Chapter 209 The vile person speaking was none other than Madison, She walked over to Cameron while holding Archie’s arm, mockery evident in her expression. Cameron remained indifferent, his expression cold and aloof. His disregard only fueled Madison’s contempt. “Oh, Cameron, what else can I say? You’re passing up the rare opportunity to broaden your horizons and mingle with some elites for the buffet here?” Madison’s eyes glinted with disdain. “How poor and ignorant must you be?” “Why bother saying so much to him, Madison? Even if he wants to curry favor with others, with his background and status, who would even bother acknowledging him?” Skyler chimed in, his tone dripping with sarcasm. He must seize this opportunity to humiliate this useless man thoroughly! Cameron remained silent, treating the two as if they were invisible. “Heh, pretending not to hear us again?” Madison sneered. She saw the cupcake on Cameron’s plate, and her disdain grew thicker. “I thought you’d eat something more sophisticated, but it’s just a cupcake. Look at you. So clueless! “Let me enlighten you. The proper choice in high–end gatherings like this is red wine with steak!” “Heh, Madison, why bother educating that useless guy? Does he even drink red wine?” Pia echoed, her expression equally disdainful. “Is red wine with steak the epitome of sophistication in your eyes?” Dakota spoke up. She couldn’t allow Madison and her family to insult Cameron like that. “And what else would it be? That cupcake in his hand?” Madison looked at Dakota contemptuously. “That’s right! Cameron just happens to like eating cupcakes, so what?” Dakota argued. “Heh, that’s why I said he’s low–class, including you and everyone around him!” Madison sneered. “You!” Dakota was infuriated, her face turning red with rage. Upon hearing this, Lena raised her eyebrows, her temper flaring. She was about to retort when Cameron calmly said, “Let me see what breed of dog you are, always so eager to follow behind and bite at others?” He didn’t like wasting time on irrelevant people, but that didn’t mean they could freely insult his friends. Cameron’s words made Lena burst into laughter. Her eyes twinkled as she looked at him. Chapter 209 212 This guy was unexpectedly skilled at retorting. Dakota’s eyes also flickered a few times at Cameron’s reply. “Who are you calling a dog?” Madison snapped, her face contorting in anger as she gritted her teeth. “Who do you think is barking the loudest here?” Cameron looked calmly at Madison. “You!” Madison was completely stumped by Cameron’s remark. “Ahh!” She was so enraged that she tried to scratch Cameron’s face. “Stop it!” Lena’s voice cut through the air, her gaze sharp as she turned to Madison. “Colonel Bailey, why are you here?” Madison froze as she saw Lena, and her expression became unnatural. Why would Lena associate with someone like Cameron? “What, I can’t be here? Also, who did you just call low–class?” Lena’s eyes were cold as she stared at Madison. “Of course, I wasn’t referring to you…” Madison trembled, saying, “I meant Cameron and Dakota. Why would you be with them?” “Do I need to report to you about who I associate with?” Lena’s gaze remained icy. Her following words sent shivers down Madison’s spine and caused her face to pale. “Furthermore, let me make it clear. Cameron is now my friend. Be careful how you speak in the future!” Lena asserted.
