Chapter 13
Cameron opened the message and saved the number.
“Good evening, Mr. Morgan!” Dakota quickly messaged Cameron. There was
even an emoji at the end of her sentence.
“Good evening,” Cameron typed out on his phone.
“Thank you so much for what you did earlier today!” Dakota thanked him once
again.
If it weren’t for Cameron’s help, Bobby Kane would never have agreed to work
with her family. Cameron was literally her family’s savior!
“You’re too kind, Ms. Jennings. If you really want to thank me, then I don’t mind a
couple more coffees, haha!”
“Sure! But I’m afraid that won’t happen in the next few days. My best friend is
getting married, the one who called me today during our chat. I’ll be
accompanying her while she tries on the bridal gowns and I’m even going to be
her bridesmaid. I’ll definitely treat you to coffee after all this is over!”
“Bridesmaid? That sounds fun.”
“Yeah. I was still studying overseas the last time Maddy had a wedding. This is a
good opportunity for me to make up for my past regrets. Poor Maddy married
such a loser back then.” Dakota couldn’t help but get angry upon mentioning this.
That loser not only disturbed Madison today, he even hurt her brother. It was too
despicable of him!
Madison had told Dakota all about it earlier today over the phone call.
“Heh. Really?” Cameron’s lips twitched awkwardly as he typed out the message.
He was wondering whether Dakota would block him right away if he revealed his
identity to her.
“Really! I get so angry whenever I think of him!” Dakota typed angrily.
“Then let’s not talk about him anymore,” Cameron responded awkwardly.
“Mr. Morgan, the Venizon Cruise ship will be docking here in Yrando in three
days’ time. Will you be going?” Dakota replied, trying to find another topic of
conversation.
fYesa
“Are you attending Maddy and Mr. Price’s wedding too, Mr. Morgan?”
“Uh… no, I’m just there to take a look around the ship.”
“Alright. Who knows, we might meet one another again on the ship.” Dakota
looked forward to it.
“Haha, yeah.” As Cameron typed the message, he prayed they wouldn’t actually
meet.
Madison would be there and Dakota still obviously had a misunderstanding
towards Cameron.
“By the way, can I ask you something, Mr. Morgan?” Dakota suddenly typed out.
“What is it?”
“Um… have we met before?”
“Why the sudden question?” Cameron’s heart leapt lightly. Had Dakota
recognized him?
“I was wondering why you helped me earlier today at Darth Holdings,” Dakota
revealed.
Cameron smiled and replied, “Maybe. It might just be fate. Do you believe in
fate?”
Fate?
Dakota’s heart leapt in her chest, and then started to beat fast.
Was… Cameron confessing his feelings towards her?
“Um… what do you mean by that, Mr. Morgan? I don’t understand.” Dakota’s
fingers were trembling as she typed it out.
“Haha, don’t worry about it. I didn’t mean anything by it,” Cameron typed out,
oblivious to Dakota’s thoughts.
Dakota’s beating heart sped up even more.
Was she correct then?
H-How should she respond?
By saying she believed in fate too?
But wouldn’t that make her seem too rash?
Plus, what if Cameron was merely joking with her? Wouldn’t things be awkward
then?
Cameron mistook Dakota’s hesitation as disinterest, so he quickly typed, “Sorry,
something came up that I need to take care of right now. Let’s talk again some
other time.”
“Okay, Mr. Morgan,” Dakota responded.
However, Dakota felt regretful. If only she’d just responded bravely earlier!
Did Mr. Morgan actually like her?
Dakota quickly brushed that thought away. How could someone as outstanding
as him be interested in her?
Dakota silently reprimanded herself that she was daydreaming while Mr. Morgan
was only trying to lighten the mood.
She put her phone down and prepared to sleep. Yet all she could think about was
what Cameron had said earlier.
Dakota tossed and turned in bed, unable to rest.
Meanwhile, Cameron was also wide awake in the villa. He was thinking how he
should explain his relationship with Madison to Dakota in the future.
Three days went by quickly.
Today was a grand day for everyone in Yrando as Venizon Cruise had docked at
its harbor.
Four well-trained soldiers stood guard by the cruise entrance to check the identity
of everyone boarding.
There were a total of 21 levels on the cruise ship, each level equally extravagant.
Guests crowded the ballroom on the sixth floor of the ship. Madison and Archie’s
wedding was to be held here.
Countless rich folk went up to give the two their blessings. They were here not
only because of Archie’s influence in Yrando, but also because Blackheart would
be personally delivering his blessings to them.
So everyone wanted to get a share of the world’s wealthiest man’s glory. If they
were lucky, they might even get a glimpse of him in person!
Just then, Cameron arrived at the cruise ship entrance dressed plainly.
Countless emotions flooded his heart as he gazed at the familiar white cruise
ship.
This ship had been with him for seven years when he traveled the world to build
his corporate empire.
Cameron was about to enter when a bitchy, middle-aged woman’s voice rang out
from behind him, “What are you doing here, Cameron?”
The sudden yet familiar voice made him stop in his tracks.
When he turned around, Pia came into sight. Beside her was Skyler, his right arm
still in a cast. Both of their faces were cold and hard.
“Is there some rule saying I can’t be here?” Cameron asked with a cocked brow.
“You two are here too.”
“Hmph!” Pia sneered, saying, “We’re here because Madison’s wedding is being
held here. What about you?”
“I’m just here taking a stroll,” Cameron responded flatly.

“Bullshit!” Pia snapped.
“Why are you wasting your breath with him, Mom? Do you think he has the
capacity to ruin Madison’s wedding even if he wanted to?” Skyler spoke up, tone
filled with disdain.

“You’re right, Skyler!” Pia agreed. “So his plan is doomed to fail!”
“Exactly, Mom,” Skyler replied wickedly. Cameron had broken his arm last time,
so Skyler vowed to humiliate Cameron as much as possible today!
“Are you finished? If you are, please don’t get in my way of boarding the ship,”
Cameron replied in a flat tone.
Skyler’s expression changed. It felt like he’d just tossed a punch at thin air.

“Then watch closely,” Cameron said.
He then walked towards the Venizon Cruise ship.
Cameron didn’t want to waste anymore time on people like Skyler and Pia. They
had different understandings of the world, after all.
