NovelAppAfter what had just happened, Zack's family was clearly too humiliated to stay any longer. After hastily eating a few bites, they made up sexcuses and left.
Faced with a table full of uneaten dishes, Leonard and Jane didn't want the food to go to waste. They decided to get the rest of the dishes packed up.
On the way back, Jane felt a burst of refreshing satisfaction while sitting in the car. "Dear, did you see the look on Zack's face just now? Let's see if they dare to bully us again!" Having been bullied by Zack's family so many times, this felt like a triumphant retrieval of their dignity. And this was all thanks to Cameron.
"Yes." Leonard also recalled the situation as he shifted his gaze toward Cameron. "Cameron, thank you so much for today!" "It's not a problem at all," Cameron replied with a smile.
"By the way, Cameron, when did you becthe owner of Caesar Hotel? You've never mentioned it before," Leonard said curiously.
"Actually, I only hold a small share. The real major owner is still Lord Blackheart, so I didn't mention it earlier I didn't want to boast and make you laugh at me," Cameron explained, scratching his head.
"How could that be? It's us who should be looking up to you!" Leonard hurriedly said.

"You flatter me," Cameron said, somewhat embarrassed by the praise.
"I told you, our Cameron is really modest!" Jane beamed, thoroughly satisfied with her son-in-law. She felt that he was indeed the perfect son-in-law! Watching Cameron being deeply cherished by her parents at this moment, Dakota pressed her lips together. A moist gleam quietly swept across her eyes.
Once back home, Cameron and Dakota went to their bedroom.
Cameron applied medicine to Dakota's bruises. He felt relieved after seeing the bruises on Dakota's body almost gone.
"Dakota, the bruises on your body should be completely healed by tonight," Cameron said happily.
However, Dakota didn't react with the joy he expected. Instead, she showed a touch of sadness. "Then, you'll be leaving soon?" "Yes." Cameron nodded.
"Alright." Dakota's tone dipped slightly.
"What's wrong, Dakota? Are you unhappy?" Cameron asked with concern after he noticed her mood.
"No, it's just... The twe spend together seems to go by so quickly," Dakota softly lamented as she looked up at the ceiling. "Yes." Cameron sighed as well.
He knew what was on Dakota's mind and how he wished he could stay by her side.
But at the moment, there were still many important matters he needed to attend to. The truth behind his mother's death was still out there. He felt that it needed to be uncovered. "Cameron, when do you plan to go to Leving?" she suddenly asked.
It was what she was concerned about most.
"In a little while, but it should be soon." Cameron pondered. "Maybe in about two weeks, maybe less." He had already instructed Lord Blackheart to start investigating everything about the Xander family from that time. He believed it would not take more than a half-month to get results. "Then... You must be careful when that tcomes," Dakota said as her gaze flickered.
She knew she couldn't accompany Cameron, so she could only ask him to take great care.
"Yes, I will." Cameron nodded firmly.

"Silly girl, I'm not leaving yet. Why are you acting like we're about to part forever?" Cameron chuckled as he gently ruffled Dakota's hair.
"No, you have to answerseriously!" Dakota insisted, somewhat stubbornly.
"Okay, I promise!" Cameron replied, extending his pinky.
"Pinky promise! Liars will get their pants on fire!" Dakota held out her finger.
"Silly girl," Cameron laughed warmly as his eyes were filled with a gentle warmth.
"You're the silly one. Just remember, going back on your word means your pants will be on fire." wrinkled her nose and swalightly.
Cameron's gaze deepened. After so many years of hardships alone, this was the first the felt such a deep attachment.
Looking at Dakota's tender yet stubborn demeanor, a strange emotion surged in his heart.
He pulled her into his embrace.
"Uh!" And then, he kissed her when she let her guard down.
