Chapter 48
Archie’s words were filled with mockery and scorn.
He snorted and looked at Cameron in anticipation.
“You seem very confident of yourself.” Cameron smiled lightly.
“I have always been a confident man. Unlike a certain someone who can only adorn himself with borrowed plumes,” mocked Archie.
He wholeheartedly believed that Lord Blackheart was Cameron’s “borrowed plumes” at the wedding. Now he wanted to see Cameron make a fool of himself without anyone there to help him.
“Is that so?” Cameron said indifferently.
The corners of Archie’s lips twitched and annoyance washed over him. “You’re a fucking good actor, brat! But Lord Blackheart has left Yrando. There’s no one around to help you now!”
“Didn’t Blackheart say h
he would be back soon? Besides, it’s just a small banquet. I don’t need his help for this,” Cameron responded calmly.
“I see you’re still keeping up your act! Just keep pretending then!” Archie sneered.
“Do you think you’re some big shot, Cameron?” Madison scoffed. “When are you going to accept reality?”
“You’re the ones who should accept reality,” Cameron said, turning to Madison. “Do you really think Archie’s father is so great that Timothy would organize a banquet for you as compensation?”
“What other reason could there be? Do you think he did it for a piece of trash like you?” Madison was so angry that her face turned red.
“Dakota, your boyfriend is such a great actor!”
Madison’s friends were annoyed by the disturbance, and they shot Cameron and Dakota dirty looks.
“If it were me, I would’ve left long ago. How could you be this shameless and still remain here? And you’re even insulting the host!”
“She’s right! Mr. Price had already given you an excuse to leave, but you’re still being so stubborn!”
“He’s just a fucking moocher who feeds off of his woman!”
The crowd’s insults only fueled Madison’s anger. She tilted her chin proudly and looked down her nose at Cameron. “Do you hear that? Hurry up and scram! Stop embarrassing yourself by staying here! No one will believe you!”
“Leave?” Cameron stared at Madison. “This banquet was held for me and Dakota. Without us here, there won’t be a banquet.”
“Prove it!” Madison was at her limit. “If it’s as you said, then this banquet would end if you both

leave!”
“Fuck! Why are you so stubborn?” Madison stomped her feet in anger.

Madison’s friends immeded in, “This is Madison’s banquet! You’re just trying to get free food by being here! Just drop the fucking act!”
“Leave! I can feel my appetite leaving me just by looking at you!”
Insults filled the air.
Dakota’s face fell. She stood up to retort, but Cameron stopped her.
He slowly stood up and said to the crowd, “Since we’re not welcome here, we’ll be taking our leave now. Don’t come crying to us later.”
With that, Cameron led Dakota out of the room.
“Why would we do that? You think too highly of yourself!”
“Those eyesores finally left!”
The crowd scoffed and sneered at the two retreating figures.
After Cameron and Dakota left, the door to the room was pushed open again. Caspian walked in with a few of his men.
Although his arms were in a cast, that didn’t take away the intimidating aura around him. His men were carrying two expensive bottles of Romanée–Conti behind him.
As expected of Lord Caspian!
“You’re here, Lord Caspian!” Archie and Madison immediately greeted Caspian warmly. “Please have
a seat.”
However, Caspian ignored them and stared at the other two empty seats. He asked, “Where are Mr. Morgan and Ms. Jennings? Haven’t they arrived yet?”
