What contract?” Madison was taken aback.“The city construction project,” Cameron replied.“What? Mr. Kane actually gave you the city construction project?”Madison was stunned by that revelation. Archie, who was standingbeside her, was also visibly shocked“He didn’t give it to me. He gave it to the Jennings family,” Cameron.clarified.“To the Jennings family?” The two of them were even more shocSuddenly, Madison thought of a certain possibility, and a wave ofanger washed over her. She pointed at Dakota and asked, “Dakotawhat do you mean by this? Are you teaming up with my ex-husband to steal our project?”“What?”Dakota was startled. She immediately said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were also interested in this project.”27“You didn’t know? You’re so close to him. Why are you pretending not.to Madison sneered.“By the way, how long have you two known each other?”“We met just a few days ago,” Dakota answered truthfully.“So you’ve known each other for a few days? Dakota, you’re trulydespicable!”Madison’s face was filled with resentment.‘Maddy, please let me explain. It’s not what you think…” Dakota saidanxiously.“What else is there to explain?” Madison interrupted sharply.“You know what kind of person he is, and you know what he did to me at the wedding today. Yet, you’re still willing to get close to him! I treat you as my best friend, but what am I to you?”“Maddy, I…”Dakota desperately wanted to clarify the situation, but she didn’tknow where to begin.Cameron watched as Dakota was scolded, and a trace of coldnessflashed in his eyes.He said, “Dakota, there’s no need to explain anything to someone likeher. She’s not a good person, so everything she sees will be tainted. Besides, this project wasn’t arranged just for them. Other people arequalified to compete too.“Besides, does she even have a say in this?”Madison exploded, “You bootlicker! You kissed up to me for fiveyears, and after I dumped you, you’re now trying to pursue my best friend? How disgusting!” “Disgusting?”Cameron couldn’t help but sneer, “Madison, you think too highly of o yourself.”$”Stop pretending!” Madison said angrily, with an attitude as if she had e seen through Cameron completely. “Do you really think I know onothing?”W”What do you know?”la Cameron frowned.At Atymy wedding earlier, didn’t you take advantage of the favor Lord lablackheart owed you to get him to act with you?”Howow did you know?”So,Sawawag night.”Madisononipdiosicurled into a sneer.You destacoldable bastard, do you really think that no one knows? Let me tell yibyour Archie’s friends were all standing at the entràf the banquet hall at the time. They heard everything!And I’ll also selfbiyahathat this news has already spread among theipper-class circlesldsetket’s see how you’ll swagger around in the future!”Is that so? That’s gooddd.”Cameron smiled. This way, he wouldn’t have to deal with peopletrying to get close to him everywhere he went, which would save hima lot of trouble.Madison gave a frustrated yell. Cameron’s indifferent attitudeinfuriated her.She shouted, “Don’t be too proud of yourself just because you’ve ruined my wedding. Archie has already promised to make up for it. Your conspiracy won’t succeed!“You disgust me, and I’ll never allow Dakota to be with someone like you!”“If thinking this way makes you feel better, then go ahead,” Cameronreplied indifferently. He then turned to Dakota, who was beside him,with a gentle smile.“Let’s go, Dakota. Mr. Kane is still waiting for you to sign the contract.”He didn’t want to waste any more time on someone like Madison.“Okay,” Dakota said, nodding lightly.This opportunity had been hard-won, thanks to Cameron’s efforts.She couldn’t afford to be late.She also knew that Cameron wasn’t the kind of person Madison had portrayed him to be.“Maddy, I’ll explain everything to you later after I get back. It’s really not what you think. Please don’t blame Cameron,” Dakota said to Madison apologetically.Then, she walked to the entrance of Darth Holdings with Cameron.That adulterous couple!Madison watched their retreating figures, seething with anger. Beside her, Archie remained silent. However, his eyes were filled with gloom. Today, he had once again been outwitted by this guy!414
