Chapter 169
“Come, Archie, please have a seat,” Pia greeted him warmly. “Would you like me to get you a glass of
water?”
She knew she had to treat Archie well by hanging onto his coattails.
She felt like deciding to have her daughter divorce Cameron was a stroke of genius as he would only drag them down.
By aligning with Archie, Pia’s family was on the verge of standing at the pinnacle of Yrando, commanding respect and influence.
She could already picture the fawning faces of her relatives, friends, and her old classmates.
“No need, Mom, I’m not thirsty,” Archie smiled as he understood the old woman’s intentions.
However, whether Laura intended to choose him or Madison as the representative was still unclear. Until then, he preferred to keep his cards hidden. As for Madison and those prime collaborators in the capital, it wouldn’t be long before he took complete control.
He planned to divorce Madison once everything was settled.
Madison was oblivious to Archie’s ambitious plans. She was deeply engrossed in the illusion of love he had fabricated for her. She affectionately suggested, “Dear, let’s go to the waterfront tomorrow. Let’s take Mom and Sky with us!”
“Sure, no problem,” Archie agreed instantly.
It was a perfect opportunity for him to check out the venue for Laura’s celebration. He wanted to see what spectacle she had in store.
He felt that all of Yrando would soon be at his feet. After the celebration, there would only be one true elite family in Yrando–the Price family. Archie was filled with excitement with such thoughts.
Elsewhere, Cameron was restless in bed. He couldn’t stop thinking about Laura and the photo she always carried with her.
He wondered if she still had feelings for him. He couldn’t fathom why she sent that breakup text if she still loved him and why she was so cold and ruthless when he went to the Jones residence to seek
answers.
He could never forget that day. It was a sunset evening when he received the breakup text from Laura. He was left in disbelief.
He thought it was a joke. But her phone was off when he tried to call. His heart sank. He immediately went to the Jones residence to seek clarification.
But the Jones family seemed to have anticipated his arrival. They humiliated him, claiming that a mere bodyguard like him could never be worthy of Laura. They accused him of dreaming of punching

above his weight. They even threw a farewell letter from Laura at him.
The content was clear. Laura felt she was too hasty with her choice. Upon reflection, she believed they were not suited for each other. So, she chose to break up.
The handwriting was unmistakably Laura’s. It was identical to the love letter she had written him.
Yet, he refused to believe it. He was convinced that Laura must have had her reasons.
He shouted to request to see Laura at the Jones family’s doorstep. But he was denied entry on the grounds of being “unworthy.”
However, he was determined to see Laura.
The Jones family sensed his resolve and became wary. They were ready for a confrontation.
Perhaps due to the loud commotion, Laura eventually appeared.
Cameron would never forget the cold, ruthless look in her eyes.
Her piercing words, “Do you think you’re worthy of me?” lingered in Cameron’s mind to this day.
