Entangled With The CEO Brothers

What he was trying to say I didn’t know, yet my mind was apprehensive.

Some people look to my side, some people began to talk about something. Cameron pause time is not long, a total of only ten seconds, but it is this short ten seconds is very difficult to endure, I feel as sharp in the back.

I always remember George’s words, to be low-key, do not attract attention, but it is at this juncture Cameron stared at me not to let go … I unconsciously lowered my head to avoid his gaze.

Good thing he quickly began to speak, “First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming.”

“When I just learned that my last name is not Lynch, I’m afraid you can’t imagine my feelings … The bewilderment, helplessness and even despair of not having a sense of belonging often plagued me. During that time I always had nightmares at night, dreaming that I fell into a ten thousand feet deep abyss, surrounded by a familiar face, they just watched me fall, no one reached out a hand to pull me a hand …”

My heart trembled as I listened to him continue, “The Lynch Group was my heart and soul, I treated it like my own child, but suddenly one day I was told that I was not the biological father of this child, I’m sure anyone else would not be able to accept that.”

“But I was lucky enough to eventually find my family.”

At this point there was a round of applause from the stage, and the patriarchs of The Sterling Family stood around with smiles on their faces.

I don’t know if they were upset or not, but to have such an heir out of nowhere, no one would be convinced!

Cameron smiled and looked calm, he has always had a kind of aura of a king in the world.

“Below … I want to thank someone.” He whispered.

I raised my eyes and suddenly met his gaze, my heart skipped a few beats.

He averted his gaze and looked at the crowd, “I’ve been through a lot during this period of time, and this incident wasn’t a bad thing for me, and my will has been tempered. Looking back now, all of this is really nothing, what’s more important is that I recognize the human heart …”

“Identity doesn’t matter to me, because after this incident I know that no matter if I’m rich or not, no matter if I’m a rich businessman with a lot of money or a mediocre person, there will be a woman standing beside me.”

My heart leapt into my throat and I couldn’t even breathe. I was so excited at that moment, I thought he was talking about me.

I thought that after all these storms, he was still willing to think of me as the one who stood by his side.

In fact, I was willing to.

In that moment I wanted to leave everything behind, I could not wait to take a few steps to jump on the stage and hug him … as hard as I could and never miss him again.

I looked up and smiled softly at him, and when I met his gaze once more, I almost dropped a tear.

“This woman …” he said slowly, “and I are meant to be. No one can take her away from me!”

There was a sudden murmur on stage, a lot of people mingling, some turning their eyes to me and smiling in a different way. I sat there, my body stiff, my blood seeming to boil throughout my body.

No matter how lively they were talking, to me, it was as if the whole world was only left with Cameron and I. I looked at him, thinking that as he slowly walked off the stage, he would come over to me and hold my hand.

Instead, he gave me an indifferent glance, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth.

He turned a corner, at another table, bowed slightly to a woman, and took her hand again…. They walked gracefully onto the stage, where murmurs turned to cheers and applause, flashes streaked across the stage, and reporters busied themselves with trying to capture the all-important scene.

Only I, frozen in place.

My blood was boiling a second ago, but this second it started to freeze. It was as if I had turned into an ice sculpture, cold from the inside out.

Cameron looks back at me again before he walks onto the stage, his smile like a sharp dagger stabbing into my heart.

I huffed backward, my vision blurring … When I saw that the person standing next to him was actually Queenie, my legs went weak and my whole body almost fell out of my chair.

“Are you okay?”

Someone behind me held me up.

I settled down and saw that the visitor was Becky, who looked at me with a few sympathetic eyes.

“It’s okay …,” I tugged at the corners of my mouth, “I’m fine.”

“The house is probably too stuffy.” She laughed softly and took my arm, “I’ll show you around the yard.”

It was just as well that I wanted to get away from this place, I knew that I had become the laughing stock of the entire party and to stay any longer would be an insult to myself.

Becky took me to the backyard, it was quiet and had a small pavilion, she had a pot of tea brewed and brought a few snacks.

I have no appetite at all, even drinking water can choke on air, but also a mouthful of water sprayed on Becky’s skirt. I blamed myself, and quickly looked for paper towels to help her wipe, but I didn’t expect to knock the teapot to the ground again.

