Cameron stood rooted to the spot and stared at the massive screen filled with Laura’s wedding photos.
At this moment, he finally understood why Lena had advised him against visiting Global Plaza recently. She didn’t want him to see this.
“Laura, have you gone to these lengths to keep me from attending your wedding?” Cameron murmured to himself as a bitter taste of sorrow filled him.
“Is that… Laura’s wedding photo?” After stepping out of the car, Tara noticed the screen filled with wedding images.
“The guy next to Laura is Alan, right?” Tara mused. “They do make a fitting pair based on their backgrounds.”
Tara spoke her thoughts aloud, unaware of the connection between Cameron and Laura or the history of animosity between Cameron and Alan. Cameron’s eyes flickered, but he remained silent. “Cameron, what’s wrong?” Tara looked at him curiously after she noticed something was amiss.
“It’s nothing,” Cameron took a deep breath, though Tara could clearly sense the change in his emotions.
She observed his somber expression and furrowed her brows in concern.
Suddenly, she thought of something and gasped in surprise, “You couldn’t possibly be secretly in love with Laura, could you? How are you related to her, considering she chose you as her representative in Yrando? Could it be… that you were lovers before?”
This was a suspicion Tara had harbored for some time. Among all the prominent entrepreneurs nationwide, she wondered why Laura chose Cameron.
“I’m just an ordinary citizen. How could the Jones family’s daughter even notice me?” Cameron’s tone was indifferent.
His eyes were tinged with self-mockery, though Tara missed the nuance.
“That makes sense,” she nodded thoughtfully. “Besides, Laura is known as the ‘Ice Queen’ externally. She’s not one to take an interest in men easily. Even an extra glance is distasteful to her. This marriage with Alan must be a union arranged between their families,” she speculated.
