Chapter 21
Cameron paused. He looked at Dakota beside him, taking in her
earnest eyes.
In the end, he still couldn’t hide it from her.
“That’s right.” Cameron took a breath and nodded.
Dakota’s heart trembled violently.
In fact, she had a feeling Cameron’s identity wasn’t simple. Despite
having mental preparations beforehand, she was still shocked when
she heard him answer it himself.
“So… are you really that big shot?” Dakota’s breathing quickened as
she asked this.
“What if I said yes?” Cameron chuckled.
Dakota was even more shocked.
Her delicate body trembled uncontrollably in excitement.
She never dreamed that a real big shot would appear before her!
But after the shock, what was left was a huge gap in status betwee
her and Cameron.
Thinking she was not worthy of Cameron, Dakota found her previous naive thoughts ridiculous.
She realized Cameron was only joking with her that night. It was presumptuous of her to think he was confessing to her.

Dakota was dismayed.
Cameron noticed the emotion on Dakota’s face.
He said with a smile, “Come on, I’m kidding with you. How could I be a big shot?”
Phew! Dakota secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked up at Cameron and said, “Mr. Morgan, who are you then?
Don’t tell me you are just an ordinary person. I won’t believe it.”
“I am indeed just an ordinary person. At most, I’m a little outstanding.
It was really because I saved his life that Lord Blackheart helped me
today. Also, I used to be a descendant of the Morgan family. That’s
why I have connections with him,” Cameron replied.
Because Dakota chose to believe in him, he didn’t want to keep things.
from her. But equally, he also didn’t want her to feel pressured
because of his identity.
Therefore, he came up with a compromise.
“The Morgan family?” Dakota’s eyes flickered. “Is it that Morgan fami
-one of the eight prominent families in Leving?”
“Yes, but I was no longer one of them since a long time ago.”
“Why?”
“I was kicked out due to incompetence,” Cameron mocked himself.
“They must not have discerning eyes!” Dakota stood up for him.
In her eyes, Cameron had always been an amazing person.
Cameron was startled. He said softly, “Thank you.”
“Mr. Morgan, what did you thank me for? You are indeed excellent!”
said Dakota.
“Thank you for trusting me.”
Smiling warmly, Cameron said, “Just call me Cameron from now on. Mr. Morgan sounds old.”
“Okay! Then you can also call me Dakota from now on. Let’s get to know each other afresh.”
Dakota stretched out her hand with a bright smile on her face.
She felt that the distance between Cameron and her was much closer.
Cameron smiled lightly and gently shook hands with Dakota.
Her hands were soft, he thought.
“By the way, Dakota, can you do me a favor?” Cameron spoke softly.
“What’s that?” Dakota looked at Cameron.
“I have never told anyone about my identity. Can you keep this secr
for me?”
“Yes, sure.” Dakota nodded vigorously.
“Thanks.” Cameron smiled gently.
“Don’t mention it.” Dakota waved her hand.
Her heartbeat quickened at this moment.

Was this considered a secret between her and Cameron?
When Dakota was musing, her phone suddenly rang in her bag.
It was Bobby!
Dakota quickly answered the phone. “Hello, Mr. Kane!”
“Ms. Jennings, the contract for the project in the city has been
drafted. You can come over to sign it at any time when you are free,” Bobby said politely.
“Mr. Kane, I’ll come over now. Please wait for me!”
“Okay, Ms. Jennings.”
After hanging up the phone, Dakota looked at Cameron with
unconcealable excitement. “Awesome! Mr. Kane wants to sign the
contract with me!”
“Congratulations.” Cameron grinned.
“Phew!” Dakota suddenly took a deep breath nervously.
“What’s wrong?” Cameron was somewhat startled.
“Nothing… I’m just a little nervous,” said Dakota.
This contract was too important to the Jennings family.
“Do you want me to go with you?” asked Cameron.
“Is it really okay?” Dakota’s heart fluttered.
“Of course.”
“Thank you, Cameron.”
“Haha, don’t mention it. Let’s go.”
“Okay!”