There was a mess of debris, and I crouched on the floor, finally breaking down and crying out.

“Laura, come on.” She helps me up and sits down, “I understand where you’re coming from, and I know a little about what’s going on between you and Cameron …”

“You don’t understand.” I shook my head, “I’m the one who’s sorry for him. I was the one who had to marry Rafael when he wanted to take me away, and I’m to blame for getting myself into this mess.”

“You figured out the marriage to Rafael?” She sighed softly, “It’s rare in a person’s life to run into someone they love with all their heart, no matter what you decide, don’t ever go against your heart for any other reason.”

“I don’t want to marry him.” I smiled bitterly, “But how am I supposed to repay his debt? He took a bullet for me, and that arm of his was ruined because of me!”

“Heh, I didn’t realize that after all these years, that’s still all he knows how to do.” Becky grunted lightly.

I was stunned, “What did you say?”

“Nothing.” She smiled lightly, “Anyway, I warned you that Rafael isn’t as honorable as he seems. Keep an eye out for yourself.”

I could hear that she was saying something, was Rafael hiding something from me?

“You’re probably surprised why that woman is Queenie, aren’t you?” She looked at me.

My heart ached as if it were cracking open.

Yes, why Queenie? I thought the woman had disappeared from my life.

I still remembered her from six years ago, when The Scott family hadn’t fallen, when she was The Scott family’s first lady, proud and bossy and didn’t give a damn about me. She was Cameron’s ex-wife, and the marriage between The Lynch Group and The Scott Group was a big news story back then.

On the day Cameron married her, I was alone on a flight to New Avalon. …

Cameron became the scapegoat when The Scott family got into trouble. Then they got divorced and she was in bed with Carter and almost cost me my life the day I had my baby. And then I heard she had that baby with one of her chauffeurs …

I’m just not happy, for such a woman, why Cameron still want to get her back?

Just intentionally revenge me?

“You probably don’t know Queenie,” Becky said if she meant it.

I didn’t get her point and laughed, “How could I not know her? Once upon a time …”

“I don’t mean once upon a time.” She interrupted me softly, “Laura, you don’t know much about Queenie’s background.”

“Background?”

She takes a sip of her tea, “Queenie’s mother’s last name is Lomar, and The Lomar family is considered a prominent family in our area of Southeast Asia.”

I was stunned. I really hadn’t heard much about her mother before, all I knew was Daniel, the guy who committed commercial bribery but had Cameron take the fall for him.

“Actually Daniel isn’t much of anything.” Becky laughed softly, “He did everything he could to get Ms. Lomar back then, but he was only interested in the power of The Lomar family. Daniel got rich with the help of The Lomar family, and that’s how he came to be known as The Scott Group. It’s just a pity that he is bossy and arrogant and has no bearing, when things go wrong, he will only hide behind … this is what dragged the group down.”

I nodded, “Back then he was the one who let Cameron take the blame for him.”

“I heard that Cameron took the fall for him because Daniel and Queenie threatened him with your safety.”

“What?”

I was shaken.

Becky’s eyes had a few moments of hesitation, and after a while, she pursed her lips and smiled, “It’s all in the past, let’s forget about it for now…. just talked about Queenie’s mother’s house?”

“Uh-huh.”

“After Daniel’s downfall, their family has no dependence, Mrs. Lomar has been raised in high esteem since childhood, a woman with little idea. And Queenie’s private life is chaotic, also by the media to stare for a period of time … In short The Scott family that time is more difficult to bear, Southeast Asia The Lomar family heard about it, insisted on their mother and daughter to pick up back.”

“I’m sure Queenie is living the same brocade life as before.” I sighed, “Some people have a good life, no matter how many storms there are, they live a life of honor and prosperity.”

“You’d be wrong to think that The Lomar family took them in for no reason.” Becky laughed, “I’ve already said that the status of women over there is low, if The Lomar family didn’t see that Queenie is quite pretty and has value for marriage, they wouldn’t have brought them here.”

“Marriage …”

That said I get it, it’s another business marriage, nothing about emotion, just profit.

“So Cameron is also a weight on your The Sterling Family.” I look her in the eyes, “He’s here to be this heir and at the same time a tool of the union, right?”

