In the changing room, Peggy looked at Cameron with an embarrassed expression. She was genuinely scared, so
she asked Cameron for help even though it meant delaying his search for the assassin.
“Alright,” Cameron agreed upon seeing Peggy's genuine fear. He hadn't known that Laura and Otis had already
left the area. He also knew it wouldn't be unsafe for Peggy to go to the parking lot alone, especially considering
the short distance from here.
“Thank you!” Peggy's eyes flickered with gratitude. She thought perhaps Cameron wasn’t so bad.
after all.
“Let's go,” Cameron said with a slight smile. The two left the building and walked towards the open air parking
lot.
Along the way, there was no sign of the assassin’s presence. With Cameron by her side, Peggy felt a lot more
secure. The tension in her body gradually cased.

“By the way, Cameron, did you need something from Ms. Jones?” Peggy asked.
Her tone was much softer now that she felt Cameron was a decent person.
“I just needed to confirm something with her,” Cameron responded.
“That's perfect. Once we get to the parking lot, you'll be able to see Ms. Jones and ask her directly,” Peggy noted
as she glanced at Cameron.
“Let’s leave it for another time. It is more important to find the assassin right now,” Cameron said.
Cameron knew the matter couldn't be resolved in a brief conversation. With the assassin still at large, that was
clearly his priority. Besides, Otis and Peggy would be present, and it was a question best asked when Cameron
could speak to Laura privately in the hotel.
“You do know how to prioritize, huh?” Peggy complimented. Her view of Cameron had improved significantly at
that moment.
“Peggy, I've always been like this, okay?” Cameron couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Peggy's cheeks flushed slightly at his response. She felt that maybe he had a point. She had formed a poor
opinion of Cameron mainly because of his rude attitude towards Laura and because he was from a rural area,
seemingly unremarkable at first glance.
“Okay, | admit I might have been biased against you before. But can you blme? You were so horrible to Ms.
Jones, Peggy retorted as she curved her lips slightly. “So, what exactly is your relationship with Ms. Jones? I've
been with her for almost seven years, and she’s always been aloof. Why does she care so much about you?”
Peggy suddenly remembered this. She curiously wondered if there was something special about
Cameron.

“Let's talk about that sother time, Peggy. The parking lot is just a hundred meters ahead,” Cameron pointed
towards the parking lot.

“Hmph, such pettiness,” Peggy huffed as she sensed Cameron dodging the question. “Can’t you givejust a
hint? Just a little one?”
Cameron just smiled. He was clearly not intending to answer.
“You're so petty!” Frustrated by Cameron's silence, Peggy huffed, “Fine, forget it!”
She turned to leave.
“Wait!” Cameron suddenly looked alarmed and grabbed Peggy’s wrist.
Peggy's heart skipped a beat. She wondered why he was suddenly grabbing her hand...
“Get down!” Before Peggy could ponder any further, Cameron yelled.
She instinctively followed his lead and ducked.
“Bang!”
The moment they crouched, a massive explosion erupted in the parking lot right in front of them. Flames
instantly engulfed the area, precisely where Laura had been!
