Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire?

"I'm fine... Don't worry about me." Laura gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her cold demeanor slowly returned.

Peggy's heart sank.

Indeed, Laura had just been crying.

When Peggy recalled how cold Cameron had been when he returned, she couldn't help but suspect that he might have done something to Laura.

"Ms. Jones, did that jerk Cameron bully you just now?" She was furious.

"No." Laura shook her head before slowly closing her eyes.

Recalling her words to Cameron earlier, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. However, she had no choice. She could only pretend to be cold and

ruthless.

"He didn't do anything." Laura opened her eyes again. Her tone had returned to its usual coldness. "And don't tell anyone what you just saw."

"Okay, but Ms. Jones..." Peggy hesitated.

Even though Laura's tone had returned to normal, Peggy could still sense Laura's unusual emotion.

It obviously had something to do with Cameron.

"Let's go back, Peggy." Laura snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Yes, Ms. Jones."

On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was solemn.

Peggy clutched the hem of her skirt tightly.

After being by Laura's side for so many years, she had come to think of herself as Laura's closest person.

However, she had never seen Laura like that before.

She wanted to ask Laura the reason, but she was afraid of causing her more pain.

"Peggy, if you have something to ask, just go ahead," Laura said when she noticed Peggy's hesitation.

Over the years, she had come to think of Peggy as her younger sister.

"Ms. Jones... what did you say to Cameron? He came back looking as cold as ice..." Peggy finally asked what was on her mind.

"I told him not to come to my wedding," Laura replied.

Peggy's eyes widened as she realized what had happened.

That must have been the reason for Cameron's chilly demeanor.

Having heard something like that from a former lover must be difficult for anyone.

She felt like she could finally understand how Cameron felt now.

Based on her understanding of Laura, she was sure that Laura did that to protect Cameron. That was why she had said mean things to him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted that way.

Laura had always been tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

Though she cared so much for Cameron, she always put up a cold front. It only deepened the misunderstanding between them.

Still, Laura seemed unaware of Cameron's current strength.

If Peggy hadn't just witnessed Cameron's move, she would have been equally in the dark.

Who would've thought that he could defeat an advanced Martial King in just one move?

His strength might even rival Alan's. Not to mention that Cameron was a year younger than him.

It meant that his talent surpassed Alan, making him even more terrifying than Alan.

Peggy couldn't believe that Cameron had hidden his strength so well.

At this thought, her eyes flickered. She began to sense that Cameron wasn't as simple as he seemed.

She remembered him talking about going to Leving to look for Alan. Those words couldn't have just been empty talk.

Peggy wondered if she should be honest with Laura about it.

She feared that telling Laura in her unstable state would only worsen things.

Laura was already worried enough about the wedding. Peggy didn't want to add to her worries.

"Peggy, is there something you want to tell me?" Laura asked as she noticed Peggy's hesitation again.

"Ms. Jones, I..."

"It's okay. Just tell me." There was a hint of gentleness in Laura's tone.

Peggy had been with her for many years. She was one of her few trusted assistants.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Well, Ms. Jones..." Peggy hesitated but finally decided to speak.

After a deep breath, she said, "Ms. Jones, Mr. Xander had sent people to deal with Cameron just now."

"What?" Laura's expression soured.

Her body immediately tensed up, and she sat upright. "Is he okay?"