Becky sighs.

After a long time she laughs bitterly, “Laura, it’s really not a good thing for a woman to be too smart and capable. Just like me, after enjoying being courted and being worshipped like a god by the fans, going back to being that good girl from The Sterling Family is just too much for me.”

“And you …” She turned her face to look at me, her expression bland, but her gaze hid a lot.

“Laura, you actually see it, but you can’t let it go in your heart. I’m afraid you and Cameron have no possibility in this life, but don’t worry, your daughter Sunny, The Sterling Family will do everything in their power to make sure she gets the best care.”

My heart felt like it was dripping blood.

Becky’s words were so sensible and reasonable that it was impossible to argue with them, but I always had a few moments of resentment.

“Go back.” She said, “Been out too long, in case the good guys are on to you and you get into trouble again.”

I agreed and let her go first. I sat in the pavilion for a little while longer, and saw that the sky was clear just now, but at this moment, small snowflakes actually floated up …

It was the first snowfall this winter, and I remembered that when I was fifteen years old, Cameron was attending college abroad, and there was an early snowfall on the day he came home for winter break. I went to pick him up for my parents, but the flight was late because of this snow, and I waited for him all night at the airport. When he finally came out of the airport, I was so tired that I fell into his arms.

When I came to my senses I was already lying in a warm bed, and there was a park ticket on the bedside, with a note on the back that said, Make a wish on the day of the first snow, silly!

When I rushed over there was no one in the park but Cameron standing in front of the carousel. Snowflakes were falling on his head and body, turning his angular lines gentle. His face was still cold, but there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.

Many years have passed, but I have never forgotten that day. I forget what I wished for, but I remember freezing like a fool and curling up in his arms. Although he did not say a few words to me, but that was the most beautiful first snowfall of my life.

…

My eyes were suddenly moist and my nose had a sour feeling.

I snapped back to my senses and hurried toward the banquet hall. After turning a few corners in the hallway, I saw that there was a lounge nearby, so I went straight in. I didn’t want to go back into that bustling place, the hustle and bustle belonged to them, I was only good for solitude.

When I entered the lounge, I was just about to close the door, when suddenly someone pressed the door against me from the outside. I panicked and tried to push against it to open it, but the person came barreling in, clicking the door and padlocking it.

I screamed and scrambled to touch the wall switch. The lights came on, and the familiar, aloof, cold face seemed to float out of a dream.

“Cameron …,” I mumbled, “Why, how is it you?”

His thin lips hooked.

A meaningful smile in the deep pupils of his eyes.

“You break into my private lounge and ask me why I’m here?”

Cameron’s voice sounded better than it did coming out of the microphone, and his whole being exuded a dangerous charm, as it had before and even more so now.

I dropped my eyelids, my heart pounding.

“I’m sorry …,” I said, “I’m in the wrong place, I’m getting out.”

“You’re in, why are you in such a hurry to leave?”

He pressed me against the wall, one arm propped next to my head, and just looked at me steadily.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Cameron …”

“Nothing you want to say to me?” He laughs softly.

I shook my head.

“Good.” He whispered, “I have something I want to tell you.”

He suddenly turned around and turned on the TV screen, the remote control clicked a few times and an impact immediately appeared on the screen. The image wasn’t clear, but you could tell it was a surveillance camera at the entrance to the hotel, and the woman who walked in was me.

After that Rafael walked in as well and after a while walked out again.

My heart clenched, it was the exact same image from the day Rafael cornered me!

Cameron showed me the time on the top right corner of the monitor.

“Forty minutes from the time he walked in to the time he walked out.” He sneered, “Except for the time you guys were in the shower, he couldn’t have done it for long in total, could he?”

I blushed, not wanting to hear any more, and reached for the door, but it was already locked by him.

“What, this is too much to take?” Cameron’s eyes looked like they were going to burn a hole in me, “And can you stand the … next one?”

I was shocked when he lunged at me and pinned me down hard on the big bed.

He lifts my skirt and pushes my legs apart with his knees, I’m like a circular gauge that’s been spread apart at the greatest possible angle, and then he rips away my last line of defense in an unrelenting, brutal …
