Chapter 335
"What do you mean by that?" Hector stiffened briefly before turning to glare at Cameron.
"Explain. I want to know all about it before I let you leave," Cameron said coolly. "Why did Laura send you people here?"
Hector sneered. "This has nothing to do with you. I don't have to tell you anything about it! You, on the other hand, injured Phoenix. I haven't gotten the chance to teach you a lesson, but don't you dare be too full of yourself!"
"He started it. He deserved it." Cameron's eyes were cold when he said that.
"You—" Hector was so livid with rage that he couldn't finish his sentence. Furious, he flung a hand in the air as if to dismiss Cameron and said, "I don't have the time to argue with you!"
Now, he had to bring Phoenix back to the Jones residence to recuperate.
"I said," Cameron started. "You can't leave until you explain everything to me."
His voice wasn't that loud, but it was forceful and resolute.
"Don't be too full of yourself! You'll regret it otherwise!" Hector warned. Then, in a slightly hushed voice, he said, "I admit that you're quite the strong opponent, but you're nothing in the eyes of the Jones family!"
Cameron's gaze turned colder. "I'm not sure just how affluent that family is, but I think that you don't have the right to talk to me like that yet."
Back then, Laura and Cameron broke up right in front of the Jones residence. Of the many people who insulted him, Hector was one of them.
That was exactly why Cameron wouldn't let things slide.
"You, bastard!" Hector seethed.
Phoenix piped in, "Mr. Hector, you've seen just how arrogant that worthless man is! Quick! Kill him!"
His bloodshot eyes showed how much he loathed Cameron.
"You'd better shut up!" Hector roared.
Laura wouldn't agree to him killing Cameron. Besides, Hector would be on the losing end if he actually went against Cameron.
Only seven years had passed, yet Cameron's growth hugely exceeded Hector's expectations.
Still, Cameron was a long way away from going against the Jones family and the Xander family.
After all, he was only in the Martial Emperor stage. He couldn't affect the two families by much.
Just then, an idea emerged in Hector's mind.
Glancing at Cameron, he said, "I know you still can't forget Ms. Jones. You should stop daydreaming. She didn't send Phoenix here because she was worried about you."
He continued, "She simply wanted to know how long you'd last after finding out that you've gotten on the bad side of the Zimmer family. However, you've disappointed her. Compared to Mr. Xander, you're just a useless man who leeches off women."
"Did Laura say all of that?" Cameron asked, doubtful.
Hector let out a bark of scornful laughter. "Why would I lie to you about that? Otherwise, why wouldn't Phoenix help you out? I don't need to remind you who he's working for, right?"
Cameron fell silent. He subconsciously clenched his fists.
Upon noticing this, a sliver of glee flashed across Hector's eyes. It seemed like he'd succeeded in driving a wedge between Laura and Cameron.
If Cameron completely gave up on her, the Jones family would certainly have a brighter future!
In ten days' time, Laura and Alan would have their wedding at Emperor Hotel. By then, these two descendants of the Jones family and the Xander family would finally tie the knot.
With the Xander family's support, the Jones family would achieve greatness! And Hector would rise in status in Leving too!
Even if Cameron attended the wedding, he wouldn't be able to stop the marriage from happening.
However, as one of the older generations in the Jones family, Hector needed to get rid of all the foreseeable problems. That way, the wedding would go on as planned!
"That's why," Hector said. "You should forget all about Ms. Jones. Her heart belongs to Mr. Xander already."
He wanted to give Cameron the final, strongest blow.
