Chapter 125
Cameron said, “Your dad is a deputy mayor, not a king of Yvale.
“It’s just a piece of land. We can win the bid fair and square without nepotism.
“We can do it because we’re capable. If not, it’s our own shortfall, and it has nothing to do with you.
“Ms. Foley, I don’t want to see you here. You’ve ruined my appetite. You made me so sick!”
Sophie didn’t expect Cameron to be so direct, leaving her utterly humiliated.
She said. “Cameron! Alright! You’ll never get that land!
“And don’t even think about future city projects either. Your company won’t get any chance!”
Cameron didn’t even look at Sophie. Ignoring her completely, he poured himself a drink and took a sip.
He left
Sophie
the restaurant with tears streaming down her face.
In the corner, Chloe and her partner put away their cameras and exchanged glances. “Sophie is really bold. She dares to say everything!”
The other said, “It’s all because of her silly mom
But Cameron is pretty cool, not even giving the mayor’s daughter any respect. I like his style.”
Chloe rolled her eyes. “A lot of people like him, but do you think he cares about any of them?
“Let’s go. There’s nothing more to see here.”
At the table, Gavin kindly reminded Cameron, “You’ve offended Ms. Foley, Cameron. What about your company’s city project?”
Cameron looked at Gavin as if he were an idiot and didn’t
reply
Chuck smiled casually. “Gavin, you know there’s a rumor going around in Yvale saying that Cameron and the deputy mayor’s daughter are about to get married.
“Mr. Foley isn’t Sophie. He’s smart.
“If things don’t fall apart, Mr. Foley might be worried about gossip, and then Everbright Group won’t get that land.
“But now, everyone in Yvale knows Cameron has turned down Sophie, so whether he can win the bid or not depends entirely on Everbright Group’s capacities.
“It’s really uncertain who will get that land in the end.”
Gavin nodded. When he looked at the bottle of tequila, he found that it was already half empty.
He said, “Cameron, arent you worried about getting a headache tonight if you keep drinking like that?”
Cameron ignored everyone, and by the time the waiter served the dishes, he had already finished a whole bottle of tequila.
“One more Cameron said to the waiter.
The waiter nodded and walked away.

Chapter 125
The three of them, including Gavin, exchanged glances. Everyone could tell that Cameron was in a bad mood, really bad.
In the end. Gavin suggested. “Cameron, how about I take you back to your room first?”
Even though Cameron was already a little tipsy, his gaze on Gavin was still sharp.
Cameron said, “Yani doesn’t like lies, so I’ve never lied to her, nor have I ever thought of hiding anything from her.
“But why doesn’t she just understand me
Gavin was stunned.
He thought. He’s sharing such private stull. Looks like he’s really drunk.
If tomorrow Cameron recalls what he told me. I’ll be sent abroad immediately!
Gavin said, “Cameron, let’s drink! I’ll join you!”
He thought, I have to get him drunk!
Completely drunk!
Then he’ll forget all about today!‘
Gavin gulped down a glass and poured another for Cameron while speaking.
To avoid hearing Cameron’s innermost thoughts, Gavin had really tried his best.
When there were three empty tequila bottles on the table, Cameron’s face was so red and he couldn’t say anything anymore.
Chuck and Daniel exchanged a glance. Each tried to support one, stumbling as they made their way to the room. Daniel patted Gavin’s face with a smile. “Come on, take a few steps yourself. Wake up!”
Gavin laughed loudly. “I am awake!”
Then he collapsed onto Daniel again.
Daniel could hardly bear his weight. He looked at Chuck, who wasn’t doing much better, and smiled bitterly. “Tell your to give up on Cameron
sister
Chuck nodded. If he was unsure before, what happened today convinced him to tell his sister to let go of her unrealistic hope.
Even if Yanina didn’t agree to be with Cameron in the end, Cameron probably wouldn’t deeply fall in love with another girl
agam.
Rather than let his sister face an unhappy marriage, it was better to be harsh now and let her give up.
In Yanina’s room
Yanina hadn’t been sleeping well lately. Today, with Cameron out of the house, she took the opportunity to bathe her koala loll, put on a fare mask, and take a good rest.
But then she was awakened by the ringing of the doorbell.
Yanina checked the time. It was half past two in the morning
She walked over to open the door and then immediately got hit by the strong smell of alcohol. Insunctively, she covered her

nose.
Then she saw Cameron who was completely drunk and unconscious.
“Yanina, give me a hand! He’s so heavy!” Chuck said.
Yanina said, “Okay.”
Yanina supported Cameron’s arm.
It was as if Cameron knew Yanina was here. He lifted his head from Chuck’s shoulder at once and leaned it against hers. Then he said softly, “Honey.”
Chuck quickly held Cameron’s shoulder, moved him into the room and threw him on the bed with Yanina.
Chuck gave an apologetic smile. “I gotta go.”
Yanina said, “Okay, bye.”
Yanina walked Chuck to the door, but before leaving, Chuck turned around and said, “Actually, Cameron really loves you. Please, don’t let him go.”
After making that sudden remark, Chuck dashed out.
Yanina was a little confused. She didn’t know what Cameron had told them after he got drunk.
She felt as if she was a heartless person who broke the heart of the gentle and romantic Cameron.
Yanina closed the door and returned to the bedroom.
She said, “Cameron, how did you manage to twist things around and act so passionately?
“Stop acting. Get up!”
Cameron turned over, and with a thud, one of his legs fell off the bed.
He was really drunk.
There was no reason with someone drunk. Clearly, Cameron had taken over the bed, which meant Yanina was stuck on the couch tonight.
Yanina reached out to take off his shoes angrily and tried to help him onto the bed.
But as soon as her hand touched his shoe, Cameron suddenly sat up, narrowed his eyes and grabbed Yanina’s hand hard.
He said, “Who are you?”
Yanina frowned and thought, ‘Is he so drunk that he’s talking nonsense now?”
Before she could react, Cameron spoke again, “When’s your birthday?”
