Chapter 52
Yanina didn’t say anything.
Suddenly, she remembered when those fake reporters surrounded her a few days ago, the photos they were holding were taken at the vineyard that Callie just mentioned.
She thought. What a coincidence!
Is she afraid that I didn’t suffer enough from those reporters? She wants to embarrass me on her own?
Yanina said lightly to the waiter. “I don’t like red wine. Get me a bottle of tequila.”
Shawn said, pointing a finger at Yanina, “I don’t like red wine either. I want tequila too!”
The implication was clear: “Don’t forget my suggestion. Being my girl is a very sweet thing.”
Yanina understood it but she just smiled gently.
Unfortunately, someone else saw their interaction. But what they thought was different
Callie looked surprised.
She said. “So, those rumors are true. You guys are dating!
But seriously. Ms. Fulbright and Mr. Haney, you two really make a fantastic couple!”
This time, Vanessa and Jordan looked surprised with their mouths wide
They were confused and thought, “What the hell?
“Wait. Why is everything so different from what we heard?
Isn’t Yanina supposed to be Cameron’s wife?
Her relationship with Shawn is just a hype, isn’t it?‘
open
But what Callie said is weird. It seems there is really something going on between them.
Yanina’s face darkened.
She didn’t care if people talked about Shawn and her. But using their hype while targeting something else was a whole different thing
Cameron said, “Calliel” He sounded furious.
Looking innocent, Callie turned to Cameron. “Cameron, did I say something wrong?”
Before Cameron could say anything. Shawn said coldly, “Ms. Stark, you need to apologize to Ms. Fulbright and me.
“If you don’t apologize for spreading rumors about us, I won’t hesitate to repeat what you told me this morning right here.”
Shawn stared at her with a frightening look.
Callie immediately flushed with anger.
She couldn’t believe Shawn was so resolute to defend Yanina. He even threatened to tell everything that happened this morning.

She thought. Isn’t he and Cameron supposed to be rivals?
What I said is apparently helpful to him? Why did he say that?
Is it all because of Vanina!
“Why?
Why is she the center of everyone’s attention?
Though Callie felt anxious, angry, irritated, and jealous, Callie forced a smile.
Callie said. “Ms. Fulbright, Mr.Haney, I’m sorry, I misunderstood you two.”
Tears welled in her eyes and she looked extremely sad.
Cameron’s brow furrowed tightly. She didn’t say anything.
Shawn said. “Zak, can we switch seats? I can’t stand this lousy acting, I feel so uncomfortable sitting here.”
As Shawn stood up. Zak couldn’t refuse him. He had to switch seats with Shawn.
Cameron glanced at Shawn, feeling a bit annoyed.
Cameron was supposed to be the one standing up for Yanina!
However, since Callie saved his life, Cameron couldn’t say anything too harsh. He had to watch Shawn take the lead.
Cameron thought, Shawn said they had a conversation this morning. What was it about?”
Just when Cameron was puzzled about it, the waiter walked in and served the dishes.
Vanessa took a bite of the cod tart in front of her and couldn’t help but praise it.
She said, “It’s so fresh. It tastes great.
Jordan couldn’t help leaning over her. “Let me try it
Vanessa put the cod tart, which she had taken a bite of, into Jordan’s mouth.
Their interaction made everyone else’s eyes light up at the table
Cameron said, “Ya, try this.”
He forked
up a piece of steak and held it near Yanina’s mouth.
But Yanina acted as if she didn’t notice and poured herself a glass of wine.
Holding his glass of wine, Yanina said to Jordan, “Thank you, Mr. Keys, for your help. Here’s to you.”
After that, she drank her drink in one gulp.
Jurdan chuckled and downed his glass of wine too. “It’s a pleasure”
But the word “sister–in–law in his sentence made Yanina frown.
Cameron said as he reached out to p
press down Yau
Yanina’s glass. “Tequila is strong. You should be more careful”
However, Yanina glanced at him, pushed his hand away, and poured herself another glass of Tequila.

Yanina drank it in one gulp. Shawn, thank you for all your help from the live stream to this short film. Thanks!”
Shawn downed his glass too.
After two glasses of tequila, Yanina flushed. She swayed a bit, barely steadying herself.
But she raised her glass again.
Cameron said, worried. “Yani!”
Shawn said, “Yanina!”
Sitting on either side of Yanina, Cameron and Shawn both reached out at the same time to press down her glass.
Cameron whispered. “Stop drinking. You’re already drunk. He sounded so soft that Yanina almost thought he was a different person.
Shawn didn’t say anything. He just pressed down Yanina’s glass harder.
The two men exchanged a look. The atmosphere was indescribably strange.
Cameron poured himself a glass of tequila and raised it up at Shawn.
Shawn knew what he meant. He picked up his glass as well. The two of them stared at each other. Their movements were surprisingly in sync as they drank their wine in one gulp.
Jordan raised his eyebrow. He looked at Cameron, who had once maneuvered through countless pretty girls, and then turned to Yanina. He shook his head slightly, thinking that the biggest obstacle to a man was a beautiful woman.
Vanessa liked Yanina, especially after learning who Yanina really was. She thought Yanina was extraordinary.
No matter what other people said about her, her mood would never be affected. She always looked calm in the face of either praise or criticism
Now, even though the tension between the two men was mounting perceptibly, she was still eating her food and sipping her wine, looking relaxed.
Vanessa whispered to Jordan, “Should we try to stop them?”
Jordan finally got to see what Cameron looked like when he was drunk. How could he be willing to miss this great opportunity?
Jordan said, “No need to intervene with their business. Let them drink! With so many bodyguards around us, we don’t have to worry. These bodyguards will carry them back home.”
Callie couldn’t stay put anymore.
She said, “Cameron, you know your stomach can’t handle strong liquor.
Callie stood up and started walking toward Cameron
Yanina, with her eyes blurred, glanced at Callie and sneered. She thought she was wrong about Callie,
Now, she realized Callie was just a sly bitch
Yaquina looked at the food on Callie’s plate and sneered, “Ms. Stark, don’t you miss the food that you ate seven or eight years ago? Why didn’t you eat anything?”
Yanina said sarcastically. “Of course, a meal is nothing compared to your precious Cameron!”

Callie stood still. She was not upset at all. Instead, she looked genuinely worried.
She said, “Cameron’s stomach can’t handle this kind of liquor. It will unsettle his stomach.
Yanina gave her a sideways glance. “You know him so well, huh? People who don’t know the truth would think you were his wife.
