Chapter 210
Madison’s expression froze in disbelief.
Did Lena just refer to Cameron as her friend?
Cameron was also taken aback. He hadn’t expected Lena to speak up for him. This woman was surprisingly righteous.
“Colonel Bailey, you… you just said that Cameron is your friend?” Madison looked at Lena in disbelief.
“Who are you calling a useless person?” Lena raised her eyebrows.
Madison’s heart skipped a beat as she hastily explained, “I meant Cameron. He’s my ex–husband. He leeched off me for five years and cheated on me during our marriage. I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I kicked him out. You… you’re not being deceived by him, are you?”
“Are you questioning my judgment?” Lena’s gaze turned cold.
“No… no, of course not…” Madison’s face went pale.
“Then shut up now,” Lena said angrily.
“Yes…”
Madison kept quiet. She didn’t dare to provoke Lena.
“Colonel Bailey, please calm down,” Archie interjected.
“My fiancée may have been too straightforward in her speech just now and inadvertently offended you. But she’s just concerned that someone with ulterior motives might deceive you.
“The person beside you is indeed my fiancée’s ex–husband, a well–known boy toy. He’s now with Dakota, only eyeing the little influence the Jennings family has in Yrando, trying to freeload off them.
“And you, as a colonel, being with such a freeloader would tarnish your reputation!”
“So, are you also trying to teach me a lesson?” Lena furrowed her brows, glaring at Archie.
“Of course not… I was just trying to give you a friendly reminder. I really didn’t mean any harm,” Archie bowed his head and tried to appear sincere.
“Then put away your hypocritical kindness. I have eyes; I can see for myself,” Lena replied, paying
Archie no mind.
“Hehe…” Archie’s mouth twitched as he mustered a laugh awkwardly.
“If there’s nothing else, then stay away from me. You’re blocking my view,” Lena said impatiently, raising her fingers.
Archie’s expression soured further after being driven away.
He couldn’t understand how Cameron managed to gain Lena’s support. Before this, Lena had

repeatedly caused trouble for Cameron!
“Let’s go, Dear. If they don’t appreciate it, we have no reason to stick around. People who don’t understand might think we’re just jealous of that worthless person and trying to stir up trouble on purpose,” Madison interjected, clearly displeased with Lena’s attitude just now.
“Hehe, yes, after all, Ms. Jones originally organized this banquet for us,” Archie said with a sarcastic laugh.
“You’re saying Laura organized this banquet for you?” Lena furrowed her brows.
“That’s right, Colonel Bailey,” Archie replied confidently. “You may not know, but this banquet was a surprise prepared by Ms. Jones for Madison and I. During the banquet, Ms. Jones will choose one of us to represent her in Yrando.”
“Laura chose you as her representative? Are you sure?” Lena raised an eyebrow.
It didn’t seem probable. Laura doesn’t seem like someone without insight. Moreover, according to her insider information, Laura organized this banquet for Cameron.
“Absolutely,” Archie affirmed proudly, barely concealing his arrogance. “After all, the person who can get Ms. Jones to organize such an event is definitely one–of–a–kind, not just in Yrando, but even in the entire Leving!”
“Then can you tell me why I heard that Laura organized this banquet for someone else?” Lena smiled playfully.
“Who?” Archie was taken aback.
Lena glanced at Cameron.
