Chapter 134
“Ouch!”
Cameron winced as Peggy bit him unexpectedly.
He felt his muscles tensing from the sudden pain.
“Hey, Ms. Lee, what are you doing? I’m here to rescue you. Why are you biting me?” he exclaimed, gritting his teeth.
Peggy ignored his protests and bit down even harder.
“Are you a dog or something? Let go…”
“You’re the one who’s a dog!”
Peggy finally released her bite while her eyes brimmed with tears.
Cameron was about to rebuke her but paused when he noticed the tears in her eyes, especially the
shards of sadness hidden within.
“Alright. Forget it.”
He sighed, understanding she had been terrified.
“Forget it? I’m not done with you, Cameron!”
Peggy glared at him with her eyes filled with resentment.
“What’s with the biting? I saved you, didn’t I?” Cameron replied with a hint of exasperation in his
voice.
“I’m ungrateful? You heartless piece of shit. You weren’t even trying to help. You’re not a man at all!”
Peggy’s anger flared again, loudly berating Cameron as if to vent all her fear and frustration.
“So that’s what this is about.”
Cameron realized the reason for her behavior, then chuckled wryly.
“But I did that to save you.”
“That’s your excuse for a rescue? You were just looking out for yourself!” Peggy snapped back, not buying Cameron’s explanation.
“Ms. Lee, don’t you see? If I had shown too much concern, I’d end up like Colonel Bailey, completely at the mercenary’s mercy. Would he have given me a chance then?”
Cameron shook his head as he tried to explain.
His words made Peggy pause and reconsider.

“Is that true?” she asked.
“Of course, Didn’t you see how I provoked him to create an opening?”
Cameron added, “Besides, why else would I come here if not to rescue you?”
Peggy was moved when she realized Cameron had indeed come for her. Her anger towards him began to dissipate.
“Still, you were too convincing. You fooled me too!” she huffed, feeling some warmth on her cheeks.
“Ms. Lee, would he have believed me if I wasn’t convincing?” Cameron replied, feeling somewhat helpless.
“Whatever…” Peggy stubbornly muttered as her face grew hotter.
Cameron simply smiled. He thought arguing with women was futile.
Peggy knew she was at fault, so she changed the subject.
“What will you do with him now?”
“I’ll take him with me for a thorough interrogation,” Cameron said as he turned solemn.
“Once I obtain the name of his employer, I’ll inform Ms. Jones.”
Peggy’s opinion of Cameron shifted slightly. Just as she was about to speak, a moan of “It’s so hot” caught her off guard.
Cameron shuddered, realizing he had forgotten about Lena in the midst of it all.
Lena’s body was now burning up. Her skin was flushed pink, and her eyes were clouded in a haze of desire. Just glancing at her sent Cameron’s blood racing, nearly causing a nosebleed.
It was a relief to solve one problem, only to be confronted with an even bigger one.
