup. Apparently, he was not affected. He lifted his eyelids and chuckled. Well done, Gail.”
Gail lowered her head. “It took me two days to locate him. I’m sorry for the delay.”
“It’s fine. The most important thing is that you’ve completed your mission.” Fabio waved his hand and commanded his bodyguard to take the head away. He rose to his feet and walked up to Gail. Putting his hand on her shoulder, he said, “Huntley has told me a lot about you. You indeed didn’t fail your reputation as the Black Widow.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2149
Gail lowered her head. “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Puzo.”
Fabio patted her shoulder and turned around to look at Buchanon. It was only then Buchanon came around to his senses and said, “Ms. Leroy, you indeed are one hell of a killer.”
Not only had she chopped his head off, but she even brought the head back. It was not something that anyone could do.
Fabio retracted his hand and sat on the couch. “How about the mole? Did you discover anything?”
Buchanon had been startled by the head, so it was only now that he came around to his senses. When he heard Fabio’s question, cold beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead as he remembered what Donald had told him.
He looked at Gail and forced a smile on his face. “I’ve checked everyone in the Parkin Chamber of Commerce. There’s nothing wrong with them, but…”
“But what?” Fabio placed the cup of tea near his lips.
Buchanon told him about the fight Manuel had with Sunny in front of the hospital that day. He lifted his head and continued. “Manuel said that the woman he saw that day looked a lot like… Ms. Leroy.”
Gail squinted and clenched her fists tightly inside her sleeves.
Fabio emptied the tea and glanced at Gail.
Gail asked, “Mr. Gibson, are you sure I’m the person that Manuel said he saw?”
Maintaining the smile on his face, Buchanon replied, “He just said that that woman looks a lot like you.”
“So, are you implying that Mr. Wyatt has been colluding with the Southern Clan?”
Sensing Fabio’s piercing gaze, Buchanon hastily said, “Of course not! That’s not what I’m saying!”
Holding the empty cup in his hand, Fabio chimed in and asked, “So what are you trying to say?”
Buchanon’s back was filled with sweat. “This was Manuel’s speculation, and I’m concerned about your safety, Mr. Puzo.”
Gail smiled. “Everyone knows where I was that day, so go ahead if you want to check anything. Before I came to the East Islands, I worked for Mr. Wyatt, but my master now is Mr. Puzo. What’s in it for me to help the Southern Clan? Could it be that Mr. Southern Sr. is my master?”
Buchanon’s heart was in his throat when Fabio did not say anything. He gnashed his teeth and said, “But other than Mr. Wyatt, none of us have seen you before, Ms. Leroy. I’m just worried that someone might be impersonating ‘you‘…”
He did not finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he was trying to say.
Fabio was a highly suspicious person. Initially, he suspected Gail as well, but Gail was sent
over to him by Huntley, and doubting Gail was similar to doubting Huntley.
Buchanon’s words aroused Fabio’s suspicion once again.
With a smile on her face, Gail said, “What about I make a video call with Mr. Wyatt? If he says I’m not the real Gail, you can do whatever you want with me, Mr. Puzo.”
Buchanon was stunned.
Since she had the guts to make a video call with Huntley, it meant that she was the real deal.
Fabio looked at him expressionlessly and asked, “Do you have anything else to say, Buchanon?”
Buchanon felt weak at his knees. His forehead was filled with beads of cold sweat as he said, I’m just worried about-”

Fabio threw the cup on the floor next to his feet and rose to his feet. “How dare you question Gail, you idiot!? If you spoil my plan again, you’ll be the next one to get your head chopped off.”
Buchanon fell to his knees and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Puzo! I promise I won’t make the same mistake again!”
Fabio turned around and went upstairs without looking at him.
Buchanon hastily walked out of the villa, and he only relaxed a bit when he came into the courtyard. He grabbed the collar of his subordinate and hissed. “Go back and inform Donald. He nearly got me killed!”
He pushed the man away and went back into the car.
He suspected Gail’s identity because of the things that Donald had told him, but Gail had the guts to prove her identity.
Fabio was in need of Huntley’s help, so he couldn’t do anything to Gail. If he continued to suspect Gail’s identity, Fabio might not be happy about it, and he would be in big trouble.
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2150
The people in The Serpents were filled with fear when they heard about Mateo’s death. Even though they were no longer in Fabio’s territory, they did not know about Joaqin’s whereabouts, and there was no one to lead them now.
Soon, Fabio sent someone over and took some of them back while the rest of them went into hiding. There were not many people left in The Serpents, and they were on the verge of disbanding.
Meanwhile, in the hospital…
Mateo’s men had all gathered in Joaqin’s ward. When Joaqin heard of Mateo’s death, he was filled with grief and hated himself for being powerless.
Cameron and her men appeared in front of the ward, and the crowd in the ward all turned their heads to look at her.
She stopped in front of Joaqin’s bed and said, “My father said he’ll give you an explanation regarding Mateo’s death.”
Joaqin did not say anything, but the people in the ward were agitated. “Explanation? What kind of explanation? Mr. Southern Sr. said that he’d help us, but what happened now? They killed Mateo. Some of us were taken away by Fabio’s people, and you Southerns have done nothing!”
Cameron glanced at him and said coldly, “If you guys had some brains, you wouldn’t have defected to Fabio with Florence. You should be grateful that my father saved your boss‘ life and protected him.
“Did
you do anything for the Southerns when you were in the territory with Florence or Manuel? If not, then why are you pointing fingers at us right now and saying that we should help you when something happens?”
Everyone fell silent.
Cameron continued calmly. “Of course, if Manuel hadn’t been power–hungry and colluded with Donald behind your back to plot against your boss, none of this would have happened to you.
“And everything Mateo did was for The Serpents and your boss. If he didn’t die, it’d be your boss who would have died. The enemy that we need to face together is Fabio right now. If you lose your confidence now and refuse to stand up after the blow, there is no way we can help to save you.”
That man lowered his head. Even though he did not want to admit it, it was true that they did not have the right to ask the Southern Clan to save them.
Joaqin took a deep breath and said, “If I disband The Serpents, Fabio won’t see us as a threat anymore.”
The crowd was stunned. “But boss-”
He raised his hand to stop them and continued, “I should have thought of it earlier. There is no way Fabio will allow The Serpents to return to the Southern Clan’s side. Even if Manuel didn’t try to kill me, Fabio would send someone after me as well sooner or later. As long as I’m
still alive, I’m nothing but a dispensable pawn for him.”
One of them asked, “Boss, do you really want to disband The Serpents?”
“That’s the only way. Besides, The Serpents aren’t complete anymore.” Joaqin clenched his hand tightly. “I’m just a crippled old man who can’t even get out of bed. The only thing I can do right now is to protect the remaining people.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Cameron. “Mr. Southern, I’m not asking you to help them, but I hope that they will have a chance to survive and stay away from the threat of Fabio.”
Cameron nodded.
When she came out of the ward, Mahina was waiting for her in front of the elevator. “Sir, I’m sorry. I should’ve sent someone to follow Mateo when he left the hospital that day.”
She walked into the elevator, followed by Mahina. As Mahina pressed the button for the floor, she asked, “Has the autopsy report been released yet?”
Mahina replied, “Yes. The time of death was two days ago. There are multiple fractures and external injuries on his body, so he should’ve fought with someone before he was killed. The injury that killed him was the blow to his head. But what’s strange is that his head was chopped off two days after he died.”
Resting her chin on her hand, Cameron squinted. “What is the point of cutting off the head of a person who has been dead for two days?”
